Siderophores Antibacterial delivery Antituberculosis, contrast agents for MRI [Pg.360]

Keyhole limpet Hapten carrier, vaccine Antiproliferative in several [Pg.360]

Tranexamic acid Solubility enhancer Antifibrinolytic agent, hemophilia [Pg.360]

Fullerenes Radioisotope delivery to tumor cells, MRI contrast agents Antibacterial, neuroprotective, inhibition of HIV activity [Pg.360]
