NOTES

Female Hartley Hairless Guinea Pigs were used. 2 separate dosing sites each 4cm2 were used. 50 mcrl of the dose was applied to each site. After the acetone had evaporated a 6x10cm foam pad with an approximately 3x6cm opening covered with gauze was placed over the dosing sites and was fixed in place with a Vertrap bandage. % absorption was calculated by adding together the amounts recovered in the urine = faeces + carcass + dosed skin. The amount recovered in the urine was not given separately, but the amount recovered in the urine + faeces was: 6.1% The skin was washed 3x with 1% soap solution and 3x with water after 24hours to remove any of the dose remaining on the surface
