Biological activity studies on organotin(IV)n+ complexes and parent compounds

This review summarized the literature and own data on the parent organotin(IV) compounds and complexes formed with biologically active ligands.

Reduction of total lipids (TL) and significant variations of triglyceride (TG) and phospholipids (PL) were observed as a consequence of exposure of Ciona intestinalis ovaries to TBTCl solutions. In particular, TG decreased and PL increased, which augmented the membrane fluidity and, as a consequence, PL.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
