Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester, a major bioactive metabolite of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), exhibiting anti-estrogenic (IC50=125μM) and anti-androgenic effects (IC50=736μM) [1]. Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester impairs DNA methylation, histone modifications and levels of miRNAs and lncRNAs induce alterations in several placental functions[2]. Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester has been widely used to decrease estradiol and progesterone production in preovulatory granulosa cells[3].
In vivo, Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester treatment for 72h significantly inhibited the viability of TK6 cells, with an IC50 value of 80μM[4]. Treatment with 100μM Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester for 24 hours significantly increased the triglyceride levels in HepG2 cells, upregulated the expression of SREBP-1c and ChREBP genes, and enhanced the protein expressions of ChREBP1, ACC, FAS and SCD[5]. Treatment with 200μM Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester for 24 hours significantly inhibited the invasion of HTR-8/SVneo cells and activated the PPARγ pathway[6]. Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester (100μM; 36h) induced apoptosis in p53-silenced L02 cells, along with the up-regulations of Fas and FasL proteins as well as increased the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and Caspase 3, 8, and 9 activities[7].
In vivo, Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester was administered to pregnant female mice for 24 hours by intragastric administration (360mg/kg; twice daily; at 08:30 and 18:30, respectively), which resulted in the loss of germ cells in the testes of the fetal mice, and the apoptosis rate significantly increased[8].

Male mice were caged with females overnight and the day following overnight mating was counted as 0.5 days post coitum (dpc). 720mg/kg Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester was administered by oral gavage (360mg/kg twice a day at 08:30 and 18:30) to pregnant females at 13.5dpc for 24h. Pregnant mice were then killed by cervical dislocation at 14.5dpc, fetuses quickly removed and dissected under a binocular microscope.
