Fate
In plants, phosfolan is metabolized at the nitrogen-phosphorus bond to less toxic, water-soluble compounds. In animals: In mammals, phosfolan is metabolized at the nitrogen-phosphorus bond to less toxic, water-soluble compounds.
Toxicology
Mammals: Acute oral LD50 for male rats 8.9, male mice 12.1 mg/kg. Acute percutaneous LD50 for male rabbits 23, male guinea pigs 54 mg/kg. In 90-day feeding trials, dogs receiving 1 mg/kg/day showed no ill-effects.
