That's an interesting point gymrat. I've always thought that the dispersion was more dependent on the base carrier (in otherwords the sesame oil/Bz Alcohol ratio....more oil longer time,more alcohol less time) as well as local factors(blood flow,surface area of injected volume,etc) The longer side chain esters however would be more oil soluble than the shorter ones. The actual cleavage of the ester side chains,I thought,was done once the drug hit the bloodstream,not while in the depot site you inject. Anyone know for sure?
