IDPN (3,3'-iminodipropanenitrile) is a neurotoxin with ototoxic and hepatotoxic effects. It causes irreversible movement disorder. ^{[1] [2] [3]}

Ototoxicity

IDPN has been shown to kill vestibular hair cells, disrupting normal vestibular function, in rats, ^[4] mice, guinea pigs, and frogs. ^[5] In rodents, the loss of vestibular function results in balance-related deficits, including circling behavior, retropulsion, and head bobbing, as well as weight loss. ^[5] Type I hair cells are more sensitive to IDPN toxicity than Type II hair cells. ^[4] No regeneration of vestibular hair cells was observed, thus these effects can be considered to be irreversible. ^[4]

IDPN has also been shown to kill cochlear hair cells, affecting auditory function. ^[6] IDPN-induced hearing loss covered a broad range of frequencies.
