Caption

An antihypertensive drug propranolol hydrochloride is converted into a transparent liquid salt by combining with equimolar amounts of sodium dialkylsulfosuccinate. Propranonol liquid salt penetrated the skin without the need of any addition of solvent. Moreover, the lead salt showed reduced skin toxicity compared to free drug.
