The last 50–70 years there has been an increasing interest on organotin compounds mainly because of their industrial, agricultural and biological applications. This review aims to offer a substantial overview of the organotin complexes of beta‐diketones and beta‐diketone derivatives, quinonoids, steroids and NSAIDs describing their structure, coordination mode and properties. Discussion will be focused on the interaction of organotins with endocrine systems and especially on their ability to interfere with sex steroid hormones and relative enzymes as well as with their current status as potential therapeutics for malignancies, inflammations, and infections.
