Test animals

Species:

pig

Strain:

not specified

Sex:

not specified

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Porcine ears were obtained from a local slaughter-house on the day of slaughter and before the pigs were steam-cleaned. The outer ear region was washed and cleaned with cold water. After carefully shaving, the skin was removed by dissection.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:

open

Vehicle:

water

Duration of exposure:

Samples (0.5 ml) were taken form the receptor chamber after 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, and 24 hours and analysed.

Doses:

100, 10 and 1 µg/ml

No. of animals per group:

4

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

For the determination of the absorption of the test article the skin was mounted in glass diffusion chambers with a diameter of 1.13 cm2 (area of skin) and a volume of 7 ml. These chambers are subdivided in an upper part (donor chamber) and in a lower part (receptor chamber). A recorded volume of physiological saline (0.9% NaCl-solution) was placed in the receptor chamber of each diffusion cell, followed by the application of 200 µl ofthe test article dissolved in aqua bidest. to the donor chambers. Three concentrations ofthe test article (100-, 10-, and 1 ng/ml chamber volume) where tested using 4 chambers at each concentration. The top of the donor chamber was covered with parafilm. The diffusion chambers were placed in an incubator at 37 °C. Samples (0.5 ml) were taken form the receptor chamber after 0, 0.5, 1, 4, 8, and 24 hours and analysed. The volume of the fluid in the receptor chamber was kept constant by the addition of 0.5 ml of fresh receptor fluid to the receptor chamber immediately after removal of each sample. By plotting the time dependent increase in concentration of the test article in the receptor chamber, the permeation rate was determined.

SKIN PREPARATION
- Source of skin: Local slaughter house
- Type of skin: procine ear
- Preparative technique: The outer ear region was washed and cleaned with cold water. After carefially shaving, the skin was removed by dissection. The skin sample was then stored in a freezer until use (within a week).
- Thickness of skin (in mm): 2 - 3 mm
- Membrane integrity check: yes (use of 14C mannitose)
- Storage conditions: freezer
- Justification of species, anatomical site and preparative technique: Porcine skin is considered a suitable representative of human skin as indicated by the Opinion (23 June 1999) of the EU Scientific Committee on Cosmetic Products and Non-Food Products intended for Consumers (SCCNFP).
