2021, Inorganic Chemistry CommunicationsCitation Excerpt :Because of their superior pharmacological properties and stereochemical binding modes, the synthesis of transition metal complexes using thiosemicarbazones has gotten a lot of publicity.Several metal ions enrich and alter the biological properties of thiosemicarbazones. Thiosemicarbazones and their transition metal complexes have been found to have a diverse range of functions such as anticancer [7] anti-HIV [8], antitubercular [9], antiviral [10], antitumor [11], antiprotozoal [12], anticonvulsant [13], antimalarial [14], antifungal [15], and antibacterial [16]. Transition metal ions are mostly used in organic synthesis and biological activities [17].

2021, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The use of metals in medicine has gained significant attention owing to the incredible versatility that can be achieved by differences in oxidation state, coordination number, geometries, electronic properties and stability. Each of these can be adjusted and modified by selecting the appropriate ligands and using various synthetic methods, allowing for an incredible variety of possibilities in design [7-21]. More recently, there has been a surge of research into metal complexes of drugs that have already been used in treatments and their direct repurposing or derivatisation for other therapies [22-30].
Heteroleptic N,N-donor pyrazole based Pt(II) and Pd(II) complexes: DNA binding, molecular docking and cytotoxicity studies
2019, Inorganica Chimica ActaCitation Excerpt :The palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes show square planar geometry, similar coordination modes and chemical properties [6]. The palladium and platinum compounds reveal different biological activity such as antitumor, antiviral, antiprotozoal, antifungal and antibacterial activities [7–10]. The palladium(II) complexes are closely related with their platinum(II) analogues due to their structural analogy, but have faster ligands exchange (104–105 times faster than corresponding Pt(II) analogous) ability [11–13].
