毒理性
甲基氟代醋酸(MFA)是一种流动液体。MFA是最有效的已知灭鼠剂之一。然而,它存在意外人类中毒的高风险。由于MFA具有极大的毒性,它在第二次世界大战开始时被考虑作为一种潜在的战争剂。人体研究:在摄入极小量后会出现恶心和呕吐。动物研究:在大多数动物中,它是一种致惊厥毒剂,会导致呼吸逐渐抑制。它阻断了酶aconitase,从而抑制了三羧酸循环。这种毒药作用迅速,且没有解毒剂。
IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Methyl fluoroacetate (MFA) is a mobile liquid. MFA is one of the most potent rodenticides known. However, it presents a high risk of accidental human poisoning. Because of MFA great toxicity, it came into consideration at the start of World War II as a potential warfare agent. HUMAN STUDIES: Nausea and vomiting following ingestion of very small amounts. ANIMAL STUDIES: In most animals it is a convulsant poison and causes progressive depression of respiration. It blocks the enzyme aconitase, thereby inhibiting the TCA cycle. This poison is quick-acting and has no antidote.
