Abstract
Description
Human pest repellent
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a pest repellent for human use that can be used on the human body, and more particularly to a pest repellent for human use that has excellent stability over time despite containing a reduced amount of surfactant and does not require shaking before use.
[0002] Many conventional skin repellents for mosquitoes and other pests contain ethanol and are used in liquid form. Liquid-form products often drip during use, making them difficult to apply evenly to the skin. Furthermore, the high amount of ethanol contained in repellents can cause irritation, dryness, and tightness on the skin. Therefore, technological developments have been made to emulsify and disperse hydrophobic repellent active ingredients in water without incorporating ethanol. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a method for emulsifying and dispersing a repellent active ingredient using at least one nonionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil and fatty acid polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil. Patent Documents 2 and 3 also propose a method for emulsifying and dispersing a repellent active ingredient using a three-phase emulsification method.

[0004] However, Patent Document 1 contains a nonionic surfactant, which may cause irritation to people. Patent Document 2 has the advantage of not requiring a conventional surfactant, making it less irritating to people, but requires the preparation of closed vesicles formed from an amphiphilic substance that spontaneously forms closed vesicles or particles of a polycondensation polymer having hydroxyl groups, and special processes are required to prepare them. Patent Document 3 separates into two layers before use due to coacervation (not oil-water separation due to emulsion destabilization, but differences in apparent liquid layers due to differences in specific gravity of individual emulsified particles), and requires shaking the container to mix before use.
[0005] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above points, and its object is to provide a pest repellent for human use that has excellent stability over time and does not require shaking when used.
[0006] To achieve the above object, one aspect of the present disclosure provides a pest repellent for human use that can be used on the human body, and the pest repellent for human use contains, for example, an active repellent ingredient (a), a diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b), and water.
[0007] The repellent active ingredient (a) may be, for example, at least one selected from the group consisting of icaridin, DEET, IR3535, and p-menthane-3,8-diol.
[0008] The concentration of the repellent active ingredient (a) may be in the range of 3% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less.
[0009] The diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b) may be, for example, dilauroylglutamic acid lysine salt.
[0010] The concentration of the diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b) may be in the range of 0.0009% by mass or more and 0.5% by mass or less.
[0011] The pest repellent for human use may further contain a thickener (c) as an optional component. The concentration of the thickener (c) may be in the range of 0.01% by mass or more and 5.0% by mass or less.
[0012] The pest repellent for human use may further contain a polyhydric alcohol (d) as an optional component. The concentration of the polyhydric alcohol (d) may be 15% by mass or less.
[0013] According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a pest repellent for human use that has excellent stability over time and does not require shaking when used, despite the reduced amount of surfactant blended.
[0014] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. Note that the following description of preferred embodiments is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the present invention, its applications, or its uses.

[0033] <Concentration of each component> The lower limit of the concentration of the repellent active ingredient (a) is 3 mass% or more, preferably 5 mass% or more, based on the total mass of the pest repellent for human use. If the concentration of the repellent active ingredient (a) is equal to or more than the above lower limit, the repellent effect against pests is more easily exhibited when the pest repellent for human use is applied to the skin.
[0034] The upper limit of the concentration of the repellent active ingredient (a) is 30% by mass or less, preferably 25% by mass or less, and more preferably 20% by mass or less.

By setting the concentration range of the polyhydric alcohol (d) to 15% by mass or less, the pest repellent for human use becomes a uniform emulsion, and the emulsified state can be stably maintained for a long period of time.
[0038] <Target pests of human pest repellents> In addition to mosquitoes, target pests of human pest repellents include black flies, horseflies, midges, stable flies, house mites, bedbugs (cimex lectularius), ticks, fleas, chiggers, land leeches, midges, moth flies, house ants, etc. The human pest repellents also have a repellent effect against these pests.
[0039] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. The preparation methods in the examples are also merely examples, and other preparation methods may also be used.
[0040] <Production (Preparation) Method of Examples and Comparative Examples> (Examples 1 to 13, Comparative Examples 1 to 5) A carboxyvinyl polymer is dissolved in ion-exchanged water and neutralized to pH 7 using a 1% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Then, sodium dilauroyl glutamate lysine is added and the mixture is heated to 70°C. While stirring the aqueous phase at 5000 rpm using a homomixer, the repellent active ingredient (a) heated to 70°C is added and the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes.
[0041] Examples 14 to 21 A carboxyvinyl polymer is dissolved in ion-exchanged water and neutralized to pH 7 using a 1% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Then, sodium dilauroyl glutamate lysine and a polyhydric alcohol (d) are added, and the mixture is heated to 70° C. While stirring the aqueous phase at 5000 rpm using a homomixer, icaridin heated to 70° C. is added, and the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes.
[0042] Examples 22 to 26: Thickener (c) is dissolved in ion-exchanged water, and sodium dilauroyl glutamate lysine is added. When the thickener is a carboxyvinyl polymer, it is dissolved in ion-exchanged water, neutralized to pH 7 with a 1% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, and then sodium dilauroyl glutamate lysine is added. While stirring the aqueous phase at room temperature at 5,000 rpm using a homomixer, icaridin at room temperature is added, and the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes.
[0043] Comparative Example 6 A pest repellent for human use in Comparative Example 6 was prepared by mixing 10% by mass of DEET, 40% by mass of ethanol, and 50% by mass of ion-exchanged water.
[0044] The "balance" of ion-exchanged water in Tables 1 to 5 indicates the amount of ion-exchanged water that makes the total amount of the human pest repellent 100% by mass. By using diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b), an emulsion-based repellent can be easily prepared. The above-described preparation method can also be applied to repellent active ingredients (a) other than DEET and icaridin. The same applies to diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b).

[0049]
[0050] <Stability Test Evaluation> The pest repellents for human use (Examples 1 to 26, Comparative Examples 1 to 5) prepared by the above-mentioned preparation methods were each stored for one month at 50° C. The condition (appearance) of each pest repellent for human use immediately after preparation and after one month of storage was visually evaluated, and the stability of the pest repellent for human use was evaluated according to the following criteria (stability at 50° C. for one month).
[0051] The viscosity of the human pest repellents was measured using a B-type viscometer TVB-10 (manufactured by Toki Sangyo Co., Ltd.). Rotors M4, THM1 to THM3 were used depending on the viscosity of each human pest repellent, and the viscosity was measured at 12 rpm after 60 seconds. pH was measured using a pH meter LAQUAF-72 (manufactured by Horiba, Ltd.).
[0052] (Evaluation criteria for stability) ◯: No separation, uniformly emulsified and dispersed.
[0053] △: Relatively large oil droplets are present but not separated.
[0054] ×: Separated into two layers.
[0055] The results of the stability tests are shown in Tables 1 to 5. In Examples 1 to 26, the human pest repellents did not separate immediately after preparation and after one month of storage at 50°C, and were uniformly emulsified and dispersed, or did not separate even if relatively large oil droplets were present, whereas in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, the human pest repellents separated into two layers.
[0056] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the human pest repellents of Examples 1 to 8 were able to emulsify and disperse the repellent active ingredient (a) when the concentration of the repellent active ingredient (a) was in the range of 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less, and the stability test results after one month were also good. Other repellent active ingredients (a) could also be emulsified and dispersed in the range of 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less. On the other hand, as in Comparative Examples 1 to 4, when the concentration of the repellent active ingredient (a) was 40% by mass or more, the human pest repellent separated into two layers immediately after preparation or after one month of storage at 50°C. Similarly, when the other repellent active ingredient (a) was 40% by mass or more, the human pest repellent separated into two layers immediately after preparation or after one month of storage at 50°C.
[0057] As shown in Table 3, the human pest repellents of Examples 9 to 13 were able to emulsify and disperse the repellent active ingredient (a) when the diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b) concentration was in the range of 0.0009% by mass or more and 0.45% by mass or less, and the stability test results after one month were also good. Other repellent active ingredients (a) could also be emulsified and dispersed in the range of 0.0009% by mass or more and 0.45% by mass or less. Meanwhile, when the diacylglutamic acid lysine salt (b) concentration was 0.9% by mass or more, as in the case of the human pest repellent of Comparative Example 5, the human pest repellent separated into two layers after one month of storage. Similarly, when the other repellent active ingredients (a) were 0.9% by mass or more, the human pest repellent separated into two layers after one month of storage.
[0058] As shown in Table 4, the human pest repellents of Examples 14 to 21 contained polyhydric alcohol (d) as an additive, and in all cases a uniform emulsion was produced, and the stability test results after one month were also good.
[0059] As shown in Table 5, the human pest repellents of Examples 22 to 26 contained thickener (c) as an additive, but all of them produced uniform emulsions and showed good results in the stability test after one month. Even when thickener (c) was added to the other examples, the stability test results after one month were also good.
[0060] <Test for sustained blood-sucking prevention effect (pest repellent test)> A human pest repellent was administered to the forearms of four subjects at a dose of 1.67 μL / cm 2 The test substance was applied evenly to the skin in an amount equivalent to 100 ml, and a glass ring containing 10 female Aedes albopictus mosquitoes was pressed against the skin for 5 minutes after each time period (6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, and 12 hours), and the number of Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that had bitten blood was counted. The blood-sucking inhibition rate was then evaluated using the following formula. The human pest repellent used was Example 6. As a comparative example, an aqueous ethanol solution containing 10% DEET (Comparative Example 6) was used.
[0061]
[0062] In the following formula, "treated area" refers to a condition in which a human pest repellent (Example 6 or Comparative Example 6) was applied, and "untreated area" refers to a condition in which nothing was applied.
[0063] Blood-sucking prevention rate (%) = (1 - blood-sucking mosquito rate in treated area / blood-sucking mosquito rate in untreated area) x 100 The results are shown in Table 7. In Example 6, a blood-sucking prevention rate of 90% or more was confirmed even 10 hours after application, but in Comparative Example 6, the blood-sucking prevention rate fell below 80% 10 hours after application.
[0064]
[0065] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative in all respects and should not be interpreted as limiting. Furthermore, all modifications and variations within the scope of the claims are within the scope of the present invention. For example, with regard to the repellent active ingredient (a), the above-described repellent active ingredient (a) provides long-term stability and exhibits pest repellent effects, as in Examples 1 to 6.
