1. The applicability of organic esters as solvents for water-insoluble preparations administered parenterally has been tested.
2. Twenty-five liquid organic esters have been systematically examined for systemic toxicity, local irritation and the action upon neuromuscular functions when injected into the gluteal muscles of guinea-pigs.
3. Butyl succinate and ethyl pimelate proved least toxic and were suitable for parenteral use.
