Multivalent electron active compositions and methods of making and using same

Abstract

The present invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions that include 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. Preferred compounds include Bi(III,V) oxide, Co(II,III) oxide, Cu(I,III) oxide, Fe(II,III) oxide, Mn(II,III) oxide, and Pr(III,IV) oxide, and optionally Ag(I,III) oxide. These compounds may be in a crystalline state having metallic cations of two different valences, or electronic states, in the inorganic crystal. In addition, the invention relates to methods for prevention, management, or treatment of a condition using these compounds or pharmaceutical compositions including the same.
