The biochemistry of organo-tin compounds. Diethyltin dichloride and triethyltin sulphate

Abstract
Diethyltin dichloride and tri-ethyltin sulfate are powerful metabolic poisons and have different modes of action. Diethyltin dichloride, like phenylarsenious acid, inhibits [alpha]-keto acid oxidases. Triethyltin sulfate is a potent inhibitor of the phosphorylation processes associated with oxidation. No other action of triethyltin sulphate has been found.
