  • ED50 values are in mg/kg; values in brackets are 95% confidence limits.

  • 2-150  Values for AR-15895AR are significantly different from AR-R 15896AR and AR-R 15035AR (Student’s two-tailed t test). Animals received MES at 60 min after i.p., p.o., and s.c. dosing and 15 min after i.v. administration of compounds.
