Tert-Butyl alcohol (TBA), also called tert-butanol, an important intermediate in industrial chemical synthesis, is poorly absorbed through skin, but is rapidly absorbed upon inhalation or ingestion and distributed to tissues throughout the body. There is no much information related to the toxicity and pharmacological properties of tert-butanol in humans and animals. However, the recently published article has shown that TBA-associated non-neoplastic and neoplastic histopathological changes in the rat's kidney could be explained by alpha2u-globulin nephropathy (α2u-gN) or enhanced chronic progressive nephropathy (CPN), neither of which are relevant to humans.
