Organotin polyamines were synthesized from reaction with a series of diaminopyrimidines of diorganotin dichlorides. The products are polymeric. The GI50 and CI50 values were obtained for 10 cell lines including cancer cell lines representing bone, prostrate, breast, colon, and lung cancers. The GI50 were in the same range and lower that the most widely used anticancer drug cisplatin. A number of CI values greater than 2 were found. There are some general correlations and other lack of correlations. For instance, activity appears to be independent of chain length. Presence of a thiol group is positive.
