DL-Camphor is a compound that functions as a natural insect repellent in experimental applications. It acts by disrupting the neurotransmission in insects, leading to paralysis and eventual death. At the molecular level, DL-Camphor interferes with the function of the insect′s nervous system by binding to specific receptors and inhibiting the transmission of nerve impulses. This disruption of normal nerve function ultimately leads to the insect′s inability to move or feed, resulting in its demise. In research and development, DL-Camphor is effective for controlling insect populations in experimental environments. Its mechanism of action as an insect repellent makes it an asset in studying insect behavior and population dynamics.
