The application of coordination chemistry in the light of nanotechnology is a rapidly developing research field in medicine. Bismuth complexes have been widely and willingly used in biomedicine with satisfactory therapeutic effects, mostly in Helicobacter pylori eradication, but also as potential anti-microbial and anti-leishmanial agents. Additionally, in recent years, an application of bismuth-based compounds as potent anticancer drugs has also been studied extensively. Therefore, in this review, we want to highlight a number current problems connected with: (1) characterization of bismuth complexes based on thiosemicarbazone, hydrazone, and dithiocarbamate classes of ligands as potential chemotherapeutics, (2) pioneering research on application of bismuth-based nanoparticles and nanodots for radiosensitization, and (3) research challenges in using bismuth radionuclides in targeted radioimmunotherapy.
