Biodegradation of the Insecticide N,N-Diethyl-m-Toluamide by Fungi: Identification and Toxicity of Metabolites

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2005
Fungi (Cunninghamella elegans ATCC 9245, Mucor ramannianus R-56, Aspergillus niger VKMF-1119, and Phanerochaete chrysosporium BKMF-1767) were tested to elucidate the biologic fate of the topical insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET). The elution profile obtained from analysis by high-pressure liquid chromatography equipped with a reverse ...

Interactions of Bovine Brain Tubulin with Pyridostigmine Bromide and N,N′-Diethyl-m-Toluamide

Neurochemical Research, 2000
Pyridostigmine bromide (PB), an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, has been used as a prophylactic for nerve gas poisoning. N,N'-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is the active ingredient in most insect repellents and is thought to interact synergistically with PB.

N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide–Containing Microcapsules for Bio-Cloth Finishing

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
To obtain long-duration protection from mosquitoes using insect repellent N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), this compound was incapsulated in situ during the graft copolymerization of butyl acrylate onto chitosan in an aqueous solution. Morphology of microcapsules was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, scanning probe microscopy, and ...

Assessment of Efficiency of Repellent Formulations with N,N‐diethyl‐m‐toluamide in Laboratory Conditions

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1999
SynopsisThe affinity of N,N‐diethyl‐m‐toluamide) (DEET) for various polymers that are potential inert carriers (PEG, PVP, NaCMC, PAA) was studied. Mixtures of DEET and the polymers were prepared and analysed for DEET vapour release using head space analysis. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) showed the highest affinity for DEET.

Seizure following brief exposure to the insect repellent N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1992
A 5-year-old boy with a history of mild developmental delay experienced a major motor seizure at day camp after topical application that morning of the insect repellent Muskol and a later application of OFF [both contain N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET)].

Absorption and evaporation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide from human skin in vitro

Toxicology and Applied Pharmacology, 2005
The penetration of DEET through split-thickness cadaver skin was measured in non-occluded Franz cells placed either in a fume hood or on a laboratory workbench. DEET, dissolved in a small volume of ethanol and spiked with (14)C radiolabel was applied to skin at doses from 0.02 to 11000 microg/cm(2).

Absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of N,N-diethyl-M-toluamide in the rat.

Drug Metabolism and Disposition, 1996
This study was conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of the personal insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) after oral or dermal administration of [14C]DEET in the rat.

Kinetic and mechanistic investigation of photocatalytic degradation of the N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide

Chemical Engineering Journal, 2013
Abstract Analytical and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic methods were systematically used for the kinetic and mechanistic investigation of the photocatalytic degradation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), in aqueous TiO2 suspensions under simulated solar light.

Removal of the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) by laccase-mediated systems

Bioresource Technology, 2013
Numerous efforts have been made to remove emerging trace organic contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). This study examined the removal of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) by Trametes versicolor laccase and its laccase-mediator systems. Experimental results showed that DEET was poorly removed by laccase alone.

Enzyme Induction and Cytotoxicity in Human Hepatocytes by Chlorpyrifos and N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET)

Drug Metabolism and Drug Interactions, 2008
Xenobiotics, including drugs and environmental chemicals, can influence cytochrome P450 (CYP) levels by altering the transcription of CYP genes. To minimize potential drug-pesticide and pesticide-pesticide interactions it is important to evaluate the potential of pesticides to induce CYP isoforms and to cause cytotoxicity in humans.
