The consequences of overcoming the human skin barrier by siloxanes (silicones) Part 1. Penetration and permeation depth study of cyclic methyl siloxanes.
Chemosphere 2018 September 28
Dynamic production of cyclic siloxanes: octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane D4, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane D5 and dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane D6 increases their concentrations in environment. It is considered that both environmental pollution and the usage of personal care products and cosmetics containing cyclic siloxanes can be the main source of the human exposure by transdermal route. The aim of the study was to verify the possibility to overcome the skin barrier by cyclic siloxanes (ATR-FTIR and GC-FID), evaluation of diffusion pathway to stratum corneum SC (Fluorescence microscopy), and determination of depth of permeation to deeper skin layers: epidermis and dermis (ATR-FTIR) and also of potential interaction with SC lipids and proteins (Fluorescence microscopy, ATR-FTIR) and the cytotoxicity studies against HaCaT cells (MTT test). The results show that D4, D5 and D5 can penetrate to SC and permeate into the deeper layers of the skin: epidermis and dermis. The quantitative analysis (GC-FID) showed that total cumulative doses for D4, D5 and D6 were: 42.50; 95.37 and 77.19 μg/cm2/24 h, respectively. The microscopic analysis proved, transepidermal route through the lipid matrix as well as through the canyons (intercluster spaces) were a diffusion pathway to the SC as well as disruption of human SC lipid structure by: D4 (the most), D5 and D6 (the least). The cytotoxicity studies demonstrated that the tested range of concentrations of D5 and D6 (up to 300 mM, 111 300 mg and 133 500 mg respectively) did not impaired the HaCaT growth, while D4 had IC50 value of 40 098 mM ± 7.94 (10 906 ± 872,5 mg).
