Icaridin, also known as Picaridin or hydroxy-ethyl isobutyl piperidine carboxylate, is a cyclic amine and a member of the piperidine chemical family. Piperidines are structural components of [piperine], that is a plant extract from the genus Piper , or pepper. Icaridin has been commonly used as a topically-applied insect repellent in various countries but was officially licensed for use in the United States in 2001 and Canada in 2012. Icaridin was synthesized by Bayer in the 1980s based on molecular modeling. It is considered to be the first choice of repellent by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers six months to 12 years of age. Icaridin is reported to be less irritating than [Diethyltoluamide], another common insect repellant, and products containing up to 20% of icaridin are considered safe for long-term use in adults. The directory classifies it as a commercial API with a synthetic source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Bayrepel, Picaridin, Propidine and Saltidin. Its PubChem CID is 125098.
