What Types of Catalysts Are Used in Anticancer Research?
Transition Metal Catalysts: These include complexes of platinum, ruthenium, and gold, which have been extensively studied for their ability to interfere with DNA replication in cancer cells. Enzyme Mimics: Synthetic molecules that mimic the catalytic activity of natural enzymes, enabling targeted activation of anticancer drugs. Nanocatalysts: Nanoscale materials that provide high surface area and unique properties, improving the efficiency and selectivity of catalytic processes in cancer treatment.
