An investigation of some factors affecting transdermal permeation

, 1985
Factors affecting transdermal permeation were investigated using Differential Thermal Anlaysis (DTA) and in vitro penetration studies of neonatal rat stratum corneum (s.c.), with radiolabelled propanol and hexanol as penetrants. Thermogravimetric Analysis, Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Infrared Spectroscopy were used to provide additional ...
