Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
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:
Propan-2-ol (Isopropyl alcohol) is both reagents used in the manufacture of IPETC/ O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamatel. Therefore, Propan-2-ol (Isopropyl alcohol) need to be considered in the assessment of IPETC/ O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate.

Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate
EC Number:
205-517-7
EC Name:
O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate
Cas Number:
141-98-0
Molecular formula:
C6H13NOS
IUPAC Name:
N-ethyl(propan-2-yloxy)carbothioamide
Test material form:
liquid
Details on test material:
IPETC is prepared through reacting ethoxycarbonyl isothiocyanate/ Ethyl isothiocyanatoformate (CAS 16182-04-0) with propan-2-ol/ isopropyl alcohol (CAS Number 67-63-0) and Butan-1-ol/ butyl alcohol (CAS Number 71-36-3).

IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate contains propan-2-ol (CAS number 67-63-0) and Butan-1-ol (CAS number 67-63-0) which are an integral part of the substance.
Propan-2-ol (CAS number 67-63-0) and Butan-1-ol (CAS number 67-63-0) are both reagents used in the manufacture of IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate. Therefore, Propan-2-ol (CAS number 67-63-0) and Butan-1-ol (CAS number 67-63-0) need to be considered in the assessment of IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate.

EC Name: propan-2-ol

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitising
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Isopropyl alcohol did not induce sensitization in the guinea pig model.
Propan-2-ol (Isopropyl alcohol) as a main constituent of IPETC/ O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate did not induce sensitization in the guinea pig model.
Executive summary:

One group of 20 test animals was treated with undiluted Isopropyl alcohol for a period of 6 hours weekly for 3 induction exposures. The test animals and control animals were challenged with undiluted Isopropyl alcohol. No skin reactions were observed in the test and control animals therefore, it was concluded that Isopropyl alcohol is not a sensitizer.
