Metal-Mediated Antibiotic Action

  • Chapter
Transition Metal Complexes as Drugs and Chemotherapeutic Agents

Part of the book series: Catalysis by Metal Complexes ((CMCO,volume 11))

  • 225 Accesses

Abstract

The chemical production of hydroxyl radical, either by metal-mediated redox reactions or as a result of radiolysis products, can induce strand breaks in DNA. An example of a chemotherapeutic agent whose chemical production of activated oxygen is believed to be the critical step in its action is bleomycin, a naturally occurring antibiotic. The binding of metals to this and other antibiotics has been summarized in detail [1–3] and the material presented here is based on these reviews.
