The toxicology and biomedical aspects and applications of organotin compounds are discussed. Factors affecting toxicity are considered first and then the mechanisms of toxicity are described and assessed. A review of the main biomedical applications then follows, covering biochemical, agricultural and other biocidal uses, and recent developments in the field of anticarcinogenesis.
