Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the effects of essential oils as eco-friendly insecticidal compounds, as opposed to conventional synthetic compounds, on insect octopamine and tyramine receptors. Test essential oils hardly acted on octopamine receptors, but thymol and carvacrol showed a peculiar action (allosteric-like action) on tyramine receptors.
