Gallium, a group IIIa metal, shares chemical properties with iron. Studies have shown that
gallium-based compounds have potential therapeutic activity against certain cancers and …

Gallium, a semi-metallic element in group 13 (IIIa) of the periodic table, has shown efficacy
in the treatment of several apparently diverse disorders. These disorders can be broadly …

Literature regarding the biochemistry of aluminum and eight similar ions is reviewed. Close
and hitherto unknown similarities were found. A hypothetical model is presented for the …

Gallium has a long history as a diagnostic and chemotherapeutic agent. The
pharmacological properties of Ga (III) rely on chemical mimicry; when Ga (III) is exogenously …

There is an ever pressing need to develop new drugs for the treatment of cancer. Gallium
nitrate, a group IIIa metal salt, inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells in vitro and in vivo and …

BACKGROUND: The iron transport protein of the blood plasma, transferrin, is maintained
only with about 30% of its capacity to bind Fe3+ ions; this leaves the protein the potential …

GaOOH powders of submicron dimensions were synthesized through a simple, surfactant-
free hydrothermal synthesis at pH values of 7 and 14. Sn and Cr at concentrations of 2 mol …

There are two gallium radioisotopes, 67Ga and 68Ga, possessing nuclear properties”'that
make them attractive for use in nuclear medicine (Table 1). The first, 67Ga, is cyclotron …

Gallium, group IIIa metal, shares certain chemical characteristics with iron which enable it to
function as an iron mimetic that can disrupt iron-dependent tumor cell growth. Gallium may …

Ions are ubiquitous in nature. They play a key role for many biological processes on the
molecular scale, from molecular interactions, to mechanical properties, to folding, to self …
