Abstract

The acute toxicity of triphenyl, tributyl and dibutyllead in the rat appears to result from their irritating properties to membranes regardless of their route of administration. A more detailed examination of their oral toxicity has shown that a single dose inhibits gastric emptying with resulting fluid distension. A similar effect was observed with a number of other organolead and organotin compounds. Analysis of gastric fluid from pyloric ligated rats following an oral organolead dose showed increased concentrations of Na^+^ and glucose and decreased concentrations of H^+^ and K^+^. Dilation of the gastic mucosal microcirculation was also observed along with desquamation of surface mucous cells which resulted in shallow erosions of the upper portions of the gastric glands. It is suggested that oral dosing with a number of organoleads and, possibly, organotins has an effect on mucosal membranes that results in erosion of the gastric mucosa and increases permeability of the mucosal microcirculation. This would allow leakage of plasma constituents into interstitial fluid and ultimately the gastric lumen with back‐diffusion of H^+^ into the gastric mucosa. Such a lesion would impair gastric function and reduce normal food and water consumption. The starvation and dehydration may then be the important factors for death that follows oral dosing with organolead and organotin compounds.

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum V

Acute and Chronic Toxicity of Veratrum Viride††The Veratrum viride studied was the whole-powdered drug marketed by Irwin, Neisler & Co. under the name, Vertavis. The work reported herein was supported by a grant from this firm. The batch of powder used in these experiments was stated by the manufacturer to have been assayed biologically by the Craw method on Daphnia magna. One Craw unit of the material studied was stated to be 15.6mg. With regard to this assay, Mr. R. O. Craw has been so kind as to allow us to publish a brief explanation: A reference lot of Yerolrum oirid; powder was set-aside as a standard and a 10% w/v aqueous extract was made of this powder. The average median length of life in 50 assays of 1000 daphnia on immersion in the solution was determined to be 2.22 hours. The daphnia were considered dead when the heart was found to be in systolic standstill on microscopic examination. Succeeding lots of powder were assayed and their potency determined by relating the median length of life of daphnia to 2.22 hours, which is one unit. Twenty assays of 10 animals each were used on each lot of powder.‡‡The authors wish to thank Dr. J. F. A.,McManus of the Department of Pathology for a pathologic report on the tissues, and Mr. James Thomas and Mrs. Bobby E. Teague for technical assistance.
