Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate
EC Number:
247-979-2
EC Name:
2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate
Cas Number:
26761-45-5
Molecular formula:
C13H24O3
IUPAC Name:
(oxiran-2-yl)methyl 2,2-dimethyloctanoate
Test material form:
other: Liquid at room temperature.

Specific details on test material used for the study:
See IUCLID Section 1.2 and 1.4
Radiolabelling:
yes
Remarks:

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Fischer 344
Sex:
male
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Male C3H mice also served as a source of skin. Fisher 344 rats (approximately 250 gm) and male C3H mice (approximately 25 gm) were obtained from the Central Laboratories for the Blood Banks (CLB), Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Animals were kept on a 12 h light/dark cycle in humidity (60±15% relative humidity) and temperature (22±2°C) controlled mass-air-displacement rooms and following an acclimation period of 1 week were used as the source for skin. A standard rodent diet and deionized water were supplied ad libitum. Fresh full thickness healthy human breast skin was obtained from patients undergoing mammoplastic reduction surgery in a regional hospital, MCA, Alkmaar, The Netherlands.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The data demonstrated that the 2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate isomer was metabolized in vitro in skin samples from rat, mouse and humans to the corresponding diol and ester hydrolysis product. Rat skin was most permeable to the test substance isomer. Human skin samples were approximately an-order-of-magnitude less permeable than rodent skin.
Executive summary:

The dermal penetration and metabolism of radio-labeled 2,3 -epoxypropyl neodecanoate isomer was assessed in vitro using diffison cell technology with skin samples from rats, mice and humans. The data demonstrated that the 2,3-epoxypropyl neodecanoate isomer was metabolized in vitro in skin samples from rat, mouse and humans to the corresponding diol and ester hydrolysis product. Rat skin was most permeable to the test substance isomer. Human skin samples were approximately an-order-of-magnitude less permeable to the 2,3 -epoxypropyl neodecanoate isomer than rodent skin.
