Product Data
Biological target:
Picaridin (Icaridin) is a broad spectrum arthropod repellent. The repellent and deterrent activities of Picaridin involve olfactory sensing in mosquitoes, and ticks, via their interactions with odorant receptor proteins.
In vitro activity:
When the experimental data became least-squares fitted to a Hill function, as detailed in Materials and Methods, the half-maximal concentration (i.e., EC50) required for the stimulatory effect of picaridin on INa(T) or INa(L) observed in these cells was yielded as 32.7 or 2.8 μM, respectively. Overall, the data from these experiments allowed this study to ascertain that the presence of picaridin caused a stimulatory but differential effect on INa(T) and INa(L) in a concentration-dependent manner. Reference: Int J Mol Sci. 2022 Aug 26;23(17):9696. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36077093/
In vivo activity:
Using olfactory-based choice assay this study shows here that the fruit fly is repelled by not only DEET, but also IR3535 and picaridin thus suggesting they might have "generic repellent detector(s)," which may be of practical applications in new repellent screenings. Although the ab3A neuron in the wild type flies responded to picaridin, it was unresponsive to DEET and IR3535. Reference: PLoS One. 2011 Mar 16;6(3):e17705. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21436880/

Note: There can be variations in solubility for the same chemical from different vendors or different batches from the same vendor. The following factors can affect the solubility of the same chemical: solvent used for crystallization, residual solvent content, polymorphism, salt versus free form, degree of hydration, solvent temperature. Please use the solubility data as a reference only. Warming and sonication will facilitate dissolving. Still have questions? Please contact our Technical Support scientists.
