Organotin Polyethers as Biomaterials
Type: Text
Year: 2009, 2009
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Carraher, Charles E., Roner, Michael R.
Description: Organotin polyethers are easily synthesized employing interfacial
polymerization systems involving the reaction of hydroxyl-containing Lewis bases and
organotin halides. A wide variety of organotin-containing polymeric products have been
synthesized including those derived from natural and synthetic polymers such as lignin,
xylan, cellulose, dextran, and poly(vinyl alcohol). Others have been… more

Antiviral Activity of Metal-Containing Polymers—Organotin and Cisplatin-Like Polymers
Type: Text
Year: 2011, 2011
Member of: FAU College Collections
Contributors: Barot, Girish, Carraher, Charles E., Roner, Michael R., Shahi, Kimberly
Description: Polymers containing platinum and to a lesser extent tin, have repeatedly demonstrated antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo against a variety of cell and tumor types. The mechanisms responsible for the antitumor activity include inducing a delay in cell proliferation and sister chromatid exchanges blocking tumor growth. As most DNA and some RNA viruses require, and even induce, infected cells… more

Structural Consideration in Designing Organotin Polyethers to Arrest the Growth of Breast Cancer Cells In Vitro
Type: Text

Contributors: Barot, Girish, Carraher, Charles E., Roner, Michael R., Shahi, Kimberly
Description: The ability to inhibit cancer is inherent in organotin materials yet the structural relationships that regulate/direct this activity remains unknown. We measured antitumor activity using a matched pair of cell lines MDA-MB-231 cells that are estrogen-independent, estrogen receptor negative and MCF-7 cells, a cell line that is estrogen receptor (ER) positive. Those polyethers that contained a O-… more
