Chemical compound
Nonylphenols are a family of closely related organic compounds composed of phenol bearing a 9 carbon-tail. Nonylphenols can come in numerous structures, all of which may be considered alkylphenols. They are used in manufacturing antioxidants, lubricating oil additives, laundry and dish detergents, emulsifiers, and solubilizers.[2] They are used extensively in epoxy formulation in North America[3][4] but its use has been phased out in Europe.[5] These compounds are also precursors to the commercially important non-ionic surfactants alkylphenol ethoxylates and nonylphenol ethoxylates, which are used in detergents, paints, pesticides, personal care products, and plastics. Nonylphenol has attracted attention due to its prevalence in the environment and its potential role as an endocrine disruptor and xenoestrogen, due to its ability to act with estrogen-like activity.[6] The estrogenicity and biodegradation heavily depends on the branching of the nonyl sidechain.[7][8][9] Nonylphenol has been found to act as an agonist of the GPER (GPR30).[10]
