The chloroform fraction of the aqueous extract of the fresh leaves of Vitex negundo by bioactivity guided isolation yielded a pure compound, rotundial (1) which has shown potent mosquito repellent activity. Using spectral data (UV, IR, $^1H\;&\;^{13}C$ NMR and MS) its structure has been elucidated.

전자모기향 매트는 배선피복의 손상, 반단선, 과부하 및 트래킹 등 다양한 원인에 의하여 발화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자모기향 매트의 구조, 발열체인 PTC서미스터(Positive temperature coefficient thermistor) 및 화재현장에서 수거한 전자모기향 매트 잔해의 현상학적 특징을 관찰하고 동일 제품의 PTC 서미스터를 재현 발화 실험을 한 후 각각에 대하여 비교 분석한 결과 발열판의 용융형태와 PTC서미스터의 파열형태 등이 동일하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Purpose : We will develop the distribution method of wide oil extract technology to develop repellent using this technology and study mosquito repellent persistence. Research design, data and methodology : A positive control group containing purified water, ethanol and picaridin was prepared, and the experimental control group was prepared in the same proportion as the positive control group, and 0.6% of broad oil was added. The results were summarized using the calculation method according to the avoidance effect and statistically tested by t-test using the excel statistics program. Results : Experiments on skin surface area and voice control of participants showed that men had 8.9% wider skin surface area than women, and voice control tests showed that women were bitten by mosquitoes five times more than men. Both the positive and the experimental control groups had a valid duration of up to three hours, but from the time of five hours, the positive control group had 77% and the experimental control had 90%, indicating a difference of 14.4% over the positive control group. Conclusions : The mosquito repellents developed in this study on the basis of safety and continuity are cost-effective in terms of mosquito repellent, and in addition fragrance, odor removal, perfume, ink, skin care and massage effect.

The repellent activity of methanol extracts from 8 aromatic medicinal plant species and a steam distillate against blood-starved Aedes aegypti (L.) females was laboratory examined by skin test and compared with that of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (deet). Reponeses varied according to Plant species. At a dose of $0.1mg/\textrm{cm}^2$, potent repellency against adult mosquitoes was obtained with extracts of Cinnamomum camphora (94.1 %) Cinnamomum cassia bark (91.2%), Eugenia caryophyllata flower bud (72.2%), and Tilia amurensis (69.4%). Repellent activity of these plant extracts was comparable to that of deet (83.4%). The plants described merit further study as potential mosquito-repellent agents.

[ $\alpha$ ]-Terpinene has been known as a repellent against the mosquito Culex pipiens pallens Coquillett based on a human forearm bioassay. $\alpha$-Terpinene showed significantly greater repellency than a commercial formulation, N, N-diethyl-m-methylbenzamide (deet). In this study, skin and eye sensitivity of $\alpha$-terpinene (2%) was examined with bioassays using white New Zealand rabbits. There were somewhat gross and histological changes observed in these treatments. Eye irritancy assays examined gross changes to cornea, iris and conjuctiva, and histological changes to smear of ocular discharge and eye tissue. Treated rabbits were divided into two cohorts, a saline washed cohort (W) or a non-washed cohort (NW). Opacity of cornea and redness, chemosis and discharge of conjuctiva were observed in both cohorts, but disappeared within 4 and 10 days in W and NW, respectively. Main components of ocular discharges were fibrin, epithelial or epitheloid cells, lymphoid cells, erythrocytes and granulocytes. These abnormal cellular components disappeared within 4 days and 10 days in W and NW, respectively. No permanent histological differences were observed between the two cohorts. However, severe irritation was determined as 57.2 of I.I.O.I value on the first day after treatment. These findings indicate a spray-type solution containing 2% $\alpha$-terpinene may serve as an alternative mosquito repellent and further studies need to reduce the eye irritation with formulation changes.

Eucalyptus oils are widely used as spices, perfume industrial materials, food flavorings, and medicines. Several types of Eucalyptus oils also have insecticidal activity and as carminative. This study investigated the chemical composition, insecticidal (larvicidal and repellent) activity of E. urophylla oil against filarial mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. E. urophylla oil was obtained from fresh leaves by water-steam distillation with oil yield 1.08%. E. urophylla oil in this study had no color (clear), has odor (typical eucalyptus), with specific gravity 0.941; refractive index 1.465; miscibility in 70% ethanol 1 : 3; and optical rotation (-) $5.83^{\circ}$. The major compounds of the oil were ${\alpha}$-pinene (11.73%), 1,8-cineole (49.86%), ${\beta}$-ocimene (6.25%), ${\gamma}$-terpinene (9.11%), and ${\alpha}$-terpinyl acetate (7.63%). The result showed the excellent insecticide activity against C. quinquefasciatus. The oil provided larvicidal activity with $LC_{50}$: 80.21 ppm and $LC_{90}$: 210.18 ppm, and repellent activity with $IC_{50}$: 0.82% and $IC_{90}$: 4.88%. The present study showed the effectiveness of E. urophylla as natural insecticide against C. quinquefasciatus, the mosquito vector of filariasis.

본 연구에서는, 5가지 식물의 메탄올 추출물을 이용하여 모기기피 효과 실험을 진행하고 누드 쥐를 모델로 하여 흰줄숲모기에 대한 모기기피제의 유효용량 및 유효시간을 평가하였다. 그리고 식물의 휘발성분을 GC-MS로 분석하였다. 유효용량은 개박하가 10, 50, 100, 200 ㎍/mL에서 72.9, 83.7, 86.4, 97.3%의 효율로 가장 높았다. 누드 쥐를 대상으로 한 유효시간 연구에서는 5가지 식물의 메탄올 추출물 중 개박하, 개다래 및 개똥쑥이 90.5%로, 30분까지만 지속하였다. 각 식물의 휘발성분을 분석한 결과, 애플민트 28개 성분, 개다래 19개 성분, 개똥쑥 27개 성분, 개박하 26개 성분, 민들레 19개 성분이 확인 되었다. 특히 모기기피제의 유효 성분으로 알려진 네페탈락톤(nepetalactone)이 개박하의 휘발성분 중 한 성분으로 확인 되었다(27.95 mg/Kg). 본 연구결과는 다양한 휘발성분을 함유한 식물을 이용한 모기기피제 재료로서 가능성을 제시한다.

식의약소재로서 석창포의 활용성을 조사하고자 석창포 추출물의 모기에 대한 기피효과를 시험한 결과 모기를 방사한 장소에서 추출물에 노출된 공간으로 이동한 모기 마리수 비율은 추출물을 함유하지 않은 공간으로 이동한 모기 마리수 비율에 대비하여 현저하게 낮았다. 또한, 방사한 공간에 남아 있는 모기 마리수 비율은 석창포 추출물을 함유하지 않은 공간으로 이동한 모기 마리수 비율에 비해 낮았다. 이는 모기가 석창포 추출물을 기피하는 경향에서 비롯된 결과임을 의미하였다. 석창포 추출물의 모기기피 활성성분을 조사하고자 추출물을 GC/MS 분석한 결과 주요 성분은 ${\beta}$-asarone으로 밝혀졌다. 시판중인 asarone을 이용하여 기피실험을 실시한 결과 ${\alpha}$-asarone과 ${\beta}$-asarone 모두 기피활성을 보였으며 ${\beta}$-asarone이 ${\alpha}$-asarone에 비해 기피활성이 높았다. 이러한 결과는 석창포 추출물이 친환경적으로 모기를 제어하기 위한 식의약소재로 활용될 수 있음을 의미하였다.

DEET, N,N'-diethyl-m-toluamide, is the most commonly used mosquito repellent. However, it can easily permeate through skin leading to toxic effects. A recent study showed that the ortho analogue of DEET showed enhanced repellency with reduced permeation compared to the commercially used meta analogue. Thus, in order to understand the differences in properties and effectiveness among the m-, o- and p-analogues of DEET, an HPLC-UV method was developed for separately analyzing the three analogues. Moreover, stability profiles at temperatures ranging from $30^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$ as well as pH ranging from pH 3 to pH 9 have been determined. All three analogues were stable with no degradation observed during the 5 day period. o-DEET therefore could be further developed into a safer and more effective mosquito repellent.
