Metal complexes are extensively used for cancer therapy. The multiple variables available
for tuning (metal, ligand, and metal–ligand interaction) offer unique opportunities for drug …

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and photoactivated chemotherapy (PACT) are therapeutic
techniques based on a photosensitizer (PS) and light. These techniques allow the spatial …

Platinum-based chemotherapy is widely used to treat various cancers. However, exogenous
platinum is likely to cause severe side effects and drug resistance induced by upregulated …

Platinum-based anticancer drugs are among the most widely used antineoplastics in clinical
settings. Their therapeutic applications and outcomes are, however, greatly hampered by …

A new iron (III) complex has been successfully prepared by the reaction of an ONO donor
Schiff base, derived by condensing isoniazid and 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde, with Fe (acac) 3 …

Cancer is a deadly disease associated with abnormal cell growth and invasion to various
parts of the body. Many drugs such as cisplatin and carboplatin have been used for the …

Biogenic metals and their various inorganic, organometallic, and coordination compounds
are comprehensively studied and extensively used in medical practice. Since the biogenic …

Emerging sonodynamic therapy strategies shed light on conquering oxygen dependence
and penetration restriction in photodynamic therapy for non-invasive tumor treatments …

Over the past decade, interest on multitarget anticancer drugs-including heterometallic
compounds-has increased considerably. Heterometallic species display improved efficacy …

In this perspective, we discuss iron-complexes as drug candidates that are promising
alternatives to conventional platinum-based chemotherapies owing to their broad range of …
