Definition of inorganic chemistry. It's importance to medical technology and application to the medical technology.

 

It is the study of inorganic compounds which are the chemical compunds that lack carbon- hydrogen bond and are nit organic compunds. Inorganic chemistry deals with the synthesis and behavior of inorganic and organometallic compunds.

Rest of the answer is explained below:

Step-by-step explanation

Importance of inorganic chemistry in medical technology are:

1.Gold complexes with anti-arthritic, anti-tumour and anti-HIV activity are used for treating arthritis, HIV etc.

2.Nitric oxide has a great use in physiology and medicine.

3.Therapeutic aspects of manganese (II)-based superoxide dismutase mimics.

4.Vanadium compounds as possible insulin modifiers.

5.Cisplatin-based anticancer agents.

Dinuclear and trinuclear plantinum anticancer agents.These are the uses of inorganic compunds in medical chemistry.

Application of inorganic compunds are:

1.Used as neurological agents

Lithium drugs such 

as lithium carbonate Li2

C03 are used for the treatment of 

manic-depressive disorders, most likely through an effect on the 

transmission of neural signals.

2. Used as anticancer agents

Metal compounds can bind tightly to biomolecules such as DNA 

to kill cancer cells. Cisplatin [cis-diamminedichloro platinum 

(II)one of the leading metal-based drugs, is widely 

used in the treatment of testicular cancer. 

3.Used as antimicrobial agents

Antimony (V) drugs namely sodium 

stibogluconate and N-methylglucamine 

antimonate (Glucantime) are used clinically for the treatment of leishmaniasis, a disease caused by intracellular parasites.

4.Anti viral agents

Polyoxometallates exhibit antiviral activity. 

5.Antiflammatory agents

Gold-based drugs prescribed for the treatment of rheumatoid 

arthritis are disease-modifying anti-rheumatoid drugs and are 

known to inhibit the progression of the disease and, in some 

cases, cause remission

6.Cardiovascular agents

NO is produced in the body and the physiological processes 

mediated by NO include neurotransmission, blood pressure reg

ulation and immunological response. The low spin ferrous com-

plex, sodium nitroprusside Naz [Fe(CN)sNO] 2Hz

O

is often employed for the treatment of hypertension to lower 

blood pressure in human subjects.
