Acta neuropathologica, 81(2), 141-147 (1990-01-01)
It has been well established that 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB) intoxication in rats produces a rapidly progressive hindlimb paralysis within days. The cause of this has, until recently, been explained on the basis of a physiological abnormality that involves a prejunctional impairment
J Rosenberg et al.
Molecular pharmacology, 33(6), 611-616 (1988-06-01)
Inhibition of in vitro translation activity by the chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin has been studied. Peptide synthesis was measured in translation assays prepared from guinea pig and rabbit reticulocyte lysates. There is a concentration- and time-dependent inactivation of translation by cisplatin.
J M Spitsbergen et al.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 102(1), 68-79 (1990-01-01)
Treatment of rats for 5 to 6 days with dithiobiuret (DTB, 1 mg/kg/day, ip) causes a flaccid, ascending neuromuscular weakness which is associated with a decreased end-plate potential (EPP) amplitude, quantal content, miniature end-plate potential (MEPP) frequency, and prolongation of

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
