L-4-hydroxyproline

Acute Toxicity: dermal

Administrative data

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: dermal

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the physicochemical and toxicological properties suggest no potential for a significant rate of absorption through the skin

Justification for type of information:

JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
Dermal absorption is unlikely because of the poor lipophilicity of L-4-hydroxyproline. It suggests that the substance is not likely to cross the stratum corneum. Moreover, the low volatility in combination with the high water solubility and the negative Log P value indicate that the substance may be too hydrophilic to cross the lipid rich stratum corneum and thus dermal uptake will be unlikely.
