CITRONELLA, ANDIROBA AND BODY OIL BASED BODY MOISTURIZER OF CASHEW - LCC BARK WITH REPELLENT ACTION AGAINST AEDES AEGYPTI MOSQUITO.

摘要

The present invention describes the composition and process of preparing an efficient repellent moisturizing emulsion against aedes aegypti mosquitoes, vectors of high social impact diseases such as dengue and zika virus and chikungunya fever. The advantage of the present invention lies in the fact that the product proposed herein is formulated based on cetostearyl alcohol and polysorbate (polawax), propylene glycol, ketiol, liquid petroleum jelly and natural antioxidants (phenolic compounds) derived from cashew nut shell liquid. lcc, natural and technical, and the constituents, cardanol, cardol acting as bioactive products as potent as commercially available synthetic repellents such as bht and bha. After preparation of emulsions in concentration 1.0% the tests for monitoring the repellent activity of the proposed products were performed. wooden cages measuring 40 cm x 40 cm x 40 cm with screens on their sides were used where the proposed product was homogeneously impregnated in a satisfactory quantity on one side. For each bioassay, 50 female Aedes aegypti copulated mosquitoes, generation 1, rockefeller strain, kept under laboratory conditions were selected. Blood feeding followed the procedure performed by the nucleus of vectors and control of endemics - nuvet. after blood feeding in all tests an effective repellent activity was observed in 90% of the mosquitoes. These results provide good prospects for the use and use of these new repellents to control the aedes aegypti mosquito.
