Although cisplatin and its analogues have been widely utilized as anticancer metallodrugs
in clinics, their serious side effects and damage to normal tissues cannot be avoided …

Ruthenium complexes are a new generation of metal antitumor drugs that are currently of
great interest in multidisciplinary research. In this review article, we introduce the …

Guanine‐rich sequences of DNA can assemble into tetrastranded structures known as G‐
quadruplexes. It has been suggested that these secondary DNA structures could be …

Ruthenium complexes exhibit a broad variety of biological and biomedical activities
including anticancer efficiency. The reason is that the octahedral bonding of both Ru (II) and …

A series of platinum (II) complexes containing dipyridophenazine (dppz) and C-
deprotonated 2-phenylpyridine (N∧ CH) ligands were prepared and assayed for G …

Cancer ranks among the top causes of mortality on a global scale. The only treatments
available for cancer nowadays are surgery, radiation therapy, and the use of cytotoxic …

The interactions of a series of platinum (II) Schiff base complexes with c‐myc G‐quadruplex
DNA were studied. Complex [PtL1a](1 a; H2L1a= N, N′‐bis (salicylidene)‐4, 5‐methoxy‐1 …

This review examines the existing knowledge about Ru (II)/(III) ion complexes with a
potential application in medicine or pharmacy, which may offer greater potential in cancer …

In this review several types of interactions between metal ions and DNA are given, starting
from basic binding to the use of metal complexes in cancer treatment and diagnostics. Metal …

Inspired by the enormous importance attributed to the structure and function of human
telomeric DNA, we focus our attention on the interaction of [Ru (bpy) 2 (dppz)] 2+ with the …
