An overview of the development of anti-tumor organotin derivatives in selected classes of compounds is presented and discussed. High to very high in vitro activity has been found, sometimes equaling that of doxorubicin. Solubility in water is an important issue, dominating the in vivo testing of compounds with promising in vitro properties. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was increased by the...

Thermodynamic data such as the binding constants are vital parameters describing interactions between exotic trace compounds and biomolecules in biochemical property modeling. In this study, the stability constants of organometallic compound and protein complexes were studied by using capillary electrophoresis coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (CE-ICP-MS), considering it...

The environmental impact of metal complexes such as organotin(IV) compounds is of increasing concern. Genotoxic effects of organotin(IV) compounds (0.01 mug/ml, 0.1 mug/ml or 1.0 mug/ml) were measured using the alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay to measure DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) and the cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN) assay to determine micronucleus formation....

An inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) was used as a detector for gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of organotin compounds. ICP-MS is a highly sensitive detector with detection limits in the pg ng range, as well as enabling calibration by isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). Calibrating using isotopically labeled organotin...

Tin(IV) and organotin(IV) compounds, a deceptively simple area of inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, have been receiving more attention due to the important industrial (Tammy and Georges, 2005) and environmental applications. Nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur donor ligands have been used to enhance the biological activity of organotin derivatives (Mohammad et al., 2004; Jason et al., 2000). Also...

A series of diand tributyltin(IV) carboxylate compounds prepared by reacting the dibutyltin(IV) dichloride and tributyltin(IV) chloride respectively via the organotin(IV) oxide with the respective carboxylic acids have been tested for antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Aspergillus niger in potatoes dextrose agar. The compounds synthesized were mainly characterized with IR and UV...

Mol-ecules of the title compound, [Sn(2)(C(6)H(5))(6)(C(6)H(2)O(4)S)], lie on inversion centres with the central thio-phene ring disordered equally over two orientations. The carboxyl-ate groups are approximately coplanar with the thio-phene ring [dihedral angle = 4.0 (1)°] and the Sn-O bond distance of 2.058 (4) Å is comparable to that in related organotin carboxyl-ates.

Organotin compounds (OTCs) are characterized as having at minimum one covalent bond between carbon and tin atoms, usually denoted by the formula RnSnX4-n (n =1-3, R =aryl or alkyl, X =halogen ion a carboxylate, etc.). There several methods to synthesis organotin compounds, they Grignard Kocheshkov reactions, Wurtz reaction alkylation method. The has two stable state,(II) (IV). Sn(II) forms pyra...

A brief overview of biological activity of organotin compounds is given, with emphasis on activity against plant-feeding arthropods. Plictran miticide, containing cyhexatin (tricyclohexylhydroxystannane), the first product to be fully commercialized for control of plant-feeding mites on a broad range of agricultural crops, is used as a model to indicate the chemistry and potential performance, ...
