TABLE 5.

Mean (± S.E.M.) potency (ED50, mg/kg) for test drugs to decrease rates of responding by 50% in male and female cynomolgus monkeys trained to discriminate 1.0 or 2.0 g/kg ethanol

The number of monkeys showing dose-dependent decreases in response rate during vehicle tests to the number of monkeys tested is shown in parentheses.

Test Drug 1.0 g/kg Ethanol Training
2.0 g/kg Ethanol Training
Females Males Females Males
Ethanol (0/4) 843 (1/6) (0/4) (0/3)
Pentobarbital 8.52 (1/4) (0/6) (0/4) NC a (1/3)
Midazolam 4.71 (1/4) 4.73 ± 1.75 (3/6) 5.98 ± 2.71 (2/4) 6.89 (1/2)
a

NC, not calculable because the maximum percentage of the baseline response rate is <50%.
