4 Drug and Medication Information
4.1 Minimum/Potential Fatal Human Dose

... The body of a laboratory assistant, was discovered by his colleagues in the laboratory, seated on a chair located near a digital computer displaying information about sodium azide. Moreover, a half empty 99% sodium azide flask was found near the corpse. ... The elevated sodium azide concentration found in the gastric sample and the amount of gastric content allowed to conclude that sodium azide intake was more than 6 g which was above the lethal dose, i.e. approximately 1 g. ...

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Indicators and Reagents

Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents. (From Grant and Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed, p301, p499) (See all compounds classified as Indicators and Reagents.)


Vasodilator Agents

Drugs used to cause dilation of the blood vessels. (See all compounds classified as Vasodilator Agents.)


Enzyme Inhibitors

Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction. (See all compounds classified as Enzyme Inhibitors.)


Mutagens

Chemical agents that increase the rate of genetic mutation by interfering with the function of nucleic acids. A clastogen is a specific mutagen that causes breaks in chromosomes. (See all compounds classified as Mutagens.)


5.2 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

... Sodium azide appeared in rat plasma 5 minutes after a single oral dose at 40 mg/kg and ... by 24 hours, no azide could be detected in either blood or peripheral tissues. A small fraction (7.9 ug) of the administered dose was eliminated in rat urine, but no azide was detected in expired air or feces.

When rats were given daily doses of 23 mg/kg sodium azide in their drinking water for 147 days, no azide could be found in their blood.

... For treatment of foot rot /in the bovine hoof/ ... the penetration rate ... of sodium azide /is/ less than 0.05 to 0.24 mm per hr. ... Inclusion of sodium lauryl sulfate in treatments enhanced the penetration rate of ... azide approx 6-fold.

5.3 Metabolism/Metabolites

... Hepatic biotransformation was considered to be the primary route of detoxification based on in vitro data.

5.4 Biological Half-Life

A case of fatal sodium azide poisoning induced by suicidal ingestion was reported. When the patient arrived, her vital signs such as consciousness and blood pressure, were normal. But 25 hours after ingestion, she died from metabolic acidosis, ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) and acute cardiac failure. We detected the azide ion in patient's serum using GCMS method and measured the blood concentration of sodium azide using the GC/NPD method. The half-life period of sodium azide in blood was calculated as about 2.5 hours.

5.5 Mechanism of Action

Sodium azide /is/ an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATPase. ...
