Abstract: Complexation is a powerful therapeutic as well as a pharmaceutical tool. Many categories of medications contain complexes which aid in the solubilization and stabilization of the drugs they contain. Some also contain complexes which are useful for treating poisonings, increasing pharmacological activity, improving drug distribution, and enhancing bioavailability. In this article, we limit our discussion to organic molecular complexes.
