Abstract: The present invention relates to complexed metal salts which comprise ligands and at least one complexing agent for chemically binding noxious substances and/or odor-forming substances, the ligands comprising a hydrophobic carbon skeleton with hydrophilic groups. The complexed metal salt formed with the complexing agent is water-soluble and surface-active. Preferred complexing agents are water-soluble acids or salts of at least bifunctional acids, or also ether carboxylic acids.

Abstract: Solid odor absorbers including a solid carrier with a nanostructured surface and, incorporated therein, active zinc ricinoleate as an odor absorber are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to metal cluster nano-compounds of transition metals, which includes a metal nucleus formed from atoms of at least one transition metal and at least one ligand, and including their physiologically compatible salts, derivatives, isomers, hydrates, metabolites and prodrugs, which are suited for the prophylactic and/or therapeutic (curative) treatment of diseases of the human or animal body, particularly of tumor or cancer diseases. To this end, the inventive compounds can, under physiological conditions, interact with the DNA, preferably B-DNA, of the relevant cells.
