Abstract:
Sulfenamide TS (N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazolesulfenamide), accelerator of rubber vulcanization, was administered to female rats by gavage at doses of 50, 150, and 450 mg/kg (1%, 3%, and 8% of LD50) during organogenesis. The maternal toxicity of Sulfenamide TS was found at the highest dose of 450 mg/kg. Oral administration of this compound to female rats during organogenesis induced fetotoxic effects at doses of 50 mg/kg and higher. The dose-dependent increase in the frequency of fetuses/ litters with internal hydrocephalus was observed.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla. Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by anesthetizing...
