Cyclometalated Complexes: Promising Metallodrugs in the Battle Against Cancer.

Key Points

Cyclometalated compounds show promise as effective metallodrugs in the fight against cancer.
Research highlights significant antitumor properties of these metal-based compounds, particularly from groups 8, 9, and 10.
The review emphasizes the importance of exploring metal-based therapies, following the success of cisplatin.
Understanding the mechanisms of cyclometalated complex action could lead to advances in cancer treatment.

Abstract

The successful use of cisplatin and its derivatives clearly exemplifies the important role of metal-based compounds in cancer therapy. This review illustrates the antitumor properties of cyclometalated compounds of metals from groups 8, 9, and 10.
