Low concentrations of ophthalmic drugs suspended in an oil vehicle delivery system are as therapeutically effective in man and animals as the corresponding higher concentrations of ophthalmic drugs that are commercially used in aqueous solutions. Eye drops that utilize this nonaqueous oil delivery system, when used in man, are comfortable to use and produce little ocular irritation, have a longer shelf-life, low systemic toxic potential, and only short term blurring of vision. Using this nonaqueous oil delivery system, a single drop of ophthalmic drug with a concentration that is 10 times less than the same drug used in commercially available aqueous eye drops is as effective as the commercially available aqueous ophthalmic eye drops that require many applications to be effective.

  • Patent number: 6380182
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submergible surface. The method contacts the submergible surface with an effective amount of at least one sulfamic acid or salt thereof to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the submergible surface. The invention also relates to a method for controlling biofouling of an aqueous system. This method adds an effective amount of at least one sulfamic acid or salt thereof to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submerged surface within the aqueous system. This method effectively controls biofouling without substantially killing the fouling organisms. The sulfamic acid used in the method of the invention has the formula R1R2NS(O)2(OH). In this formula, R1 and R2 are independently a hydrogen, a C4-C20 alkyl group or a cyclohexyl group. However, R1 and R 2 are not both hydrogen.
