Recent advances on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, NSAIDs: Organotin complexes of NSAIDs

An overview is given of the results of organotin-NSAIDs interactions. Several organotin complexes with NSAIDs, derivatives of the carboxylic acid family and oxicam family, have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography at the University of Ioannina. Results concerning the biological activity of these organotin complexes will be referred. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
