A review of the therapeutic properties of dithiocarbamates

The persistence of infectious diseases that continue to plague the world, as well formation harmful substances within human body, such free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) have sparked new research. Thus, need for innovative approaches developing or modification existing therapeutic agents. The design biologically important metal complexes dithiocarbamates (DTCs) has been made possible by recent advancements in Dithiocarbamates are reduced thiuram disulfides with excellent complexing capabilities various applications. They potent work tandem core ions coordinating compounds produce synergistic effects. many uses, including antidotes poisoning, cisplatin carboplatin toxicity, clinical trials cancer, Lyme disease, immunodeficiency virus antibiotics. exert anti-oxidant effect cells. understanding mechanisms action this agent is drug repurposing. This review highlights protective properties dithiocarbamate biological systems.
