Kadyrov M.A. , Associate Professor, Department of Medical and Biological Chemistry, Medical Biology, Biophysics and Medical Informatics, Tashkent state medical university, UzbekistanAbstract
This article examines the biochemical and pharmacological aspects of the use of zinc and cobalt coordination compounds in modern medical practice. The relevance of switching from inorganic salts to biocoordination compounds with organic ligands (amino acids, vitamins) to increase the therapeutic index and reduce toxicity is substantiated. The roles of zinc as an immunomodulator and antioxidant, and cobalt as a key component of hematopoiesis, are described. The potential for using these complexes in endocrinology, oncology, and regenerative medicine is analyzed.
Keywords
