Abstract

Butyl nitrite is present in consumer products subject to abuse by inhalation. When inhaled, intense peripheral vasodilation and tachycardia ensue, described by users as a β€˜rush’. When ingested, toxic sequelae include methemogloginemia and hypokinetic anoxia. The median lethal oral dose to rats of this compound is, with 95% confidence, 83 Β± 3.5 mg kg^βˆ’1^.

It is known that sodium nitrite and dimethylamine are toxic compounds, which may react to form dimethylnitrosamine in the gastro-intestinal tract, a much more toxic compound and a powerful cancerogen. The aim of the present work is the investigation of toxicity in young rats, caused by daily intake
