Monoethyl Phthalate (MEP) is a phthalic acid monoester resulting from the condensation of one of the carboxy groups of phthalic acid with ethanol. It is a derivative of benzoic acid and one of the metabolites of diethyl phthalate (DEP). It has been detected in multiple biofluids, such as urine and saliva therefore, it serves as a biomarker for exposure to DEP. Phthalate esters like Monoethyl Phthalate are used as plasticizers in various industrial applications. Phthalates, including DEP and its metabolites like Monoethyl Phthalate, have been studied for their potential as endocrine-disrupting chemicals that could interfere with hormone systems.
