- Synthetic Membranes as an Alternative to Animal Skin to Investigate Dermal Permeation of ChlorpyrifosPublication . Marques-da-Silva, Dorinda; Lagoa, RicardoChlorpyrifos is a pesticide revised as dangerous for human health. While dermal permeation of chlorpyrifos is still poorly investigated, alternatives to animal and/or human skin are demanded. In this work, the suitability of synthetic membranes as alternative models to study dermal permeation of chlorpyrifos was investigated. Silicone and STRAT-M® membranes were tested on Franz cells using different receptor compositions. By adapting the concentration of ethanol in the receptor fluid, the results of chlorpyrifos permeation through both membranes were close to those found in human skin studies, supporting the use of those membranes as non-animal skin-equivalent models.
