Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In this review article, the LD50 value in rats after intraperitoneally treatment with dimethylamine-borane was determined to be 50 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

In an acute toxicity study citied in this review article, groups of rats were given a single intraperitoneal dose of dimethylamine-borane. Based on the mortality, an intraperitoneal LD50 of 50 mg/kg bw was determined. The rats showed progressive depression leading to coma and death was apparently respiratory.
