PY - 2015 T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 10e AB - Sodium monofluoroacetate (SMFA) occurs naturally in plants native to Brazil, Australia, and South and West Africa (eg, gifblaar {Dichapetalum cymosum}).11 The highest concentration (8.0 mg/g) is found in the seeds of a South African plant, Dichapetalum braunii.11 In the 1940s, SMFA was released as a rodenticide (CAS No. 62-74-8) and assigned the compound number 1080, which was registered as its trade name. Fluoroacetamide, a similar pesticide, is known as Compound 1081. These compounds are widely effective as poisons against most mammals and some amphibians.26 Both products were banned in the United States in 1972, except to protect sheep and cattle from coyotes. Collars embedded with SMFA are placed around the neck of livestock, the typical point of attack for coyotes.
