The maximally attainable level of the non‐plasma protein bound fraction of a single 10.0 μmol/kg i.p. dose of [meso‐1,2‐bis(2,6‐di‐chloro‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylenediamine]sulfatoplatinum(II), a drug active on the murine, hormone‐sensitive MXT‐M‐3.2 breast cancer, lies markedly below the concentration causing a significant cytotoxic effect on a cell line derived from this tumor. This result confirms our opinion that the strong in vivo activity of this drug on hormone‐sensitive breast cancers is mediated by its estrogenic potency by analogy with high dosed steroidal and non‐steroidal estrogens. A specific cytotoxic effect utilizing the estrogen receptor as carrier, as formerly postulated, is unlikely.
