The substrate utilization rates of human cutaneous alcohol dehydrogenase were determined for 7 lower aliphatic primary alcohols: ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol, 2-methylpropanol, 3-methylbutanol, and 2,2-dimethyl-propanol. 1-Pentanol gave the highest relative activity and 2,2-dimethylpropanol the lowest. The frequency of erythemogenesis was determined in vivo for these 7 lower aliphatic primary alcohols. The frequency of erythemogenesis correlated strongly and significantly with the rate of substrate utilization by alcohol dehydrogenase. These results are consistent with the view that the reaction to primary alcohols applied topically to human skin is provoked, in large part, by the corresponding aldehyde.
