Dieldrin is an organochlorine pesticide belonging to the class of substances which are known to have a toxic effect on various physiological systems of the human body. Despite an imposed ban on their manufacture and commercial use, these pesticides can still be detected in high probability areas of consumption such as agriculture land. Dieldrin has been epidemiologically associated with an increased risk for Parkinson's disease (PD). Early studies identifying dieldrin as an antiandrogen estrogen mimetic have been contradicted by more recent studies which do not show any estrogenic activity.

As mitochondrial dysfunction is involved in the etiology of Parkinson's disease, there was study aimed to determine whether dieldrin (DLD) impaired mitochondrial bioenergetics in dopaminergic cells. Rat immortalized dopaminergic N27 cells were treated for 24 or 48h with one dose of either a solvent control, 2.5, 25, or 250 μM DLD. Dopaminergic cells treated with 250 μM DLD showed increased Casp3/7 activity at 24 and 48h. DLD also caused a dose dependent reduction in cell viability of 25-30 % over 24 h. No significant effects on cell viability, apoptosis, nor cytotoxicity were detected at 24 or 48 h with 2.5 μM DLD. Following a 24 h exposure to 2.5 and 25 μM DLD, viable cells were subjected to a mitochondrial stress test using the Seahorse XFe24 Extracellular Flux Analyzer. Following three independent experiments conducted for rigor, dopaminergic cells that were treated with 2.5 and 25 μM DLD consistently showed a reduction in maximum respiration and spare capacity compared to the control group. Molecular responses were measured to determine mechanisms of DLD-induced mitochondrial dysfunction.
