Abstract
and in animal models, only a few ruthenium-based drugs have entered clinical trials in recent years. Meanwhile, many other molecules with comparable or even greater anticancer potential have not advanced beyond the laboratory stage. In this review, we will revisit the mechanisms of action and anticancer activities of established platinum-based drugs and explore their use in recent clinical trials. Additionally, we will examine the development of potential new metal-based drugs that could one day contribute to cancer treatment worldwide.
