Di-n-Butyl-, Tri-n-Butyl- and Triphenyltin dl-Terebates: Synthesis, Characterization and In Vitro Antitumour Activity

Di-n-butyltin, tri-n-butyltin and triphenyltin terebates were screened against several human tumour cell lines and found comparably or more active than carboplatin, cis-platin, 5-fluorouracil, methotrexate and doxorubicin, some reference compounds used clinically.
