NOTES

Female Colworth Wistar Rats weighing 100-120g were used. All animals were lightly anaesthetized during the experiments. After 15min contact the animal was inverted over a 6-inch diameter funnel and the excess of test solution was rinsed off with distilled water at 37oC. % Absorption was calculated from the levels of 14C recovered in the expired air, urine, faeces and the carcass after excision of the treated area of skin.
