Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Biochemistry
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Historically, skin was considered a passive barrier.
  • Recent research highlights significant metabolic activity within skin layers, primarily epidermis.
  • Enzymatic processes in the skin influence xenobiotic interactions.

Purpose:

  • To review enzyme activities and locations within skin layers.
  • To discuss in vitro and in vivo models for studying skin metabolism.
  • To explore the impact of skin metabolism on xenobiotic transformations and topical drug effects.

Summary:

  • Skin possesses active metabolic processes, mainly in the epidermis, mediated by enzymes.
  • These metabolic transformations affect the percutaneous absorption and systemic effects of xenobiotics.
