Ethylene Diamine has also been used in dermatologic preparations, but has been removed from some because of causing contact dermatitis.

When used as a pharmaceutical excipient, after oral administration Ethylene Diamine's bioavailability is about 0.34, due to a substantial first-pass effect.
Less than 20% is eliminated by renal excretion.

Ethylene Diamine-derived antihistamines are the oldest of the five classes of first-generation antihistamines, beginning with piperoxan aka benodain, discovered in 1933 at the Pasteur Institute in France, and also including mepyramine, tripelennamine, and antazoline.

SYNTHESIS OF ETHYLENE DIAMINE:
Ethylene Diamine is produced industrially by treating 1,2-dichloroethane with ammonia under pressure at 180 °C in an aqueous medium.
In this reaction hydrogen chloride is generated, which forms a salt with the amine.
Ethylene Diamine is liberated by addition of sodium hydroxide and can then be recovered by fractional distillation.

Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and triethylenetetramine (TETA) are formed as by-products.
Another industrial route to Ethylene Diamine involves the reaction of ethanolamine and ammonia.

Ethylene Diamine can be prepared in the lab by the reaction of either ethylene glycol or ethanolamine and urea, followed by decarboxylation of the ethyleneurea intermediate.
Ethylene Diamine can be purified by treatment with sodium hydroxide to remove water followed by distillation.
