Description

2,2',4,4',5-Pentachlorobiphenyl is a lipophilic compound that is classified as a polychlorinated biphenyl. 2,2',4,4',5-Pentachlorobiphenyl is metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzymes and can inhibit mitochondrial ATP synthesis. In rats exposed to the compound, this inhibition was shown to lead to increased levels of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation. This exposure also resulted in increased expression of the constitutive androstane receptor and decreased expression of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1). These effects were observed in both male and female rats. The effects of 2,2',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl on health are not fully known at this time.
