Experimental Groups | Latency (s) | Mortality (%) |
---|---|---|
Control (Tween 80 5%) | 109.9 ± 13.0 | 50 |
Diazepam (standard) | 900.0 ± 0.0 a | 0 |
(+)-cis-EC (7) | 900.0 ± 0.0 a | 0 |
(−)-cis-EC (8) | 763.3 ± 69.3 a | 0 |
(+)-trans-EC (9) | 791.1 ± 108.9 a | 0 |

The values represent the mean ± SEM (n = 8 in each group). a p < 0.001 for the epoxycarvone stereoisomers group (300 mg/kg) as compared to the control group (ANOVA One way/Tukey’s test). Fisher’s exact test was used to analyze the mortality rate.
