PCB 72

Description:

PCB 72, or polychlorinated biphenyl 72, is a member of the polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) family, which consists of synthetic organic chemicals with varying degrees of chlorination. Characterized by its complex structure, PCB 72 typically contains multiple chlorine atoms attached to biphenyl, resulting in a hydrophobic compound that is stable and resistant to degradation. This stability contributes to its persistence in the environment, leading to bioaccumulation in living organisms. PCB 72 is primarily used in industrial applications, including as a dielectric fluid in capacitors and transformers, and as a heat transfer fluid. However, due to its toxicological properties, including potential carcinogenic effects and endocrine disruption, its production and use have been heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Environmental monitoring and remediation efforts are crucial due to its widespread historical use and the associated health risks. Overall, PCB 72 exemplifies the challenges posed by persistent organic pollutants in both environmental and human health contexts.

2,3',5,5'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl

Controlled Product

CAS: 41464-42-0

2,3',5,5'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl is an analog that has shown potential in the development of anticancer agents. Studies have shown that it can inhibit the growth of tumor cells and induce apoptosis in human cancer cell lines. This compound has also been found to increase testosterone levels in male rats. Additionally, 2,3',5,5'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl has been studied as a potential inhibitor of kinases involved in cancer progression. Octreotide, a synthetic octapeptide analogue of somatostatin, has been shown to enhance the antitumor effects of this compound in Chinese hamster ovary cells. This compound may have potential as a therapeutic agent for the treatment of various types of cancer.
