Abstract
HAPAB Several organotin compounds were investigated for use as insecticides against the sheep blowfly. Based on dermal application of each compound to three mice the following LD50 ratings in mg/kg were suggested: triethyltin chloride, GT 35-40; trimethyltin, approx. 50; hexamethyl di-tin, approx. 50; trimethyl cyanoacetoxy tin, GT 87; trimethyl isothiocyanato tin, GT 30; trimethyl 1-morpholino (thiocarboxyl) thio tin, GT 60; and trimethyl pentachlorophenoxy tin, GT 80. Dermal application to sheep of doses of approximately 25 mg/kg, 2 to 3 times that needed for control, did not result in signs of clinical intoxication immediately after treatment or in the subsequent period of 5-6 wk. 1972
