TCDD and thyroxine have common molecular reactivity properties which enable them to present a planar face and lateral halogens in interactions with proteins. These molecular properties are consistent with the structure-toxicity relationship for TCDD and related compounds. Biological evidence is discussed including preliminary studies on the effects of TCDD exposure on tadpole growth and development which is consistent with the possible thyroxine-like activity of TCDD. The work suggests the possibility that toxicity is at least in part the expression of potent and persistent thyroid hormone activity (responses induced by TCDD which qualitatively correspond to those mediated by thyroid hormones). A mechanism for toxicity is proposed which involves receptor proteins; the planar aromatic system controls binding to cytosolic proteins and halogen substituents regulate binding to nuclear proteins. This simple model based on molecular reactivity sheds light on the diversified effects of TCDD and related compound toxicity and on certain thyroid hormone action. The model also permits predictions to be made with regard to the toxicity and thyroid hormone activity of untested compounds. In addition, the model suggests a general mechanism for hormone action based on metabolically regulated differential and cooperative protein receptor binding events in cellular compartments which can explain agonism, antagonism and potentiation within the framework of receptor occupancy theory.
