The Uses of Diglycolic acid

Diglycolic acid was used in the preparation of needle-like aragonite particles from calcium nitrate aqueous solutions.

Definition

ChEBI: Diglycolic acid is a dicarboxylic acid.

General Description

Diglycolic acid is a toxic metabolite of diethylene glycol (DEG) responsible for DEG-induced proximal tubular necrosis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Diglycolic acid has antithrombogenic properties and induces vasodilation. It inhibits succinate dehydrogenase activity in human proximal tubule cells.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating vapors.

Purification Methods

Crystallise diglycolic acid from water. [Beilstein 3 IV 577.]
