...Abstract |
Introduction: Over the past three
decades, gallium compounds have gained importance in medicine.
Radioactive gallium and stable gallium nitrate are used as diagnostic
and therapeutic agents in cancer and disorders of calcium and bone
metabolism. In addition, gallium compounds have displayed anti
inflammatory and immunosuppressive activity in animal models of human
diseases. More recent studies have shown that gallium compounds may also
function as antimicrobial agents.
Key words:gallium,
