Somewhat serendipitously, we observed that 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) inhibition by a plant extract was in part due to the presence of di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate as a contaminant. Since modulation of lipoxygenase activity by phthalate esters does not appear to be well known, we decided to study this effect further. The results are reported in this communication.
