Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient functions as a rubefacient by initiating a localized inflammatory response, which is thought to be partly mediated by prostaglandin-like actions. This process leads to vasodilation, thereby increasing blood circulation within the skin and suppressing fibrinolysis.

The Formula
Formulation
Stability
As a hydrochloride salt of a weak base (pKa of 3.03), Thurfylnicotinate HCL is anticipated to exhibit enhanced stability in acidic environments, ideally at a pH below 6.0. Other hydrochloride compounds typically maintain stability within the pH range of 3.0 to 5.7.
Safety
Safety Profile
No specific safety assessments from major regulatory bodies like CIR, SCCS, or FDA are available for Thurfylnicotinate HCL. The ingredient is flagged with high irritancy, and concentrated hydrochloric acid, its salt component, is known to be corrosive and can cause irritation and burns even in dilute forms.
