Definitions
- the present invention relates to methods and compositions for repelling arthropod pests, more particularly for repelling the insect pests’ mosquitoes and flies.
- the compositions of the invention include massoia lactone and/or a structurally related compound.
- Mosquitoes are devastating disease vectors. They are able to transmit diseases from an infected host to another host during blood feeding that provides the female mosquitoes with the nutrient for egg production. Aedes, which is one of the genus of mosquito, are now found in all continents except for Antarctica, spreading diseases like chikungunya, dengue fever, yellow fever and Zika [Vector Borne Disease [wwwdotwhodotint/en/news- room/fact-sheets/detai l/vector-borne-diseases] .
- Anopheles Another genus of mosquito known as the Anopheles is the vector for transmitting Malaria which accounts for more than 400,000 deaths in the world annually [Bernier UR, Kline DL, et a!., PLoS Negl Trop Dis. 2019, 13(3): e0007188]. With vector-borne diseases accounting for more than 17% of all infectious diseases, the world health organization had responded by providing strategies and guidelines for vectors control, personal protection against vectors, management of outbreaks, training in diagnosis and development of new tools.
- insect repellent is an effective strategy to reduce mosquito bites and disease transmission.
- the active ingredients are usually compounds such as N,N-diethyl-mefa-toluamide (DEET), citronella oil, lemon eucalyptus oil and picaridin. While DEET is still considered the ‘golden standard’ as the active compound in many commercially available mosquito repellents due to its effectiveness, it has adverse health effects like skin irritation, breathing difficulty, burning eyes and headaches [ protesty S, Clere N, Apaire-Marchais V, Faure S, Lapied B: EurJ Pharmacol.
- the present invention provides methods of using alternative compounds and compositions for repelling arthropod pests, more preferably insect pests.
- the bark oil of massoia tree contains several lactones, notably C10 ((R)-5,6-Dihydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one), C12 and C14 delta-lactone with a double bond at the C2 position in the lactone ring ( Figure 1).
- Massoia lactones are very safe to humans as it has been used extensively as a natural flavouring agent for food and beverage. It has a sweet, creamy and milky odour that is similar to that of coconut. Massoia lactone repelled mosquitoes and flies and was at least as effective as DEET in repelling mosquitoes. Moreover, the repellent effect lasted longer than that for DEET.
- the present disclosure provides a method of repelling an arthropod pest, the method comprising contacting a subject or article with a composition comprising massoia lactone compound ((R)-5,6-Dihydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one), a massoia lactone-like compound or mixture thereof.
- the arthropod may be a mosquito or fly, or other pest. Pests may be selected from the group comprising ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies such as sand flies, mites, mosquitos, spiders, ticks, termites and wasps.
- the present disclosure provides a composition for use in repelling arthropod pests, comprising at least one massoia lactone compound, a massoia lactone-like compound or mixture thereof.
- the present disclosure provides use of massoia lactone, a massoia lactone-like compound or mixture thereof as an arthropod pest repellent.
- the present disclosure provides use of massoia lactone, a massoia lactone-like compound or mixture thereof, in the manufacture of an arthropod pest repellent.
- Figure 1 shows the molecular structures of compounds tested in the present disclosure.
- FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a modified cage for hand assay.
- Wiring mesh for viewing of mosquito and air exchange. 2. 10% CO2 and 90% air mixture are introduced at 3NI/min (normal liters per minute) into the cage via a fly pad placed at the top of the cage. 3. Wre mesh from screen port is replaced with cling wrap for a better view of the opposite screen port. 4. Posterior end of the cage contains an opening covered by sleeves that had been removed for illustration purposes. 5. Wire mesh of screen port is replaced with a cut out of a cloth that is soaked with the tested compound. 6. A 90 mm Petri dish cover with a cut out of 70 mm is placed over the screen port to create a gap between the cloth and the hand. 7. Filter paper covering the side of the cage facing the tester to minimize air exchange and to block the vision.
- Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a setup for 2-choice assay for Drosophila melanogaster repellent assay.
- Figure 5 shows a bar graph of the results of the 2-choice trap assay.
- Majority of female flies avoided the trap that contains massoia lactone at all concentrations tested and entered trap with solvent (grey bar).
- Figure 6 shows bar graphs of the repellency of dose ranges of (A) DEET and (B) massoia lactone toward Ae. aegypti mosquitoes.
- Figure 7 shows a bar graph of the repellency over time of 2% (v/v) massoia lactone and 2% (v/v) DEET evaluated by hand-based pull-push assay immediately (0 h), 2.5 h and 5 h after application.
- Figure 8 shows a bar graph comparing repellency between massoia lactone and essential oils; eucalyptus and citronella. All tests were done with 2% (v/v) concentration in ethanol.
- Figure 9 shows a bar graph comparing repellency between 2% (v/v) massoia lactone- ethanol and a citronella oil based commercial anti-mosquito spray.
- Figure 10 shows bar graphs comparing the repellency of massoia lactone (ML) (A) and DEET (0.01% to 0.5%) (B) for Culex quinquefasciatus established using the hand assay.
- article is used herein to mean an object such as a man-made product comprised of fabric or solid substrate that said pest comes in contact with or comes in close proximity to.
- the article may include items of furniture, items of clothing and the solid substrate may be a household surface such as a window or door frame or wall.
- the term “arthropod pest repellent” or “insect repellent' or “repellent compound” or “repellent composition” will refer to a compound or composition which deters arthropods, more particularly insects, from subjects or articles of manufacture. Most known repellents are not active poisons at all, but rather prevent damage to plants/animals or articles of manufacture by making insect food sources or living conditions unattractive or offensive. Typically, repellents are a compound or composition that can be either topically applied to the subject; or, the compound or composition is incorporated into an article to produce an insect repellent article that deters insects from the nearby 3-dimensional space in which the subject or article exists.
- the effect of the insect repellent is to drive the insects away from or to avoid: 1.) the subject, thereby minimizing the frequency of insect “bites” to the subject; or 2.) the article.
- Repellents may be in various forms as described herein and as understood in the art.
- extract refers to any compound, composition or material which is extracted from a plant or part(s) thereof.
- massoia lactone compound may be extracted from the bark oil of massoia tree ( Cryptocaria massoia).
- massoia lactone compound may be produced by yeast fermentation and solvent-extracted from yeast cells.
- Massoia lactone or “Massoia lactone compound” is herein defined as C10 massoia lactone with lUPAC name (R)-5,6-Dihydro-6-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one.
- Massoia lactone-like compound is herein defined as a compound that has structural similarities with massoia lactone.
- the compound may contain a delta- lactone ring. Examples are shown in Figure 1.
- C12 massoia lactone (5,6- dihydro-6-heptyl-2H-pyran-2-one)
- C14 massoia lactone (5,6-dihydro-6-nonyl-2H- pyran-2-one) are considered as massoia lactone-like compounds.
- pest is herein defined as an organism, usually an arthropod, which has characteristics that are regarded by humans as detrimental or unwanted, for example by biting and in some cases causing disease.
- pest includes but is not limited to insects.
- the pest may be selected from the group comprising ants, cockroaches, fleas, flies, mites, mosquitoes, spiders, ticks, termites, wasps and the like.

- the Culex quinquefasciatus (Singapore strain) used were maintained at Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL) Arthropod facility.
- the strain was obtained from EHI/National Environment Agency in Feb 2020.
- Adult mosquitoes were reared in environmental chambers at 28 ⁇ 1 °C and 75 to 80% relative humidity on a 12:12 hour photoperiod.
- Adult mosquitoes were provided with 10% sugar solution and the larvae were fed with a mixture of ground fish food flakes (TETRAMIN®, Tetra, Spectrum Brands Pet LLC, VA, US) and dry yeast granule (2:1).
- Blood feedings were carried out using membrane feeding system (HEMOTEK®, Hemotek Ltd, UK) with pathogen-free rabbit blood and mouse skins as the membrane.
- a set of at least 3 repeats, 20 females Ae. aegypti or C. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes aged 5-7 days are placed in a cage (30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm) and allowed to acclimatize for 10 minutes prior to the start of the experiment.
- the mosquitoes were starved for 12 hours with access only to water.
- Female mosquitoes which exhibit host seeking behaviour were transferred from the rearing cage to the testing cage.
- the cage (30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm) was purchased from Bug Dorm (shopdotbugdormdotcom). It contains an opening with a sleeve for transferring of mosquitoes and two screen ports (wired screen with donut lid) on the left and right side of the cage that has a circumference of 9 cm ( Figure 2).
- the wired screen of one screen port is replaced with cling wrap for a better view and the wired screen of the other screen port is replaced with a disc of fabric (circumference: 10 cm) that had been soaked with the test compound.
- C10 massoia lactone was initially produced by yeast fermentation and extracted by H2SO4 hydrolysis of yeast cells followed by ethyl acetate extraction according to the methods described previously [Ji L, Ngoh ST, W02017030503 A1], incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
- the C10 massoia lactone was purified by fractional distillation. The solvent was removed thoroughly using a rotary evaporator (Heidolph, Germany) set at 120 °C and massoia lactone was collected by heating the residual at 200°C under a vacuum of about 20 mBar or below. A second distillation may be performed until C10 massoia lactone reached at least 95% as judged by GCMS analysis.
- C10 massoia lactone was also purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (W374400, natural, 395%).
- DEET 97%, SKU: D100951
- Other compounds including DEET (97%, SKU: D100951), were purchased from Sigma- Aldrich (USA). The compounds were dissolved in 100% ethanol to make up 1 ml of solution according to the concentration stated in corresponding experiment. 1 ml of the solution was added drop-wise onto a cut out of a piece of fabric with a circumference of 10 cm. The fabric was left to dry in a fume hood for 5 minutes prior to usage or longer in the case of duration experiments. The dried fabric was placed in between the donut lid and onto the cage.
- the number of mosquitoes landing and probing on the fabric were recorded every minute for a period of 5 minutes and the sum of landing and probing during these 5 minutes was divided by 5 to get an average.
- the average number for the treatment was then divided by the average number for the control treatment (solvent only) to get a landing percentage.
- the repellency is calculated by subtracting 100 percentage to this landing percentage.
- the hand repellent assay is a rapid screening method developed to screen compounds for their mosquito repellent property. Using a human hand as the attractant, the compounds are tested for their repellent property by creating a barrier with a piece of fabric soaked with 1 ml of diluted compound of interest. Mosquitoes that land on the fabric and probe are quantified every minute for 5 minutes to account for the percentage of repellency that the compound provides.
- the screening method allows for the study of different concentrations of the compounds and their effectiveness in repelling the mosquitoes. The effectiveness of the compound through time can also be determined with the assay.
- Massoia lactone was also tested for repellency against Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes using the push-pull hand repellent assay. Our results show that massoia lactone exhibited strong repellency against Culex quinquefasciatus (Figure 10). A dosage-dependent response of Culex quinquefasciatus to massoia lactone and DEET was observed and showed Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are more sensitive to the repellents than Ae. aegypti (cf. Fig. 10A and Fig. 6A). 0.5% (v/v) of massoia lactone provided 100% protection against Culex quinquefasciatus which is more effective when comparing to results from Ae. Aegypti.
- the duration of effective repellency is an important considering factor for making a mosquito repellent.
- 2% massoia lactone was compared to 2% of DEET in the hand-based “push-pull” repellent assay. After application onto the fabrics, the samples were left to dry under the fume hood (with constant airflow) for 5 minutes (defined as 0 h), 150 minutes (defined as 2.5 h) or 300 minutes (5 h) before repellency test.
- 2% DEET showed 100% repellency (or protection) at 0 h, its repellency dropped to 92.3% by 2.5 h and further to 74.07% by 5 h ( Figure 7).
- 2% massoia lactone gave 100% repellency throughout the 5 h testing period.
- Massoia lactone-based formulation out-performed popular essential oil-based products Some essential oils have been reported to have mosquito repellent activity. The repellency of massoia lactone -ethanol was compared with eucalyptus oil and citronella oil. Both are commonly found in some repellent products. In the hand-based “push-pull” assay, 2% (v/v) eucalyptus oil only exhibits 25.56% repellency ( Figure 8). A 2% (v/v) citronella oil in ethanol showed strong repellency at 96.18% at 0 h, however, it dropped quickly to 26.21% after 2.5 h.
- the assay consisted of 2 traps (control, various concentration of massoia lactone) placed within a 150 mm c 150 mm c 150 mm acrylic plastic cage. Each trap (cylindrical vial; 23 mm D x 72 mm H) was filled with 1 ml of apple cider vinegar as bait and stoppered with a cotton plug ( Figure 2). C10 massoia lactone was diluted to a concentration ranging from 0.5% to 50% (v/v) with ethanol absolute. 100 pi of the diluted massoia lactone was applied onto a filter paper disc (25 mm diameter with a 6 mm hole at the centre), and the ethanol was evaporated before the filter paper was placed on the cotton plug of the trap.
- Control trap was set up similarly with just the solvent (EtOH).
- a trimmed 200 mI pipette tip (25 mm; opening diameter: 6 mm; exit diameter: 3 mm) was inserted through both the hole of filter paper and the cotton plug to form a channel extending into the trap which the flies could enter but not leave.
- the 2 traps were then positioned separately at opposite corners of the cage ( Figure 3). 40 - 50 females were placed in each cage and were allowed to freely choose between these 2 traps.
- the assay was performed in the dark at 25 °C and the number of flies in and outside the traps were counted after 24 h.
- C10 massoia lactone (ML) and its saturated derivative, d-decalactone showed excellent repellency.
- gamma-lactone such as g-nonanoic lactone and g-octalactone showed comparable repellency at this concentration.
- Eugenol is more similar to DEET and also exhibited strong repellent activity against Aedes aegpyti mosquitoes ( Figure 4).
- Undecanone which resembles to the tail region of lactones, showed significant repellency.
- Molecules with pyrone rings also showed significant repellent activity.
- ethyl pyruvate a reported strong inhibitor of the Ae.
- aegypti CO2 receptor in mosquito olfactory neuron [Tauxe GM, et al., Cell 2013, 155(6):1365-1379], showed weak activity. This could be due to different assay conditions and setup used for assay.
- cyclopentanone is a strong attractant although it has the same ring structure of gamma-lactones ( Figure 1) [Tauxe GM, etal., Ce//2013, 155(6): 1365-1379] Therefore, an effective repellent molecule requires both a hexa or penta carbon/oxygen ring and an alkyl or alkene tail of at least 3 carbons. The double bond inside the ring structure appeared to play a small role, possibly through modulating boiling point to affect protection duration.
- Massoia lactone has a boiling point of 287 °C, almost identical to DEET (288 °C). Nevertheless, C10 massoia lactone gave better repellency at 0.5-1% (v/v) ( Figure 6) and at prolonged time lapse ( Figure 7) suggesting that massoia lactone is a significantly more potent repellent for Ae. aegypti mosquitoes than DEET. As massoia lactone has a boiling point significantly higher than that of eugenol (254 °C), we consider massoia lactone is more stable than eugenol and would be a better ingredient for insect repellents as it will last longer.
- massoia lactone [Ji L, Ngoh ST. W02017030503 A1]
- massoia lactone has an advantage of being an environmentally-friendly and a potentially safer active ingredient for mosquito repelling formulations.
- Massoia lactone may function as a repellent in many more insect species, including other mosquito species such as Culex and Anopheles. Indeed, in the “push-pull” hand-based assay, massoia lactone also repels Culex quinquefasciatus ( Figure 10), suggesting it likely functions as a general mosquito repellent. To see if massoia lactone could function as a repellent to other insects, we performed a repellency assay using Drosophila melanogaster. A 2-choice assay was set up ( Figure 3). Our results showed that massoia lactone displayed clear repellency against female fruit flies in a dosage-dependent manner, between 0.5% and 10% (v/v) ( Figure 5).
