[Metallothionein and medicine]
Abstract:
Metallothioneins are attractive substances. One of the features of these proteins is the inducibility in response to heavy metals, to a great variety of metabolites and to stress factors. In mammalia, their synthesis may be induced by interleukin-6 in response to inflammation. Metallothionein could prevent renal toxicity of cDDP without compromising its anticancer activity. However, metallothionein is also implicated in the resistance to cDDP. There are now good evidences that metallothionein is involved in many diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease, toxemia of pregnancy, liver disease, etc.

Metal-Ligand Bonds
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Antidotes
Specific antidotes operate by inhibiting the enzymes that control biochemical pathways, reducing the production of harmful metabolites.
An example of an antidote is atropine, which counteracts the detrimental effects of cholinesterase inhibitors. It achieves this by deactivating muscarinic receptors,...
