title: Triorganotin compounds as antimicrobial agents.
abstract: Six triorganotin derivatives of thiolupinine(1-mercaptolupinane), 2-mercaptobenzoxazole and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole were prepared and tested against several bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Most compounds exhibited high activity against the tested microorganisms and particularly worth noting was the activity of triethyltin lupinylsulfide on Gram-negative strains. Triethylgermanium lupinylsulfide was also prepared but was devoid of action on the whole set of tested microorganisms.
