Application

  • Insights into the mechanisms of within-species variation in sensitivity to chemicals: A case study using daphnids exposed to CMIT/MIT biocide.: This study investigates the differential sensitivity of daphnids to 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, highlighting the biochemical mechanisms underlying these variations. The findings provide crucial insights for environmental safety assessments (Kim et al., 2023).
  • Effects of the biocide methylisothiazolinone on Xenopus laevis wound healing and tail regeneration.: The study assesses the impact of 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one on regenerative processes in amphibians, contributing to the understanding of its biological effects and potential toxicity (Delos Santos et al., 2016).
  • T cell lymphomatoid contact dermatitis: a challenging case and review of the literature.: This review includes discussions on 2-Methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one-induced contact dermatitis, providing valuable information for dermatological applications and safety assessments (Knackstedt and Zug, 2015).

Methylisothiazolinone (MIT) is a commonly used biocide known to be neurotoxic in vitro. Brief exposure of cortical neurons in culture to MIT results in increased neurodegeneration, whereas chronic exposure of developing neurons in culture to low concentrations of MIT has

Several preservatives are currently allowed in cosmetic products in the EU. However, only a few of them are strongly represented on the market: formaldehyde, parabens, formaldehyde releasers and methylchoroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI). MCI/MI has been widely used during recent years for the

Contact dermatitis, 67(3), 125-129 (2012-05-09)
The preservative methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI)/methylisothiazo- linone (MI) is an important allergen, and has thus been subject to regulation in some areas of exposure, mainly in cosmetics. To examine whether a decline in sensitization prevalence and intensity of elicitation (by the patch
