Polyoxometalates in Biomedicine: Update and Overview.

CONCLUSIONS: Although a wide range of biological activities of polyoxometalates was reported, they are not close to clinical trials and the final application in the treatment of diabetes, infectious and malignant diseases. Accordingly, further studies should be directed towards delighting the mechanism of polyoxometalate biological actions, which would enable fine-tuning at the molecular level, and consequently efficient action towards biological targets and as low toxicity as possible. Furthermore, biomedical studies should be performed on solution-stable compounds under physiological conditions and concentrations employed. PMID: 31453779 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
