Abstract: A method for inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes and inflammation in a mammal using a cherry or cherry anthocyanins, bioflavonoids and phenolics is described. In particular a mixture including the anthocyanins, the bioflavonoids and the phenolics is described for this use.

Abstract: A method for isolating a mixture of anthocyanins, bioflavonoids and phenolics from cherries using adsorbent resins which are regenerable for reuse is described. The mixture with a consumable carrier is particularly useful in foods and as a dietary supplement or neutraceutical product.

Abstract: Compositions for the treatment of fungal nail disease (onychomycosis), including camphor, menthol, eucalyptus and thymol are described. The ingredients are natural and very effective in treating the nail fungus.

Abstract: A method for controlling bacterial fungal diseases using Pseudomonas aureofaciens in admixture with metabolites, particularly phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) is described. Pseudomonas aureofaciens is particularly useful in inhibiting the microorganisms in cultivated dicot plants, cereal crops and nursery stock and seeds. The method is environmentally safe and economical.

Abstract: Compounds that are isolatable from cherries and have antioxidant activity, and methods for isolating these compounds are described. In particular, the invention relates to 1-(3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoyl)-cyclopenta-2,3-diol and 1-(3',4'-dihydroxycinnamoyl)-cyclopenta-2,5-diol, which have antioxidant activity. These antioxidant compounds and compositions containing these compounds are useful as food preservatives, dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and phytoceuticals.

Abstract: Anthocyanin containing fractions isolated from tart cherries and exhibiting inhibition of oxidation when introduced into various materials is described. The fractions are particularly useful in high and low moisture foods.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of an isoflavone from a 2'-hydroxydeoxybenzoin(I) is described. The process uses prepared N,N'-dimethyl(chloromethylene) ammonium chloride as a reactant with (I) in borontrifluoride etherate or other Lewis acid as a solvent. The isoflavones are known biologically active compounds.

Abstract: Compositions of an alkali metal formononetinate, particularly potassium and sodium, for stimulating the growth of mycorrhizal fungi which colonize the plant and in turn stimulate growth of the plant. The results are improved over formononetin.

Abstract: A method for controlling fungal diseases in turfgrasses using a Pseudomonas aureofaciens. The Pseudomonas aureofaciens is particularly useful in inhibiting dollar spot (Sclerotinia homoeocarpa) in turfgrasses. The method is environmentally safe and economical.

Abstract: A process for the separation of taxanes, particularly taxol, cephalomannine, baccatin III and deacetylbaccatin III, from ornamental yew tissue is described. The process involves a specific solvent mixture of water and 50 to 95 percent by volume methanol, ethanol or acetone and treatment of the resulting extract using activated carbon, preferably charcoal. The taxanes are preferably separated from the crude extract by a normal phase chromatographic step which preferably is through vacuum and then medium pressure column chromatographic separation, using inexpensive silica gel as an absorbent. The silica gel is regenerated by heating in a furnace above about 500.degree. C. to remove adsorbed organic materials.

Abstract: A method for controlling insects using nitrophenyl pyrones is described. The pyrones are preferably derived from Streptomyces sp. by a method involving growth and extraction of the pyrones. A novel pyrone, griseulin is also described.

Abstract: A process for the separation of taxanes, particularly taxol, from ornamental yew tissue is described. The process involves a specific solvent mixture of ethanol and water which is between 50 to 80 percent by volume ethanol and decolorizing of the resulting extract using activated carbon containing the crude taxanes. The taxanes are separated from the crude extract by a normal phase chromatographic step which preferably is through vacuum or medium pressure column chromatographic separation, using inexpensive silica gel as an absorbent.
