Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In toxic doses administered IP sodium cyanate and thiocyanate produce similar syndromes in mice: tremor, hyper-reactivity and tonic-clonic convulsions. A common pattern of interactions with central nervous system drugs suggests that these anions have similar mechanisms of action. Thiocyanate had highly unpredictable lethal effects. The range of doses which included some deaths and some survivors in each group (at least 10 mice) was 5.1 to 7.9 mmol/kg.
