Demonstration of flufenamic acid in histological sections.
A simple method is described to show the transdermal penetration of flufenamic acid (CAS 530-78-9) into the skin of laboratory animals. After topical application of gels and creams containing flufenamic acid the substance exerts a fluorescent painting in corium and subcutis of histological slides. This effect needs the chemical reaction between the test substance and sulphuric acid in synthetic resin sections.
