phthalic acid

Phthalic acid (1,2-Benzenedioic acid) is an aromatic dicarboxylic acid. It is a human xenobiotic metabolite.

Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (Phthalic Acid Monooctyl Ester) is a major bioactive metabolite of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), which inhibits the 17,20 lyase activity of CYP17. The Cyp17a1 gene is specifically targeted by MEHP, explaining the MEHP-induced suppression of steroidogenesis observed.

Monoisobutyl phthalic acid (MiBP) is a metabolite of phthalate found in human semen and meconium.

Ditridecyl phthalate is a kind of phthalate ester. Phthalate esters are esters of phthalic acid and are mainly used as plasticizers to soften polyvinyl chloride. They can be found in many different kind if products, including glues, building materials, pe

Terephthalic acid, an isomer of the three phthalic acids, serves as a precursor to the polyester PET, which is utilized in manufacturing plastic bottles and clothing.
