摘要

Pharmaceutical compositions and a method for inhibiting the growth of tumor cells by administering a tumor cell growth-inhibiting amount of a bis[bis (diphenylphosphino)hydrocarbon]-, bis[bis(diethylphsophino) hydrocarbon]-, bis[bis(diphenylphosphine-deithylphosphino) hydrocarbon]gold(I), silver(I) or copper(I) complex or a tris[bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane] dicopper(I) complex to an animal afflicted with said tumor cells.
