  • Patent number: 5236699
    Abstract: An antiplaque mouth rinse conducive to oral hygiene. The mouth rinse composition includes a water-alcohol vehicle having dissolved therein two antibacterial agents that coact to promote the delivery of these agents and their retention on the teeth and soft tissue in the dental region of the oral cavity of the user, thereby inhibiting the formation of plaque. One agent, Triclosan, is water-insoluble and noncationic, a solubilizer therefor being included in the composition. The other agent, cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC) is soluble in water and alcohol and is cationic. When the combination of Triclosan and CPC is delivered to the dental region, it is adsorbed and retained thereby to afford enhanced antibacterial activity.

  • Patent number: 5221683
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and method for inhibiting nonenzymatic cross-linking (protein aging) which contain diaminopyridines and derivates thereof. Accordingly, a composition is disclosed which comprises an agent capable of inhibiting the formation of advanced glycosylation endproducts of target proteins by reacting with the carbonyl moiety of the early glycosylation product of such target proteins formed by their initial glycosylation. The method comprises contacting the target protein with the composition. Both industrial and therapeutic applications for the invention are envisioned, as food spoilage and animal protein aging can be treated.

  • Patent number: 5208009
    Abstract: An anticalculus oral composition, which is preferably a toothpaste or a mouthrinse, includes an effective anticalculus azacycloalkane-2,2-diphosphonic acid or a salt thereof, preferably azacycloheptane-2,2-diphosphonic acid, and a water-soluble or water swellable polymer having a molecular weight of about 1,000-2,000,000, such as a linear copolymer of maleic anhydride and vinyl methyl ether or a polyvinyl phosphonate. The polymer surprisingly increases the anticalculus effectiveness of the azacycloalkane-2,2-diphosphonic acid or salt thereof in such compositions, even at comparatively low concentrations of both such materials. Also within the invention is a process for applying such compositions to the teeth, and it has been shown by both in vitro and in vivo testing that significant repeatable improvements in anticalculus effects are obtained by such processes, compared to control processes in which either of the active components mentioned is employed alone in the described oral compositions.
