چکیده

The antiarthritic drug, aumnofin ("Ridaura’) is an orally-active antiarthdtic drug containing linear Au(I). The gold is co-ordinated by triethylphosphine and the sulfur of tetraacetyl-I-D-1thioglucose (HSATg). Deacetylation occurs during absorption and then the thioglucose is displaced via ligand displacement reactions. Over 80% of the gold in the blood is carded by serum albumin, a 66 kDa single-chain protein with high helical content and three strucumlly similar domains.2
