Talk:Linalool

message: The structure of this compound is reminiscent of ethanol, GHB and GABA itself. Presumably this explains the reported anxiolytic effect of lavender? Would someone who knows more about biochemistry than me maybe add something about this? --81.154.190.216 (talk) 23:32, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Insecticide

message: :This section was removed by me because the application seems doubtful, or at best minor and/or supported by flimsy refs. "In addition, linalool is used as an insecticide against flea, fruit fly, and cockroach. It can also be used as a method of pest control for codling moths. Linalool has a synergistic effect with the codling moth's pheromone called codlemone, which increases attraction of males. Linalool is used in some mosquito-repellent products; however, the U.S. EPA notes that "a preliminary screen of labels for products containing [l]inalool (as the sole active ingredient) indicates that efficacy data on file with the Agency may not support certain claims to repel mosquitos."" --Smokefoot (talk) 21:23, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: =Removed section on insect uses

message: I've removed this comment, "Linalool is a specially allergic inducing component and should be avoided," because it is unsourced and non-NPOV.  If a reliable source concerning the ability of linalool to induce allergies can be found, it should be added back in (as a more neutral statement).  --Ed (Edgar181) 17:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Many strains of Cannabis have been tested to determine their terpene make up and certain strains have been shown to contain high levels of Linalool, such as this one: http://analytical360.com/m/flowers/220975. Does this merit inclusion in plants containing Linanlool?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.164.188.243 (talk) 23:05, 5 June 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Diffficult to establish that linalool specifically would be toxic to pets. Needs a WP:SCIRS source, but I found no such studies listed on PubMed or Google Scholar. Zefr (talk) 18:40, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

message: - the emphasis on just half-life in vivo seems odd, and the sources you have used in your edits are preliminary research in MDPI journals suspected of predatory publishing practices; WP:CITEWATCH. See the PubChem article for more properties and sources. Zefr (talk) 01:48, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: A lot of people take Silexan lavender oil preparation for anxiety and linalool is the main component of it (long blog on it here ). Silexan is approved in Germany for anxiety and there are a number of RCTs showing it is about as effective as a benzo. The half-life is really useful to know. I take your points though. MDPI is borderline predatory in my opinion, but I personally am comfortable citing MDPI journals here and in my research. PubChem just references animal studies. You are right that study I first cited on skin absorption during massage was from a crap journal and I should never have cited it. PubChem notes linalool applied to mouse skin is not absorbed after two hours.  Danski14(talk) 16:43, 19 November 2022 (UTC)
