Test animals

Species:
other: rat, mouse and human skin in vitro.
Strain:
other: Fisher 344 rat and C3H mouse skin.
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Fisher rats (~ 250 gm) and C3H mice (~ 25 gm) were aquired from Central Laboratories for Blood Banks, Amserdam, The Netherlands. The animal room was maintained 22 +/- 2 degrees C and 60 +/- 15% relative humidity with a 12 hr light/dark cycle. A standard rodent diet and de-ionized water were supplied ad libitum.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
other: occluded and nonoccluded
Vehicle:
acetone
Duration of exposure:
24 hr
Doses:
636 mM
No. of animals per group:
Three animals served as skin donors per dose point.
Control animals:
yes
Remarks:
for control skin.
Details on study design:
Fresh full-thickness healthy human breast skin was from five female Caucasian patients aged 17 - 41 years. The skin was maintained on ice following removal and transport to the laboratory where it was used within three hours of removal. The skin samples from rodents was used within two hours of removal. Excess subcutaneous tissue was removed fro the skin samples with a scalpel. The skin was placed on a dissecting board and full-thickness skin circles cut out using a circular steel cutter. Mouse skin was used full-thickness while rat and human skin samples were dermtomized. The skin samples were mounted epidermis side up in a flow-through diffusion cell system for the dermal penetration studies.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The skin absorption/penetration of 1,6-Hexanediol Diglycidylether (HDDGE) based on in vitro measurment was approximately 2 to 4-fold less for human breast skin samples compared to rodent skin. In human skin, approximately 20% of the absorbed HDDGE is metabolised, primarily to the mono-diol metabolite.
Executive summary:

1,6 -Hexanediol Diglycidylether (HDDGE) was evaluated for dermal absorption/penetration and metabolism using human, mouse and rat skin samples with diffusion cell in vitro technology and HPLC analysis. The skin absorption/penetration of HDDGE based on in vitro measurment was approximately 2 to 4-fold less for human breast skin samples compared to rodent skin. In human skin, approximately 20% of the absorbed HDDGE is metabolised, primarily to the mono-diol metabolite.
