The teratogenicity of Diphenyihydantoin Sodium (DPH -

Na) has been investigated on Biomed.is strain mjce,in order

to predict the sensitivity of 'this strain against DPH-Na.

The average body weight of the 2.5 months female mice were

20 to 25 gramThe dosages of 50 rag/kg B.W. or 100 mg/kg B.W

in 0.05% NaOH solution

were used, they were given intraperitoneally.

The pregnant mice were randomly devided into 12

sub groups based on the treatment schedule. Thedrug-were

given three days in their organogenesis period i.e on the

6th to 8th; 9th to llth;.i2tho 14th of gestation day and

a single dose on the 12th day.Fetus examination was carried

out after mice laparotomy on the 18th day of. pregnancy. The

numbers of all living and intact dead fo&tuses with resorption

a.nh foetuses with congenital anomalies were observed

and recorded.Thë weight gain along the pregnancy were also

analised.With statistical analyses (Fisher test) it was

shown that there were significant effect of PR-Na on the

congenital anomalies prevalence compared to the-control

group (p<0.05)-.There were significant effect (Fisher test),

of the administering days on the cleft palate prevalency

that were on the 9th - 11th;. 12th; 12th -.14th of gestation

day (p<0.05).There were also significant effect (Chi square

test)orte medicine on the resorption and intrauterine

deaths of all the groups (p<0..05).The effect of DPH-Na on.'

the weight gain along the pregnancy was not significant

(Anova two way test).
