Abstract
The effect of suppository bases on rabbit rectal mucosa was investigated using six triglyceride bases, polyethylene glycol, and a triglyceride base combined with monoglycerides or fatty acids and methyl esters of those acids. Rectal irritation was evaluated and scored according to defined pathological features. "Pure" triglycerides and a triglyceride to which a nonionic surfactant was added caused severe mucosal damage with ulceration and inflammation. Hyperemia was characteristic for irritation by polyethylene glycol suppositories. Mucosal damage by a pure triglyceride combined with monoglycerides or fatty acids and methyl esters of those acids was similar but statistically less pronounced than with all other bases.Entities:
