Description
gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane belongs to the cyclohexyl halides, a subclass of alkyl halides within the organic compounds. This exogenous solid has the formula C6H6Cl6 and an average molecular weight of 290.83 g/mol. It is classified as an organohalogen compound. The compound serves as a biocide, rodenticide, fungicide, antibacterial agent, and pediculicide. It is used as an agrochemical and an organochlorine insecticide (PMC5241328, PMC4145850) or organochlorine pesticide (PMC4503305, PMC5241328, PMC3949748), as well as a general pesticide (ed3, (PMC11110075)) and insecticide (PMC4262624, PMC4159143). Industrially, it is identified as a degradant or impurity and is recognized as a persistent organic pollutant (PMC8296669) and a biological metabolite (PMC11110075). It is released from 61 recorded sources, including electrical and electronic equipment, household cleaning and consumer products, building and construction materials, healthcare and veterinary products such as ectoparasiticides, and food processing materials. Exposure occurs via oral, topical, touch, and inhalation routes. Biologically, gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane acts as a GABA-gated chloride channel antagonist. It antagonizes gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at GABA-A receptors (including GABRA1, GABRA2, GABRA3, and GABRA4), blocking chloride ion uptake and causing central nervous system hyperexcitability. It inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase and Ca2+ and Mg2+ ATPase (including ATP1A1, ATP1A2, ATP1A3, and ATP1A4), leading to intracellular free calcium accumulation and the propagation of stimuli throughout the central nervous system. Additionally, it acts as an endocrine disruptor by inhibiting the androgen receptor, progesterone receptor, estrogen-related receptor gamma (ESRRG), and estrogen receptors ESR1 and ESR2. Other protein targets include CYP3A4, CYP2B6, COL3A1, and ABCB1. Health effects include associations with Parkinson's disease (PMC11664077), endometriosis (PMC9908711), contact dermatitis (PMC12623114), increased blood pressure (PMC11912326), and increased congenital hypothyroidism (PMC7009407). Blood levels are elevated in cases of endometriosis (PMC9908711).

Toxicity Profile
Mechanism of ToxicityHexachlorocyclohexane is a neurotoxin that interferes with GABA neurotransmitter function by interacting with the GABA-A receptor-chloride channel complex at the picrotoxin binding site, causing over stimulation of the central nervous system. It is also believed to inhibit sodium/potassium-transporting ATPases and be an endocrine disruptor. In the liver, hexachlorocyclohexane is thought to cause oxidative stress by interfering with hepatic oxidative capacity and glutathione metabolism, increasing lipid metabolism, and inhibiting magnesium ATPase activity. Hexachlorocyclohexane may also inhibit gap junction and intercellular communication, leading to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor promotion. (4, 5, 1) Lindane is a moderately toxic compound via oral exposure, with a reported oral LD50 of 88 to 190 mg/kg in rats. It is moderately toxic via the dermal route as well, with reported dermal LD50 values of 500 to 1000 mg/kg in rats, 300 mg/kg in mice, 400 mg/kg in guinea pigs, and 300 mg/kg in rabbits.
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)2B, possibly carcinogenic to humans. (7)
Minimum Risk LevelAcute Oral: 0.003 mg/kg/day (6) Intermediate Oral: 0.00001 mg/kg/day (6)
SymptomsExposure 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. (5)
TreatmentHexachlorocyclohexane poisoning is treated symptomatically. Gastric lavage, followed by the administration of activated charcoal, may be performed upon ingestion. (9)
