Teratogenesis of acetazolamide in the CBA/J and SWV strains of mice. I. Teratology.
SWV mice were totally resistant to the teratogenic and embryolethal actions of acetazolamide. The time of maximal sensitivity to acetazolamide-induced ectrodactyly in the CBA/J strain was the middle of day 10; the dose response at this time was studied. Comparison of the responses of the two strains and reciprocal hybrids indicated that sensitivity is a property of the embryo and is not maternally mediated. SWV mice were also resistant to dichlorphenamide which suggests they may be resistant to many or even all teratogenic carbonic anhydrase inhibitors.
