Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) terephthalate
Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) terephthalate (MEHHTP), a hydroxyl metabolite of the phthalate alternative Di-2-ethylhexyl terephthalate (DEHTP), is a liver X receptor α (LXRα) agonist with a binding energy of -7.41 kcal/mol. Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) terephthalate upregulates LXRα downstream targets such as SREBP-1c and FASN and increases lipogenic enzyme activity in hepatocytes, and elevating triglyceride (TG) levels. Mono (2-ethyl-5-hydroxyhexyl) terephthalate is promising for research of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) [1].
