<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The interactions of metal complexes with important biomolecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) are responsible for their antitumor activity due to different modes of interaction with DNA and their transport through the blood system to cells and tissues via serum albumin.
