The ion having 76 electrons after being oxidized to 3+ oxidation state will have total of 79 electrons in its neutral state. This corresponds to an element with atomic number 79, i.e., gold/Au. Therefore, in the present question the ion being referred is Gold (3+) or Au 3+ and hence the drug being referred is an auric compound. These compounds are extensively used for therapeutic purposes.
