Abstract

A general mechanism for the action of metal compounds either in enhancing the biological damage induced by active oxygen species or in protecting the biological target against these species is proposed. The effect of several copper complexes and iron and copper bleomycin complexes on DNA cleavage is discussed in view of this mechanism.
