Development of a Novel Aedes aegypti Repellent: An Integrated Approach Combining In Silico and Bioassays. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
OBP1 plays an essential role in the behavior response of Aedes aegypti. The computational approaches employed herein suggest a compound with repellency activity in the ZINC database, which was confirmed by bioassays. ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti is the most important vector of arboviruses, which are responsible for 3.9 billion cases worldwide.

In Vivo Effects of N,N-Diethyl-Meta-Toluamide (DEET) Exposure on Sinonasal Epithelia in a Murine Model. [PDF]

Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
Abstract Environmental factors, including airborne toxicants, are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis, although the exact mechanism is not fully understood. The purpose of this pilot study is to assess the impact of pesticide, N,N‐diethyl‐meta‐toluamide (DEET), on the sinonasal epithelium using an in vivo murine model ...

Molecular bases of insect odorant receptor function: specificity and evolution. [PDF]

Biol Rev Camb Philos Soc
ABSTRACT Insect odorant receptors (ORs) are a class of chemoreceptors that insects use to detect volatile cues in their environment. In recent years, major advances in the field of structural biology have made it possible to obtain the first structures of insect ORs.

N,N-Diethyl-3-toluamide Formulation Based on Ethanol Containing 0.1% 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin Attenuates the Drug’s Skin Penetration and Prolongs the Repellent Effect without Stickiness

Molecules, 2022
N,N-diethyl-3-toluamide (DEET) is one of the most widely used insect repellents in the world. It was reported that a solution containing 6–30% cyclodextrin (CD) as a solvent instead of ethanol (EtOH) provided an enhancement of the repellent action time ...

AgamOBP1-Directed Discovery of Repellents to Control the Spread of Mosquito-Borne Diseases. [PDF]

ChemMedChem
Toward the discovery of novel mosquito repellents, a library of potential binders of AgamOBP1 (secondary amines) generated from two amines and seven aldehydes was designed aiming to enable interactions with critical amino acids at the DEET‐site and to bridge the DEET‐ and Icaridin sIC‐binding pockets. 1H STD NMR spectroscopy in the presence of AgamOBP1

Microencapsulation of DEET in Solid Lipid Microparticles: production, characterization and safety evaluation [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2022
DEET is considered the gold standard for insect repellent products. However, it behaves as a strong skin permeant. DEET was encapsulated in Solid Lipid Microparticles (SLM) and characterized in terms of morphology, particle size, cytotoxicity and ex vivo

Study of Energy Compensation Techniques in Photovoltaic Solar Systems with the Use of Supercapacitors in Low-Voltage Networks

Energies, 2020
The power generated by photovoltaic solar systems is exposed to high variability of irradiance mainly due to weather conditions, which cause instability in the electrical networks connected to these systems. This study shows the typical behavior of solar

Neurotoxicity and mode of action of N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Recent studies suggest that N, N-diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET) is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and that this action may result in neurotoxicity and pose a risk to humans from its use as an insect repellent. We investigated the mode of action of DEET
