The success of platinum-based anticancer agents has motivated the exploration of novel
metal-based drugs for several decades, whereas problems such as drug-resistance and …

Biological processes are naturally regulated with high spatial and temporal control, as is
perhaps most evident in metazoan embryogenesis. Chemical tools have been extensively …

Nanotechnology has begun to play a remarkable role in various fields of science and
technology. In biomedical applications, nanoparticles have opened new horizons, especially …

This textbook covers the spectrum from basic concepts of photochemistry and photophysics
to selected examples of current applications and research. Clearly structured, the first part of …

Platinum drugs comprise of almost 50% of all currently used anticancer drugs. They are now
widely used in the clinical therapy of various solid tumors, including ovarian, head and neck …

Carbon monoxide is now well-established as a small-molecule biological effector in the
human body. Metal–carbonyl complexes are a promising way to achieve safe and controlled …

Diazido Pt (IV) complexes with a general formula [Pt (N3) 2 (L)(L′)(OR)(OR′)] are a new
generation of anticancer prodrugs designed for use in photoactivated chemotherapy. The …

Over the recent years, several Re (I) organometallic compounds have been shown to be
toxic to various cancer cell lines. However, these compounds lacked sufficient selectivity …

The efficacy and tolerability of systemically administered anticancer agents are limited by
their off-target effects. Precise spatiotemporal control over their cytotoxic activity would allow …

Simple Summary Cancer is among the leading causes of death, and cancer therapy suffers
from many drawbacks, the lack of selectivity being most noteworthy. In this review, we …
