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.AOP Evidence
Interference with thyroid serum binding protein transthyretin and subsequent adverse human neurodevelopmental toxicity
Pentachlorophenol is measured in mammals as parent chemical, hexachlorobenzene, and can bind to TTR, like other halogenated phenols (Marchesini et al 2008; van den Berg 1990). Halogenated phenols, such as PCP, have been implicated as thyroid toxicants (Miller et al 2009); however, it appears only 2,4,6-tribromophenol and pentabromophenol can competitively bind TTR (Weiss et al 2015).
