Chemotherapy is one of the main weapons in the fight against cancer. Until recently the majority of antitumor drugs were organic compounds or natural products including alkylating agents, antibiotics, alkaloids, enzymes and hormones. Inorganic compounds, especially metal-containing compounds, were not systematically investigated since most metals were considered to be potential carcinogens.A crucial event happened in 1969 when Rosenberg et al. discovered that platinum complexes exhibit a~ titumor properties [I]. Following this discovery, an explosion of research occurred in this area. As a first major result, one of the earliest platinum complexes, cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II), cam-[Pt (NH~)* Cl~](I), later known as cisplatin, has passed all the screening
