Dr. Kibbe continues his research activities associated with Excipients and dosages forms. Most recently he has been examining the Rabbit as a model to evaluate topical absorption. It is a smaller animal than the pig which is the standard for the evaluation of absorption of the API from a topical application and thus easier to use in small laboratories. He and his students tested the absorption of Ketoprofen from extemporaneously compounded gels using formulas commonly thought to promote absorption. The levels reached in the rabbit after administration were below therapeutic levels.
