Ceramides are the major lipid components of the stratum corneum, the m
ajor permeability barrier of the skin. Here we report a chemical synth
esis of ceramide analogs covalently bonded on the silica particles, th
at can be used to predict the skin permeability of chemicals via HPLC
methods. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
