Abstract Two Cu (II)(C1) and Ni (II)(C2) complexes were designed through the one-pot
reaction of pyridine-2, 6-dicarboxylic acid and 2-aminobenzimidazole respectively with …

Metal-based drugs are privileged motifs that act as primary pharmacophores in bioactive
compounds for various diseases, including tuberculosis (TB). This potentially life-threatening …

The urgency of finding novel antibacterial drugs (not only antibiotics), exhibiting different
mechanisms of therapeutic action, is significant and has served as a premise for recognizing …

Tumor metastasis and angiogenesis are the major obstacles in anticancer therapy. A series
of phenanthroline copper (II) complexes with different alkyl chains (CPTn, n= 1, 4, 6, 8) are …

Gallium (III)‐based drugs have gained momentum in cancer therapy due to their iron‐
dependent anticancer activity. Judicious choice of ligands is critical for improved oral …
