Isopropyl is in alcohol. which makes it dissolve. also alcohol dissolves both polar and non-polar substances , and permanent marker is non-polar. which means that it share electrons equally.
I hope this helped ;)
Further explaination:
isopropanol/Ispropyl (or called rubbing alcohol) is a solvent that has polar molecules (molecules with a positive charged molecule that sticks to a negative charged molecule).
If you sniff a sharpie, it has a sharp, alcohol smell, right? Sharpies have n-propanol alcohol, n-butanol, and diacetone alcohol in them. They have pretty similar structures to rubbing alcohol. Most alcohol molecules contain hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. All alcohol have polar molecules.
There is a "like dissolve like" rule. This means Polar solvent+Polar solvent=dissolve/removal. OR non-polar solvent+nonpolar solvent=dissolve/removal.
The closer the types of molecule and chemical make-ups are, the more likely they are to dissolve or be removed.

Not all permanent markers are the same. First try rubbing alcohol (this is usually isopropyl alcohol) or any kind of alcohol that you have. That often works. If it doesn't, then a more serious solvent such as a paint remover may be needed. Of course, if you use paint remover on your painted wall, you will also remove some of the paint and you may need to repaint. But you will definitely get the permanent marker off.
