Abstract

Many of the properties of the lanthanides appear to lend themselves to clinical application. The lanthanides are antimicrobial and anticoagulant substances which suppress many of the types of Ca2+-dependent cellular activation processes (Section 6.4) that occur in diseases. Lanthanides are of relatively low toxicity (Chapter 8), while their metabolism can be manipulated by the presence of specific chelators, by varying the site of injection, or both (Chapter 7). In addition, lanthanides appear to accumulate in tumors or at sites of inflammation. They provide a range of radioisotopes, with various half-lives, which emit α, β, or γ radiation, while certain members are strongly paramagnetic. In addition, most lanthanides are cheap, readily available, and straightforward to work with. As alluded to in the introductory chapter (Section 1.3), the evidence suggests that lanthanides are worth investigating as agents with which to attack several of the major diseases of the Western world.
