Description
Curator's Comment: description was created based on several sources, including http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/706374 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12948864

β-Hexachlorcyclohexane is a byproduct of the production of insecticide lindane (γ-hexachlorocyclohexane). Technical grade hexachlorocyclohexane contains about 5-12% of technical grade hexachlorocyclohecane. Elevated levels of β-Hexachlorcyclohexane in blood was linked with risk of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. β-Hexachlorcyclohexane is a xenoestrogen and promotes growth and invasiveness of breast tumor cell lines.

CNS Activity

Sources: Known to be CNS penetrant in rats, but much less penetrant than other hexachlorocyclohexane isomers. Human data not available.
