1
Determination of LD50 of Phenobarbital Lab # 6
2
Outline Phenobarbital: MOA, SE LD 50 Determination of phenobarbital LD50
3
Phenobarbital Barbiturates group Antiepileptic Sedative-hypnotic
4
MOA Potentiates the synaptic inhibition through its action on GABA A receptors
5
SE Sedation Megaloblastic anemia Hypersensitivity reactions Osteomalacia In overdose, it causes coma and respiratory & circulatory failure
6
LD 50 The median lethal dose that kills 50% of animal population
7
Determination of LD50 of Phenobarbital Drugs: –Phenobarbital (2%) Instruments: –Cages. –1 ml syringes Animals: 48 mice
8
LD 50 Calculation Graphical method Arithmetical method (Karber’s method)

Graphical method GroupDose mg/kg Log doseDead% DeadCorrected % Probit 1330 2300 3280 4250 5220 6120 Correction formulas: For the 0% dead=100(0.25/n). For the 100% dead=100 [(n-0.25)/n] where n= number of animals in each group
