LETHALITY OF PENTABORANE-9 IN MAMMALIAN ANIMALS
Abstract
A method of transfer and administration of pentaborane-9 to small animals was described. By use of this procedure, median lethal doses of pentaborane-9 by intraperitoneal and inalation administration to the rat were determined to be 3.7 mg/kg and 0.42 mg/kg respectively. An antravenous median lethal dose to the rabbit of 0.52 mg/kg was estimated. The suggestion was made that pentaborane-9 does not oxidize appreciably prior to inhalation, and was almost quanitatively removed from respired air.
