Diorganotin complexes induced morphological changes in the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell line. Giemsa stain of cells incubated with different organotin (IV) complexes concentrations for 48 h. Cell size reduction, rounding and pyknotic nuclei (black arrows), cytoplasm vacuolization (3e, box), chromatin condensation (3d, box), apoptotic bodies (star), cell lysis and necrosis (+). Bar: 20 µm (20x).
