Isoeugenol

EC Number:

202-590-7

EC Name:

Isoeugenol

Cas Number:

97-54-1

IUPAC Name:

2-methoxy-4-prop-1-en-1-ylphenol

Test material form:

not specified

Details on test material:

- Storage condition of test material: Kept in light-intercepting ampoule at 5 °C.

Method

Ethical approval:

not applicable

Details on study design:

- A panel of 50 adult male volunteers was dermally exposed to 0.05 mL of Iso-eugenol (32 % in acetone) under a 15 mm lint patch.
- Individuals with known allergic reactions were excluded.
- Patches were placed in contact with the skin on the back of each subject and left for 48 h. The patches were then removed and the sites were swabbed with dry gauze to remove any residual test materials. 30 minutes later, the test sites were evaluated for dermal reactions. If necessary, 72, 96 and 120 h readings were performed.

- Scoring of patch test reactions:
-: negative reading
±: questionable erythema not covering the entire patch area
+: definite erythema of the entire patch area
++: erythema and edema
+++: erythema, edema, and vesicles (or papules)
++++: bullous reaction

Exposure assessment:

measured

Details on exposure:

TYPE OF EXPOSURE: Under occlusive patches

EXPOSURE LEVELS: 0.05 mL of Iso-eugenol (32 % in acetone) under a 15 mm lint patch

EXPOSURE PERIOD: 48h

POSTEXPOSURE PERIOD: The patches were then removed and the sites were swabbed with dry gauze to remove any residual test materials

Results and discussion

Results:

Iso-eugenol induced moderate skin irritation in human and the irritation score was 2.

None

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

In humans, a solution of 32% Isoeugenol in acetone was found to be moderately irritating when applied to the skin of 50 adult males in occlusive patches over 48 hours

Executive summary:

In a dermal irritation study, a panel of 50 adult male volunteers was dermally exposed to 0.05 mL of Iso-eugenol (32 % in acetone) under a 15 mm lint patch. Individuals with known allergic reactions were excluded. The patches were placed in contact with the skin on the back of each subject and left for 48 h. The patches were then removed and the sites were swabbed with dry gauze to remove any residual test materials. 30 minutes later, the test sites were evaluated for dermal reactions. If necessary, 72, 96 and 120 h readings were performed.
