2,2',3,4,5,6-hexachlorobiphenyl

Description:

2,2',3,4,5,6-hexachlorobiphenyl, with the CAS number 41411-61-4, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of biphenyl molecules with multiple chlorine substituents. This compound features six chlorine atoms attached to the biphenyl structure, significantly altering its physical and chemical properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits high thermal stability and resistance to degradation, making it persistent in the environment. Due to its hydrophobic nature, it has low solubility in water but is soluble in organic solvents. 2,2',3,4,5,6-hexachlorobiphenyl is known for its potential toxic effects, including endocrine disruption and bioaccumulation in living organisms, raising concerns regarding its environmental and health impacts. Its use has been restricted or banned in many countries due to these hazards. Analytical methods such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are commonly employed to detect and quantify this compound in environmental samples.

2,2',3,4,5,6-Hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB) is a lipophilic chlorinated biphenyl that has been shown to have a strong inhibitory effect on the activity of some enzymes. PCB can bind to fatty acid molecules and prevent them from being broken down by the body. In addition, PCB can interact with other chemicals in an additive or synergistic manner. These interactions are important because they may lead to increased toxicity at lower levels of exposure. This chemical is found in most human tissues and has been detected in human milk. PCBs have also been found to be potent inducers of liver cell enzyme activities in both rats and humans. They also cause changes in the distribution of lipids within cells and induce lipid peroxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.
