- Additional information:
Prediction model based estimation of skin sensitization is used to estimate the skin sensitizing nature of the test chemical Phenethyl isovalerate (CAS no 140 -26 -1). The summary is as mentioned below:
Skin sensitization was estimated using SSS QSAR prediction model, 2016 using Guinea pigs. The test chemical Phenyethyl isovalerate is not a skin sensitizer. As per CLP classification, the test material is not likely to classify as a skin sensitizer.
Based on the QSAR prediction done using the Danish (Q)SAR Database (2016), the skin sensitization was estimated to be negative on guinea pig and human .Thus it can be concluded that the substance Phenethyl isovalerate has negative skin sensitization effects and based on the CLP criteria for classification it can be classified as non skin sensitizer.
In skin sensitization study, maximization test was carried out on 26 volunteers (Burdock Group, 1979). The test chemical was tested at a concentration of 2% in petrolatum and produced no sensitization reactions. Based on the above value the test material does not classify as an skin sensitizer.
In another study by (Opdyke, D. L. J., 1975) with similar substance (102 -20 -5) was observed in human by maximization test. A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers. Phenethyl phenylacetate was tested at a concentration of 2% in petrolatum and produced no sensitization reactions. Hence Phenethyl phenylacetate is not likely to exhibit sensitization effect on the skin of humans.
On the basis of available information for the target as well as read across substance and applying weight of evidence approach, the test substance Phenylethyl isovalerate can be considered as “not sensitizing” to the skin, in accordance with the CLP criteria
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
Skin sensitization was estimated using SSS QSAR prediction model, 2016 using Guinea pigs. The test chemical Phenyethyl isovalerate is not a skin sensitizer. As per CLP classification, the test material is not likely to classify as a skin sensitizer.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
As per CLP classification, Phenyethyl isovalerate is not likely to classify as a skin sensitizer.
