Materials and methods

Type of study / information:
haemotoxicity in vitro
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The effect of p-chlorotoluene on heme synthesis in vitro was examined by studying the influence of tis compound on delta-amino/evulinic acid synthetase (ALAS) and ferrochelatase (FC) activities in rat liver homogenates.

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:
The effect of p-chlorotoluene on heme synthesis in vitro was determined by studying its influence on delta-amino-levulinic acid synthetase (ALAS) and ferrochelatase (FC)activities in rat liver homogenates; at a final concentration of 0.001 mol/l (= 126 ug/ml), p-chlorotoluene induced a very slight inhibition of ALAS activity (activity, expressed as percentage of control: 97 %), whereas the activity of FC remained unaffected by p-chlorotoluene.
