Imidazole-Based Metal Complex Derivatives: A Comprehensive Overview of Synthesis and Biological Applications.
Review in Medicinal chemistry (Shariqah (United Arab Emirates)), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The imidazole scaffold is a cornerstone in medicinal chemistry, widely recognized for its extensive range of biological activities and ability to form stable metal complexes. This review article provides a detailed overview of recent advancements in synthesizing, characterization, and biological evaluation of metal-complexed imidazole derivatives. We explored various synthetic strategies to create diverse metal-based imidazole complexes, emphasizing innovations that enhance efficiency and yield. Furthermore, we delve into the biological profiling of imidazole derivatives, summarizing key findings from studies investigating their antimicrobial, antifungal, anticancer, and other therapeutic properties. Special attention is given to metal coordination's role in modulating these compounds' biological activity. The review discusses the synthesis of imidazolemetal complexes, illustrating how metal ions such as copper, zinc, and iron enhance the pharmacological profiles of imidazole derivatives. Thus, the data from numerous studies was collated and analyzed to comprehensively understand the current landscape and future prospects in imidazole chemistry associated with metals. It is a valuable resource for researchers, guiding future investigations and fostering the development of novel metal-based imidazole therapeutics.
