NOTES:

All LD50's are normalized to milligrams/Kilogram of animal's body weight.

All LD50 data were found in the "The Merck Index, 11th edition".

The "LD50" is the dose of a substance that will kill a selected species of experimental animal 50% of the time.

"Typical Human Dose" info is taken from various sources, including "Burger's Medicinal Chemistry", "Journal of Psychedelic Drugs", "The Merck Manual", "NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances", cigarette packages, No-Doz bottles, etc.

The "Safety Ratio" was fabricated for the purpose of this information file based on notions of relative toxicity expressed in various pharmacology textbooks and in a taped lecture by Andrew Weil MD.

The "Safety Ratio" is based on the dubious assumption that a human has the same LD50 as an experimental animal in relation to body weight. The Typical Human Dose for "recreational" or therapeutic purposes is expressed in milligrams and the number of those doses required to reach the corresponding LD50 for a 50 Kilogram (110 pound) human is computed. The assumption here is that the margin of safety for a drug is proportional to the number of typical doses a person would have to take in order to have a 50% chance of dropping dead were they a giant rodent. According to this reasoning, the higher the "Safety Ratio" is, the less toxic the drug is at normal dosages.

One might well argue that it is of questionable utility to compare toxic responses between various species using different routes of administration. Needless to say, many rodents have died for our sins.

==============================================================

It was later pointed out that what is called above a "safety ratio" is roughly equivalent to the pharmacological measure known as the "Therapeutic Index". The therapeutic index is a measure of the toxicity of a drug relative to it's usual therapeutic dose.

The NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances also lists most published LD50 measurements, but does so uncritically. It's quite useful as a point of reference.
