Metabolite Identification
Common NameChlordecone
DescriptionChlordecone, also known as kepone or GC 1189, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoterpenoids. Monoterpenoids are compounds containing a chain of two isoprene units. Chlordecone is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Chlordecone is formally rated as a possible carcinogen (by IARC 2B) and is also a potentially toxic compound.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in oxidoreductase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the transformation of the potent androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) into the less active form, 5-alpha-androstan-3-alpha,17-beta-diol (3-alpha-diol). Also has some 20-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity. The biotransformation of the pesticide chlordecone (kepone) to its corresponding alcohol leads to increased biliary excretion of the pesticide and concomitant reduction of its neurotoxicity since bile is the major excretory route.
