Technical Abstract:
5-(1-hydroxynonyl)-2-tetrahydrofuranpentanoic acid (18-Bovidic acid), a compound recently identified as a mosquito deterrent from the hair of gaur, has been evaluated for its efficacy compared to known synthetic repellents. In the present study we have evaluated analogs of Bovidic acid, related hydroxyfuranoid acid and their esters to identify structural features and stereochemistry necessary to exhibit feeding deterrent activities against arthropod vectors.
