- Conclusions:
- Isobutyl acetate did not meet the criteria for a skin sensitizer according to Directive 2001/59/EC in a Guinea pig maximization test performed according to OECD TG 406
- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study isobutyl acetate (purity ca 98%) was tested using a Guinea Pig Maximisation Test according to OECD test guideline 406 (Skin Sensitization), adopted 1981. 20 test animals were induced by intradermal injection of 0.1 mL of 10% TS in maize oil and and 0.1 mL of 10% TS in a 1:1 mixture of FCA and maize oil. For the topical application the injection site was treated 7days after the initial injection for 48 hours with pure TS (patch application). Challenge exposure followed after 14 days. Pure TS loaded on a patch was applied for 24 hours to one flank of the test animals. Reading of the skin reaction of test and control animals was taken 48 and 72 hours after the start of the challenge application.
For induction, controls (9 animals) were treated such as the test animals but with test mixtures without TS for induction. None of the animals showed skin reactions at the performed readings after challenge with 100% test substance.
No skin reactions in any of the 20 test animals were observed either at 48 hours or at 72 hours after the start of the challenge application. There was no adverse effect on the development of the body weight of the test and control animals. In this study, isobutylacetate is not a dermal sensitizer.
This study is classified as reliable with restrictions due to minor deviatons from the OECD test guideline 406 (no reliability check (positive control), only 9 controls). In addition, it is not a GLP study. Yet the study results are considered to be valid since the deviations are only of little importance.
Reference
No skin reactions were observed in any of the 20 test animals neither at 48 hours nor at 72 hours after the start of the challenge application.
There was no adverse effect on the development of the body weight of the test and control animals.

During the test the following local reactions were observed:

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
For assessment of the skin sensitization potential of isobutyl acetate, only one valid study is available (Huels AG, 1988). The publication of Opdyke/Epstein (1978) is a review article reporting toxic effects of isobutyl acetate in summary (secondary source).
Huels AG (1988)
In a valid dermal sensitization study isobutyl acetate (purity ca 98%) was tested using a Guinea Pig Maximisation Test according to OECD test guideline 406 (Skin Sensitization), adopted 1981.
No skin reactions in any of the 20 test animals were observed either at 48 hours or at 72 hours after the start of the challenge application. There was no adverse effect on the development of the body weight of the test and control animals. In this study, isobutyl acetate is not a dermal sensitizer.
In the study cited from secondary source (Opdyke/Epstein, 1978, RL4) 28 human volunteers were treated according to the scheme of maximization test by Kligman (Kligman and Epstein 1975). Using a 2% isobutyl acetate solution in petrolatum, no skin sensitization reaction was produced, further supporting the fact that isobutyl acetate is not a dermal senistizer.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
In a Guinea Pig Maximization Test according to OECD TG 406, isobutyl acetate did not cause any skin reactions in the test animals.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Only one adequate study available of high reliability (Klimisch score 2)
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
- Additional information:
- Migrated from Short description of key information:
There are no data on sensitization by inhalation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Isobutyl acetate was not a skin sensitiser in a guinea pig maximisation test. Therefore, Isobutyl acetate has not to be classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
There are no data on sensitization by inhalation.
