General description
Ethyl propionate is a model for studying the fatty acid ethyl esters which are used as first-generation biodiesel.
Application
Ethyl propionate was used to study the effect of its gavage administration on gastric toxicity in male F344 rats.
Ethyl propionate, when used for contact dissolution of cholesterol gallstones, shows reduced side effects (attributable to increased blood levels) in piglets when compared to methyl tert-butyl ether.

Earlier studies conducted in this laboratory demonstrated that gavage administration of ethyl acrylate caused pronounced gastric toxicity in rats given single or repeated doses. The current studies were undertaken to investigate the structural, metabolic, and physical basis of this chemically

We performed experiments in anesthetized piglets with two cholesterol gallstone solvents, methyl tert-butyl ether and ethyl propionate, to determine whether blood levels of either solvent would increase during gallbladder instillation of these solvents under conditions simulating gallstone dissolution. The solvent
