The last decade has seen the field of metalla-assemblies moving towards applications. Not only are we still seeing beautiful new two-and threedimensional constructions appearing in the literature at a regular pace, but nowadays we also observe metalla-assemblies with functions. Indeed, metalla-assemblies are being used as micro-reactors, sensors or as molecular flasks, just to name some examples. Nevertheless, another application for metalla-assemblies capable of encapsulating guest molecules is emerging: The ability of some metalla-assemblies to act as water-soluble containers to solubilize and protect guest molecules in biological media has been explored, thus offering new opportunities in the fascinating field of coordination-driven self-assembly.In this chapter, an overview of metalla-assemblies acting as drug carriers is presented. Advantages and limitations of these systems from a biological point of view, and potential perspectives for these systems, is also discussed.
