    Although copper-ligand complexes appear to be promising as a new class of therapeutics, other than the family of copper( ii ) coordination compounds referred to as casiopeínas these compounds have yet to reach the clinic for human use. The pharmaceutical challenges associated with developing copper-based therapeutics will be presented in this article along with a discussion of the potential for high-throughput chemistry, computer-aided drug design, and nanotechnology to address the development of this important class of drug candidates. Copper complexes could define a promising new class of therapeutics, provided that there is a suitable way in which to formulate them for pharmaceutical use.
