Abstract

Efflux studies of radio-labelled methylarsonic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) encapsulated in liposomes afford the following permeability values for the two arsenicals: 1.4 x 10(-13) cm s-1 and 4.5 x 10(-11) cm s-1 for MMA and DMA, respectively. These data are compared with the octanol/water partition coefficients which are 7.4 x 10(-3) and 8.4 x 10(-3) for MMA and DMA, respectively.
