Abstract:
Synthetic topical repellents were prepared, following previously reported leads that resulted from intrinsic repellency studies and from Stanford Research Institute SRI computed-coded USDA compounds. The most promising structural area for topical repellency continues to be glycol ether derivatives, although the carbamide, 2,4-thiazolidinedione, and quinoxaline areas are also of interest. Efforts were directed toward polymer formulations of SRI glycol ethers to improve their wash-off characteristics and cosmetic acceptability. These studies range from the typical film-formers to carbowax stick-type formulations. Large samples of two 2,4-thiazolidinediones were synthesized for toxicologic evaluation.
