title: [Teratogenic effects of 9-hydroxy-ellipticine in mouse embryo].
abstract: Administered to pregnant Mice of Swiss strain, at stages of 9 to 12 days of gestation and at doses of 15 to 50 mg/kg, 9-hydroxy-ellipticine acts as an acute teratogen; it induces in embryos, cleft palate and limb deformities. Histological examination of embryos from mothers treated by a dose of 30 mg/kg at day 10 or 11 revealed defects in the eyes, spinal cord and a reduction in the number of germinal cells.
