STRUCTURAL EFFECTS OF THE AU(I) DRUG AURANOFIN ON CELL MEMBRANES AND MOLECULAR MODELS

Auranofin is a gold compound that is widely used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. It is a monomeric linear complex with triethylphosphine and thiolate moieties bounded to an Au(I) center. Gold compounds are well known for their neurological and nephrotoxic implications. However, haematolog...
