Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and mono-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (MEHP) were administered PO or IP to pregnant ICR mice at varying doses on days 7, 8, and 9 of gestation. In groups given DEHP orally, resorptions and malformed fetuses increased significantly at 1,000 mg/kg. Fetal weights were also significantly suppressed. Anterior neural tube defects (anencephaly and exencephaly) were the malformations most commonly produced. No teratogenic effects were revealed by IP doses of DEHP and PO or IP doses of MEHP, although high doses were abortifacient and lethal to pregnant females. Thus DEHP is highly embryotoxic and teratogenic in mice when given PO but not IP. The difference in metabolism, disposition, or excretion by the route of administration may be responsible for the difference in DEHP teratogenicity. Although MEHP is a principal metabolite of DEHP and is several times more toxic than DEHP to adult mice, it seems that MEHP and its metabolites are not teratogenic in ICR mice.
