“…The structural chemistry of phosphorus-based organo tin(IV) derivatives is influenced by the number and nature of organic groups bonded to tin and phosphorus atoms, as well as the type of donor atom (O, S, Se) [7]. Recently, we have reported the preparation of a new ambidentate phosphorothioate ligand, containing a bioactive group, Na[OSPR'R"], [R'= O-Phenyl, R"= O-cholesteryl] [8], that was used for the synthesis of four organometallic tin (IV) (2-5) [9]. In this paper, we report the results of the bioassay of compounds (1)(2)(3)(4)(5), showing that they posses potent antitumor activities against KB (nasopharyngel carcinoma), OVCAR-5 (ovarium carcinoma) and SQC-1 UISO (squamous cell cervix carcinoma).…”
