Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Isobutyraldehyde did not cause ear swelling or cell proliferation in a combined MEST and radioisotopic assay.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
NTP 1990 reported a study, where isobutyraldehyde was tested on female B6C3F1 mice. The doses of isobutyraldehyde ranged from 3% to 30% in a solution of 4 parts acetone to one part olive oil (4:1) for induction and 30% for challenge. Mice received 20 µL by direct dermal application for 5 consecutive days to a shaved and dermabraded site. DNFB (1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene) (98%) was used as a positive control at a concentration of 0.5%. Measurement of the contact hypersensitivity was accomplished by the radioisotopic assay and the mouse ear swelling test (MEST). No statistically significant dose-dependent contact hypersensitivity response to isobutyraldehyde was demonstrated in mice with or without adjuvant.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available information classification for skin sensitisation is not warranted in accordance with EU Classification, Labeling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation No. 1272/2008.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
