Drug discovery properties of the isolated compound was involved in pain and fever management. They also play an active role in the suppression of cell proliferation. They have the ability to induce death in lymphoblastic leukemia and other human cancer cells. One of the most common drugs derived from salicylates is aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid, with anti-inflammatory and anti-pyretic properties. Microbes compete for living space and nutrients. To survive in these conditions, many microbes have developed abilities to prevent competing species from proliferating. Microbes are the main source of antimicrobial drugs. Streptomyces isolates have been such a valuable source of
Technetium (99mTc) medronic acid Technetium (99mTc) medronic acid Technetium (Tc) medronic acid (MDP) is a pharmaceutical product used in nuclear medicine to localize bone metastases as well as other diseases that can alter the natural turn-over in the bone by bone scintigraphy. The drug is a complex of medronic acid, the simplest bisphosphonate, with technetium-99m (Tc), a radionuclide that emits gamma rays. The exact structure of the complex is not known. Tc-MDP must be prepared in a radiopharmacy. It is usually supplied as a "cold kit" to which radioactive Tc from a generator is added. Kit composition may vary between suppliers, but contents typically
