State the importance of coordination compounds in medicine.
(N/A) In medicine,coordination compounds are used in chelate therapy to treat problems caused by the presence of toxic levels of metals in plants and animals.
For example,an excess of $Cu$ and $Fe$ is removed by chelating agents such as $D$-penicillamine and desferrioxime $B$ through the formation of stable coordination compounds.
$EDTA$ is used in the treatment of $Pb$ poisoning.
Cis-platin and its related compounds are effectively used to inhibit the growth of tumors.

The end point is estimated spectrophotometrically (through light absorption). If '$M$' and '$C$' do not absorb light and only '$L$' absorbs,then the titration plot between absorbed light $(A)$ versus the volume of ligand '$L$' $(V)$ would look like:
