          compound had pharmacologically useful anti-inflammatory                     
          activity.                                                                   
               (2) Anderson points to two pages of results he testified               
          he recorded in his notebook (Exh. 2051) for SC-60668 and                    
          various other compounds that we assume are not within the                   
          scope of the count.  However, we cannot be sure of the exact                
          make up of the other compounds since we are not told.  We                   
          cannot be sure of the significance of the figures for                       
          percentage inhibition for each tested compound since the                    
          formula used to obtain the figures is not adequately explained              
          (e.g., the meaning of "ave. paw vol. Vehicle" is not                        
          explained).  We note that some of the compounds yield a higher              
          percentage of inhibition than does                                          
          SC-60668 at either .3 or 2 mpk (e.g., 60583 at 3 mpk and Indo               
          at .2 mpk).  We also note that SC-60668 at .3 mpk yields a 4                
          percent inhibition while at 2 mpk the compound yields a 42%                 
          inhibition.  However, we have not been provided with adequate               
          testimony explaining the significance of the performance of                 
          SC-60668 relative to the other compounds tested or the                      
          significance of the dose of SC-60668 required to achieve 41                 
          percent inhibition (e.g., is the dose pharmacologically                     
          practical?).                                                                



                                         37
