title: An in vitro investigation of the astringency property of certain anhidrotic solutions.
abstract: Compounds effective in vivo in the rat as anhidrotic wee found to precipitate egg white protein. There was little correlation between the effectiveness of a compound as an antiperspirant and its ability to precipitate protein. Lanthanum chloride was an exception since it was found to be the most effective anhidrotic in the rat and also produced the highest levels of precipitate. The addition of calcium or magnesium chloride increased the quantity of protein precipitated by the anhidrotic solutions, in contrast to their effect in vivo.
