Adverse CNS effects, including dizziness and seizures, have been reported with lindane. While seizures generally have been associated with ingestion or misuse of lindane, seizures and deaths rarely have been reported following a single application of lindane shampoo or lotion used according to the manufacturers' directions. Infants, children, geriatric patients, patients weighing less than 50 kg, and patients with certain other skin conditions may be at greater risk of serious neurotoxicity than other individuals. Although the relationship to lindane is unknown, headache, pain, and paresthesia have been reported with lindane shampoo or lotion.

In patients with scabies or pediculosis, pruritus (caused by an acquired sensitivity to the ectoparasites and their products) frequently persists for one to several weeks following treatment with the drug; this reaction does not indicate treatment failure and is not an indication for further treatment. Oral antihistamines and/or topical corticosteroids may be used to help relieve pruritus.

For the treatment of patients infested with Sarcoptes scabiei or pediculosis capitis who have either failed to respond to adequate doses, or are intolerant of other approved therapies.
Used as a pancreatic enzyme replacement in pancreatic insufficiency. It is intended to mimic naturally produced human pepsin. Pepsin powder is prepared from the gastric mucosa of pigs, cattle or sheep. In the laboratory, it is primarily used for the unspecific hydrolysis of proteins and peptides in acidic media. In addition, it provides limited hydrolysis of native immunoglobulins, yielding biologically active fragments. In certain supplements, pepsin may be combined with betaine and HCl (hydrochloric acid) to aid in digestion in various gastrointestinal conditions,.
Scabies is a common, highly pruritic infestation of the skin caused by Sarcoptes scabiei (lice). It is a very contagious condition with specific lesions, such as burrows, and nonspecific lesions, such as papules, vesicles and excoriations. The typical areas of the body it affects are finger webs, scalp (hair), wrists, axillary folds, abdomen, buttocks, inframammary folds and genitalia (males). It is characterized by intense night-time itching. Scabies is spread through close personal contact (relatives, sexual partners, schoolchildren, chronically ill patients and crowded communities). Scabies infestations and the corresponding symptoms can be eliminated by killing the scabies with topical insecticides or scabicides. Lindane is a scabicide that is essentially an organochloride insecticide.
Pepsin digests protein. It classified by the FDA that is characterizing enzyme activity is that of a peptide _hydrolase_.

Absorption
Lindane is absorbed significantly through the skin. A mean peak blood concentration of 28 nanograms per mL occurred in infants and children 6 hours after total body application of lindane lotion for scabies.
/MILK/ The present study was conducted to highlight the existing level of organochlorine-pesticides (OCPs) from human milk (n=45) and blood serum (n=40) of female workers who pick cotton in Khanewal District, southern Punjab, Pakistan. Source apportionment, congener-specific analysis, and risk surveillance of OCPs are reported from human milk and blood samples. Levels of OCPs in milk and blood serum samples ranged from 15.7 ppb to 538.3 ppb and from 16.4 ppb to 747.1 ppb, respectively, and were lower than previously published reports from other regions of the globe. Congener-specific analysis revealed that DDTs were predominant, followed by hexachlorocyclohexane, chlordane, and hexachlorobenzene. Calculated results for source apportionment analysis suggested that contamination load was a new input of DDTs as well as the historic use of lindane in the study area. Levels of OCPs in milk and blood serum were significantly (p<0.05) correlated with age, time period of picking cotton, and number of children. Health risk revealed that female workers had risk of cancer among 1 per million; however, noncarcinogenic risks were not considerable.

A 1% lindane cream (Kwell) was applied to skin of 9 voluteers, left on for 12 hours and washed off with soap and water. Plasma concentratioin increased to 10.3 ng/mL (range 2-24 ng/mL).
PMID:6153210 Hosler J et al; J Invest Dermatol 74 (1): 51-3 (1980)
... Serum concentrations of lindane were determined in infants and children with and without scabies infection following application of 1% lindane lotion to the body surface area /for 24 hours instead of the maximum of 12 hours/ prescribed by the label. Studies were performed on 20 infected and noninfected patients who averaged 33 to 64 months of age ... Specimens of blood for determination of lindane concentrations were obtained at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours after topical application of 1% lotion. The highest measured blood concentration from the clinical study was 0.064 ug/mL /at 6 hours/.

Experiments with alpha-, beta-, and gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane showed that the absorption rates of the isomers were approx equal. In 30-day feeding studies with rats, adipose tissue took up the alpha-HCH faster than beta-HCH, and much faster than gamma-HCH. Accumulation of beta-HCH in mammals is related to its low rate of metabolism and transport.

The accumulation of hexachlorocyclohexane, one of the most commonly used chlorinated insecticides, was studied in a high-risk group of people who are exposed during its manufacturing process. The serum HCH concentration was estimated by quantitating its alpha, beta, gamma, and delta-isomers with the help of GLC analysis. Exposed workers involved in maintenance work were found to have 3 times higher HCH residues than the controls, while in the plant operators and supervisors the levels were 5 times higher. The most severely exposed were the handlers who are in direct contact with the insecticide. The level of serum HCH residues in them was found to be about 12 times higher than those in the controls. The percentage composition of the insecticide, with respect to the different isomers, varied up to 20% for the gamma-isomer, up to 30% for alpha-isomer and had between 60%-100% of the beta-isomer in the samples. The serum levels of the insecticides were clearly related to the workers' job-related close contact, intensity, frequency, and the duration of their exposure. The total of HCH residues in the sera studied were in the range of 0.143-1.152 ppm. ...

Pepsin is the first of several enzymes that digest proteins. In the stomach, polypeptide chains bind in the deep active site groove of pepsin, and are then digested into smaller pieces. Following this, a variety of proteases and peptidases in the intestine complete the process. The small fragments, which are amino acids and dipeptides, are then absorbed by cells for use as metabolic energy or construction of new proteins.
Metabolism of gamma-Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) was studied examining 21 workers producing this insecticide. Using gas chromatography in combination with ECD and mass spectrometry 14 mono-, di-, tri- and tetrachlorophenols were identified in the urine samples of the workers. Seven dihydroxychlorobenzenes of still unknown configuration were detected by mass spectrometry. Ten of the more abundant metabolites, di-, tri- and tetrachlorophenols were determined quantitatively in all urine samples. 2,4,6-; 2,3,5- and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol turned out to be the main metabolites of gamma-HCH. They were excreted in nearly equal quantities. ...

Sphingomonas paucimobilis B90A is able to degrade the alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH). It contains the genes linA, linB, linC, linD, linE, and linR, which have been implicated in HCH degradation. In this study, dynamic expression of the lin genes was measured in chemostat-grown S. paucimobilis B90A by RNA dot blot hybridization and real-time reverse transcriptase PCR upon exposure to a pulse of different HCH isomers. Irrespective of the addition of HCH, linA, linB, and linC were all expressed constitutively. In contrast, linD and linE were induced with alpha-HCH (2 mg/liter) and gamma-HCH (7 mg/liter). A sharp increase in mRNA levels for linD and linE was observed from 10 to 45 min after the addition of alpha- or gamma-HCH. Induction of linD and linE was not detectable upon the addition of 0.7 mg of gamma-HCH per liter, although the compound was degraded by the cells. The addition of beta-HCH (5 mg/liter) or delta-HCH (20 mg/liter) did not lead to linE and linD induction, despite the fact that 50% of the compounds were degraded. This suggests that degradation of beta- and delta-HCH proceeds by a different pathway than that of alpha- and gamma-HCH.

d-Hexachlorocyclohexane (d-HCH), one of the prevalent isomers of technical HCH, was enantioselectively dehydrochlorinated by the dehydrochlorinases LinA1 and LinA2 from Sphingobium indicum B90A to the very same d-pentachlorocyclohexene enantiomer. Racemic d-pentachlorocyclohexene, however, was transformed with opposite enantioselectivities by the two enzymes. A transformation pathway based on an anti-1,2-elimination, followed by a syn-1,4-elimination and a subsequent syn-1,2-elimination is postulated.

Lindane is an organochloride insecticide that has similar neurotoxic protperties to DDT. It exerts its parasiticidal action by being directly absorbed through the parasite's exoskeleton (primarily lice, or scabies) and their ova. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA(1)) receptor/chloride ionophore complex is the primary site of action for lindane, and other insecticides such as endosulfan, and fipronil. Blockage of the GABA-gated chloride channel reduces neuronal inhibition, which leads to hyperexcitation of the central nervous system. This results in paralysis, convulsions, and death. Lindane has very low ovicidal activity.
Glands present in the mucous membrane lining of the stomach produce and store an inactive protein named _pepsinogen_. Impulses from the vagus nerve and the hormonal secretions of the hormones _gastrin_ and _secretin_ promote the release of pepsinogen into the stomach, where it is mixed with hydrochloric acid and quickly converted to the active enzyme _pepsin_. The digestive potency of pepsin is highest at the acidic pH of normal gastric juice. In the intestine, the gastric acids are then neutralized, and pepsin is no longer effective. Pepsin, the proteolytic enzyme of the stomach is normally responsible for less than 20% of the protein digestion occuring the gastrointestinal tract. It is an endopeptidase enzyme that metabolizes proteins to peptides. It preferentially hydrolyzes peptide linkages where one of the amino acids is aromatic. Pepsin, like other protease enzymes, is produced from an inactive precursor, _pepsinogen_, which is stored in granule form in the chief cells of the stomach and are released by a process called _exocytosis_. In the digestive tract, pepsin activity only contributes to the partial breakdown of proteins into smaller units called peptides, which then either are absorbed from the intestine into the bloodstream or are broken down further by pancreatic enzymes.
gamma-HCH interacts with cellular membranes and may produce several generalized cytotoxic effects associated with impaired membrane function. In rat renal cortical tubules, glucose uptake and cyclic AMP accumulation were altered by gamma-HCH treatment. Transport of D-galactose and L-leucine across enterocytes was decreased in chickens injected daily with gamma-HCH for 7 days. Rats exposed orally to 5 mg/kg/day technical-grade HCH 5 days/week, for 3-6 months, exhibited significantly decreased levels of phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate in the erythrocyte membrane and cerebrum. An in vitro study showed that gamma-HCH altered the action potential and transmembrane currents in frog heart (atrial) myocytes. gamma-HCH also has been shown to block gap junctional intercellular communication in Sertoli cells by inducing the aberrant endocytosis of Connexin 43 and zonula occludens-1 within Rab5 positive endosomes via the activation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinases. Inhibition of intercellular communication could potentially lead to uncontrolled cell growth and tumor promotion. gamma-HCH inhibited gap junction and intercellular communication in myometrial cell cultures isolated from rats on gestation day 10 by creating an oxidative stress environment. gamma-HCH also inhibited spontaneous phasic contractions in late gestation rat uterus.

Oxidative stress in the liver has been suggested as a mechanism of gamma-HCH-induced hepatotoxicity. This condition is characterized in the rat liver by a reduction in hepatic glutathione content, lipid peroxidation, the microsomal generation of superoxide radical coupled to cytochrome P-450 induction, and a decrement in superoxide dismutase and catalase activity. Dose-dependent inhibition of intercellular communication in cultured rat hepatocytes, with subsequent reversal by addition of vitamin E or superoxide dismutase, indicates oxidative stress as a hepatotoxic mechanism. Species differences exist in the activities of hepatic metabolizing enzymes, and it has been demonstrated that gamma-HCH at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day for 6 days increased the hepatic cytochrome P-450 as well as glutathione-S-transferase in the rat, but not in the rabbit or monkey. Thus, oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity are produced with gamma-HCH treatment in rats, but not in the rabbit and monkey. Inhibition of Mg2+-ATPase activity has also been observed in rat liver tissue, suggesting an ATPase enzyme sensitivity to the action of gamma-HCH. The researchers suggested that some toxic effects appearing in mammals as a result of gamma-HCH exposure may arise from its influence on this ATPase activity. An in vitro study in mammalian CHO-K1 cells indicated that both gamma-HCH and an unspecified HCH isomer mixture induced glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase activities as a defense mechanism against oxidative stress.

In rat cortical neurons, expression of the protooncogene c-fos, which is associated with seizure activity and is induced by elevated intracellular calcium levels, was increased by gamma-HCH treatment but decreased by delta-HCH treatment. Treatment-related changes in c-fos expression suggested that gamma-HCH induces seizures through the activation of calcium channels, while inhibition of calcium channels by delta-HCH results in anticonvulsant effects. ...In a study on the cytotoxic action of delta-HCH and gamma-HCH in cultured rat cerebellar granule neurons, both isomers were found to induce an increase in the free intracellular Ca2+ concentration. ...delta-HCH may exert its action by stimulating a large influx of Ca2+. delta-HCH was found to be more potent and active as a cytotoxic agent then gamma-HCH, and the differences in cytotoxicity and neurotoxic action may be related to their action on the different Ca2+ pools. Other suggestive data concerning mechanisms by which HCH causes neurological effects in animals include enhanced synaptic activity, altered GABA functional activity, and inhibition of, or oxidative damage to Na+- K+-ATPase activity. In general, the mechanism of toxicity of HCH on the nervous system appears to be similar to those of other neurotoxic organochlorine insecticides.

Several isomers of hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) have been shown to be toxic to mammals. Previous studies have revealed that the delta isomer (delta-HCH) was particularly potent toward disrupting Ca2+ homeostasis in a variety of excitable and nonexcitable cells and altering contractility of cardiac muscle. The effects of the delta and gamma isomers of HCH were further investigated on isolated ventricular myocytes from guinea pig and on single cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) Ca2+-release channels from cardiac SR vesicles. Intracellular Ca2+ transients were examined in electrically stimulated cells using the fluorescent dye indo-1, and twitch contractions of myocytes were analyzed using a video-based edge motion detection system. Exposure of myocytes to delta- but not gamma-HCH depressed the peak of intracellular Ca2+ transients and prolonged recovery time. These effects were correlated with the ability of delta-HCH to inhibit the binding of [3H]ryanodine, a conformationally sensitive probe for RyR2 function, to SR preparations (IC50 = 2 and 18 uM for high- and low-affinity interactions, respectively). Measurements of single-channel gating kinetics under voltage-clamp provided direct evidence of a potent isoform-selective activation of RyR2 by delta-HCH. Results from these studies revealed that delta-HCH alters Ca2+ homeostasis and contractility in cardiac myocytes and that the mechanism can be ascribed, at least in part, to a direct interaction with the RyR2 channel complex.

Patch clamp experiments using rat dorsal root ganglia (DRG) neurons showed differential actions of the 4 HCH isomers. Gamma-HCH had a weak potentiating action and a strong inhibitory action on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-induced currents. Delta-HCH had a strong potentiating action and an inhibitory action. Alpha-HCH and Beta-HCH had little or no effect on GABA-induced currents. The differential modulation of GABA response by HCH isomers accounts for variable symptoms of poisoning in insects and mammals. However, somewhat different results were obtained for the effects of HCH isomers on the alpha 1-beta 3-gamma 2S (short splice variants of the gamma 2 subunit) and alpha 6-beta 3-gamma 2S subunit combinations of GABA-A receptors expressed in Xenopus oocytes. GABA responses were inhibited by gamma-HCH, potentiated by alpha- and delta-HCH, and not affected by beta-HCH. Furthermore, the alpha subunit composition had no influence on these effects of HCH isomers. These differences in the responses to chemicals represent an example of the dissimilarity between native receptors and receptors expressed in xenopus oocytes which is often encountered.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid-induced (36)Cl(-) flux /into membrane microsacs/ was inhibited by several cyclodienes and gamma-BHC with the following order of decreasing potency: endosulfan I > endrin I > endosulfan II > dieldrin > heptachlor epoxide > gamma-BHC > heptachlor. The non-insecticidal beta-BHC had no effect, while the IC50 (concn of insecticide that inhibits 50% of the binding of 2 nM (35)S-tert-butylbicyclophosphorothionate to rat brain membranes) values for gamma-BHC and alpha-BHC were 1 and 0.2 uM, respectively.

Alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-HCH) is one of eight structural isomers that have been used worldwide as insecticides. Although no longer produced or used agriculturally in the United States, exposure to HCH isomers is of continuing concern due to legacy usage and persistence in the environment. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies alpha-HCH as a probable human carcinogen and provides a slope factor of 6.3 (mg/kg-day)(-1) for the compound, based on hepatic nodules and hepatocellular carcinomas observed in male mice and derived using a default linear approach for modeling carcinogens. EPA's evaluation, last updated in 1993, does not consider more recently available guidance that allows for the incorporation of mode of action (MOA) for determining a compound's dose-response. Contrary to the linear approach assumed by EPA, the available data indicate that alpha-HCH exhibits carcinogenicity via an MOA that yields a nonlinear, threshold dose-response. In our analysis, we conducted an MOA evaluation and dose-response analysis for alpha-HCH-induced liver carcinogenesis. We concluded that alpha-HCH causes liver tumors in rats and mice through an MOA involving increased promotion of cell growth, or mitogenesis.

The mechanisms of tumor promotion in liver by various xenobiotics of diverse structure are not well understood. However, these tumor promoters share the ability to exert growth-stimulatory effects on hepatocytes. Our laboratory has been utilizing normal rat hepatocytes under defined conditions of primary cultures, to investigate growth-stimulatory actions of liver tumor promoters. We have shown that most, if not all, of the liver tumor promoters tested stimulate hepatocyte DNA synthesis when added in combination with epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, and glucocorticoids. In the present study, /the authors/ sought evidence for the role of the Na(+)/H(+) antiporter and cytoplasmic alkalinization in the direct growth-stimulatory actions of tumor promoters on hepatocytes. Hepatocytes cultured under conditions (bicarbonate-buffered medium) where intracellular pH (pH(i)) was independent of extracellular pH (pH(e)), EGF- and insulin-stimulated rates of DNA synthesis were unaffected by modest changes in pH(e). However, under conditions (HEPES-buffered medium) where pH(i) varied in a linear fashion with pH(e), rates of EGF- and insulin-stimulated DNA synthesis were highly dependent on pH(e). Similarly, 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-stimulated DNA synthesis were pH(e)-dependent but were stimulatory over different pH(e) ranges, suggesting that these promoters may act by distinct mechanisms. Chemicals that are capable of inducing rapid cytoplasmic alkalinization, ammonium chloride (1 and 15 mM) and monensin (0.5 microM), were found to stimulate hepatocyte DNA synthesis. The role of the Na(+)/H(+) antiport in controlling pH(i) of hepatocytes was demonstrated by artificially acidifying 2',7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5,6-carboxyfluorescein acetoxymethyl (BCECF)-loaded isolated hepatocytes with 20 mM sodium acetate and the use of specific inhibitors. Amiloride and its analogues inhibited pH(i) recovery from the acid load in a dose dependent manner and the relative potency of these inhibitors paralleled their K(i) values for the Na(+)/H(+) antiport. At concentrations that stimulate hepatocyte DNA synthesis, some liver tumor promoters phenobarbital (PB) and HCH, were found to cause a rapid rise pH(i) in isolated hepatocytes which was sensitive to amiloride and its analogues. Taken together, our data suggest that activation of Na(+)/H(+) antiport activity may be one mechanism whereby some liver tumor promoters stimulate hepatocytes DNA synthesis.

Delta-HCH altered calcium homeostasis and contractility of cardiac myocytes through interaction with ryanodine receptors. Delta-HCH also induced a profound increase in ionic permeability in lipid bilayers, and the calcium-dependent current produced by delta-HCH was selective for mono-valent cations (K+ >> Cs+ > Na+).

delta-Hexachlorocyclohexane (delta-HCH) interacts with cardiac ryanodine-sensitive Ca2+ channels (RyR2), accounting in part for altered Ca2+ transients and contractility. Analysis of channel gating kinetics in the presence of delta-HCH also revealed a nonfluctuating membrane current that remained even after RyR2 channels were blocked. /The authors/ further elucidated the nature of a direct interaction between delta-HCH and biological membranes by measuring ionic currents across planar lipid bilayers made from defined lipids lacking cellular protein using voltage-clamp. Dimethyl sulfoxide, in the presence or absence of 50 uM ... delta-HCH, produced negligible steady-state current with symmetric 100 mM CsCl in the range of +/-50 mV. However, the addition of 50 uM Ca2+ to the bilayer chamber in the presence of delta-HCH induced a profound increase in ionic permeability ... . Significantly, the permeability increase 1) was proportional with increasing Ca2+ to approximately 600 uM and saturated between 1 and 2 mM Ca2+ regardless of holding potential, 2) occurred only when delta-HCH and Ca2+ were added to the same side of the membrane, and 3) was independent of the order of addition or of the side of the membrane to which delta-HCH and Ca2+ was added. The Ca2+-dependent current produced by delta-HCH was highly selective for monovalent cations (K+ >> Cs+ > Na+), with negligible conductance for Ca2+ or Cl-. In symmetric 100 mM K+, the conductance induced with 50 uM concentration each of delta-HCH and Ca2+ was 4.25 pA/mV. The results show that delta-HCH increases the ionic permeability of phospholipid membranes by two distinct Ca2+-dependent mechanisms: one mediated through RyR and the other mediated by a unique ionophore activity.
