Synthesis, Characterization and Antitumour Activities of Di‐n‐Butyl‐ and Dimethyltin D‐(+)‐Camphorates

Abstract

The synthesis and characterization di‐n‐butyl‐ and dimethyltin D‐(+)‐camphorates, respectively compounds 1 and 2, are reported. Compound 1 displays antitumoural activity in vitro , and is more active than cisplatin, 5‐fluorouracil and etoposide against seven tumoural cell lines of human origin, but less active than methotrexate and doxorubucin.
