Methylothiazolinone is a bacterial and fungal inhibitor and preservative, as well as a sensitizer. Methylisothiazolinone can activate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in human bronchial epithelial cells to induce apoptosis and inflammatory response. Methylisothiazolinone can promote the development of atopic dermatitis in mice by disrupting Th2/Th17 related immune responses. Methylisothiazolinone can cause mitochondrial damage in the endothelium of rat cerebral blood vessels.
Methylisothiazolinone (0-8 μg/mL, 24 h) induces cell apoptosis and inflammatory response by activating matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in human bronchial epithelial cells[1]. Methylisothiazolinone (0-2.5 μg/mL, 1 h) can cause mitochondrial damage in brain endothelial cells[2].
Methylisothiazolinone (0.15 mg/kg
once
i.v.) can increase the susceptibility of rat cerebral vascular endothelium to endogenous pathological stimuli and lead to mitochondrial damage[2]. Methylisothiazolinone (20 or 40 μL
handling skin (20 μL), days 1 and 8
intranasal instillation (40 μL), day 15) can cause sensitization in asthmatic mice when handled on the skin[3]. Methylisothiazolinone (0.1875 mg/kg CMIT/MIT
once daily
15 days
epidermal contact) promotes the development of atopic dermatitis in mice through Th2/Th17 related immune response dysregulation[4].
