In NTP studies, MBT in corn oil was force fed through a stomach tube to rats and
mice for two years. An increased incidence of tumors in a number of tissues was
seen in rats. No increase in the incidence of tumors was observed in mice. The
strength of the data was evaluated "some", "equivocal", "no" or "inadequate"
evidence of carcinogenicity. Because only a limited response occured, NTP
interpreted these studies as tumor response (e.g.: no effect in mice; some effect in
rats) and other concerns about the conduct of these studies makes it difficult to
clearly assess the significance of the results to those who work with MBT. We
recommend that worker exposure to MBT should be minimized.

Conclusion/Summary
A teratology study in rats with MBT showed negative results. An increase in birth
defects was observed in groups of rats and mice given mercaptobenzothiazole
disulfide by stomach tube, but only at doses that produced adverse effects on
mothers. No effects were observed in the other dose groups. However, an increase
in embryo death and post implantation losses was reported in another study using
rats. Similar results were reported in a fertility study also using rats.
Mice were given MBT at a dosage of 464 mg/kg by subcutaneous injection on days 6
through 15 of gestation. In two strains, increased incidences of fetal malformations
were noted, but only at maternally toxic doses.
