Results and discussion
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The test substance is less efficient than diethylether as an anesthetic in animals. It does however have both vasodilator and hypotensor effects. Intraperitoneal doses of 5 mg/kg DME produced reversible anethesia in mice.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
