Abstract: The invention is directed to compositions containing one or more proteases that are beneficial in the treatment of damaged tissue, wounds and inflammation. The compositions of the invention modulate the levels and activity of proteins that are present at wound and inflammation sites and promote the repair of damaged tissue.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to antimicrobial compositions that are non-toxic to mammals and plants, and are highly effective against a broad spectrum of detrimental pathogenic microorganisms. The antimicrobial compositions contain at least one zinc compound that is microbicidal to at least one microorganism. The antimicrobial compositions of the invention can be diluted in suitable proportions into suitable solvents to produce the desired dosages for each individual application. The antimicrobial compositions can be applied by conventional methods, e.g., spraying, soaking, fogging, impregnation, and the like. The compositions can also be used as preservatives. The antimicrobial compositions can also be made as gels or solids in different forms by using techniques available to those skilled in the art.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to zinc-based compositions for topical use in humans and animals, and methods therefor. The invention further relates to the use of zinc-based compositions in wound treatment, cleaning and other therapeutic applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antimicrobial compositions useful in the treatment of microbial and mycotic infections. The antimicrobial compositions are aqueous-based and preferably contain an oxidizing agent as an antimicrobial agent. In certain embodiments of the invention, the antimicrobial agent is chlorine dioxide.
