Title Respiratory toxicity of triphthazine in animal experiments
Original title Ingalacionnoe vozdejstvie triftazina v uslovijah ėksperimenta na životnyh [in Russian]
Bibliographic information Apr. 1974, No.4, p.27-30. 5 ref.
Abstract The drug triphthazine is a piperazine derivative of phenothiazine. Studies in albino rats have shown that inhalation of 1.5mg/m3 of triphthazine has an effect on the central nervous system. Chronic exposure of the animals to 0.06mg/m3 produces loss of bodyweight, elevated rectal temperature, a fall in leucocyte and erythrocyte levels, slowing of the respiratory rate and a considerable increase in diuresis. On the basis of the results obtained, the authors recommend the adoption of a threshold limit value of 0.01mg/m3.
