Twenty-eight immature male rabbits were divided into four experimental groups and administered a standard diet containing respectively 0, 15, 75 and 150 ppm of triphenyltin acetate (TPTA) for 70 days. The highest dose group showed a decrease in erythrocyte count, haemoglobin content and packed cell volume. As early as on day 35, leucopenia and lymphopenia were recorded in all treated groups, thereby confirming the well-known immunosuppressive activity of organo-tin compounds. Both total serum protein and albumin levels apparently altered by TPTA treatment. Conversely, there was a dose-dependent increase for both alpha 2-globulin fraction and blood urea nitrogen serum levels, suggesting a possible renal involvement.

Among a variety of metal containing organic compounds, tin derivatives are enjoying an increasing interest and appear to be very promising as potential drug candidates. We studied eight organometallic derivatives, nuclear retinoid X receptor (RXR) ligands and two germanium containing derivates that do not serve as RXR ligands. Tributylgermanium chloride (TBGe) and triphenylgermanium chloride (TPGe) did not inhibit growth of human triple negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells.

Zebrafish developmental toxicity testing is an emerging field, which faces considerable challenges regarding data meta-analysis and the establishment of standardized test protocols. Here, we present an initial correlation study on toxicity of 133 chemicals based on data in the literature to ascertain predictive developmental toxicity endpoints. We found that the physical properties of chemicals (BCF or logP) did not fully predict lethality or developmental outcomes.

Among these, [3-(Diethylphosphono)propionato] triphenyltin (1) and [N-cyclohexylcarbamoyl) glycinato] triphenyltin displayed activities comparable to tri-n-butyltin cinnamate (2) towards both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; the latter compound was the most active among the eleven triorganotin compounds tested, which included cyclopentyldiphenyltin hydroxide (3) and its methacrylate derivative. Applying the more quantitative plate count and optical density tests on compounds 1-3, it was shown that their inhibitory activity ranked in the order 2 > 3 >1.

Triphenyltin acetate (TPTA), a triorganotin compound used in agriculture as a biocide, is immunotoxic in vivo and in vitro. The present study was undertaken to ascertain whether apoptosis might play a role in the TPTA toxicity in vitro. Mouse thymocyte primary cultures were exposed to 0, 4 and 8 micromol/L TPTA; methyl prednisolone (1 micromol/L) was used as a positive control.

The study objectives were to shed light on the types of freshwater organism that are sensitive to triphenyltin acetate (TPT) and to compare the laboratory and microcosm sensitivities of the invertebrate community. The responses of a wide array of freshwater taxa (including invertebrates, phytoplankton and macrophytes) from acute laboratory Single Species Tests (SST) were compared with the concentration-response relationships of aquatic populations in two types of freshwater microcosms. Representatives of several taxonomic groups of invertebrates, and several phytoplankton and vascular plant species proved to be sensitive to TPT, illustrating its diverse modes of toxic action.
