N-Butyl benzenesulfonamide (NBBS), a plasticizer used commercially in the polymerization of polyamide compounds, is neurotoxic. Young adult New Zealand white rabbits, inoculated repeatedly with NBBS by the intracisternal or intraperitoneal routes, developed a dose-dependent motor dysfunction characterized by limb splaying

N-butyl benzenesulfonamide (NBBS), one of the sulfonamide plasticizers, induced characteristic effects to Wistar rats after acute repeated exposures (300 mg/kg body weight, ip every 6 h). The signs were pica, staggering gait with hindlimb-paresis and splaying, teeth-grinding, self paw-biting and
