Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Diisobutyl phthalate was observed to have the following effects (> 20% inhibitory effect with 10^-5 M DIBP)

Agonistic activity via ERα [REC20 = 6.1*10^-6 M]

Antagonsitic activity via ERß [RIC20 = 6.2*10^-6 M]

Antiandrogenic activities in hAR-transactivation assay

Negative results were observed for:

Agonistic activity via ERß

Antagonsitic activity via ERα

Androgenic activity in AR assay

Cytotoxicity or suppression of ß-Gal activity

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Diisobutyl phthalate was found to exhibit ERα-estrogenic activity and antiandrogenic activity.
Executive summary:

In a non-GLP, non-guideline study Diisobutyl phthalate was found to was found to exhibit ERα-estrogenic activity and antiandrogenic activity.
