| MHPG | 3-Methoxy-4-Hydroxy-Phenyl Glycol |
| monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-conjugated asparaginase | <chemical> Used in patients with haematological malignancies Synonym: peg(2)-asp, 2,4-bis(2-methoxypolyethyleneglycol)-6-chloro-s-triazine-conjugated l-asparaginase (26 Jun 1999) |

| monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-superoxide dismutase | <chemical> Pharmacological action: free radical scavengers Synonym: mpeg-sod (26 Jun 1999) |
| diethylene glycol | An organic solvent chemically related to ethylene glycol. Upon metabolic conversion it becomes oxalic acid, which is toxic to the kidney. A sweet, viscous liquid that was used to make the infamous elixir of sulfanilamide that proved fatal to over 100 children in 1937, leading to the establishment of the FDA to monitor drug safety.

| triethylene glycol | C6H14O4; 2,2'-Ethylenedioxybis(ethanol);used in the vapor state as an air-sterilizing agent; toxic to bacteria, fungi, and viruses in very low concentrations in air; variations in the humidity of the air limit the germicidal effectiveness. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ethylene glycol | <chemical> A common ingredient in anti-freeze, very toxic to the liver if ingested (27 Sep 1997) |
| L-glycol dehydrogenase | <enzyme> Catalyses NADPH linked reversible reduction of uncharged vicinal dicarbonyls and alpha-hydroxycarbonyls to l-(+)-glycols Registry number: EC 1.1.1.185 Synonym: l-(+)-glycol-NADP oxidoreductase, alpha-dicarbonyl reductase, l-(+)-alpha-hydroxycarbonyl-NADP oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
