Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
water
Doses:
The concentration of a given dose was adjusted so that each animal received not less than 0.2 cc. and not more than 0.6 cc. of a solution
of the drug in distilled water.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
From fifteen to fifty-eight animals were used for each determination. (Not further specified.)
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
Studies on toxicity were made on white mice weighing approximately 20 grams. The intraperitoneal median lethal dose (LD5O) of barbital, phenobarbital, ainytal, pentobarbital, evipal and diphenylhydantoin (the sodium salts were used throughout) were determined. In administering each compound the concentration of a given dose was adjusted so that each animal received not less than 0.2 cc. and not more than 0.6 cc. of a solution.
