About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to provide a contemporary perspective on numerous areas of interest regarding metal-based compounds and their various therapeutic applications. Furthermore, this collection will cover exciting recent advances in the field, including our understanding of the biological mechanism of actions.
In this Research Topic we invite submissions addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
• Synthesis and characterization of metal-based compounds with biological properties (e.g. anticancer, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, antidiabetes, anti-Alzheimer)
• Novel strategies involving metal-based compounds to combat multidrug resistance issues and for the treatment of diseases
• New approaches to enhance therapeutic potential of existing, clinically used metal-based drugs
• Mechanism of actions of metal-based compounds
• Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK), imaging or in vivo studies of metal-based compounds
Keywords: Metal-based compounds, Therapeutic agents, Bioinorganic chemistry, Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (DMPK), Alternative metal-based drugs
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
