Guanidine hydrochloride (1991)


Abstract


Guanidine hydrochloride was severely irritant to rabbit skin. It was of moderate acute oral toxicity in rats and had effects on the central nervous system of laboratory animals treated by the oral and subcutaneous routes. In a limited assay, chromosomal damage was not induced in mammalian cells in culture, but mutagenic activity was demonstrated in yeast.


Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals. They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
