Daily treatment of rats with 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB, 1 mg/kg/day i.p.) produces a flaccid neuromuscular weakness first observed in the hindlimbs after 5 to 6 days of treatment. This condition is characterized by diminished contractile strength following single shock and tetanic

[14C] Dithiobiuret (DTB)-derived radioactivity is eliminated by adult male rats with an approximate plasma half-life of 8-10 hr. About 65-75% of an i.p. dose appears in the urine within 24 hr after treatment and about 2-4% appears in the feces

2,4-Dithiobiuret was given i.p. to rats for 4 days at a daily dosage of 1 mg/kg and the development of the lesion associated with neuromuscular dysfunction studied in hindlimb lumbrical muscles. The first morphological indication of neurointoxication was the appearance

Experimental neurology, 85(1), 63-68 (1984-07-01)
Urinary excretion of porphyrin precursors delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG) and total porphyrins was measured during intoxication of rats with 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB), a chemical which produces delayed-onset neuromuscular weakness, in an attempt to ascertain whether or not DTB poisoning
K D Williams et al.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 91(2), 212-221 (1987-11-01)
To evaluate the hypothesis that depressed neuromuscular transmission causes dithiobiuret (DTB)-induced muscle weakness in rats, the temporal development of impaired treadmill performance and deficits in the nerve-elicited muscle contractions were compared during daily treatment with the toxicant (DTB, 1 mg/kg/day
