Common NameDiethylphosphate
DescriptionDiethylphosphate is a member of the organophosphate chemical class, characterized by the presence of two ethyl groups attached to a phosphate moiety. Its chemical structure can be represented as (C2H5)2PO4, indicating the presence of two ethyl groups (C2H5) linked to a phosphate (PO4) functional group. In biological systems, diethylphosphate serves as a significant metabolite, particularly in the context of pesticide exposure, where it is often detected in urine as a biomarker for organophosphate pesticide exposure (PMID:39084390 ). It has been implicated in various biochemical pathways, including those related to the metabolism of environmental toxins, as evidenced by studies showing elevated levels of diethylphosphate in patients exposed to multiple environmental toxins (PMID:39419859 ). Additionally, diethylphosphate has been utilized in the development of liposomal formulations to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of certain compounds (PMID:40316874 ). Its role in catalysis has also been highlighted, as it is involved in efficient catalytic systems for formic acid dehydrogenation (PMID:39820207 ). Overall, diethylphosphate is a crucial metabolite with diverse chemical and biological implications.
