Chemical Table

?

The Chemical Table lists chemicals associated with a stressor. This table contains information about the User’s term for a chemical, the DTXID, Preferred name, CAS number, JChem InChIKey, and Indigo InChIKey.

Instructions

To add a chemical associated with a particular stressor, next to the Chemical Table click ‘Add chemical.’ This will redirect you to a page entitled “New Stressor Chemical.’ The dialog box can be used to search for chemical by name, CAS number, JChem InChIKey, and Indigo InChIKey. Searching by these fields will bring forward a drop down list of existing stressor chemicals formatted as “CAS- preferred name” “JChem InChIKey – preferred name” or “Indigo InChIKey- preferred name” depending on which field you perform the search. Select an entity from the drop down list and click ‘Add chemical.’ This will return you to the Stressor Page, where the new record should be in the ‘Chemical Table’ on the page.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation leading to uroporphyria

Hexachlorobenzene exposure induces porphyria in mice (Hahn 1988), rats (Mylchreest and Charbonneau 1997) and humans (Cripps et al. 1984).  A review by Smith and Elder (2010) includes numerouse examples of  hexachlorobenzene induced porphyria.
