  • Publication number: 20100222439
    Abstract: This invention relates to a polymeric polyphenol containing beverage, In particular it relates to a substantially clear ambient temperature beverage comprising tea solids derived from fermented tea. The invention also relates to a method for improving the clarity of a polymeric polyphenol containing liquid composition. It has long been observed that on cooling an aqueous black tea infusion from about 90 degrees Celsius to ambient temperature, a marked increase in the turbidity of the infusion can be seen leading ultimately to precipitation of up to about 30% w/w of the total tea solids. This precipitate is known as tea cream. It is thought that this precipitate originates from initial self-associations of polymeric polyphenols and association with caffeine thereby forming nano-clusters. These nano-clusters are not themselves responsible for any turbidity or precipitation of tea solids.

    Abstract: Compositions suitable for the control of pest amphibian species are described. More particularly, compositions for killing amphibians are described that comprise: (i) a xylenol compound or derivative according to formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, halogen, —NH3 and C1-6 alkyl, and —R6—NH2, —R6—ONH2, —R6—NO2, and —R6—PO4, wherein R6 is C1-6 alkyl, and X is selected from hydrogen, halogen and C1-6 alkyl, or a salt thereof, and (ii) ethanol and optionally, (iii) methanol and/or at least one C3-6 alcohol. Methods for killing amphibians include contacting the amphibian with said compositions. Kits are described wherein said xylenol compounds and ethanol and optionally methanol and/or at least one C3-6 alcohol may be administered simultaneously or sequentially.

  • Publication number: 20100048732
    Abstract: Methods of minimizing bronchospasm and contraction of airway smooth muscle due to irritation of the airway are provided. More particularly, a method is provided of mitigating bronchospasm or airway smooth muscle constriction due to irritation. This method includes administering to a subject in need of such treatment an amount of propofol or a derivative thereof effective to decrease the severity and/or duration of bronchospasm or airway smooth muscle constriction. Also provided are methods of up-regulating GABA mediated relaxation of airway smooth muscle at GABAA receptors expressed on airway smooth muscle and methods of anesthetizing a subject and minimizing bronchospasm or airway smooth muscle constriction due to irritation using propofol or a propofol derivative.

  • Publication number: 20100041769
    Abstract: The present invention describes a new propofol-containing anesthetic pharmaceutical composition for parenteral administration, in the form of an oil-in-water microemulsion in which the oily phase is constituted by propofol in the form of particles with size comprised between 1 and 100 nm using a single surfactant selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol stearates with general formula C17H35COO. (OCH2CH2)nH or C17H35COO. (OCH2CH2)n.COOC17H35. The anesthetic pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is more potent for induction of hypnosis and anesthesia, has a ready-to-use presentation and highly stable particle size, presenting improved physicochemical properties, and preventing the potential risks of undesirable effects encountered in the state-of-the-art propofol formulations.
