| Abstract |
Description and results of investigations carried out on rats to assess the toxicity of DMT. The acute oral LD50 was greater than 6,600 mg/kg, and the intraperitoneal LD50 was 3,900 mg/kg. Inhalation studies conducted at 16.5 and 86.4 mg/m3 caused no adverse toxicological effect in rats exposed to 4 h/day for 58 days. DMT was not found to be a primary irritant nor a sensitiser when applied to the skin of guinea pigs. |
