| The purpose of this study was to determine the topical dose of methyl nicotinate (Mnic) that optimized skin blood flow for a 30-minute period. Methyl nicotinate is a topical vasodilator used to evaluate the integrity of skin protection compounds. Specifically, this test dose of Mnic was used to evaluate the ability of SERPACWA (Skin Exposure Reduction Paste Against Chemical Warfare Agents), a recently FDA approved topical skin protectant, to provide ... |
