Abstract: This invention relates to novel polyether ionophores, formulations comprising same, and to methods of making and using these compounds and formulations for the treatment and/or prevention of parasitic infection in animals and humans. These compounds exhibit improved safety profiles and/or efficacies as compared to parent compounds.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel coumarin derivative, formulations comprising same, and to methods of making and using these compounds and formulations, which are useful as repellents against insects and/or pests. The compounds also prevent illness and disease caused by insect/pest-borne vectors, and provide safer, more effective alternatives to existing repellents.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel compounds exemplified by pyrrolic nitrogens used as anion and neutral species recognition elements with an aromatic core as a signal group. Described are methods for the synthesis of various pyrrole aryl compounds as well as various applications for these compounds. Methods of use include the binding and detection of specific analytes in a mixture and, in some examples, the separation of the analyte from the mixture. Additional methods of use include the transport of therapeutic agents and the sensing of components, degradants, and impurities in foodstuffs.
