Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
1-methylpyridinium chloride
EC Number:
231-658-9
EC Name:
1-methylpyridinium chloride
Cas Number:
7680-73-1
Molecular formula:
C6H8ClN
IUPAC Name:
1-methylpyridin-1-ium chloride
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in publication): N-methylpyridinium chloride
- Purity: no data

1-methylpyridinium chloride is a hygroscopic crystalline substance. It mixes well with water and alcohol and does not dissolve in organic solvents.
Remark: The publication mentions, that the technical product is a 85% solution in water. However, based on the used wording, it is a highly probable that the material actually tested was the solid substance.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In the publication, the result was given as 2260 ± 285.3 mg/kg

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In some secondary literature the result of this study is given as LD50: 285 mg/kg. However, based on the original publication, it is obvious that this figure refers to the estimated error and not to the LD50 value itself.
