General description
Diglycolic acid is a toxic metabolite of diethylene glycol (DEG) responsible for DEG-induced proximal tubular necrosis.
Application
Diglycolic acid was used in the preparation of needle-like aragonite particles from calcium nitrate aqueous solutions.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Diglycolic acid has antithrombogenic properties and induces vasodilation. It inhibits succinate dehydrogenase activity in human proximal tubule cells.
