Abstract: An excellent catalyst for polyurethane foams is a combination of 1, 3, 5-tris(3-dimethyl-aminopropyl)-s-hexahydrotriazine and 2-(dimethylamino)-ethanol. It has unexpectedly been found that this catalyst combination produces both excellent gelation and blowing reactions.

Abstract: N-(2-Methyl-1-naphthyl) maleimide has been found to be a potent biocide capable of protecting fabrics, plastics, paints, etc. from fungal and/or bacterial attack.

Abstract: Triglycerides carrying an anti-bacterial drug moiety in the 2-position and a hydrocarbon acyl moiety in the 1- and 3-positions exhibit excellent anti-bacterial properties without causing the side effects often associated with oral antibiotics when used by themselves.

Abstract: N-Phenoxyphenyl or N-phenylthiophenyl maleimides or 2,3-dichloromaleimides carrying optional substituents in the phenyl rings are potent biocides capable of protecting fabrics and plastics from fungal or bacterial attacks.

Abstract: Paint compositions containing an industrial biocide can be prevented from yellowing by the addition of a small amount of a certain mercury salt.

Abstract: By the addition of a relatively small amount of N-(phenoxyphenyl)maleimide or the corresponding 3,4-dichloromaleimide, synthetic films or plastics or woven or knitted synthetic or cellulosic fabrics can be protected against fungal and bacterial deterioration.

Abstract: Protection against certain aquatic pests can be obtained by use of certain alkyl tin dithiocarbamates in the coating for materials exposed to such pests or the aquatic enivornment in contact with these materials.

Abstract: Prostaglandin type compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --, --CH.dbd.CH-cis or--C.tbd.C--; Y is CH.sub.2 or O; Q is--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --or --CH.dbd.CH--; Z is H, OH, CH.sub.3 or CH.sub.2 OH, R is a linear, branched or cyclo alkyl chain of 3 to 7 carbon atoms or certain other moieties, and R" and R'''are H or CH.sub.3. These compounds are prepared by essentially a one-step reaction from a new intermediate of the formula ##STR2## wherein Z, R, R" and Q have the above meaning and P is a removable protective group by condensation with a reactive moiety introducing the entire .alpha.-chain (R'''=CH.sub.3). If desired, the carbonyl function is subsequently reduced to W= --CH(OH)--. The intermediate is useful in making known and new PGEs useful as antihypertensives, gastric acid secretion inhibitors and smooth muscle stimulants.

Abstract: This invention covers diacylated derivatives of .gamma.-glutamyl dopamine selected from the group consisting of ##STR1## where R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 straight or branched chain alkyl radical, a phenyl ring or a substituted phenyl ring and R' is H or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.7 alkyl, and a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.The compounds of this invention are useful to increase the renal blood flow by being administered to warm-blooded animals by clinically accepted routes of administration such as oral, parenteral, rectal and the like.

Abstract: A new chemical compound, the 12a-deoxychelocardin has been synthesized and found to be a potent antibacterial. It can also be used as an intermediate for the preparation of a number of modified chelocardin analogs that are similarly active as antibacterials, e.g. the compounds carrying different substituents in the D-ring.

Abstract: This invention provides intermediates which are essential for a new chemical method which converts terrein, a fungal metabolite, to an intermediate which is known to be useful for the preparation of prostaglandins of the C series and analogs of other prostaglandins.

Abstract: A compound represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R is H, loweralkyl, hydroxyloweralkyl or ##STR2## where R.sub.2 is an alkyl group of 1 to 15 carbon atoms; and R.sub.1 is H or ##STR3## where R.sub.2 is an alkyl group of 1 to 15 carbon atoms. These compounds are useful as antischizophrenics.
