      The Antibacterial Activity of Metal Complexes Containing 1,10- phenanthroline: Potential as Alternative Therapeutics in the Era of Antibiotic Resistance.
      TLDR
      In this review, what is currently known about the antibacterial capability of metal-phen complexes and their mechanisms of action is summarized.
      Biological activities of polypyridyl-type ligands: implications for bioinorganic chemistry and light-activated metal complexes.
      TLDR
      The hypothesis that biological effects are governed by the availability of and affinity for specific metal ions within the experimental model is offered.
      DNA‐Targeted Metallodrugs: An Untapped Source of Artificial Gene Editing Technology
      TLDR
      The aim is to provide readers with an insight on the rational design of metal complexes with DNA recognition properties and an understanding of how the sequence‐specific targeting of these interactions can be achieved for gene engineering applications.
      Evaluation of metal-based antimicrobial compounds for the treatment of bacterial pathogens
      TLDR
      The antibacterial activity, mode of action, and potential for systemic use of a number of metal-based antibacterial complexes are discussed and the current limitations of these compounds are highlighted to determine if metal- based agents are a potential solution for the treatment of bacterial infections, especially those resistant to conventional antibiotics.
      Exploring the potential of highly charged Ru(II)- and heteronuclear Ru(II)/Cu(II)-polypyridyl complexes as antimicrobial agents.
      TLDR
      The structural characteristics of polyamine ligands gathered on highly charged Ru(II)-polypyridyl complexes are versatile tools that can be exploited to achieve enhanced antibacterial strategies.
      Metallohelices emulate the properties of short cationic α-helical peptides
      TLDR
      There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that these supramolecular architectures exhibit bioactivity that emulates that of the natural systems, and the context of synthetic advances in the area is reviewed.
      Nitroimidazole-Based Ruthenium(II) Complexes: Playing with Structural Parameters to Design Photostable and Light-Responsive Antibacterial Agents.
      TLDR
      This study may provide a fundamental knowledge on the use of Ru(II)-polypyridyl complexes to incorporate and/or photorelease biologically relevant nitroimidazole derivatives in the design of a novel class of antimicrobials.

      Redesigning Nature: Ruthenium Flavonoid Complexes with Antitumour, Antimicrobial and Cardioprotective Activities
      TLDR
      This review reports on the complexation of both natural and synthetic flavonoids with ruthenium as a strategy to modulate the biological activity in order to assess the feasibility of using them in future clinical applications.
      Ruthenium Complexes in the Fight against Pathogenic Microorganisms. An Extensive Review
      TLDR
      This review will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of Ru (II/III) frameworks as antimicrobial agents, and some aspects regarding the relationship between their chemical structure and mechanism of action, cellular localization, and/or metabolism of the ruthenium complexes in bacterial and eukaryotic cells are discussed.

      TLDR
      A typical non-electrolytic complex salt without salt-forming groups is sought to demonstrate the general applicability of the principle that the activities of enantiomeric ions could be changed to a different extent by the addition of an electrolyte containing an optically active anion or cation.
