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 carcinogenicity and chronic toxicity potential of di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DEHT) was assessed in F-344 rats (50/sex/dose) by dietary exposure for 104 weeks. Exposure levels of 0, 1500, 6000 or 12,000 ppm resulted in average daily doses of 79, 324 and

Groups of five male and five female rats were fed diets containing from 0% to 2.5% di(2-ethylhexyl)terephthalate (DEHT) or 1.2% di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) for 21 days. Feed consumption and body weight gains were collected and, at study termination, animals were examined

Di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT) is a commercially produced chemical (Kodaflex DOTP) that is used as a general purpose, low-volatility plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride and other polymeric materials. Less than 30 million kilograms of DEHT are produced annually. DEHT is isomeric with

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
