Abstract
This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the supramolecular organisation and hierarchical self-assembly of organo-functionalised hybrid polyoxometalates (hereafter referred to as hybrid POMs), and their emerging role as multi-functional building blocks in the construction of new nanomaterials. Polyoxometalates have long been studied as a fascinating outgrowth of traditional metal-oxide chemistry, where the unusual position they occupy between individual metal oxoanions and solid-state bulk oxides imbues them with a range of attractive properties (e.g. solubility, high structural modularity and tuneable properties/reactivity). Specifically, the capacity for POMs to be covalently coupled to an effectively limitless range of organic moieties has opened exciting new avenues in their rational design, while the combination of distinct organic and inorganic components facilitates the formation of complex molecular architectures and the emergence of new, unique functionalities. Here, we present a detailed discussion of the design opportunities afforded by hybrid POMs, where fine control over their size, topology and their covalent and non-covalent interactions with a range of other species and/or substrates makes them ideal building blocks in the assembly of a broad range of supramolecular hybrid nanomaterials. We review both direct self-assembly approaches (encompassing both solution and solid-state approaches) and the non-covalent interactions of hybrid POMs with a range of suitable substrates (including cavitands, carbon nanotubes and biological systems), while giving key consideration to the underlying driving forces in each case. Ultimately, this review aims to demonstrate the enormous potential that the rational assembly of hybrid POM clusters shows for the development of next-generation nanomaterials with applications in areas as diverse as catalysis, energy-storage and molecular biology, while providing our perspective on where the next major developments in the field may emerge.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are an emerging class of inorganic metal oxides, which over the last decades demonstrated promising biological activities by the virtue of their great diversity in structures and properties. They possess high potential for the inhibition of various tumor types; however, their unspecific interactions with biomolecules and toxicity impede their clinical usage. The current focus of the field of biologically active POMs lies on organically functionalized and POM-based nanocomposite structures as these hybrids show enhanced anticancer activity and significantly reduced toxicity towards normal cells in comparison to unmodified POMs. Although the antitumor activity of POMs is well documented, their mechanisms of action are still not well understood. In this Review, an overview is given of the cytotoxic effects of POMs with a special focus on POM-based hybrid and nanocomposite structures. Furthermore, we aim to provide proposed mode of actions and to identify molecular targets. POMs are expected to develop into the next generation of anticancer drugs that selectively target cancer cells while sparing healthy cells.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are, mostly anionic, metal oxide compounds that span a wide range of tunable physical and chemical features rendering them very interesting for biological purposes, an continuously emerging but little explored field. Due to their biological and biochemical effects, including antitumor, -viral and -bacterial properties, POMs and POM-based systems are considered as promising future metallodrugs. In this article, we focus on the antibacterial activity of POMs and their therapeutic potential in the battle against bacteria and their increasing resistance against pharmaceuticals. Recent advances in the synthesis of POMs are highlighted, with emphasis on the development and properties of biologically active POM-based hybrid and nanocomposite structures. By analysing the antibacterial activity and structure of POMs, putative mode of actions are provided, including potential targets for POM-protein interactions, and a structure-activity-relationship was established for a series of POMs against two bacteria, namely Helicobacter pylori and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Abstract
Two polyoxometalates (POMs), synthesized through a self-assembling method, were used in the treatment of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. One of these nanocompounds [tris(vanadyl)-substituted tungsto-antimonate(III)-anions—POM1] was previously described in the literature, whereas the second [tris-butyltin-21-tungsto-9-antimonate(III)-anions—POM2], was prepared by us based on our original formula. In rats with STZ-induced diabetes treated with POMs (up to a cumulative dose of 4 mg/kg bodyweight at the end of the treatments), statistically significant reduced levels of blood glucose were measured after 3 weeks, as compared with the diabetic control groups (DCGs). Ultrastructural analysis of pancreatic β-cells (including the mean diameter of secretory vesicles and of their insulin granules) in the treated diabetic rats proved the POMs contribute to limitation of cellular degeneration triggered by STZ, as well as to the presence of increased amounts of insulin-containing vesicles as compared with the DCG. The two POMs also showed hepatoprotective properties when ultrastructural aspects of hepatocytes in the experimental groups of rats were studied. Based on our in vivo studies, we concluded that the two POMs tested achieved hypoglycemiant effects by preventing STZ-triggered apoptosis of pancreatic β-cells and stimulation of insulin synthesis.

Abstract
Free and nanosized starch and lipid encapsulated Na5[PMo10V2O40]·nH2O complexes (abbreviated as PMoV, SEP and LEP, respectively) have been prepared and structurally characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images. The results show that the PMoV retains its parent structure after encapsulation by starch and lipid nanoparticles. The in vitro antitumor activity of PMoV in its free and nano-encapsulated forms was investigated using the 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay that was carried out on two types of human cancer cells, MCF-7 (breast cancer cells) and HEK-293 (Human Embryonic Kidney). The results represent the enhancement of cell penetration and antitumor activity of PMoV due to its encapsulation in starch or lipid nanoparticles. However, this observed enhancement for the lipid relative to the starch nanocapsule can be attributed to its smaller size. In order to investigate the molecular nature of antitumor activity, the binding properties of PMoV with calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) were also comprehensively evaluated using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence quenching and fluorescence Scatchard plots. The results rule out the intercalating binding mode and propose the groove or outside stacking binding for PMoV. However, a biphasic binding behavior that is due to the change in the binding mode was observed by varying of [PMoV]/[ctDNA] mole ratio. The results of cell culture assay and DNA binding experiments represent that the rate of cell penetration is more important than DNA binding affinity in the antitumor activity for POM.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) have shown encouraging antitumor activity. However, their cytotoxicity in normal cells and unspecific interactions with biomolecules are two major obstacles that impede the practical applications of POMs in clinical cancer treatment. Derivatization of POMs with more biocompatible organic ligands is expected to cause a synergetic effect and achieve improved bioactivity and biospecificity. Herein, the synthesis of an amphiphilic organic-inorganic hybrid is reported by grafting a long-chain organoalkoxysilane lipid onto a POM. The amphiphilic POM hybrid could spontaneously assemble into the vesicles and exhibits enhanced antitumor activity for human colorectal cancer cell lines (HT29) compared to that of parent POMs. This detailed study reveals that the amphiphilic nature of POM hybrids enables the as-formed vesicles to easily bind to the cell membranes and then be uptaken by the cells, thus leading to a substantial increase in antitumor activity. Such prominent antitumor action is mostly accomplished via cell apoptosis, which ultimately results in cell death. Our finding demonstrates that novel POM hybrids-based drugs with increased bioactivity could be obtained by decorating POMs with selective organic ligands.

Abstract
Cs2K4Na[SiW9Nb3O40] has broad antiviral ability including anti-Influenza A, -Influenza B, -HSV-1, -HSV-2, -HIV-1, and -HBV. A series of antivirus and/or biochemical experiments and X-ray nanotomography analysis confirm that this kind of broad-spectrum antiviral property is mainly due to its localization on the cell surface.

Abstract
The carrier properties of carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and trimethyl chitosan (TMC) in combination with polyoxometalates (POMs) as inorganic drug prototypes are compared with respect to the influence of polymer matrix charge and structure on the emerging composites. A direct crosslinking approach with TMC and K(6)H(2)[CoW(11)TiO(40)]·13H(2)O ({CoW(11)TiO(40)}) as a representative anticancer POM affords nanocomposites with a size range of 50-90nm. The obtained POM-chitosan composites are characterized with a wide range of analytical methods, and POM encapsulation into positively charged TMC brings forward different nanocomposite morphologies and properties than CMC as a carrier material. Furthermore, uptake of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) labeled POM-CMC and POM-TMC by HeLa cells was monitored, and the influence of chlorpromazine (CP) as inhibitor of the clathrin mediated pathway revealed different cellular uptake behavior of composites and pristine carriers. TMC/{CoW(11)TiO(40)} nanocomposites are taken up by HeLa cells after short incubation times around 30 min at low concentrations. The anticancer activity of pristine {CoW(11)TiO(40)} and its TMC-nanocomposites was investigated in vitro with MTT assays and compared to a reference POM.

Abstract
Polyoxometalate/carboxymethyl chitosan nanocomposites with an average diameter of 130 nm are synthesized and labeled with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) for a combined drug-carrier and cellular-monitoring approach. [Eu(β(2) -SiW(11) O(39) )(2) ](13-) /CMC nanospheres as a representative example do not display cytotoxicity for POM concentrations up to 2 mg mL(-1) . Cellular uptake of fluoresecently labelled {EuSiW(11) O(39) }/FITC-CMC nanoparticles is monitored with confocal laser scanning microscopy. Nanoparticle uptake occurs after incubation times of around 1 h and no cyctotoxic effects are observed upon prolonged treatment. The preferential location of the POM/CMC nanocomposites in the perinuclear region is furthermore verified with transmission electron microscopy investigations on unlabeled nanoparticles. Therefore, this approach is a promising dual strategy for the safe cellular transfer and monitoring of bioactive POMs.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) are interesting biomedical agents due to their versatile anticancer and antiviral properties, such as remarkable anti-HIV activity. Although POMs are tunable and easily accessible inorganic drug prototypes in principle, their full potential can only be tapped by enhancing their biocompatibility, for example, through organic functionalization. We have therefore investigated the HIV-1 protease inhibition potential of functionalized Keggin- and Dawson-type POMs with organic side chains. Their inhibitory performance was furthermore compared to other POM types, and the buffer dependence of the results is discussed. In addition, chemical shift mapping NMR experiments were performed to exclude POM–substrate interactions. Whereas the introduction of organic side chains into POMs is a promising approach in principle, the influence of secondary effects on the reaction system also merits detailed investigation.

Abstract
A series of novel manganese-substituted mixed-valence rare earth borotungsto-heteropoly blues, Ln2H3[BW9(VI)W2(V)Mn(H2O)O39] x 12H2O (Ln(2), Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu and Gd), as well as their corresponding heteropoly acids (Ln(0)), have been prepared and characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV), infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal (DTA) analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrochemistry. It's shown that the heteropoly blues anion in Ln(2) still retains the alpha-Keggin structure but with a slight distortion as heteropoly acids do, and Mn and W atoms distribute statistically in the whole molecular. At the same time, the cell toxicity and antiviral activity of these rare earth borotungstateheteropoly blues against influenza virus type A and type B in MDCK cells have been investigated using plaque reduction assay. The results elucidated that these complexes exhibit a significantly inhibitory activity and almost no cytotoxicity comparable with those obtained from virazole, and the anti-virus activity depend on the structure of these complexes.
