Abstract: An aqueous composition comprises at least one oxidizable sulfur-based compound. A concentrated extract of the aqueous composition includes a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-detectable amount of contaminating refinery hydrocarbons but the aqueous composition is free of refinery odor when stored for at least 24 hours at room temperature and 60% relative humidity. The aqueous compositions are prepared from a gas stream obtained from a petroleum refinery process, a coke oven, or the like, containing at least about 4 mol %, more specifically about 15 mol %, of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and/or sulfur dioxide (SO2) and/or ammonia (NH3), and at least about 0.1 mol % of contaminating refinery hydrocarbons. The aqueous compositions are suitable for use in fertilizers, mining and industrial applications.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for alleviating inflammatory-associated diseases and conditions. These methods include administering individual and/or a mixture of multiple flavans isolated from a single or multiple Acacia genus of plants. The present disclosure also includes methods for isolating and purifying from an Acacia genus of plants a composition of flavans having dual specificity for cyclooxygenase (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) enzymes.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme COX-2. The method is comprised of administering a composition containing a Free-B-Ring flavonoid or a composition containing a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids to a host in need thereof. The present also includes novel methods for the prevention and treatment of COX-2 mediated diseases and conditions. The method for preventing and treating COX-2 mediated diseases and conditions is comprised of administering to a host in need thereof an effective amount of a composition containing a Free-B-Ring flavonoid or a composition containing a mixture of Free-B-Ring flavonoids and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
