Rockville, US, 2018-Aug-14 — /EPR Network/ — Mono methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ) is an organic compound and synthetic derivative of hydroquinone. Mono methyl ether of hydroquinone (MEHQ) is also known by names such as mequinole, 4-hydroxy anisole, para-guaiacol, etc. MEHQ is commercially manufactured by the hydroxylation of anisole or by free radical reaction between p-benzoquinone and methanol. MEHQ is widely used in dermatology. MEHQ is the main ingredient in topical drugs which are used for skin depigmentation. The drug is commonly formulated by the addition of an ethanolic solution of 2% MEHQ and 0.01% of tretinoin by mass. The drug is generally prescribed by dermatologists for the treatment of solar liver spots, age spots, or solar lentigines. Low dosage of MEHQ can be used in combination with Q- switched laser to de-pigment the skin of patients having disseminated idiopathic vitiligo. MEHQ is also widely used as a polymerization inhibitor in the manufacturing of various monomers such as acrylics, methacrylics and other acrylates, vinyl acetate monomers, etc., along with unsaturated polyesters. MEHQ is also used as a stabilizer for cosmetics, liquid detergents, and cellulose materials. Besides these applications, MEHQ is also used in the ink industry as a polymerization inhibitor. MEHQ is the building block for agrochemical and organic chemical manufacturing industries. There are certain regulations on the exposure limit for MEHQ. According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the recommended exposure limit for MEHQ is 5mg/m³for an 8-hour workday.
