Seok J, Jee J, Jeon M, Kim D, Chung K, Kim H, et al.
J Toxicol Environ Health A . 2024 Nov; 88(4):162-174. PMID: 39604835
Polyhexamethyleneguanidine phosphate (PHMG), a widely used antimicrobial agent, has been implicated in humidifier disinfectant-associated lung injuries (HDLI). PHMG exposure suppressed interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) activation and interferon-β (IFN-β) expression...

Park Y, Kim H, Kim J, Lee J, Kim Y, Lim J, et al.
Ecotoxicol Environ Saf . 2024 Nov; 287:117222. PMID: 39520742
In this study, we investigated the potential mechanisms by which polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG-p), a known respiratory irritant, may contribute to lung cancer development. Using the adverse outcome pathway (AOP)...
