Abstract

The study of metal-based drugs represents an important branch of modern bioinorganic chemistry. The growing importance of this field is linked to the large success in medicine of a few metal based drugs, either in clinical use or still experimental. Moreover, these metal-based drugs are frequently used as reference compounds to assess comparatively the behavior of newly synthesized metallodrugs. For the convenience of researchers working in this area we report here a compilation of the relevant analytical and spectroscopic data of ten representative metallodrugs based on Platinum, Ruthenium, Gold and Mercury. The selected compounds, namely Cisplatin, Oxaliplatin, Carboplatin, Auranofin, Sodium Aurothiomalate, NAMI-A, KP1019, Thimerosal, Merbromin and Phenylmercury Acetate, were chosen owing to their importance in the field. We believe that this compilation may turn very helpful to researchers as these data are difficult to find and generally scattered over a large number of (old) publications.
