Toxicity Profile
Route of ExposureNot Available
Mechanism of ToxicityAllyl isovalerate has low irritancy potential. It is deduced that one of its metabolites, isovaleric acid, is toxic, based upon the effects of an inborn error of leucine metabolism caused by isovaleryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (4).
MetabolismAllyl isovalerate is metabolized to isovaleric acid, which can conjugate with glycine, and allyl alcohol, which could then be further metabolized via two pathways to form either acrolein or glycidol, from which a variety of metabolites could result (4).
Toxicity ValuesLD50: 230 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (3) LD50: 500 mg/kg (Oral, Mouse) (3) LD50: 560 mg/kg (Dermal, Rabbit) (3)
Lethal DoseNot Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (5)
Uses/SourcesAllyl isovalerate has been used since the 1950s as a raw material for fragrances in cosmetics, lotions and perfumes and in certain food products, although it is not known whether it is currently used in this way (4).
Minimum Risk LevelNot Available
Health EffectsHarmful in contact with skin and if swallowed. Exposure via inhalation may result in bronchospasm and rarely, upper airway swelling or acute lung injury (1, 3).
SymptomsIrritating to eyes, respiratory system, and skin. Headache, rhinorrhea, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain (3).
TreatmentConsider dilution with water or milk in case of ingestion. After inhalation, move patient to fresh air and monitor for respiratory distress. In case of eye exposure, irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature water for at least 15 minutes. (1)
