Inter-laboratory skin distribution study of 4-n-butyl resorcinol: The importance of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC–MS/MS) bioanalytical validation
In the present study, three laboratories independently compared percutaneous absorption and distribution of 4-n-butylresorcinol, using human skin from five donors. Each laboratory used the same protocol for percutaneous absorption studies but different LC–MS/MS analytical methods to quantify the tes...

Summary: | In the present study, three laboratories independently compared percutaneous absorption and distribution of 4-n-butylresorcinol, using human skin from five donors. Each laboratory used the same protocol for percutaneous absorption studies but different LC–MS/MS analytical methods to quantify the test compound. All laboratories respected the mass balance criteria (i.e. 100±15%; average 96.5–102% of applied dose). Regarding usual inter-lab variability, good agreement was observed for all compartments with the greatest difference in the epidermis: 3.3 fold increase. The data obtained demonstrate that robustness of skin absorption data rely on properly validated analytical methods including sample extraction and LC–MS/MS method. It also includes clearly defined cutaneous absorption protocol for dose skin preparation, application, washing and tape stripping. |
