Metabolite Identification
Common Namebeta-Hexachlorocyclohexane
Descriptionbeta-Hexachlorocyclohexane, also known as beta-BHC or beta-lindane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as cyclohexyl halides. These are organohalogen compounds containing a monocyclic cyclohexane moiety that is substituted at one or more positions by an halogen atom. beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane is possibly neutral. beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Exposure to large amounts of hexachlorocyclohexane can harm the nervous system, producing a range of symptoms from headache and dizziness to seizures, convulsions and more rarely death. beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane causes nonestrogenic immune function changes in the adult mouse without gross changes in lymphoid organ weight, histology, or cellularity. beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound. beta-Hexachlorocyclohexane is a by-product of the production of the insecticide lindane. It is used as an insecticide on fruit, vegetables, and forest crops and is also available as a prescription (lotion, cream, or shampoo) to treat head and body lice, and scabies. These are alkanes containing one or more saturated rings of carbon atoms. Metabolism occurs via dechlorination, dehydrogenation, dehydrochlorination, and hydroxylation by hepatic cytochrome P-450 enzymes. Hexachlorocyclohexane poisoning is treated symptomatically.
