Abstract: The present disclosure relates to micellar compositions conformed by biomimetic phospholipids and nonionic surfactants, among other ingredients, for eliminating one or more types of microorganisms including mycobacteria, bacteria, fungi, and viruses from a surface within a contact time on the surface of less than about 1 minutes and having pH of from about 0.3 to 8. The present invention aims on using 100% bio-based (renewable) biodegradable, non-toxic ingredients to be applied not only to hard inanimate surfaces but also on tissue for endodontic applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to biocompatible microemulsion systems designed for controlled release drug delivery applications formulated with phospholipids such as lecithin (surfactant), a lipophilic additive (linker) containing 9 or more carbons in their alkyl group and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 5 or less, and a surfactant-like hydrophilic additive (linker) containing between 6 to 9 carbon atoms in their alkyl tail. The combination of linkers and phospholipids produce formulations capable of delivering high concentrations of poorly soluble drugs into epithelial tissue using low surfactant concentrations, with minimum cytotoxic side effects.

Abstract: A novel method for cleaning dental and medical instruments is disclosed, in which a cleaning solution including a low-residue corrosion inhibitor is used not only in a wash stage of the cleaning cycle, but also in at least one subsequent rinse cycle, to optimize both cleaning and rust prevention. A novel cleaning solution particularly suited to this method has a neutral to alkaline pH and comprises in aqueous solution a low-foaming surfactant and a corrosion inhibitor selected from the group of C4-C16 alkyl pyrrolidones and C1-C18 alkylamines.
