Biological Activity of Metal Complexes

Abstract

Metal complexes play a fundamental role in biological systems and continue to attract sustained interest due to their remarkable potential in therapeutic, diagnostic, and biotechnological applications [1–8]. In recent years, the field of bioinorganic chemistry has advanced rapidly, driven by progress in coordination chemistry, spectroscopy, nanotechnology, and molecular biology [9–22]. These developments have enabled a deeper understanding of how metal ions and complexes interact with biomolecular targets and have opened new avenues for the rational design of metal-based agents for cancer therapy, antimicrobial treatment, imaging, and the study of metal-mediated biochemical processes [23–30].
