SKIN PREPARATION
- Source of skin: Biopredic International, Rennes, France
- Type of skin: human
- Thickness of skin (in mm): 420 to 500 micrometers
- Membrane integrity check:
Skin membranes were thawed, mounted in the diffusion cell and the skin integrity was tested by permeation of tritiated water. 200 pL saline containing tritiated water (3.7 kBq) was applied to the donor chamber of the flow-through cells. The receptor fluid consisted of saline and was collected every hour up to 3 hours after application. At the end of the experiment, the tritiated water remainina at the donor chamber was removed with a pipet and the skin was dried with two cotton swarbs (Etos BV, Beverwijk, The Netherlands). The receptor fluid samples were analyzed bv LSC. Only the results from the skin membranes with a Kp < 4.5 x 10 -3 cm/h are reported.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The Skin integrity tests indicated that all skin samples were acceptable for the study.

In the main study, a lag time of 2- 4 hours was observed prior to radoilable being detected in the receptor fluid for th 0.5% test concentration. This lag phase was 3 hours for the 10% test concentration. The percentage of test material penetrating the skin (absorbed) was greater at the lower test concentration of 0.5%, with approxiately 50% of the applied dose being absorbed, compared to approximately 20% absorbed at the 10% test concentration. The actual values are givi the summary table below.

The Flux (amount of compound penetrating per cm2 per hour) was almost 10 times greater at 10% test concentration compared to the 0.5% concentration.

Dose	Recovery data (%) +/- SD			Lag time (h)	Flux (mg/cm^2/h)
	Absorbed	Not-Absorbed	Total recovery
0.5%	51.4 +/- 8.9	47.0 +/-6.0	98.5 +/- 7.9	2-4	1.22 +/- 0.33
10%	20.6 +/- 10.3	85.2 +/- 16.8	105.8 +/- 8.7	2	11.3 +/- 6.4

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

3-amino-4-octanol is capable at penetrating the skin at concentrations of 0.5 and 10%, which are representative of the concentrations in metal working fluids.
