- Executive summary:
Allergic contact dermatitis from 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in a cream dye was evaluated on a 29- yr old woman. She had used the same product for several years without any side-effects. The colour was semipermanent and applied only 4X a year. She had developed an intensely itchy dermatitis at her brows but not at her lashes, despite these having been coloured at the same time. After treatment with corticosteroids, the dermatitis disappeared within a week.
The case was patch tested with the European standard series and PPD derivatives used for hair colouring, as well as their own cream dyes and constitu ents, including chloro-PPD. At D3, she had a +++ reaction to chloro-PPD (1% pet.) and a ++reaction to the cream dye as is. She also had a + reaction to PPD but no reaction to the other derivatives or metabolites of PPD tested.
No further positive reactions were found at D7. 10 controls were negative to the chloro-PPD test.
According to the publication, the test material classifies as a skin sensitizer.

Skin sensitisation
In various studies, 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) has been investigated to observe the potential for skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on human case studies and experimental study in rodents for 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine. The predicted data using the QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data. The studies are summarize ed as below:
Allergic contact dermatitis from 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in a cream dye was evaluated by Christer Hansson (Contact Dermatitis, 2001, 45, 235–236) on a 29- yr old woman. She had used the same product for several years without any side-effects. The colour was semipermanent and applied only 4X a year. She had developed an intensely itchy dermatitis at her brows but not at her lashes, despite these having been coloured at the same time. After treatment with corticosteroids, the dermatitis disappear red within a week.
The case was patch tested with the European standard series and PPD derivatives used for hair colouring, as well as their own cream dyes and constituents, including chloro-PPD. At D3, she had a +++ reaction to chloro-PPD (1% pet.) and a ++reaction to the cream dye as is. She also had a + reaction to PPD but no reaction to the other derivatives or metabolites of PPD tested.
No further positive reactions were found at D7. 10 controls were negative to the chloro-PPD test. According to the study, the test material 2-Chloro-p-Phenylenediamine was sensitizing.
The above study is supported by another case study on humans by Christer Hansson (Contact Dermatitis, 2001, 45, 235–236). Allergic contact dermatitis from 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in a cream dye was evaluated on a 30- yr old woman. She used to regularly colour her lashes and brows. The last 2X, she had developed an itchy dermatitis on her eyelids, which had disappeared within a few weeks without treatment.
The case was patch tested with the European standard series and PPD derivatives used for hair colour ing, as well as their own cream dyes and constituents, including chloro-PPD. At D3, she had a +++ reaction to both chloro-PPD (1% pet.) and a cream dye as is.
No further positive reactions were found at D7. 10 controls were negative to the chloro-PPD test. According to the study, the test material 2-Chloro-p-Phenylenediamine was sensitizing.
In addition to these studies, the sensitization potential of 2-Chloro-p-Phenylenediamine (CAS No.- 615 -66 -7) was examined using the maximization test of Magnusson and Kligman by Lynn Willis (Journal Of The American College Of Toxicology Volume 11, Number 4,1992). Fifteen female Pirbright white guinea pigs received 5 intracutaneous injections (amount not stated) of 0.3% 2-Chloro-p-Phenylenediamine in distilled water over a period of 5 days. Ten female Pirbright white guinea pigs, which received no injections, served as controls. This was followed by a 4-wk nontreatment period. Animals were then patch tested with 0.003, 0.006, 0.03, and 0.3% 2-Chloro-p-Phenylenediamine, and their reactions were scored after 24 and 48 h. A Student’s t-test was used to compare the skin reaction scores of the test and control animals. 2-Chloro-p-Phenylenediamine was strongly sensitizing.
Moreover, the sensitization potential of 2 chloro-p-phenylenediamine was estimated by using a quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model. The predicted sensitizing potential of 2 chloro-p-phenylene diamine was estimated to be in the strong/moderate sensitizer group.
So, based on the above mentioned studies for target substance 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) and by applying weight of evidence approach, skin reactions indicative of sensitisation were found in humans and in guinea pigs. Thus based on the human experience and animal study, it infers that 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) is classified as skin sensitiser in category 1 as per CLP classification criteria.
