Their cytotoxic properties in RT112 and RT112 cP (cisplatin-resistant) cell lines as well as in MCF7 and somatic fibroblasts were compared with those of the corresponding nonsteroidal complexes and the noncyclometalated pyridyl complexes as well as with cisplatin as reference. All steroidal compl...
