Etohexadiol (6,6-dihydroxy-2,4-hexadiene) is an aliphatic alcohol formerly used as an ectoparasiticide and insect repellent, particularly for the control of head lice and mosquitoes. Etohexadiol is no longer approved for human use due to toxicity concerns, primarily neurotoxicity and developmental toxicity identified in animal studies.
Pharmacokinetic parameters for etohexadiol have not been reported in existing peer-reviewed literature or public pharmacokinetic databases for humans, likely due to discontinued clinical use and safety concerns.
