A highly efficient and extremely selective intracellular copper detoxifying agent based on nanoparticles of ZnMoS4

Abstract

Biocompatible ZnMoS4 NPs can selectively remove intracellular copper ions via ion-exchange rather than chelation. This strategy represents a paradigm shift in designing new-generation intracellular metal detoxifying drugs.
