Value of LD50 is a basic toxicological characteristic for a toxic compound. It can be concluded from the results presented that the class of chemicals studied can be considered as extremely toxic, comparable with others known chemical warfare agents. Rabbits and guinea pigs were more sensitive than mice and rats. The most sensitive to these compounds were dogs. There is no information on toxicity of other V derivatives.
