1-(4-Chlorophenyl)silatrane is an extremely toxic[2] organosilicon compound which was developed by M&T Chemicals as a single-dose rodenticide.[1] It was never registered as rodenticide,[2] except for experimental use.[1] 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)silatrane was one of the chemicals studied in the Project Coast.[3][4]
Toxicity
[edit]1-(4-Chlorophenyl)silatrane is a GABA receptor antagonist[5] and it destroys nervous functions in the central nervous system of vertebrates, primarily in the brain and possibly in the brain stem.[6][7][8] It's a rapid acting convulsant, causing convulsions within 1 minute in mice and rats. Death occurred within 5 minutes.[9] It is therefore likely to induce poison shyness.[2] In field trials, it was less effective than zinc phosphide against wild rats.[10]
