Endosulfan sulfate

Endosulfan sulfate is a major metabolite of endosulfan, a broad-spectrum organochlorine insecticide. Endosulfan sulfate is formed through oxidation of endosulfan by bacteria and fungi in the environment, where it is considered a persistent organic pollutant (POP). It accumulates in the liver and gonads of wild silverside fish (O. bonariensis) and is found in higher amounts in mature fish than pre-spawning fish. Levels of endosulfan sulfate in the gills of mature O. bonariensis correlate with increased levels of lipid peroxidation. It is toxic to freshwater fish, including G. affinis, H. formosa, P. latipinna, and P. promelas, with LC50 values ranging from 2.1 to 3.5 µg/L after a 96-hour exposure. Endosulfan sulfate is the main metabolite found in the liver of mice following endosulfan administration at doses of 0.3 and 3 mg/kg. It decreases the levels of glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA), a product of lipid peroxidation, in the liver, but increases MDA in the kidney when administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg.Formal Name: 6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepin, 3,3-dioxide.
