odorant

Picaridin (Lcaridin) is a topical insect repellent.

2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is present in asparagus, wheat bread, crispbread, Swiss cheeses, black or green tea, soya, malt, raw shrimp and squid. 2,5-Dimethylpyrazine is used as flavor additive and odorant in foods.

Watermelon ketone (7-Methyl-2H-1,5-benzodioxepin-3(4H)-one) is a fragrance compound, with a special odorant. It has been widely used in the fragrance industry.

OX1a is an orco antagonist agent which acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of odorant activation of an insect OR.

OX3a is an orco antagonist agent that acts by inhibiting odorant activation of insect Ors.

MDK3673, also known as Olfr895-Agonist-10, is a novel specific agonist of odorant receptor 895 (Olfr895).

VUAA1, an insect odorant co-receptor (Orco) agonist, activates heteromeric and homomeric Orco-containing channels and can disrupt the behaviors of nuisance insects, thus serving as a tool for insect olfactory research [1] [2].

5α-Androst-16-en-3-one, a mammalian pheromone present in boar saliva, plays a crucial role in facilitating social and sexual interactions by acting as a volatile chemical cue. It is utilized to prime sows in estrus for mating or artificial insemination, underscoring its significance in reproductive behavior. Additionally, this compound is detected in human sweat and urine, where it is involved in studies concerning receptor-mediated odorant detection and the genetic foundations of anosmias, thereby broadening its scope of relevance beyond the animal kingdom.
