abstract: Investigation on 6 alpha-fluoro-9 alpha-chloro-16 alpha-methyl-delta 1,4-pregnadiene-11 beta-dihydroxy-3,20-dione-21-trimethylacetic acid (clocortolone trimethylacetic acid) are reported. The aim of the trial was to prove the penetration kinetics of the steriod into the skin. Three healthy female subjects took part in the investigations. They were treated with an oil-water emulsion of the substance on two spots on the back, after having observed alcohol abstinence. One of the treated spots was stripped after 30 min, the second after 60 min using the "Tesafilm" stripping method. The strips were then analysed gaschromatographically on the presence of clocortolone-trimethylacetic acid. It could be shown that the steroid penetrates into the skin up to the 12th-14th strips, building up a certain congestion of the substance at this time because of reaching the stratum corneum, as we suppose. At this place a depot is built of which probably only a very small or no permeation into the system occurs, as clocortolone could not be detected either in the subjects' serum nor in the urine.
