Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth Market Indicators

Ethylene glycol monopropyl ether (EGPE) is a colorless, flammable liquid with a slightly sweet odor. It is a solvent used in various applications, including paint thinners, coatings, and adhesives. EGPE is synthesized by reacting ethylene oxide with propanol. The compound is readily absorbed through the skin, and can cause irritation and allergic reactions. It is also known to be a potential reproductive toxicant. EGPE is studied due to its widespread use and potential health risks. Research focuses on its environmental fate, toxicity, and potential for bioaccumulation in various organisms. '
