Effects of AS604872 and ritodrine on inhibition of spontaneous uterine contractions in pregnant rats. Anesthetized late-term pregnant rats at gestational days 19–21 were treated with AS604872 or ritodrine either by intravenous route as a 10-min infusion or orally as a single dose. The inhibition of spontaneous uterine contractions is represented in function of the dose of drugs. N = 8 animals per dose and route and drug. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001 vs vehicle-treated group (one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey test).
