(A) Comparison of in vivo potency of PMB and EVK-203 in a D-galactosamine-primed murine model of lethal endotoxic shock. Dose-dependent increase in survival in mice challenged with a supralethal (200 ng/animal; 2X LD100) dose of LPS. The difference in dose-dependent survival rates between animals receiving PMB and EVK-203 was statistically significant (p<0.005; Fisher one-tailed exact probability). (B) Time-course (pharmacodynamics) of protection conferred by 8 mg/kg of EVK-203 administered at various times prior to, and following supralethal LPS challenge in a D-galactosamine-primed murine model of lethal endotoxic shock. LPS (200 ng/animal; 2X LD100) was administered at time = 0 h.
