• Octanoic acid, 2,6-dibromo-4-cyanophenyl ester: ACTIVE
• A study with the octanoate ester in rats showed that after an oral dose, uptake was moderate. Peak plasma levels were attained 7 to 10 hours after dosing. Most of the dose was eliminated within 7 days, primarily in the urine.
• Dermal uptake studies in rats show an absorption in 24 hr of 11 to 18 % for the octanoate ester depending on concentration...
