Popis: The acute and subchronic oral toxicities of 4 organotin derivatives were investigated in chickens. The LD50 values oscillated between 200 and 400 mg/kg bw and revealed a moderate or weak toxicity. Subchronic dosing with 2 doses from each compound at 2 and 10 mg/kg bw induced dose-dependent lesions seen at necropsy and histologic examinations. Involution of the thymus and bursa Fabricius, fatty degeneration of the liver, and nephrotic syndromes were the most evident effects. The butyltin derivatives induced more drastic lesions than did the phenyltins.
