Claims18
A method for reducing an infestation of ectoparasites, comprising:
- applying a compound of Formula I, or a salt or crystal thereof, to a surface of a subject in need thereof:
- wherein R represents hydrogen or C1-C5 alkyl, and
- wherein the ectoparasite belongs to the phylum arthropoda class wherein the ectoparasite is not a tick.
A method for treating an ectoparasite infestation, comprising:
- applying a compound of Formula I, or a salt or crystal thereof, to a surface of a subject in need thereof:
- wherein R represents hydrogen or C1-C5 alkyl, and
- wherein the ectoparasite belongs to the phylum arthropoda class wherein the ectoparasite is not a tick.
A method for reducing and/or treating an infestation of ectoparasites, the method comprising:
- applying a tobacco extract enriched for a compound of Formula Ia to a surface of a subject in need thereof:
- wherein the compound of Formula Ia is in a form of a solvate, and the tobacco extract is an extract from a tobacco strain that is enriched in the compound of Formula Ia relative to a wild strain, and
- wherein the ectoparasite belongs to the phylum arthropoda class.
