  • Publication number: 20070027032
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of LCOs in initiating earlier flowering, increased number of buds and flower buds and earlier fruit development in non legume and legume plants, as compared to flowering and fruit development under conditions without use of LCOs, and the enhancement of plant growth and yield associated therewith; to compositions comprising an effective amount of at least one LCO and agriculturally acceptable carriers, associated with earlier flowering, increased bud and flower numbers and earlier initiation of fruit development as compared to conditions without use of LCOs, and with increased growth and plant yield; and to methods using LCOs and compositions of one or more LCOs and agriculturally acceptable carriers, associated with earlier flowering initiation, increased bud and flower numbers and earlier fruit development in both legume and non-legume crop plants as compared to conditions without use of LCOs and associated enhancement of growth and yield.

  • Publication number: 20060247214
    Abstract: A method for treating hair loss in mammals uses compositions containing 2-decarboxy-2-phosphinico prostaglandin derivatives. The compositions can be applied topically to the skin. The compositions can arrest hair loss, reverse hair loss, and promote hair growth. Compositions containing 2-decarboxy-2-phosphinico prostaglandin derivatives can also be used to lower intraocular pressure and treat bone disorders.

  • Publication number: 20060127431
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical skin care composition containing a safe and effective amount of a skin care active comprising agmatine, and its salt; a safe and effective amount of a first additional skin care active selected from the group consisting of BHT or BHA, hexamidine, cetyl pyridinium chloride, green tea catechins, phytosterols, ursolic acid, compounds derived from plant extracts, their salts and derivatives; and a dermatologically acceptable carrier for the agmatine composition. The present invention also relates to methods of using such agmatine compositions to regulate hair growth and the condition of mammalian skin. Said methods generally comprise the step of topically applying the composition to the skin of a mammal needing such treatment, a safe and effective amount of such compositions.

  • Publication number: 20060003943
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds having the general formula: [Poly]—[(L)z—[R—CHO]]y wherein [Poly] is a water-soluble, non-peptidic polymer component, L is an optionally present linking group, and RCHO is a substrate capable of interacting with one or more protease enzymes to reversibly inhibit said enzyme, and wherein said substrate comprises a peptide or peptide-like aldehyde. The index z is 0 when linking groups are absent and z is 1 when linking groups are present. The index y is at least 1. The inhibitors of the present invention are suitable for use in personal care compositions, inter alia, body washes, shampoos, and skin creams.
