Abstract
Propylene glycol (PG) in a concentration of 0.5-1.0% inhibits natural cytotoxicity and neutrophil chemiluminescence. This is the first reported effect of PG on defence mechanisms in man. PG is frequently used as a vehicle in high concentrations by the pharmaceutical industry and it would be wise to consider its potential immunosuppressive effects in the evaluation of drug formulations.Entities:
