해양생물들의 부착방지를 위해 선박 또는 어망에 사용되는 유기주석화합물(organotin compounds: OTC)의 하나인 TBT (tributyltin)는 환경적으로 영향을 주는 농도에서 여러 수중 생물의 발생단계와 자어기와 같은 어류의 초기생활사에 영향을 끼치기 쉽다 (Bryan and Gibbs, 1991). 또한, TBT와 함께 사용되는 TPT (triphenlyti)는 수중에서 수산생물의 체내에 빠르게 축적되는 반면에 배출은 천천히 일어난다(Jarvinen et al., 1988). (중략)

유기주석화합물 (organotin compounds; OTC)은 식물성 플랑크톤에서 동물성 플랑크톤으로 또한 어류의 먹이로 전해지는 먹이사슬에 영향을 줌으로써 생물군의 군집 조성을 파괴시켜 생태계의 균형까지 변화시킬 수 있다 (Lederman and Rhee, 1982). 하지만 OTC가 먹이사슬의 하위에 위치하는 플랑크톤에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 관해서는 알려진 바가 많지 않다. (중략)

The concentrations of organotin compounds in fish and shellfish from Guryongpo harbor were analyzed. The concentrations of TBT, DBT and MBT in fish were in the range of $15.68{\sim}52.93\;ng/g$(average 28.65 ng/g), $13.95{\sim}72.16\;ng/g$(average 26.99 ng/g) and $37.73{\sim}133.59\;ng/g$(average 85.18 ng/g), respectively. The BT compound concentrations in intestine of fish were higher than those in muscle. Overall ranges of TBT, DBT and MBT concentrations in shellfish were $42.15{\sim}56.13\;ng/g$(average 50.94 ng/g), $34.16{\sim}52.82\;ng/g$(average 42.79 ng/g) and $41.25-72.60\;ng/g$(average 53.71 ng/g), respectively. The BT compound concentrations of shellfish were higher than those of fish. The concentrations of TPT and DPT in fish were $0.47{\sim}3.90\;ng/g$(average 2.33 ng/g) and $ND{\sim}0.56\;ng/g$(average 0.15 ng/g), but MPT was not detected. The concentrations of TPT, DPT and MPT in shellfish were in the range of $10.24{\sim}21.67\;ng/g$(average 17.45 ng/g), $3.32{\sim}4.78\;ng/g$(average 3.91 ng/g) and $0.11{\sim}0.36\;ng/g$(average 0.25 ng/g), respectively. In addition, the MBT ratio was highest among BT compounds, but the TPT ratio was the highest among PT compounds. Taken together, the concentrations of organotin compounds in fish and shellfish from Guryongpo harbor was not higher than those from other harbors in Korea.

Some alkyl or aryl halides, such as ethyl bromide, butyl chloride, phenyl bromide and benzyl chloride, were reacted by Grignard's method with anhydrous tin tetrachloride in hydrocarbon media. When small amounts of ether were added into the Grignard reaction step, the reaction proceeded rather smoothly and gave good yields of corresponding organotin compounds.

Tributyltin compounds have been increasingly used in the form of plastic stabilizers, catalytic agents, industrial agricultural biocides, antifouling paint, and pesticides. Among these organotin compounds, large amounts of tributyltin(TBT) and triphenyltin(TPT) have been used as antifouling agents because they have a superior ability to prevent marine organism from being encrusted on ship bottoms and in culturing nets. Environmental pollution by these organotin compounds in the aquatic environment were undertaken. The international maritime Organization's established a provisional tolerable daily intake(TDI) of 1.6[micro]g TBTO/kg/ B.W. The Food and Agiculture Organization (of the United Nations)/world Health Organization's (FAO/WHO) proposed a TDI of 0.5ug TPT/kg BW/d. This study is conducted monitoring of TBT on seafoods in Korea and risk assessment for exposure on TBT in seafoods. Total hazard index(using Reference Dose : 0.3 ug TBTO/kg B.W/day) of intake exposure on seafoods is 0.04 as the 50th percentile, 0.08 as the 95th percentile. This value is estimated by Monte-Carlo simulation using Crystal Ball(Decisioneering Co., 2001).

This study was conducted te evaluate the effect of organotin compounds on rotifer(Brachionus plicatilis), which is important as food organism of aqua-cultured fish and shellfish. To evaluate the texicities of tributyltin compounds such as tributyltin chloride (TBTC), tributyltin oxide (TBTO), tributyltin acetate (TBTA) and tributyltin benzoate (TBTB), and triphenyltin compounds such as triphenyltin chloride (TPTC), triphenyltin fluoride (TPTF), triphenyltin hydroxide (TPTB), the survival rates of rotifer exposed to these compounds were measured as the 96 hr-$LC_{50}$. Exposed concentrations Were from 0.5 to 8 bbp depending on compounds. Based on 96 hr-$LC_{50}$ Value, the Order of toxicity in TBTs was TBTA(1.1 ppb)>TBTC (2.0)>TBTB (3.3)>TBTO(5.6), and that in TPTs was TPTF (1.0)$\geq$TPTC(1.1)>TPTH(1.6). Triphenyltin compounds were slightly higher toxic than tributyltins. The toxicity is likely to depend on alkyl or aryl group other than halogen or the other substituted radicals.

Tributyltn, triphenyltin and their degradation products were quantitatively determined in sediments, seawater, and oysters (Crassostrea gigas) collected from Okpo Bay, Korea where a huge shipyard was located. The concentrations of TBT in sediment and oyster were in the range of 5∼2,050 ng/g and 387∼1,190 ng/g (astin on a dry weight basis), respectively. In seawater, it ranged from 19 to 84 ng/ℓ The distribution of TBT compound showed negative gradient from inner to outer bay, which indicates that the shipyard is the point source of TBT contamination in the bay. The contribution of TBT to butyltin concentration in sediment was above 57%. The pattern of TBT distribution was influenced by waterbreak transected the bay. TPhT concentration in oyster ranged from nd (not detected) to 52 ng Sn/g dry wt., whereas that in sediment and seawater was below detection limit. The biological concentration factor (BCF) in oyster was 1.1×10⁴.

The persistent and ubiquitous environmental contaminant, tributyltin chloride (TBT), induces not only imposex in gastropods but also the differentiation of adipocytes in vitro and increases adipose mass in vivo in vertebrates. TBT is a nanomolar affinity ligand for retinoid X receptor (RXR) in the rock shell(Thais clavigera) and for both the RXR and the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor $\gamma(PPAR\gamma)$ in the amphibian (Xenopus laevis), mouse, and human. The molecular mechanisms underlying induction of imposex by TBT have not been clarified, though several hypotheses are proposed. TBT promotes adipogenesis in the murine 3T3-L1 cell model and perturbs key regulators of adipogenesis and lipogenic pathways in vivo primarily through activation of RXR and $PPAR\gamma$. Moreover, in utero exposure to TBT leads to strikingly elevated lipid accumulation in adipose depots, liver, and testis of neonate mice and results in increased adipose mass in adults. In X. laevis, ectopic adipocytes form in and around gonadal tissues following organotin, RXR or $PPAR\gamma$ ligand exposure. TBT represents the first example of an environmental endocrine disrupter that promotes adverse effects from gastropods to mammals.

Corrosion inhibition by synthesised ligand, 2-acetylpyridine 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (HAcETSc) and its tin(IV) complex, dichlorobutyltin(IV) 2-acetylpyridine 4-ethyl-3-thiosemicarbazone ($Sn(HAcETSc)BuCl_2$) on mild steel in 1 M hydrochloric acid (HCl) was studied using weight loss measurement, potentiodynamic polarisation, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The inhibition efficiency increases by increasing the inhibitor concentrations. The polarisation study showed that both synthesised compounds were mixed type inhibitors. The electrochemical impedance study showed that the presence of inhibitors caused the charge transfer resistance to increase as the concentration of inhibitors increased. The adsorption of these compounds on mild steel surface was found to obey Langmuir's adsorption isotherm with the free energy of adsorption ${\Delta}G{^o}_{ads}$ of -3.7 kJ/mol and -7.7 kJ/mol for ligand and complex respectively, indicating physisorption interaction between the inhibitors and 1 M HCl solution.

The free-living nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been adopted as a multicellular biosensor of biological toxicity for alkylphenol, organotin compounds and heavy metals. To adopt as a biosensor, suitability to assess must be fulfilledthrough several criteria; the organism must be sensitive to the testing toxicants, easy to manage in the laboratory and available throughout the year. C. elegans widely used as a simple multicellular organism in developmental biology studies and satisfies all these criteria, and its culture conditions, developmental staging, anatomy and genetic properties are well defined. In addition, researchers can take advantage of the worm's short life cycle, low cost and little individual variation. Moreover, genomic sequencing of C. elegans has recently been completed. With these aspectsof the organism, C. elegans become a more potent model organism for basic and applied bioassays.
