Toxicity Profile
Route of Exposure Oral (R236) ; inhalation (R236) ; dermal (R236)
Mechanism of Action The initial metabolism of dibromochloropropane to reactive epoxide metabolites that bind to DNA and other macromolecules may be responsible for its hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. The mechanism of dibromochloropropane's testicular toxicity is believed to be due to either the inhibition of sperm carbohydrate metabolism, probably at the step of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) dehydrogenase activity in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, or direct DNA damage caused by its metabolites. (R236, R043)
Metabolism Dibromochloropropane is absorbed via oral, inhalation, and dermal routes. It accumulates mainly in the kidney, liver, and adipose tissues. Dibromochloropropane is initially converted to epoxy derivatives, which are further hydrolyzed and debrominated. Glutathione (GSH) conjugation of epoxide intermediates in the liver is believed to produce precursors to toxic intermediates. The metabolites are excreted mainly in the urine. (R236)
Toxicity Values LD50: 100 mg/kg (Oral, Rabbit) (R292) LC50: 1480 mg/m3 over 1 hour (Inhalation, Rat) (R292)
Lethal Dose Not Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification) 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (R264)
Uses/Sources Dibromochloropropane is the active ingredient in the nematicide Nemagon, also known as Fumazone. Nemagon is a soil fumigant formerly used in agriculture. (R236)
Minimum Risk Level Intermediate Inhalation: 0.0002 ppm (R260) Intermediate Oral: 0.002 mg/kg/day (R260)
Health Effects Breathing high levels of dibromochloropropane causes reproductive damage, including reduced sperm counts, birth defects, and infertility. It may also damage the stomach, liver, kidneys, brain, spleen, blood, and lungs, and cause skin and eye damage from direct contact. (R236)
Symptoms Symptoms of dibromochloropropane exposure include headaches, nausea, lightheadedness, and weakness. (R236)
Treatment Not Available

19. Estrogen receptor

Nuclear hormone receptor. The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Ligand-dependent nuclear transactivation involves either direct homodimer binding to a palindromic estrogen response element (ERE) sequence or association with other DNA-binding transcription factors, such as AP-1/c-Jun, c-Fos, ATF-2, Sp1 and Sp3, to mediate ERE-independent signaling. Ligand binding induces a conformational change allowing subsequent or combinatorial association with multiprotein coactivator complexes through LXXLL motifs of their respective components. Mutual transrepression occurs between the estrogen receptor (ER) and NF-kappa-B in a cell-type specific manner. Decreases NF-kappa-B DNA-binding activity and inhibits NF-kappa-B-mediated transcription from the IL6 promoter and displace RELA/p65 and associated coregulators from the promoter. Recruited to the NF-kappa-B response element of the CCL2 and IL8 promoters and can displace CREBBP. Present with NF-kappa-B components RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50 on ERE sequences. Can also act synergistically with NF-kappa-B to activate transcription involving respective recruitment adjacent response elements; the function involves CREBBP. Can activate the transcriptional activity of TFF1. Also mediates membrane-initiated estrogen signaling involving various kinase cascades. Isoform 3 is involved in activation of NOS3 and endothelial nitric oxide production. Isoforms lacking one or several functional domains are thought to modulate transcriptional activity by competitive ligand or DNA binding and/or heterodimerization with the full length receptor. Isoform 3 can bind to ERE and inhibit isoform 1.

20. Estrogen receptor beta

Nuclear hormone receptor. Binds estrogens with an affinity similar to that of ESR1, and activates expression of reporter genes containing estrogen response elements (ERE) in an estrogen-dependent manner. Isoform beta-cx lacks ligand binding ability and has no or only very low ere binding activity resulting in the loss of ligand-dependent transactivation ability. DNA-binding by ESR1 and ESR2 is rapidly lost at 37 degrees Celsius in the absence of ligand while in the presence of 17 beta-estradiol and 4-hydroxy-tamoxifen loss in DNA-binding at elevated temperature is more gradual.
