Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Maternal toxicity was evident with the high dose. Foetuses were examined on day 20; those in the low-dose group weighted significantly less than controls, while an increased incidence of resorptions was seen in the high-dose group. No treatment-related malformation was observed.
