biostudies-literatureUnknown29(5)Maciel-Flores CEMost diseases that affect human beings across the world are now treated with drugs of organic origin. However, some of these are associated with side effects, toxicity, and resistance phenomena. For the treatment of many illnesses, the development of new molecules with pharmacological potential is now an urgent matter. The biological activities of metal complexes have been reported to have antitumor, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-infective and antiparasitic effects, amongst others. Metal complexes are effective because they possess unique properties. For example, the complex entity possesses the effective biological activity, then the formation of coordination bonds between the metal ions and ligands is controlled, metal ions provide it with extraordinary mechanisms of action becaMolecules (Basel, Switzerland)1066https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10934961biostudies-literatureRecently Reported Biological Activities and Action Targets of Pt(II)- and Cu(II)-Based Complexes.PMC10934961Bivian-Castro EYLozano-Alvarez JAMaciel-Flores CEfalseRecently Reported Biological Activities and Action Targets of Pt(II)- and Cu(II)-Based Complexes.Most diseases that affect human beings across the world are now treated with drugs of organic origin.
