01
Overview
Epoxy resins are a class of reactive prepolymers and polymers containing epoxide groups, widely used in industrial, dental, and medical applications due to their strong adhesive properties and chemical resistance (Wikipedia). They are not biological targets for therapeutic intervention; rather, they are synthetic materials formed by the cross-linking of epoxide components with hardeners (PubChem). In a medical context, they are primarily recognized as significant contact allergens that can cause occupational health issues such as allergic contact dermatitis and asthma (PubMed, PMID: 30230106). While they are used in medical devices and dental sealants, they do not possess intrinsic biological functions or serve as receptors for drug action. Consequently, they are classified as materials of toxicological and dermatological concern rather than therapeutic targets.
