| abstract |
The present invention relates to a method of preventing, treating, or managing a condition of an animal, such as a mammal. The animal is administered with a therapeutically effective amount of at least one electron active compound, or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, that has at least two polyvalent cations, at least one of which has a first valence state and at least one of which has a second different valence state, to prevent, treat, or manage the condition, or a symptom thereof. n A multivalent metal oxide, such as Ag(I,III), Cu(I,III), Pr(III,IV), and Bi(III,V) oxides or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof, may be administered to the animal in an amount and for a period of time which is therapeutically effective to prevent, treat, and/or manage such a condition(s) afflicting the animal. |
