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)].

Reversible inhibition of the urea cycle and gluconeogenesis by N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1991
Addition of DEET to suspensions of rat hepatocytes completely abolished synthesis of urea from ammonia and production of glucose from lactate. Both activities were fully restored after cells were washed and resuspended in DEET-free medium. These results suggest the DEET-induced impairment is a reversible biochemical defect at a site common to both ...

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.

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).

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.

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.

In vitro skin irritation assessment using EpiDerm™: applicability for updating toxicity information of oxybenzone and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide

Drug and chemical toxicology (New York, N.Y. 1978), 2020
A skin irritation test using in vitro reconstructed human epidermis (RhE) models was established for hazard identification of irritant chemicals in accordance with UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) category.

Electrochemical degradation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide on a boron-doped diamond electrode

Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 2014
Abstract This study investigates the electrochemical oxidation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) on a boron-doped diamond (BDD) anode under different temperatures, current densities, and sample matrixes. For comparison, a commercial Pt electrode and a lab-prepared PbO 2 anode were also tested.

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.
