ivyspivey-I don't know if this is relevant,but I cobbled it together from various sources over the weekend.
Biocides, pest repellants or attractants, or plant growth regulators containing heterocyclic compounds having rings with one or more oxygen or sulfur atoms as the only ring hetero atoms with two or more hetero atoms five-membered rings.
Tyramine receptors belong to the Class A GPCR family. In mammalian systems, tyramine is a member of the trace amines, but in insects octopamine and tyramine are thought to be the main neurotransmitters.
Dr.Essam Enan discovered,patented and assigned the technology to Tyratech.
Embodiments of the present invention provide compositions for controlling a target pest including a pest control product and at least one active agent, wherein: the active agent can be capable of interacting with a receptor in the target pest; the pest control product can have a first activity against the target pest when applied without the active agent and the compositions can have a second activity against the target pest; and the second activity can be greater than the first activity.
"Dr. Enan’s scientific research discoveries and breakthroughs have had significant impact on the industry. In 1996, Dr. Enan’s discovery of octopamine receptor as a target for some plant essential oils helped the business of a pesticide company producing natural insecticides in making and selling more effective products. In 2003, Dr. Enan’s screening platform was successfully created, established and used to identify and develop synergistic blends of plant essential oils with potent insecticidal activity. This groundbreaking work led directly to the creation of another pesticide company in April 2004, which went public on the London Stock Exchange (AIMS) in 2007.
Dr. Enan is passionate about providing environmentally safer and all natural products that will drastically improve the quality of life for animals, plants, and humans, and has spent his career perfecting his science and inventions to achieve this goal. "
