Unveiling the potential health risks induced by photolysis of insect repellents DEET under simulated sunlight

Water Cycle
N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) is a widely used active ingredient in insect repellents, particularly in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent. Although the photolysis of DEET is inevitably to occur when exposed to sunlight, the potential risks associated

Community Perspectives on Japanese Encephalitis Risk and Prevention in an Endemic Region of Australia

Australian Journal of Rural Health, Volume 34, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito‐borne disease caused by JE virus (JEV) infection, detected for the first time in south‐eastern Australia in 2022. In New South Wales (NSW), detections of JEV in mosquitoes and animal hosts, human JE cases, and climate and environmental considerations have informed which areas are considered ...

Candidate Proficiency Test Chemicals to Address Industrial Chemical Applicability Domains for in vitro Human Cytochrome P450 Enzyme Induction

Frontiers in Toxicology, 2022
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes play a key role in the metabolism of both xenobiotics and endogenous chemicals, and the activity of some CYP isoforms are susceptible to induction and/or inhibition by certain chemicals. As CYP induction/inhibition can bring

Alternative Approaches and Plant‐Based Remedies for Livestock Health Management Among the Batswana of Southern Africa: A Review

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Due to limited access to, and the high cost of conventional veterinary services, Batswana communities often rely on ethnoveterinary practices for livestock health management. This review provides an in‐depth analysis on the ethnoveterinary uses, biological properties and safety assessment of plants utilised in livestock husbandry. A systematic

Mechanistic Insights Into Photocatalytic Materials for Toxic Pollutants: Environmental Remediation of Personal Care Products

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Photocatalytic materials have emerged as promising solutions for environmental applications due to their ability to degrade organic pollutants under sunlight or artificial light. In this review, recent progress on the photocatalytic materials used for the degradation of pharmaceutical personal care products (PPCPs) in environmental ...

Heterogeneity of iridoid biosynthesis in catmints: Molecular background in a phylogenetic context

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 3, Page 694-718, March 2026.
Evolutionary gains and losses of key biosynthetic genes likely resulting from multiple independent evolutionary events explain why certain Nepeta (catnip) species produce both the active, cat‐attracting nepetalactones and sugar‐bound iridoids, while others make only the sugar‐bound forms, and some have lost iridoid production entirely.

The ovipositor cue indole inhibits animal host attraction in Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes

Parasites & Vectors, 2022
Background Mosquitoes are responsible for disease transmission worldwide. They possess the ability to discriminate between different ecological resources, including nectar sources, animal hosts and oviposition sites, a feature mediated by their olfactory

Anticonvulsant-resistant seizures following pyridostigmine bromide (PB) and N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) [PDF]

Toxicological Sciences, 1999
An acute toxic interaction has been described, in which sublethal doses of pyridostigmine bromide (PB) and the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET), when administered concomitantly, resulted in seizures and lethality. To investigate the possible relationships between seizures and lethality and the role of the cholinergic system in this ...

Structure‐Based Screening of Amides with Potential to Overcome Aedes aegypti Insecticide Resistance

ChemistrySelect, Volume 10, Issue 35, September 16, 2025.
Given the great insecticidal potential of compounds containing the amide function, the present study applied the structure‐based virtual screening (SBVS) strategy through docking and molecular dynamics to screen more than 27,000 amides from a ChemBL library and identify potential inhibitors of important Aedes aegypti enzymes that can overcome ...

In-vitro permeation of the Insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and the sunscreen oxybenzone

Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology, 2004
Abstract The permeation behaviours of the insect repellent N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and the sunscreen oxybenzone were assessed in a series of in-vitro diffusion studies, using piglet skin and poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) membrane.
