Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
open
Vehicle:
ethanol
Duration of exposure:
72 h
Doses:
- Actual doses: 50, 100, 200 and 800 mg/kg bw
- Dose volume: 50 µL of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg bw and 30 µL of 800 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per group:
Four
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
DOSE FORMULATION: 2 to 17 µCi radiolabel, an appropriate amount of unlabelled LDEA and 95 % ethanol for a total volume of about 50 µL per dose


VEHICLE
- Concentration (if solution): 95%


TEST SITE
- Preparation of test site: Application site had been clipped of hair the previous day
- Area of exposure: 1 x 1 inch
- Type of cover / wrap if used: A non-occlusive protective appliance, glued over the dose area with cyanoacrylate adhesive.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE: No



SAMPLE COLLECTION: Dose site skin was excised and thoroughly rinsed with ethanol, then gently wiped with cotton gauzes soaked with soapy water. Gauzes and aliquots of urine, dermal rinse solutions, feces, tissues (liver and kidney) and digested skin samples (in 2N ethanolic sodium hydroxide) were collected and analysed for radiochemical content by adding to vials containing scintillation cocktail (Ultima Gold, Packard Instrument Company).


ANALYSIS
- Method type(s) for identification: Liquid scintillation counting

Not applicable

Results and discussion

Signs and symptoms of toxicity:
not examined
Dermal irritation:
not examined
Absorption in different matrices:
- In 72 h of exposure, 50 to 70% of the applied doses were absorbed, and there were no statistically significant differences in absorbance across the range of doses.
- The disposition of LDEA in the tissues was approximately the same for the four dose levels. (For details see Table 1 in the attached document).

Total recovery:
- No significant differences in total recovery were observed for the four dose levels (approx. 91, 85, 88 and 85% at 50, 100, 200 and 800 mg/kg bw respectively). For details see Table 1 in the attached document.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The study indicates 50 to 70 % of the applied doses were absorbed, and there were no statistically significant differences in absorption across the range of doses. The disposition of the test substance in the tissues was also similar for the four dose levels.
Executive summary:

A dermal absorption study was conducted to evaluate the absorption of the radiolabelled (14C) lauramide diethanolamine (LDEA) in the B6C3F1 mice.

50 µL of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg bw and 30 µL of 800 mg/kg bw of LDEA was applied to an area of 1x1 inch previously clipped skin, covered with a non-occlusive patch. After 72 h of exposure, gauzes and aliquots of urine, faeces, dermal rinse solutions and digested skin samples (in 2N ethanolic sodium hydroxide) were collected and analysed for radiochemical content.

After 72 h of exposure, 50 to 70 % of the applied doses were absorbed, and there were no statistically significant differences in absorption across the range of doses. The disposition of LDEA in the tissues was also similar across the four dose levels of 50, 100, 200 and 800 mg/kg bw.

The study indicates 50 to 70 % of the applied doses were absorbed, and there were no statistically significant differences in absorption across the range of doses. The disposition of the test substance in the tissues was also similar for the four dose levels.
