Seven new platinum(II) complexes (1-7) of triethylphosphine (EtP) and thiones (L) with general formula, cis-[Pt(EtP)(L)]Cl were prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and NMR (H, C& P) measurements. The analytical and spectroscopic data suggested the formation of the desired complexes. The complexes were tested for in vitro cytotoxicity against four cell lines: Hela (human cervical adenocarcinoma), MCF-7 (human breast carcinoma), A549 (human lung carcinoma), and HTC15 (human colon carcinoma). The anticancer activity values of compounds 1-6 are much better than cisplatin and carboplatin as indicated by their IC values.
