Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
The physicochemical parameters of MW, Log P and saturated aqueous solubility have been used in the evaluation of 56 methacrylate compounds. An output of predicted steady-state flux was calculated using the principles defined in the Potts and Guy prediction model. (Potts RO and Guy RH (1992). Predicting Skin Permeability. Pharm. Res. 9(5): 663- 669)
GLP compliance:
no

Results and discussion

Absorption in different matrices:
predicted flux 151.3 μg/cm²/h; the relative dermal absorption is high

Any other information on results incl. tables

Based on a molecular weight of 130.1 g/mol and a g Kow of 0.42, the predicted flux of HPMA is 151.3 μg/cm²/h; the relative dermal absorption is high.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The dermal absorption of HEMA is predicted to be high; the predicted flux is 151.3 μg/cm²/h.
Executive summary:
The dermal absorption (steady-state flux) of HEMA has been estimated by calculation using the principles defined in the Potts and Guy prediction model.

Based on a molecular weight of 130.1 g/mol and a logKow of 0.42, the predicted flux of HEMA is 151.3μg/cm²/h; the relative dermal absorption is high.
