Description

Hexaethylene glycol monobenzyl ether (HBME) is a molecule that has been used as a pharmaceutical preparation and coating material. HBME has potential use as an anti-inflammatory agent for the treatment of gastrointestinal inflammation, but it must be formulated with other ingredients to do this. HBME can also be used in pharmaceutical formulations, such as antiviral drugs that inhibit the replication of DNA or RNA viruses in cells. HBME also has corrosion inhibiting properties and is used as a coating on metals to prevent corrosion from acidic food, or from water and acid rain. The chemical reacts with fatty acids to form conjugates which are then excreted by the body. These conjugates are not absorbed by the intestines, so they are effective against infections that affect the intestinal tract.
