1. The hydrolysis of di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) were studied using rat gut homogenate fractions in vitro. Both isomers were hydrolysed by the intestinal fraction; however, DEHP was hydrolysed to 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH) and mono(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (MEHP) in

The industrial plasticizer di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) is used in manufacturing of a wide variety of polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-containing medical and consumer products. DEHP belongs to a class of chemicals known as peroxisome proliferators (PPs). PPs are a structurally diverse group of

Possible human health effects of phthalate plasticizers have been intensely discussed during the last decade. Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), the phthalate acid ester with the largest production volume worldwide, has been substituted by new compounds like Diisononyl 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid (DINCH) or

Di-2-ethylhexyl-terephtalate (DEHT) is a general purpose plasticizer and a structural isomer to di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) being known for its toxicity. Despite the fact that DEHT is used in quite a number of synthetics for medical device production including equipment for
