Dodecamethylpentasiloxane
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Dodecamethylpentasiloxane is a linear siloxane silicone oil Insecticide. Dodecamethylpentasiloxane acts through a physical mode of insecticidal action, possibly via suffocation/hypoxia pathways. Dodecamethylpentasiloxane exhibits the strongest activity among the tested oils (including silicone oils and essential oils) against bed bugs.

Description
In Vivo
Dodecamethylpentasiloxane (0.02-0.1 mg per bug; Topical; single application) has an LD50 of approximately 0.038 mg per bug (95% CI 0.032-0.043) against adult bed bugs[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
-
Animal Model:Indy (field strain; adult males, unknown age)[2]
-
Dosage:approximately 0.1 mg oil per bug; 0.04 mg oil per bug
-
Administration:Topical application; single application
-
Result:At 0.1 mg per bug, dodecamethylpentasiloxane caused 100% mortality at 3 d after topical application.
Its mean rank score for toxicity among all oils was 83.0.
At 0.04 mg per bug, silicone oil 1 (dodecamethylpentasiloxane) caused 65% mortality.
-
Animal Model:Indy (field strain; adult males and females of mixed ages)[2]
-
Dosage:0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1 mg oil per bug
-
Administration:Topical application; single application
-
Result:The LD50 of silicone oil 1 (100% dodecamethylpentasiloxane) at day 3 was 0.038 mg per bug, with a 95% CI of 0.032-0.043 mg per bug (Table 3).
The abstract separately reported an LD value of 0.036 mg per bug for dodecamethylpentasiloxane.
