Organotin(IV) compounds have gained significant interest in both the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. Tin (IV) form stable complexes with a unique structure and physicochemical properties that are used in organic synthesis as heat stabilizers and catalysts, in drug development as biologically active agents and in other areas. This review concentrates on recent progress in the classical and convenient synthesis procedure and biological activities as antitumoral and antimicrobial agents.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
