The organochlorine pesticide 1,1'-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene) bis (4-chlorobenzene) (DDT) and four structural analogues (bromopropylate, chlorobenzilate, dicofol and fenarimol) were investigated for their ability to inhibit gap junctional intercellular communication both in the Chinese hamster V79 metabolic co-operation assay and in the scrape-loading/dye-transfer assay in WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells.

Furthermore, strain AKITA showed cross-resistance to dicofol.
The METI resistant strains AKITA and UK-99 showed 2.4- and 1.7-fold enhanced O-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylation (cytochrome P450) activity.

The present study has determined the ability of dicofol, an organochlorine pesticide, to induce cytochrome P450 using rats treated with 1, 10, and 25mg/kg dicofol intraperitoneally for 4 days.

The CYP6A2vSVL enzyme had an enhanced metabolism of DDT, producing dicofol, dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane and dichlorodiphenyl acetic acid.
