Product Description
Butopyronoxyl is a mosquito repellent primarily used to repel mosquitoes.
Butopyronoxyl (CAS# 532-34-3) is an insect repellent and mosquito repellent compound. Also known as butyl 3,4-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxo-2H-pyran-6-carboxylate, it is a synthetic repellent used to protect against insect bites. The compound is effective against mosquitoes and other biting insects. Butopyronoxyl is used in research applications for studying insect repellent mechanisms and efficacy. It is intended for research use only and is not for human therapeutic use.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Butopyronoxyl targets the olfactory receptors of insects, particularly mosquitoes, to exert its repellent effects. The compound interferes with the insect's ability to detect host cues such as carbon dioxide, lactic acid, and body heat. By blocking or modulating olfactory receptor function, Butopyronoxyl prevents insects from locating and biting their hosts. The compound's mechanism of action is similar to other synthetic repellents. Further research is needed to identify its specific molecular targets in insect olfactory systems.
ln Vitro
It is true that indalone lessens A's appeal. variegatum to the pheromone, causing A to become repulsed. variegatum in the air stream when it is exhibited alone[1].
In vitro studies of Butopyronoxyl have focused on its efficacy as an insect repellent. The compound's ability to repel mosquitoes and other biting insects has been evaluated using various in vitro assay systems. Its olfactory receptor blocking activity has been characterized using electrophysiological methods. The compound's stability and efficacy have been assessed under various conditions. These in vitro findings support its applications in insect repellent research and development.
ln Vivo
In vivo studies have demonstrated that Butopyronoxyl is effective as an insect repellent in animal models and human subjects. The compound provides protection against mosquito bites when applied to the skin. Its efficacy and duration of action have been evaluated in various in vivo studies. The compound's safety and tolerability have been assessed in animal models. Further research is needed to fully characterize its in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties and to evaluate its efficacy against different insect species.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro assays for Butopyronoxyl typically involve testing its repellent activity using olfactometer or choice-chamber assays. Insects are exposed to the compound and their behavior is monitored to assess repellent efficacy. Electrophysiological methods such as electroantennography are used to measure olfactory receptor responses to the compound. For safety assessment, standard toxicology assays are performed. All assays are performed with appropriate controls and standardized protocols to ensure reproducibility of results.
Cell Assay
In vitro cell-based assays for Butopyronoxyl involve culturing insect olfactory receptor-expressing cells to evaluate its effects on receptor function. Cells are treated with varying concentrations of the compound and receptor activation is measured using calcium imaging or electrophysiological methods. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar colorimetric assays. For safety assessment, mammalian cell lines are treated with the compound and cytotoxicity is evaluated. All experiments are performed in triplicate with appropriate controls to ensure statistical reliability.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal experiments for Butopyronoxyl utilize rodent models to evaluate its insect repellent efficacy and safety. Animals are treated with the compound and exposed to mosquitoes or other biting insects. The number of bites or feeding events is recorded to assess repellent efficacy. For safety studies, animals are treated with the compound and observed for signs of toxicity. Parameters assessed include body weight, skin irritation, and general health. Control groups receiving vehicle alone are included for comparison. All procedures comply with institutional animal care and use committee guidelines.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of Butopyronoxyl reflect its nature as a small synthetic repellent compound. It has a molecular weight consistent with its structure. As a lipophilic compound, it is absorbed through the skin and distributed throughout the body. The compound is metabolized through standard xenobiotic pathways in the liver. Its duration of action as a repellent is limited by its volatility and metabolism. Complete pharmacokinetic profiling including half-life, clearance, and bioavailability would require further systematic studies.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
Non-Human Toxicity Values
Oral LD50 in rats: 7400 mg/kg
Oral LD50 in mice: 11,600 mg/kg
Oral LD50 in rabbits: 5400 mg/kg
Oral LD50 in guinea pigs: 3200 mg/kg
The toxicity profile of Butopyronoxyl has been evaluated in the context of its use as an insect repellent. The compound is generally considered safe for topical application at recommended concentrations. Skin irritation and allergic reactions are possible side effects. Proper handling procedures including use of personal protective equipment are recommended when working with pure compound. The compound is not approved for human therapeutic use and is intended for research purposes only. Long-term toxicity studies would be needed to fully establish its safety profile.

  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
