  • Patent number: 11452776
    Abstract: The present invention is a glutamine compound having a high Z element attached via a ligand, which enters the mitochondrion and is subsequently exposed to ionizing radiation. When exposed to ionizing radiation, the present invention damages mitochondrial (as well as other) substructures such as mtDNA, the outer membrane, the inner membrane, cristae, ribosomes, etc., and causes the effective destruction of such mitochondrion. Tumorigenic cells without mitochondria cannot produce the energy they need to subsist and replicate, effectively starving them of energy and causing their destruction.

  • Patent number: 6939566
    Abstract: Microbicidal formulations are described which are preferably ecologically friendly and non-toxic to mammals, and are highly effective against a broad spectrum of detrimental pathogenic microorganisms. The microbicidal formulation contains complexes having the formula R-M, wherein R is at least one organic chelating moiety and M is at least one metal ion which is microbicidal to at least one microorganism. These complexes can disrupt microorganism activities by penetrating the natural protecting bio-films of such microorganisms through the reaction of the R-group with the organic constituents of these microorganisms while releasing M into their intra-cellular media. Thus, this process exhibits its biocidal activities from the inside-out, contrary to other methods which rely on damaging the protective biofilms.

  • Publication number: 20040067979
    Abstract: This invention provides a class of androgen receptor targeting agents (ARTA). The agents define a new subclass of compounds, which are selective androgen receptor modulators (SARM). Several of the SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected androgenic and anabolic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor. Other SARM compounds have been found to have an unexpected antiandrogenic activity of a nonsteroidal ligand for the androgen receptor.

  • Publication number: 20030213401
    Abstract: A material and method for treating timber. The material comprises a preservative and a carrier. The carrier is selected such that it remains mobile within the wood and provides for migration of the preservative within the treated wood. By providing a carrier which is mobile within the wood, the timber has a ‘self healing’ effect wherein the carrier/preservative migrates to any freshly cut or exposed surface of the wood to thereby redistribute and treat such a surface within the preservative and hence maintain integrity of a treatment envelope surrounding the wood.

  • Patent number: 6638431
    Abstract: A formulation and method to treat and control microbial growth present in the water of climate control systems such as air conditioner air handlers, dehumidifiers, and humidifiers, which formulation can be entrained and dispersed into to living space air. Specifically, a formulation is provided in the form of a tablet or a spray for being applied onto a wetted surface element present in these systems which will effectively control the growth of microbes such as fungus, molds, bacteria, and virus present on the surface for an extended period of time. The formulations include at least two metals, at least two chelating agents, at least one surfactant, and at least one viscosity enhancing compound.

  • Patent number: 6630172
    Abstract: Disinfectant formulations are described which are preferably ecologically friendly and non-toxic to mammals and plants, and are highly effective against a broad spectrum of detrimental pathogenic microorganisms. The microbicidal formulation contains complexes having at least one metal ion which is microbicidal to at least one microorganism and potassium sodium tartrate in some form. When potassium sodium tartrate is used with these metal ions, it enhances the complex-forming properties of such metal complexes while concurrently increases their efficacy and potency at the same level of metal ion concentrations. These microbicidal formulations can be diluted in suitable proportions into aqueous systems to produce the desired dosages for each individual case, depending on the level and the severity of the contamination. The microbicidal formulations can be applied by conventional methods, e.g., spraying, soaking, fogging, impregnation, and the like.
