Neurolathyrism, is a neurological disease of humans, caused by eating certain legumes of the genus Lathyrus.This disease is mainly associated with the consumption of Lathyrus sativus (also known as grass pea, chickling pea, kesari dal, or almorta) and to a lesser degree with Lathyrus cicera, Lathyrus ochrus and Lathyrus clymenum [1] containing the toxin ODAP.
It is commonly called dioctyl maleate (DOM), reflecting the older usage of "octane" to refer to any 8-carbon alkane, straight-chained or branched. The compound is manufactured by treating 2-ethylhexanol with maleic anhydride and an esterification catalyst.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate commonly abbreviated DEHT (Dioctyl terephthalate or DOTP), is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2.It is a non-phthalate plasticizer, being the diester of terephthalic acid and the branched-chain 2-ethylhexanol, which is often generically referred to as octyl.
Docusate is the common chemical and pharmaceutical name of the anion bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate, also commonly called dioctyl sulfosuccinate (DOSS). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Salts of this anion, especially docusate sodium , are widely used in medicine as an emollient laxative and as stool softeners , by mouth or rectally. [ 1 ]
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate or DEHA or DOA is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2 CH 2 CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2.It is the diester of 2-ethylhexanol and adipic acid.It is a colorless oily liquid.
Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, diethylhexyl phthalate, diisooctyl phthalate, DEHP; incorrectly — dioctyl phthalate, DIOP) is an organic compound with the formula C 6 H 4 (CO 2 C 8 H 17) 2. DEHP is the most common member of the class of phthalates, which are used as plasticizers.
Exceptionally, an agent may be classified in this group solely on the basis of limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans. This list is focusing on the hazard linked to the agents. This means that the carcinogenic agents are capable of causing cancer, but this does not take their risk into account, which is the probability of causing a ...
IARC group 3 substances, chemical mixtures and exposure circumstances are those that can not be classified in regard to their carcinogenicity to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
