Properties: Crystals from abs ethanol + ethyl acetate, mp 194-195°. Hygroscopic, cakes together, and is converted in significant amounts of 2-aminothiazoline, a transformation that can be detected by a drop in melting point by as much as 30°. The animal organism appears to convert it to 2-mercaptoethylguanidine hydrobromide. LD50 in mice (mg/kg): 100 i.v., 280 s.c., 480 i.p., 1600 orally (Pospisil).

Toxicity data: LD50 in mice (mg/kg): 100 i.v., 280 s.c., 480 i.p., 1600 orally (Pospisil)
Therap-Cat: Radioprotective agent.
