Each of the above test compounds was peritoneally administered to C57BL/6 mice (7-week old, male) for three days consecutively (n=6) at a dose of 10 mg/kg, and the peripheral blood cell count was measured 5 days after the beginning of the administration. Table 1 shows the rate of increase (%) with respect to the control group (100%) which were peritoneally administered 10 mg/kg of physiological saline.

Each of the above test compounds was peritoneally administered to C57BL/6 mice (7-week old, male) for three days consecutively (n=6) at doses of 1, 10, 33, and 100 mg/kg, and the peripheral blood cell count was measured 5 days after the beginning of the administration. Tables (Table 2:platelets, Table 3:red blood cells, and Table 4:white blood cells) shows the rate of increase (%) with respect to the control group (100%) which were peritoneally administered 10 mg/kg of physiological saline.
