NOTES

Shed snake skin of Elaphe obsoleta (black rat snake) were used. More experimental detail is available from: M. Akazawa, T. Itoh, K. Masaki, BT Nghiem et al Int. J. Pharm. 50:53-60 (1989). A saturated solution of ketoprofen was added. N was between 4 and 5. The lag time was short - between 1 and 3 hours
