The effects of a number of Pt(II, Pd(II) and Rh(I) complexes against cultures of Escherichia coli (strains B, H10178, uvra-, recA-) and cultures of mice LS Fibroblasts were tested. Most of the compounds showed higher cytotoxic activity than the cis-Pt(NH3)2Cl2, the compound at present on clinical trial as antittumour drug. A new model of active compound is proposed.
