Product Information

• Name: cis-Heptachlor epoxide
• Synonyms: (1aR,1bS,2R,5S,5aR,6S,6aR)-rel-2,3,4,5,6,7,7-heptachloro-1a,1b,5,5a,6,6a-hexahydro-2,5-methano-2H-indeno[1,2-b]oxirene(±)-cis-Hepta chlor epoxideENT 25584
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Cis-Heptachlor epoxide is a metabolite of heptachlor, which is a pesticide. Cis-heptachlor epoxide has been detected in the blood of pregnant women, and in fetal cord blood. It has also been found in the liver microsomes of rats treated with heptachlor. Cis-heptachlor epoxide is an intermediate in the metabolism of heptachlor, but it can also be formed by hydrolysis of other pesticides containing chlorine atoms such as DDT and endosulfan. Cis-heptachlor epoxide is toxic to plants and animals, causing liver damage and inhibiting cellular respiration. There are no known studies on its toxicity to humans.
