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

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

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes exhibit decreased repellency by DEET following previous exposure. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 DEET (N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide) is one of the most widely used mosquito repellents. Although DEET has been shown to be extremely effective, recent studies have revealed that certain individual insects are unaffected by its presence.

DEET repels ORNery mosquitoes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008 DEET ([N-N]-diethyl-m-toluamide) is widely used around the world as a repellent for mosquitoes and other biting insects. It was originally identified by a structure–activity study using synthetic compounds (1). Recently, a number of new compounds with similar activity [e.g., picaridine (2)] have been identified, but DEET remains the gold standard ...

Use of a Semi-field System to Evaluate the Efficacy of Topical Repellents under user Conditions Provides a Disease Exposure free Technique Comparable with Field Data. [PDF]
, 2014 Before topical repellents can be employed as interventions against arthropod bites, their efficacy must be established. Currently, laboratory or field tests, using human volunteers, are the main methods used for assessing the efficacy of topical ...
