Description

• General description: Dipentyl phthalate (DPeP) belongs to phthalate group, and is a dialkyl or aryl/alkyl diesters of phthalic acid.[1] It may be prepared from phthalic anhydride along with n-pentanol.[2]
• Application: Biologically relevant reductions in fetal testosterone and Insl3 induced by in utero exposure to high levels of di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) in male rats: Dipentyl phthalate′s structural similarities to DINP underpin studies on phthalate exposure′s impacts on male reproductive health, providing insights into potential risks and mechanisms of toxicity in developmental stages (Earl Gray L Jr, 2023). Exposure to dipentyl phthalate in utero disrupts the adrenal cortex function of adult male rats by inhibiting SIRT1/PGC-1α and inducing AMPK phosphorylation: This study uses dipentyl phthalate to examine the adverse effects of phthalate exposure on adrenal gland function, contributing to a deeper understanding of metabolic disruptions (Chen et al., 2023). Determination of 15 phthalic acid esters based on GC-MS/MS coupled with modified QuEChERS in edible oils: This research demonstrates the utility of dipentyl phthalate in method development for detecting phthalates in food matrices, enhancing food safety assessments (Wang et al., 2022). Development of a putative adverse outcome pathway network for male rat reproductive tract abnormalities with specific considerations for the androgen sensitive window of development: Dipentyl phthalate is investigated for its role in developmental toxicity, aiding in the construction of models predicting reproductive health effects from chemical exposures (Palermo et al., 2021).
