Barrozo, Mayara Macedo published the artcileRepellent and acaricidal activity of coconut oil fatty acids and their derivative compounds and catnip oil against Amblyomma sculptum, Product Details of C11H22O2, the main research area is Amblyomma sculptum coconut oil fatty acid catnip repellent acaricidal; Acaricidal activity petri dish bioassay; Amblyomma sculptum; Coconut oil; Larval pack bioassay; Repellency.
This study was carried out aiming to evaluate the repellent and acaricidal activity of major ingredient compounds from coconut oil including their Me ester derivatives and catnip oil against nymphs and larvae of Amblyomma sculptum. Repellent candidates, coconut oil free fatty acids (coconut FFA mainly C12, C10 and C8 acid); lauric acid (C12 acid); capric acid (C10 acid); Me laurate; Me caprate and 10% each of C12, C10 and C8 acid (1:1:1) in lavender oil formulation (CFA in lavender formula) and catnip oil (Nepeta cataria), were screened using a Petri dish bioassay to assess repellency. Catnip oil, Me caprate, Me laurate, and CFA in lavender formulation repelled ticks strongly (P lt 0.05) at almost all times evaluated, with an average of 77.8-100% repellency. Some candidate repellents with consistent strong repellence observed were selected for further evaluation, with coconut CFA in lavender formula showing a repellency lasted up to 7 days, while those of catnip oil and Me caprate were active for 4 and 3 days, resp. For the acaricide test, five concentrations (2.5; 5; 10; 15 and 20 mg/mL) were evaluated using the larval packet test. Only CFA in lavender formula and two Me esters showed acaricidal activity, with Me laurate presenting the strongest toxicity at 15 mg/mL concentration, which was effective against more than 93% of the tested larvae. Catnip oil caused no mortality of A. scultptum larvae in all concentrations tested.
