title: Effect of BN 52021, a platelet activating factor antagonist, on dithranol-induced inflammation.
abstract: The effect of BN 52021, a selective platelet activating factor (PAF) antagonist was studied on dithranol-induced irritant dermatitis. Pretreatment of the skin with 0.45% BN 52021 ointment significantly suppressed the decrease in capillary resistance, rise in skin temperature and increase in skin-fold thickness produced by dithranol.
