Phthalic acid mono-2-ethylhexyl ester
MEHP (Mono-2-ethylhexyl phthalate) is the primary bioactive metabolite of DEHP, known for its specific inhibition of CYP17A1 17,20-lyase activity. This suppression of steroidogenesis makes it a critical tool for researching endocrine disruption in both in vitro and in vivo models.
