Introduction of 4940-11-8 :

Ethyl maltol (2-Ethyl-3-hydroxy-4H-pyran-4-one) is an orally active and important food additive and flavor enhancer. Ethyl maltol is less toxic to rats and dogs. Ethyl maltol can enhance copper-mediated cytotoxicity and induce apoptosis in lung epithelial cells[1][2][3][4]. In Vitro:Ethyl maltol (3 mM; 24 h) induces cell apoptosis and leads to oxidative stress and DNA damage in copper traeated lung epithelial cells[1]. In Vivo:Ethyl maltol (oral administration; 50-1000 mg/kg; 90 days-2 years) is safe in rats and dogs, and the toxicity (such as liver and kidney function impairment, hemolysis) is less than the homolog maltol[2].
