Abstract
Dithranol (anthralin) inflammation of forearm skin was completely inhibited by various scavengers of free radicals of the oxygen species. It is concluded that dithranol inflammation is initiated by formation of free radicals; these may act through lipid peroxidation and production of inflammatory endoperoxides or by a more direct mechanism.Entities:
