In vitro antiproliferative effects, toxicity profiles in vivo in mice and antitumour activity in tumour-bearing mice of five organotin compounds.

The in vitro antiproliferative effects, the toxicity profiles in vivo in mice and the antitumour activity in tumour-bearing mice were screened for five recently synthesized organotin compounds: triphenyltin 5-sulfosalicylate (1), triphenyltin 5-aminosalicylate (2), triphenyltin 4-fluorobenzoate (3), tri-n-butyltin 2,6-difluorobenzoate (4) and di-n-butyltin bis (2,5-dihydroxybenzoate) (5). The in vitro chemosensitivity tests showed that compound...
