Description
Methoxychlor belongs to the diphenylmethanes, a subclass of benzene and substituted derivatives within the organic compounds. This exogenous solid has the formula C16H15Cl3O2 and an average molecular weight of 345.65 g/mol. It is used as an industrial pesticide (PMC7451114, PMC5938167), organochlorine pesticide (PMC2646121), insecticide (PMC1892114, PMC3670528, PMC4452124, PMC7141602), and organochlorine insecticide (PMC5983739, PMC8494257). Additionally, it is used in Low-Density Polyethylene and acts as a biological endocrine disruptor (PMC7870790). The compound is released from 24 recorded sources, including drinking water, floors, various electrical and electronic equipment, food processing and cookware, and household cleaning and consumer products. The recorded exposure route is oral. Methoxychlor is associated with health effects including cancer (PMC2906709), kidney disease (PMC2906709), obesity (PMC11672798), and male infertility (PMC11672798). Methoxychlor interacts with 40 recorded protein targets. It may inhibit neuronal adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases), specifically Na+K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase, which contributes to a reduced rate of depolarization and increased neuronal sensitivity to small stimuli. It is also believed to cause neurotoxic effects by preventing the deactivation of the sodium gate after neuron activation and membrane depolarization, resulting in nerve hyperexcitability. These effects involve targets such as the sodium channel protein type 1 subunit alpha (SCN1A), sodium channel protein type 10 subunit alpha (SCN10A), sodium channel protein type 11 subunit alpha (SCN11A), and potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 (HCN2). Furthermore, it causes endocrine disruption in humans by binding to and inhibiting the estrogen receptor (ESR1, ESR2). Certain mono- and bis-hydroxy metabolites, such as 2,2-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1, 1-trichloroethane (HPTE), act as estrogen analogues and androgen receptor (AR) antagonists. Other targets include CYP1A1, EGFR, PTGER2, and NR1I2.

Toxicity Profile
Mechanism of ToxicityCertain mono- and bis-hydroxy metabolites of methoxychlor, especially 2,2-bis(p-hydroxyphenyl)-1,1, 1-trichloroethane (HPTE), act as estrogen analogues. HPTE is an estrogen receptor alpha agonist, and also acts as an antagonist at the estrogen receptor beta and androgen receptor. This affects protein synthesis, which is believed to cause many of methoxychlor's estrogenic effects, such as decreased fertility. As methoxychlor is also a structural analogue of DDT, it is believed to have the same neurotoxic effects. This includes preventing the deactivation of the sodium gate after neuron activation and membrane depolarization, resulting in hyperexcitability of the nerve. Like DDT, methoxychlor may also inhibit neuronal adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases), particularly Na+K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase, which play vital roles in neuronal repolarization. This contributes to the reduced rate of depolarization and increases the sensitivity of neurons to small stimuli that would not elicit a response in a fully depolarized neuron. (5, 1)
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification)3, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. (3)
Minimum Risk LevelIntermediate Oral: 0.005 mg/kg/day (2)
SymptomsHigh levels of methoxychlor may cause fatigue, lethargy, tremors, convulsions and seizures. (5, 4)
