title: Molecular sieves in medicine.
abstract: During the last few decades microporous and mesoporous materials have been considered for medical use due to biological properties and stability in biological environment. Zeolites have been investigated as drug carriers, and as adjuvants in anticancer therapy, dietetic supplements or antimicrobial agents. This review gives a brief overview of the major aspects of molecular sieves applications in medicine.
