| Targets |
Triethyl phosphate does not have a specific biological target as it is an industrial chemical rather than a drug. Its mechanism of action as a flame retardant involves the release of phosphorus-containing radicals that interfere with the combustion process. As a plasticizer, it works by embedding between polymer chains, increasing flexibility. Its toxicological effects are primarily due to its interaction with biological systems.

| Additional Infomation |
Triethyl phosphate is a colorless, corrosive, and flammable liquid. It dissolves slowly in water and sinks to the bottom. It is highly irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Triethyl phosphate is a trialkyl phosphate ester, a triethyl phosphate derivative. Its structure is similar to ethanol. Ethyl phosphate is formed by the reaction of diethyl phosphate with water; ethanol is a byproduct.
Other information: Triethyl phosphate is an industrial chemical used as a plasticizer, solvent, and flame retardant. It is also known as TEP. The compound is used in the production of plastics, resins, and coatings. Its CAS number is 78-40-0. |

Note: Listed below are some common formulations that may be used to formulate products with low water solubility (e.g. < 1 mg/mL), you may test these formulations using a minute amount of products to avoid loss of samples.
Injection Formulations
Injection Formulation 1: DMSO : Tween 80: Saline = 10 : 5 : 85 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO stock solution → 50 μL Tween 80 → 850 μL Saline)(e.g. IP/IV/IM/SC) *Preparation of saline: Dissolve 0.9 g of sodium chloride in 100 mL ddH ₂ O to obtain a clear solution. Injection Formulation 2: DMSO : PEG300 :Tween 80 : Saline = 10 : 40 : 5 : 45 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 400 μLPEG300 → 50 μL Tween 80 → 450 μL Saline) Injection Formulation 3: DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90 (i.e. 100 μL DMSO → 900 μL Corn oil) Example: Take the Injection Formulation 3 (DMSO : Corn oil = 10 : 90) as an example, if 1 mL of 2.5 mg/mL working solution is to be prepared, you can take 100 μL 25 mg/mL DMSO stock solution and add to 900 μL corn oil, mix well to obtain a clear or suspension solution (2.5 mg/mL, ready for use in animals).

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.
