摘要
The impact of biological chromium's activity may be beneficial or not. This review presents the most relevant chemical aspects of these "two faces" of chromium by covering first, the efforts toward a clearer understanding of the carcinogenic properties of chromium compounds. The biomimetic chemistry of Cr(V) complexes illustrates the interactions of the intermediates formed by Cr(VI) reduction with DNA or oligonucleotides. The importance of trivalent chromium as an essential element is also emphasized by summarizing the recent results of the investigations on trinuclear chromium complexes as models of the cofactor responsible for the insulin activity, as well as good candidates for new nutritional supplements.
