  • 2-150  95% confidence limits after SNC80 treatment do not overlap with 95% confidence limits after saline treatment.

  • 2-a  The highest dose tested (32.0 mg/kg SNC162) did not decrease rates of responding to ≤50% in one monkey. For analysis, an ED50 value of 32.0 mg/kg was assigned for this monkey.
