Abstract: The invention concerns a complex containing biologically assimilable orthosilicic acid and a process of preparation of said complex. In this complex, orthosilicic acid is complexed with a polypeptide and the complex is under solid, stable and concentrated form. The present invention also concerns cosmetic or therapeutic compositions, and a nutritional supplement containing said complex.

Abstract: Silicon compound of general formula a), in which A, B, C, D are radicals which are different from OH and are covalently bonded to Si; two or three of these bond that are linked to Si are Si—O—C, Si—S—C or Si—N—C type bonds and are hydrolyzable in vivo, forming Si—OH bonds that are biologically active especially when in contact with living tissue, the A and D bonds of formula b) being invariably hydrolyzable; at least one of the hydrolyzable bonds corresponds to an acyloxy, aryloxy or vinyloxy radical; at least one of the compounds obtained after hydrolysis of the hydrolyzable bonds is a stabilizer, and the non-hydrolyzable bonds, which are of the Si—C type, correspond to hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon radicals for which Si is not directly linked to the phenyl ring.

Abstract: Organo silicon compound having the following general formula (I): R4—Si (OR1) (OR2) (R3)  (I) where R1 and R2 each one independently represent an atom of hydrogen or an alkyl group, R3 represents an hydrogen atom, an hydroxyl group, an amine group, an alkyl group, an alkoxy or a carboxylate group, and at least one of the OR1, OR2 or R3 groups represents an hydroxyl group, R4 represents an alkyl group substituted or not by a functional group such as, notably, an alkyl phosphate group or an alkyl phosphonate group, or any other group for which the R4—Si bond is not hydrolyzable, and the compound: is in solid form, and/or is possibly associated with at least one stabilizer, and/or is possibly associated with at least one dispersant.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of biologically active silicon compounds by hydrolysis of a precursor which produces a compound which prevents the formation of polymers from the silicon hydrolyzed bonds.

Abstract: A method of treatment of osteo-articular disease which includes administering an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition containing a compound of specified formula and an excipient to a patient in need of such treatment. The compounds of specified formula have a phosphonate group on one end and a silanol or silanol precursor on the opposite end, and can inhibit serine proteases.

Abstract: Insecticide composition, especially a pediculicide, comprising as active agent, rotenone or reduced rotenone. The composition is characterized in that said agent is bound to small polymer spherules. The retonone and/or reduced is preferably at least 90% pure. The composition may be in the form of a suspension, an emulsion, a powder, a paste, a cream or a foam and the like. The novel composition is useful in the treatment of parasites in both humans and animals.

Abstract: Products for cutaneous application with cosmetic and/or therapeutic effects, containing one or more active substances. This or these substances are carried by the microspheres of a polymer, dispersed in a liquid in which this polymer is not soluble.

Abstract: Therapeutic product based on an organic derivative of silicon, particularly useful in the treatment of vascular diseases. The organic silicon compound is associated with a polyamine carrying hydrocarbon chains including carboxyl groups.

Abstract: Aqueous composition for care of the superficial lymphatic vessels, containing one or more silanols or silanol derivatives in conjunction with concholytic acid.

Abstract: Process of preparation of an organo-silicon cosmetic compound having cosmetic and cutaneous resorption activity, derived from the addition or combination or complexing of a silanol with a substance which determines its cosmetic activity and an intracutaneous fixation substance.

Abstract: Therapeutic produced based on an organic derivative of silicon, notably of silanol complexed with an amino acid, with a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of such an acid, or with a protide. The produce is suitable for the preparation of medicaments for activation and regulation of metabolism and of growth and of multiplication of cells, in particular those which are involved in the immuno-processes or in the formation of conjunctive and bone tissue.

Abstract: Product of condensation of a silanol or a silanol derivative, which comprises an Si atom carrying two organic radicals and two oxygen atoms connected to organic groups other than the radicals; at least one of these organic groups carries at least one NH and a NH.sub.2.

Abstract: Cosmetic composition for treatment of the skin, comprising conjuctive tissue cells, particularly fibroblasts, in a nutrient medium, in which growth of the cells can occur. Flat support having an adhesive coated periphery, carrying or containing this composition, covered with a film insoluble in water. Preparation of the composition by the culture of fibroblasts in a modified Eagle medium.

Abstract: Extraction of insecticide from plants by means of an organic solvent boiling at a temperature exceeding 100.degree. C. The solvent is formed of an aliphatic acid ester from C.sub.6 to C.sub.30 and preferably from C.sub.8 to C.sub.20.

Abstract: Production of non-saponifiable compounds from natural substances such as plants, mushroom mycelium or bacteria, by extraction by means of an organic solvent. The solvent is an aliphatic or aryl ester, the molecule of which comprises at least 10 carbon atoms and preferably more than 12 carbon atoms.
