Abstract

Eleven cyanide derivatives were used to stand on molluscicidal effects against Theba pisana. Acetone cyanohydrin and acetophenone cyanohydrin were prepared. Acetonitrile was too weak to cause 50 % mortality at the highest concentration for 10 days. Ethylcyanoacetic acid ester was more effective than acetonitrile. 100 % mortality of the population at 0.1 % after 4 and 7 days, respectively was achieved with < 2 days LT50 values at all concentrations except at 0.5 %, the second exhibited 4.2 day LT50 value. Lethal effects of the inorganic cyanides were differed according to their structure, concentration and exposure time. Although cuprous thiocyanate (CuSCN) showed weak molluscicidal activity with mortality (23.8 %), it appeared more effective than potassium ferrocyanide and potassium ferricyanide. Potassium thiocyanate showed low toxicity against the treated snail. Mercuric cyanide [Hg(CN)2] exceeded the other inorganic derivatives except potassium cyanide and sodium cyanide that were the most active compounds with non significance between each other.
