Abstract:
This disclosure relates to a method for the control or repellency of biting arthropods. The method comprises bringing the biting arthropods into contact with a biting arthropod repellent formulation. The biting arthropod repellent formulation comprises nootkatol separate from, or in combination, or in synergistic combination, with skin or plant derived compounds and compounds structurally similar to them (e.g., ketones, cyclic ketones, esters, gamma or delta lactones, and branched and/or unsaturated carboxylic acids), and/or one or more repellents selected from the group consisting of DEET®, para-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), Picaridin, ethyl 3-[acetyl(butyl)amino]propanoate (IR3535), and other nitrogen-containing repellents including amines, amides, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds. This disclosure also relates to a biting arthropod repellent formulation comprising nootkatol separate from, or in combination, or in synergistic combination, with the skin or plant derived compounds and compounds structurally similar to them, and/or the one or more repellents.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for the control or repellency of biting arthropods, the method comprising bringing the biting arthropods into contact with a biting arthropod repellent formulation, wherein the biting arthropod repellent formulation comprises:\n (I) any combination of nootkatol in combination with one or more of compounds (a), wherein compounds (a) are selected from the group consisting of: (1) alkyl ketones and cyclic ketones, saturated or unsaturated, branched or unbranched, containing from about 6 to about 18 carbon atoms, or any range of carbon atoms within said range; (2) compounds of the structure (A) wherein: R is selected from \u2014OH, \u2550O, \u2014OC(O)R 4 , \u2014OR 6 , and \u2014(OR 6 ) 2 , wherein each R 6  is independently selected from an alkyl group containing from about 1 to about 4 carbon atoms and R 4  is a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbyl group with zero to two double bonds and from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms; X is O or CH 2 , with the proviso that when X is O, R, can only be \u2550O; each Z is independently selected from (CH) and (CH 2 ); y is a numeral selected from 1 and 2; R 1  is selected from H or a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbyl group with zero to two double bonds and from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms; R 2  is selected from H and a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbyl group with zero to three double bonds and from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms; R 3  is selected from H, a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbyl group with zero to three double bonds and from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms, \u2014(CH 2 ) n OH, \u2014C(O)OR 5 , \u2014CH 2 C(O)OR 7 , \u2014CH 2 C(O)R 8 , \u2014C(O)NR 9 R 10 , and \u2014CH 2 C(O)NR 11 R 12 , wherein each of R 5 , R 7 , R 8 , R 9 , R 10 , R 11  and R 12  is independently selected from H and a branched or straight chain, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbyl group with zero to three double bonds and from about 1 to about 15 carbon atoms, and n is n integer of from 1 to 12; the bond between the 2 and 3 positions in the ring structure may be a single or a double bond; and wherein the compounds of structure (A) contain from about 11 to about 20 carbon atoms except where R is \u2550O, X\u2550CH 2  and y is 1 the compounds of structure (A) contain from about 13 to about 20 carbon atoms, and includes optical isomers, diastereomers and enantiomers of the compounds of structure (A); and\n (3) branched or unbranched, straight chain or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated, carboxylic acids containing from about 3 to about 18 carbon atoms or any range of carbon atoms within said range, including isomers thereof; and \n (4) esters of branched or unbranched, straight chain or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated, carboxylic acids containing from about 3 to about 18 carbon atoms or any range of carbon atoms within said range, including isomers thereof; or \n (II) any combination of nootkatol in combination with one or more repellents selected from the group consisting of N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide, para-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), Picaridin, ethyl 3-[acetyl(butyl)amino]propanoate (IR3535), and other nitrogen-containing repellents including amines, amides, and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds.
