Abstract
Organometallic complexes have garnered attention in the design of metal chemotherapeutics in recent years because of their exceptional stability and distinct characteristics when compared to conventional coordination complexes. Organometallic complexes are perfect for regulating drug release and improving cellular uptake because of their redox potentials, ligand exchange kinetics, and distinctive reactivity profiles. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the antiviral, anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic activities of metal complexes. Numerous complexes possessing intriguing biological characteristics have been created. Significantly, several disorders are treated with specific metal complexes. An overview of the organometallics used in medicine, particularly those with antimicrobial and anti-cancer capabilities, complexes used to treat neurological illnesses, and difficulties encountered in this specific field, have been presented in this work. This review's main goal is to give readers an overview of the noteworthy advancements of organometallics made in each of these many medical specialties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
