Abstract

Metal based therapy is no new in biomedical research. In early days, the biggest limitation was the inequality among therapeutical and toxicological dosages. Ever since, Barnett Rosenberg discovered cisplatin, a new era has begun to treat cancer with metal complexes. Platinum complexes such as oxaliplatin, cisplatin, and carboplatin, seem to be the foundation of metal/s-based components to challenge malignancies. With advancement in the biomolemoecular mechanism, researchers have started developing non-classical platinum-based complexes, where a different mechanistic approach of the complexes is observed towards the biomolecular target. Till date, larger numbers of metal/s-based complexes were synthesized by overhauling the present structures chemically by substituting the ligand or preparing the whole novel component with improved cytotoxic and safety profiles. Howsoever, due to elevated accentuation upon the therapeutic importance of metal/s-based components, a couple of those agents are at present in clinical trials and several other are in anticipating regulatory endorsement to enter the trial. This literature highlights the detailed heterometallic multinuclear components, primarily focusing on platinum, ruthenium, gold and remarks on possible stability, synergism, mechanistic studies and structure activity relationships.

Keywords: Cancer, platinum, metal complexes, ruthenium, gold, heteronuclearity.
