Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Remarks:
in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Justification for type of information:
Sodium hydroxide is both reagents used in the manufacture of sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate . Therefore, sodium hydroxide need to be considered in the assessment of sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Patch testing for 24 hours with visual scoring being recorded by the subjective evaluation method and by the transepidermal water loss method. After the seventh day reading sodium hydroxide (0.125%) was re-applied to all pretested sites and reading was performed on the next day.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
not specified
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Patch testing for 24 hours with visual scoring being recorded by the subjective evaluation method and by the transepidermal water loss method. After the seventh day reading sodium hydroxide (0.125%) was re-applied to all pretested sites and reading was performed on the next day.
The irritant response was well correlated to the concentration of the irritant.

Test material

Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate
EC Number:
246-805-2
EC Name:
Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate
Cas Number:
25306-75-6
Molecular formula:
C5H10OS2.Na
IUPAC Name:
sodium [(2-methylpropoxy)methanethioyl]sulfanide
Test material form:
solid: bulk
Details on test material:
SIBX/Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate is produced by the reaction of an isobutyl alcohol with sodium hydroxide to form alcoholate and subsequently adding carbon disulfide to form SIBX/ Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate.
SIBX/Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate contains 2-methylpropan-1-ol l/isobutyl alcohol (CAS number 78-83-1) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) which are an integral part of the substance.

2-methylpropan-1-ol l/ isobutyl alcohol (CAS number 78-83-1) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) are both reagents used in the manufacture of SIBX/Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate. Therefore, 2-methylpropan-1-ol l/ isobutyl alcohol (CAS number 78-83-1) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) need to be considered in the assessment of SIBX/Sodium O-isobutyl dithiocarbonate.
