MAMMALIAN TOXICOLOGY
Acute toxicity: 1) Acute oral LD50 for rat: >5000 a.i.mg/kg. 2) Acute dermal LD50 for rabbit: >5000 a.i.mg/kg. 3) Inhalation LC50 (4 h) for rat: >2.1 a.i.mg/L. 4) Non-irritating to skin (rabbits). 5) Severe irritant to eye (rabbits). 6) Not a skin sensitiser (guinea pigs).
NOEL: (1 y) for dogs is 188 mg/kg b.w. daily, for rats is 5 mg/kg b.w. daily. Non-oncogenic in 2 y feeding trials in rats and mice at 10 000 mg/kg diet. NOEL for teratogenicity and embryotoxicity in rabbits was 300 mg/kg diet. In 3-generation reproductive study, NOAEL for rats was 50 mg/kg b.w. daily. Non-mutagenic in in vivo test.
ADI (JMPR): 0.5 mg/kg bw [1991]
Classification:
Toxicity class WHO (a.i.): U (Unlikely to present an acute hazard)
US EPA Classification (formulation): IV (Caution - Not acutely toxic)
ECOTOXICOLOGY

Effect on earthworms: moderate low toxicity to earthworms, acute 14 day LC50 for Eisenia foetida is >1000 a.i.mg/kg.
ENVIRONMENTAL FATE
Daminozide's production may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams; it's use as a plant growth regulator will result in its direct release to the environment. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 210-4 mm Hg at 23 deg C indicates daminozide will exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase daminozide will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 32 hours. If released to soil, daminozide is expected to have very high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 4. Daminozide has a pKa of 4.68 suggesting this compound will primarily exist as an anion in moist soils and water surfaces. Volatilization from moist soil is not expected since anions do not volatilize, and volatilization from dry soil surfaces is not expected based on the vapor pressure of this compound. In greenhouse studies, the persistence half-life of daminozide was found to range from 3 to 4 days in four different soils under aerobic conditions. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process because this compound will exist primarily as an anion in water and anions will not volatilize. No measurable hydrolysis of daminozide was noted at pH 5-9, but sensitized photolysis was observed, suggesting that photolysis in sunlit surface waters may occur. An estimated BCF of 3 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low.
Usage: Plant growth regulator reported by J. A. Riddell et al. (Science, 1962, 136, 391). Introduced by Uniroyal Chemical Co., Inc. (now Crompton Corp.) in c. 1965. Patents: US 3240799; US 3334991. Manufacturers: Crompton; Fine; Sannong; Tide. Biochemistry: Interferes with gibberellic acid biosynthesis.
Application: Absorbed by the leaves, with translocation throughout the plant. To produce more compact plants (by inhibition of internodal elongation) of chrysanthemums, azaleas, hydrangeas, poinsettias, and other ornamentals. Applied at 0.106-0.425 kg/ha.
