Endrin aldehyde is an organic compound that belongs to the class of organochlorines. It is an environmental pollutant that is used in the production of insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. It acts by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is responsible for the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This inhibition leads to an accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system, resulting in a range of toxic effects. Endrin aldehyde has also been found to bind to certain proteins, thus altering their function. All of this leads to carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. Scientific research utilizing this compound usually relates to toxicology.
