title: The first organoantimony(III) compounds possessing antitumor properties: diphenylantimony(III) derivatives of dithiophosphorus ligands.
abstract: Two organoantimony (III) derivatives, i.e., diphenylantimony diphenyl-dithiophosphinate, Ph2SbS2PPh2, and diphenylantimony diizopropyldithiophosphate, Ph2SbS2P(OPri)2, were shown to exhibit antitumor properties. Both compounds produced strong tumor inhibition effects in mice bearing Ehrlich ascites tumor. Moreover, the dithiophosphate (15 mg/kg, i.p., in days 1, 3 and 5) produced a cure rate of 30%.
