NCBI’s PubChem BioAssay database (1-5) (http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) is a public repository for archiving biological tests of small molecules and siRNA reagents. Small molecule bioactivity data contained in the BioAssay database consist of information generated through high-throughput screening experiments, medicinal chemistry studies, chemical biology research, as well as literature curati...

The repellents N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (deet) and racemic 2-methylpiperidinyl-3-cyclohexene-1-carboxamide (AI3-37220) were evaluated using two different laboratory bioassays to determine their relative effectiveness against host-seeking nymphs of the blacklegged tick, Ixodes scapularis Say, and the lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum (L.). In a petri dish bioassay, ticks were released wi...
