The photodegradation of methyltins, as environmental pollutants, has scarcely been studied so far because of the shortage of rapid and sensitive speciation methods, even though they have very simple structures. The photodegradation of monomethyltin trichloride (MMT), dimethyltin dichloride (DMT) and
Toxicology in vitro : an international journal published in association with BIBRA, 22(5), 1136-1142 (2008-04-16)
In this study we intended to evaluate the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of trimethyltin chloride (TMT), one of the most widely used organometallic compounds, on liver cells with the rat liver epithelial cell line IAR20. The results showed that TMT
Chemical research in toxicology, 22(9), 1582-1587 (2009-08-07)
In evaluating the cytotoxic effects and the mechanisms of the apoptotic and necrotic actions of trimethyltin chloride (TMT) on human hepatoma G2 (HepG2) cells, the present study focused on the involvement of antiproliferation, DNA damage, cell death, apoptosis-related proteins, and
Neurotoxicity aims to understand how xenobiotics interfere with the function of the nervous system and to unravel their mechanisms of action. Neuronal activity is the primary functional output of the nervous system and deviations from its resting level may indicate
The organotin trimethyltin (TMT) is well known to cause neuronal degeneration in the hippocampal dentate gyrus of mice. The first purpose of the present study was to examine whether the cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor indomethacin could ameliorate neuronal degeneration in the
