Abstract
Summary. 1. Sodium β-mercaptopyruvate (MPA) was found to have a low toxicity when injected in different animals. 2. The compound had no or only weak cholinergic effects. 3. The antidote effect against hydrogen cyanide was low in the rabbit, but in the rat MPA gave protection against about 4 lethal doses of hydrogen cyanide. 4. The difference in the antidote effect of MPA in the rabbit and the rat is briefly discussed.
