N2 - Polyoxovanadates (POVs) emerge from polyoxometalates (POMs), which are a class of oxoanions of transition metals ions (e.g., Mo, W, V) and have led to a range of catalytical investigations and biological studies in recent years. A series of POVs have endorsed their efficiency as catalysts due to their versatile redox activity (VV, VIV, VIII) in oxidation reactions of organic compounds. The pharmacological action of vanadium compounds has sparked interest as potential candidates for therapeutic applications. Here, we summarized the antibacterial and anticancer activities of POVs. Decavanadate and its derivatives, probably the most studied POV in biology, are highlighted as possible antibacterial and anticancer agents in the near future.
