Results and discussion
- Results:
- RESULTS OF CHROMOSOMAL ABERRATION
- There were no changes in the incidence of chromatid gaps, deletions or exchanges were observed in any of the post-application samples compared with pre-dosing baseline values.
- Chromosome aberrations such as dicentric, iso-locus deletion and exchanges were scored, but the incidence of such aberrations was not significantly increased between pre-application and post- application samples. Thus these data did not suggest any chromosomal aberration of lymphocyte after treatment with formulations.
- The details of individual values of chromosomal aberrations are reported in study report.
- The mean (%) results of chromatid and chromosome aberrations are reported in ‘Table 1’ and ‘Table 2’ under ‘Any other information on results incl. tables’

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The formulations containing p-(Me-14C)-toluenediamine did not induce lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations after treatment to hair bearing scalp in healthy adult humans for 30 min.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to investigate the induction of chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes following the topical application of two formulations containing p-(Me-14C)-toluenediamine to the hair-bearing scalp of adult healthy male subjects (5/formulation group).
The two formulations I and II were prepared with 50% of water and 50% of hydrogen peroxide (6%), respectively. The 45 g of formulations (contained 371 mg of test substance and 19.98 µCi total radioactivity) were applied to each individual to hair bearing scalp for 30 min.
The blood samples were collected at Day 7 before treatment (as baseline value) and Day 1, 3, 7 and 14 after treatment.
Blood samples (lymphocytes) were suspended in 0.5 mL of culture medium and incubated (37°C, 5% CO2) for 2 h. The samples were incubated with Colcemid (to arrest cell division in metaphase) (0.3µg/mL). The slides were prepared and the lymphocytes were fixed (methanol-acetic acid (3:1) solution for 30 min) and stained with giemsa (1:20 in water) at pH 7.2 for 6 min.
The slide were randomly coded and analyzed for 300 metaphases for each sample. The values are expressed as % of metaphase showing specific aberrations of chromatid gaps, deletions and exchanges.
There were no changes in the incidence of chromatid gaps, deletions or exchanges in any of the post-application samples compared with pre-dosing baseline values.
Chromosome aberrations such as dicentric, iso-locus deletion and exchanges were scored, but the incidence of such aberrations were not significantly increased between samples or by comparison with post-application samples with baseline pre-application values.
No chromosomal aberration of lymphocyte was observed after treatment with formulations.
The formulations containing p-(Me-14C)-toluenediamine did not induce lymphocyte chromosomal aberrations after treatment in healthy adult humans for 30 min, applied topically to hair bearing scalp.
