Therefore, ISTD, especially when adjusted to the physico-chemical properties of test compounds, is a promising concept to assess the integrity of skin samples during the whole course of absorption experiments. Importantly, ISTD did not influence analytics or absorption of test compounds. 3H-testosterone) were highly correlated to the absorption of 14C-labeled test compounds. Single skin samples did, however, not, poorly and even inversely correlate with the test-compound absorption. Limit values of 2 kΩ, 10 g m −2 h −1 and 4.5 ∗ 10 −3 cm h −1 for the standard methods TEER, TEWL and TWF, respectively, allowed distinguishing between impaired and intact human skin samples in general. The results were correlated to absorption profiles of various test compounds. Here, we compared the pre- or post-run integrity tests (transepidermal electrical resistance, TEER transepidermal water loss, TEWL absorption of the reference compounds water, TWF, or methylene blue, BLUE) and additionally focused on co-absorption of a 3H-labeled internal reference standard (ISTD) as integrity parameter. Different tests can be applied to evaluate the integrity of the skin samples. Skin absorption testing in vitro is a regulatory accepted alternative method (OECD Guideline 428).
