Abstract
The overuse of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can be even more difficult to treat and pose an even greater threat to public health. In order to address the issue of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, researchers currently are exploring alternative methods of sterilization that are both effective and sustainable. Polyoxometalates (POMs), as emerging transition metal oxide compounds, exhibit significant potential in various applications due to their remarkable tunable physical and chemical performance, especially in antibacterial fields. They constitute a diverse family of inorganic clusters, characterized by a wide array of composition, structures and charges. Presently, several studies indicated that POM-based composites have garnered extensive attention in the realms of the antibacterial field and may become promising materials for future medical applications. Moreover, this review will focus on exploring the antibacterial properties and mechanisms of different kinds of organic-inorganic hybrid POMs, POM-based composites, films and hydrogels with substantial bioactivity, while POM-based composites have the dual advantages of POMs and other materials. Additionally, the potential antimicrobial mechanisms have also been discussed, mainly encompassing cell wall/membrane disruption, intracellular material leakage, heightened intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, and depletion of glutathione (GSH). These findings open up exciting possibilities for POMs as exemplary materials in the antibacterial arena and expand their prospective applications.

Abstract
Mercury is a well-known heavy metal pollutant of global importance, typically found in effluents (lakes, oceans, and sewage) and released into the atmosphere. It is highly toxic to humans, animals and plants. Therefore, the current challenge is to develop efficient materials and techniques that can be used to remediate mercury pollution in water and the atmosphere, even in low concentrations. The paper aims to review the chitosan-based polymer nanocomposite materials that have been used for the environmental remediation of mercury pollution since they possess multifunctional properties, beneficial for the adsorption of various kinds of pollutants from wastewater and the atmosphere. In addition, these chitosan-based polymer nanocomposites are made of non-toxic materials that are environmentally friendly, highly porous, biocompatible, biodegradable, and recyclable; they have a high number of surface active sites, are earth-abundant, have minimal surface defects, and are metal-free. Advances in the modification of the chitosan, mainly with nanomaterials such as multi-walled carbon nanotube and nanoparticles (Ag, TiO2, S, and ZnO), and its use for mercury uptake by batch adsorption and passive sampler methods are discussed.

Abstract
The increase in bacterial resistance to antibiotics has led researchers to find new compounds or find combinations between different compounds with potential antibacterial action and with the ability to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. Polyoxotungstates (POTs) are inorganic clusters that may fulfill that need, either individually or in combination with antibiotics. Herein, we report the ability of the polyoxotungstates (POTs) with Wells-Dawson P2W18, P2W17, P2W15, and Preyssler P5W30 type structures to differently affect Gram-negative and Gram-positive microorganisms, either susceptible or resistant to antibiotics. The compound P5W30 showed the highest activity against the majority of the tested bacterial strains in comparison with the other tested POTs (P2W15, P2W17 and P2W18) that did not show inhibition zones for the Gram-negative bacteria, A. baumanii I73775, E. coli DSM 1077, E. coli I73194, K. pneumoniae I7092374, and P. aeruginosa C46281). Generally, the results evidenced that Gram-positive bacteria are more susceptible to the POTs tested. The compound P5W30 was the one most active against S. aureus ATCC 6538 and MRSA16, reaching <0.83 mg·mL−1 (100 μM) and 4.96 mg·mL−1 (600 μM), respectively. Moreover, it was verified by NMR spectroscopy that the most promising POT, P5W30, remains intact under all the experimental conditions, after 24 h at 37 °C. This prompted us to further evaluate the anti-quorum sensing activity of P5W30 using the biosensor Chromobacterium violaceum CV026, as well as its antibiofilm activity both individually and in combination with the antibiotic cefoxitin against the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus 16 (MRSA16). P5W30 showed a synergistic antibacterial effect with the antibiotic cefoxitin and chloramphenicol against MRSA16. Moreover, the antibiofilm activity of P5W30 was more pronounced when used individually, in comparison with the combination with the antibiotic cefoxitin. Finally, the antiviral activity of P5W30 was tested using the coliphage Qβ, showing a dose-dependent response. The maximum inactivation was observed at 750 μM (6.23 mg·mL−1). In sum, P5W30 shows anti-quorum sensing and antibiofilm activities besides being a potent antibacterial agent against S. aureus and to exhibit antiviral activities against enteric viruses.

Abstract
As shown in studies conducted in recent decades, polyoxometalates (POMs), as inorganic metal oxides, have promising biological activities, including antitumor, anti-infectious and anti-Alzheimer’s activities, due to their special structures and properties. However, some side effects impede their clinical applications to a certain extent. Compared with unmodified POMs, POM-based inorganic–organic hybrids and POM-based nanocomposite structures show significantly enhanced bioactivity and reduced side effects. In this review, we introduce the biological activities of POMs and their derivatives and highlight the side effects of POMs on normal cells and organisms and their possible mechanisms of action. We then propose a development direction for overcoming their side effects. POMs are expected to constitute a new generation of inorganic metal drugs for the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases, and Alzheimer's disease. Graphical abstract![]()

Abstract
A layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly strategy was developed to prepare multilayered double hydroxide/polyoxometalate shell-coated magnetic nanoparticles. The introduction of functional shells not only offered abundant affinity sites of metal oxide and metal ions but also increased the surface area for the contact with targets. By combining the enrichment strategies of immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography and metal oxide affinity chromatography, the nanomaterial can capture phosphopeptides via a synergistic effect. The method presented a low detection limit of 0.1 fmol in combination with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) analysis. The nanomaterial showed satisfactory selectivity (1:1:5000 M ratio of α-/β-casein/bovine serum albumin), good recovery (92.07%), high adsorption capacity (117.6 mg g-1), and ten times reusability for capturing phosphopeptides.

Abstract
Hospital-acquired infections are a serious threat to the recovery of patients. To prevent such infections, an antibacterial coating is an effective method to eliminate bacterial colonization on healthcare-related surfaces. Herein, we report an antibacterial hydrogel composed of silver-containing polyoxometalate (AgP5W30 POM) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC). The silver ion is encapsulated inside the POM cage and demonstrates long-lasting bacteriostasis after repeated exposure to both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The chemical structure of chitosan derivatives, as well as the concentration and pH, is studied to tune the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. The hydrogel undergoes a gel-sol transition above the critical temperature and possesses self-healing ability. This hydrogel can be readily coated on the surface of versatile bulk materials, which is especially convenient for porous objects and resists the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). In summary, we envision that the AgP5W30-CMC hydrogel has great potential to serve as an antibacterial coating to decrease the prevalence of hospital-acquired infections.

Abstract
Chitosan is a naturally originating product that can be applied in many areas due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxic properties. The broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of chitosan offers great commercial potential for this product. Nevertheless, the antimicrobial activity of chitosan varies, because this activity is associated with its physicochemical characteristics and depends on the type of microorganism. In this review article, the fundamental properties, modes of antimicrobial action, and antimicrobial effects-related factors of chitosan are discussed. We further summarize how microorganisms genetically respond to chitosan. Finally, applications of chitosan-based biomaterials, such as nanoparticles and films, in combination with current clinical antibiotics or antifungal drugs, are also addressed.

Abstract
Nowadays, access to clean water sources worldwide and particularly in Southern Africa is inadequate because of its pollution by organic, inorganic, and microorganism contaminants. A range of conventional water treatment techniques has been used to resolve the problem. However, these methods are currently facing the confronts posed by new emerging contaminants. Therefore, there is a need to develop simple and lower cost-effective water purification methods that use recyclable bio-based natural polymers such as chitosan modified with nanomaterials. These novel functional chitosan-based nanomaterials have been proven to effectively eliminate the different environmental pollutants from wastewater to acceptable levels. This paper aims to present a review of the recent development of functional chitosan modified with carbon nanostructured and inorganic nanoparticles. Their application as biosorbents in fixed-bed continuous flow column adsorption for water purification is also discussed.

Abstract
A new inorganic-organic hybrid compound, [{Cu(phen)2}2(H4W12O40)], was synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined. The Keggin anion H4W12O40 4- was grafted with two coordination units {Cu(phen)2}, forming an electrically neutral molecule. The antibacterial activity of several polyoxometalate compounds with different anionic structures including the new compound was studied. The results show that the compound 1 can inhibit the growth of Enterococcus faecalis FA2 strains and that antibacterial activity of the polyoxometalate compounds is dependent with component elements of POM but is less relative with the anion structures.

Polyoxometalates have long been studied in a variety of biological applications. Interactions between the highly charged POM molecules and biological molecules frequently occur through hydrogen-bonding and electrostatic interactions. Tellurium-centred Anderson-Evans POMs show exceptional promise as crystallization agents, while acidic and metal-substituted POMs may provide interesting alternatives to enzymes in proteomics applications. While POMs also show interesting results in a number of medicinal applications, for example as anti-amyloid agents for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and as anti-tumoral agents, their use is often impeded by their toxicity. Many recent studies have therefore focussed on POM-functionalization to reduce toxicity and increase activity by addition of biological targeting molecules.

Abstract
Upon excitation of their localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) band, gold nanorods (AuNRs) show a characteristic light-to-heat transduction, a useful and versatile property for a range of biomedical applications such as photothermal therapy, drug delivery, optoacoustic imaging and biosensing, among others. Nanoparticle (NP)-mediated photothermal therapy (PTT) rests on the ability of nanomaterials to convert light energy into heat and can currently be considered as a promising method for selectively destroying tumor cells by (photo)-thermoablation. One inherent limitation to NP-mediated PTT is that the nanoparticles must arrive at the site of action to exert their function and this typically involves cellular internalization. Here we report the use of the Keggin-type polyoxometalate (POM) phosphotungstic acid (PTA) as an inorganic gelling agent for the encapsulation of plasmonic gold nanorods (AuNRs) inside a biocompatible and cell-adhesive chitosan hydrogel matrix. These functional sub-micrometric containers are non-cytotoxic and present the ability to adhere to the cytoplasmic membranes of cells avoiding any need for cellular internalization, rendering them as highly efficient thermoablating agents of eukaryotic cells in vitro.

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
A recent study [Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2015, 54, 7391-7394] has shown that horse heart myoglobin (HHM) is selectively hydrolyzed by a range of zirconium(IV)-substituted polyoxometalates (POMs) under mild conditions. In this study, the molecular interactions between the Zr-POM catalysts and HHM are investigated by using a range of complementary techniques, including circular dichroism (CD), UV/Vis spectroscopy, tryptophan fluorescence spectroscopy, and 1 H and 31 P NMR spectroscopy. A tryptophan fluorescence quenching study reveals that, among all examined Zr-POMs, the most reactive POM, 2:2 ZrIV -Keggin, exhibits the strongest interaction with HHM. 31 P NMR spectroscopy studies show that this POM dissociates in solution, resulting in the formation of a monomeric 1:1 ZrIV -Keggin structure, which is likely to be a catalytically active species. In the presence of ZrIV -POMs, HHM does not undergo complete denaturation, as evidenced by CD, UV/Vis, tryptophan fluorescence, and 1 H NMR spectroscopy. CD spectroscopy shows a gradual decrease in the α-helical content of HHM upon addition of ZrIV -POMs. The largest effect is observed in the presence of a large ZrIV -Wells-Dawson structure, whereas small ZrIV -Lindqvist POM has the least influence on the decrease in the α-helical content of HHM. In all cases, the Soret band at λ=409 nm is maintained in the presence of all examined Zr-POMs, which indicates that no conformational changes in the protein occur near the heme group.

Abstract
Polyoxometalates (POMs) have become very significant in biomedical research for their structural diversity which renders them highly active against bacterial, viral and cancer diseases. In this study three different POMs were synthesized and nanoassemblies were made with chitosan (CTS), a natural biodegradable polymer with excellent drug carrier properties. The compounds were tested on two isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatases including tissue specific calf intestine alkaline phosphatase (CIAP) and tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). Compound [TeW6O24]6− (TeW6) showed the highest activity (45.4 ± 11.3 nM) among tested compounds against TNAP. Similarly, chitosan-[TeW6O24]6− (CTS-TeW6) was proved to be a potent inhibitor of CIAP with Ki value of 22 ± 7 nM. A comparative study was made to evaluate their cytotoxic potential against HeLa cells. Among all tested compounds, Chitosan-[NaP5W30O110]14− (CTS-P5W30) has showed higher percent cytotoxicity (88 ± 10%) at 10 μM when compared with the standard anticancer drug vincristine (72 ± 7%). The study revealed that selected POMs proved excellent anticancer potential and were equally effective against alkaline phosphatase enzyme, an increased level of which may indicate cancer metastasis.

Abstract
The covalent incorporation of inorganic building blocks into a polymer matrix to obtain stable and robust materials is a widely used concept in the field of organic-inorganic hybrid materials, and encompasses the use of different inorganic systems including (but not limited to) nanoparticles, mono- and polynuclear metal complexes and clusters, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), polyoxometalates (POM), layered inorganic systems, inorganic fibers, and whiskers. In this paper, we will review the use of two particular kinds of structurally well-defined inorganic building blocks, namely transition metals oxoclusters (TMO) and polyoxometalates (POM), to obtain hybrid materials with enhanced functional (e.g., optical, dielectric, magnetic, catalytic) properties.
