| Toxicity Profile | |
| Route of Exposure | Oral (R259) ; inhalation (R259) |
| Mechanism of Action | Chlordane is believed to bind irreversibly to DNA, leading to cell death or altered cellular function. It also affects transcription by antagonizing estrogen-related receptors. Chlordane induces hepatic cytochrome P-450, causing a large increase in the volume of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum, which results in hepatocellular enlargement and hypertrophy. Chlordane has also been shown to bind and activate retinoic acid receptor, causing various developmental defects, and inhibit alkaline phosphatases in hepatic and renal tissues. (R159, R162, R163, R205, R206) |
| Metabolism | Chlordane is highly lipophilic and is thus easily absorbed by ingestion, inhalation, and dermal exposure, then stored mainly in the fat. Chlordane is metabolized mainly in the liver and kidney. Metabolism is slow, and is believed to occur by multiple pathways involving cytochrome P-450 enzymes, glutathione-S-transferase type enzymes, and microsomal mixed-function oxidase systems. The metabolites are generally less toxic and include chlordene chlorohydrin, monohydroxylated dihydrochlordene, and oxychlordane. They are excreted in the urine and faeces. (R159) |
| Toxicity Values | LD50: 200 mg/kg (Oral, Rat) (R261) LD50: 343 mg/kg (Intraperitoneal, Rat) (R261) LD50: 10 mg/kg (Intravenous, Mouse) (R263) LD50: 780 mg/kg (Dermal, Rat) (R263) LC50: 100 mg/m3 over 4 hours (Inhalation, Cat) (R263) |
| Lethal Dose | 100 mg/kg for an adult human. (R265) |
| Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification) | 2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (R264) |
| Uses/Sources | Chlordane was used as a pesticide. (R158) |
| Minimum Risk Level | Intermediate Inhalation: 0.0002 mg/m3 (R260) Chronic Inhalation: 0.00002 mg/m3 (R260) Acute Oral: 0.001 mg/kg/day (R260) Intermediate Oral: 0.0006 mg/kg/day (R260) Chronic Oral: 0.0006 mg/kg/day (R260) |
| Health Effects | Chlordane is a central nervous system stimulant, and can also damage the digestive system and the liver. Large doses have been shown to cause convulsions, respiratory failure, and death. Chlordane is also known to have adverse reproductive and developmental effects. (R159) |
| Symptoms | Ingestion and inhalation of chlordane cause headaches, irritability, confusion, weakness, vision problems, vomiting, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and jaundice. (R159) |
| Treatment | Treatment is symptomatic. It is aimed at controlling convulsions, coma, and respiratory depression. Gastric lavage, followed by the administration of activated charcoal, may be performed following ingestion. (R282) |

8. Retinoic acid receptor beta
Receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes. The RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. In the absence or presence of hormone ligand, acts mainly as an activator of gene expression due to weak binding to corepressors. In concert with RARG, required for skeletal growth, matrix homeostasis and growth plate function.

13. 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.

14. 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.
