Abstract: The present review deeply delves the major methods for the synthesis of organotellurium compounds along with their biological significance. Elaboration of various precursors (ligands) including Schiff bases, naphthoquinones, amino acids, β-hydroxy alkylated compounds, β-phenyltelluro alcohols, β-aryltelluro amines, β-aryl-chalcogenium azides, chalcogenobiotin, benzenesulfonamide, carbonic anhydrase, and Sulpha compounds has been briefly described. Furthermore, the article investigates their possible biological uses, specifically as antioxidant and anticancer agents while comparing their effectiveness with their respective ligands and with the standard medications in terms IC50 values. All types of details are haunted to make the information a priceless resource for researchers who wish to probe deeper into and examine the diverse roles that organotellurium complexes play in biological settings.
