Abstract: A drug/liposome composition comprising an aqueous suspension of liposomes and, entrapped in the lipid bilayer region of the liposomes, an anthraquinone drug containing quinone and hydroquinone functionalities on adjacent anthracene rings. An iron-specific trihydroxamic chelating agent contained in the bulk aqueous phase of the suspension and a lipophilic free-radical scavenger contained in the bilayer region of the liposome cooperate to reduce chemical modification of both drug and lipid components of the composition. A preferred composition containing doxorubicin and alpha-tocopherol entrapped in the liposomes, and ferrioxamine in the aqueous suspension phase is effective in treating human neoplasms, with significantly reduced side effects over those produced by free-drug administration.

Abstract: This invention is directed to oxidation hair dye compositions and their use in the dyeing of human hair. The compositions consist essentially of precursors comprising 2,3-diamino-6-methoxy-pyridines and aromatic amines or diamines. The combination of oxidation dye precursors according to the invention gives bright, deep blue dye finishes having high stability to heat and light.

Abstract: The use of compounds of formula I (in 2,3-threoconfiguration) ##STR1## wherein n is an integer from 5 to 9, R' and R" are equal or different, and are each selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl, or are together O (oxygen) or .dbd.CH.sub.2 (methylene), and R is lower alkyl, for the inhibition of pheromone mediated attraction between male and female of pest insects, particularly of the family Diprionidae; the use of compounds of the formula II (in 2,3-erythroconfiguration): ##STR2## wherein n is an integer from 5 to 9, R.sub.a ' is hydrogen, and R.sub.a " is lower alkyl, or R.sub.a ' and R.sub.a " together form methylene, and R.sub.a is lower alkyl, as an attractant for pest insects, preferably of the family Diprionidae.

Abstract: Perfluorocarbon emulsion formulations are oxygenated prior to use by means of a portable oxygenation system. The blood substitute is in a closed container or bag. An oxygen-containing gas is introduced into the bag from a separate container. The bag is continuously agitated for a sufficient time to increase the pO.sub.2 of the perfluorocarbon emulsion formulations to a desired pressure, e.g., to at least 600 mmHg. In one embodiment, the system used for oxygenation of the perfluorocarbon emulsion formulations comprises a small tank for gas having an inlet port and an outlet port fitted with shut-off valves. The outlet port is adapted to be connected to a filter which, in turn, is adapted to be connected to the inlet port of a three-way valve. The primary outlet of the three-way valve is adapted to mount a hypodermic needle which is adapted to be pushed through a rubber septum in a port of the bag to communicate with the interior of the bag.

Abstract: A molluscicide composition is provided which is highly effective and environmentally safe. The composition includes a carrier compound, an attractant, and a molluscicide agent. The attractant consists of metaldehyde and the molluscicide agent consists of atomized powdered elemental aluminum. Wheat, barley, oats, corn and mill-run bran are used as the carrier compounds. In a preferred form of the invention, a preservative, a dispersing agent and water are added to enhance the preparation and stability of the composition. The composition may be applied in meal, pellet, cake or slurry form. It is highly effective in killing terrestrial molluscs (slugs and snails) while avoiding the environmental and efficacy problems of other molluscicide compositions, including those using metaldehyde as the sole molluscicide agent.

Abstract: Novel lower alkyl esters of iodo-trans-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid are useful to attract the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, "Medfly," for prolonged periods of time. The esters are competitive in attraction with the current "standard" attractant, Trimedlure, but are much more persistent. The esters may be economically produced and possess the dual properties required for effective use in Medfly control programs.

Abstract: Certain esters of 4(and 5)-chloro-trans-2-methylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid act in a dual and advantageous capacity when added to the Mediterranean fruit fly attractant, trimedlure. They greatly reduce or eliminate crystallization of the solid trimedlure isomers that occurs on storage or use during cool weather and they significantly extend the attractive activity of trimedlure.
