The method is simple and accurate. By the determination of the metal residues in the samples, the calculated actual daily exposure and concentration of the metal Pd, Ir, Rh, Ru, Mo, Ni, Cr, V, Cu, Mn, Fe and Zn that were less than the permitted daily exposures (PDE) and the limited concentration permitted in the EMEA guideline on the specification limits for residues of metal catalysts or metal reagents [1] . The metal residues can de adequately removed from the active pharmaceutical ingredients and the corresponding drugs. The trace metal residues will not affect human health and lead to the safety hazard by the intravenous injection.展开更多

For the first time we demonstrated in vivoa possibility of development of palladium compounds, which exceed cisplatin in antitumor activity and do not show immunosuppressive effects, and palladium compounds with immunostimulating and radioprotective activities. Combinations of cytostatic agents or radiation with palladium complexes lead to significant synergism of their activities and high therapeutic efficiency exceeded an efficiency of their separated use.展开更多
