Tin-Based Antitumor Drugs

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASEN2,volume 26))

Abstract

An overview is given of the results of the in vitro screening against MCF-7, a mammary tumor, and WiDr, a colon carcinoma, of several series of organotin compounds: diorganotin pyridinedicarboxylates, bis(salicylato)tetraorgano-distannoxanes, diorganotin and triorganotin benzoates.

Many di-and triorganotin compounds exhibit very promising in vitro antitumor activities: di-n-butyltin 2, 6-difluorobenzoate and triphenyltin salicylates are characterized by ID50 values comparable to that of mitomycin C.
