Certain mono- and dihydroxybenzene derivatives are selectively cytotoxic for melanocytes in vivo, and can cause depigmentation of skin and hair. We produced selective melanocytotoxicity/hair depigmentation in C57Bl mice by injection of 0.032-1.0% p-t-butylcatechol (tBC) or p-hydroxyanisole (MMEH) in physiological saline.
