Abstract:
Platinum compounds useful in the treatment of cancer are disclosed. Compositions containing these compounds and methods of using the same are also discussed. Compounds having the formula ##STR1## wherein n is 0 or 1 and when n is 1 R. sub. 1 is H or C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl, R is non-substituted higher alkyl or mono or disaccharide or a derivative of a mono or disaccharide,
when n is O, R. sub. 1 is H or C. sub. 1 -C. sub. 4 alkyl, R is H, halogen, non-substituted C. sub. 1 -. sub. 20 alkyl, aryl, arlalkyloxy, mono or disaccharide, or a derivative of a mono or disaccharide,
and R. sub. 2 and R. sub. 3 are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C. sub. 1. sup. -4 alkyl or R. sub. 2 and R. sub. 3 or R. sub. 2 and R. sub. 3 together are linked to adjacent carbon atoms on a four, five or six membered ring structure, or R. sub. 2 and R. sub.
