  • Patent number: 10213491
    Abstract: Neonatal seizure is different from adult seizure, and many antiepileptic drugs that are effective in adults often fail to treat neonatal seizure. Gluconic acid, a natural organic acid enriched in fruits and honey, and the glucose oxidase enzyme, is shown herein to potently inhibit neonatal epilepsy both in vitro and in vivo. Sodium gluconate is shown to inhibit epileptiform burst activity in cell cultures and protect neurons from kainic acid-induced cell death. Sodium gluconate also inhibited epileptiform burst activity in brain slices in a manner that was much more potent in neonatal animals than in older animals. Consistently, in vivo EEG recordings also revealed that sodium gluconate inhibited the epileptic seizure activity in a manner that was much more potent in neonates than in adult animals. Mechanistically, sodium gluconate inhibits voltage-dependent CLC-3 Cl? channels both in neuronal cultures and in hippocampal slices.

According to a further aspect, the invention relates to a corrosion-inhibiting composition comprising a corrosion inhibitor and the above set out corrosion-inhibiting agent in an effective combination to inhibit corrosion of metals. The composition may be effective in inhibiting ferrous metals when the cellulose nanocrystals are in either salt or free form. The composition may be effective in inhibiting corrosion of both ferrous and non-ferrous metals when the cellulose nanocrystals are in free form.

  • Publication number: 20150132391
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition comprising nanoparticles of TiO2 having a mean particle diameter (D50) of about 20-50 nm at a concentration of about 1-2000 g/L and H2O2 at a final concentration at about 2.5-25% by volume. The TiO2 particles are activated by the H2O2 in the composition to form radicals. The composition has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties and may be used for e.g. wound debridement. The invention further concerns medical and cosmetic products and devices comprising the composition.

  • Publication number: 20150132405
    Abstract: The present invention provides synergistic combinations of monochlorourea with other biocides for controlling microbial growth in aqueous systems. It also provides synergistic combinations of dimethyl monochlorourea with other biocides for controlling growth in aqueous systems. The synergistic combinations of monochlorourea and dimethyl monochlorourea with other biocides allows for the reduced use of total biocides to provide control of microbial growth in aqueous systems.

  • Publication number: 20150110893
    Abstract: Formulations and wipes for imparting a sporicide to a surface are disclosed herein. To achieve the sporicidal efficacy of the product, a synergistic amount of an amine oxide surfactant and a mixture of oxidants is incorporated into the formulation. The operative sporicidal formulation contains a solvent, an amine oxide surfactant, a water soluble oxidant and a water insoluble oxidant. Typically, the formulation can contain about 0.05 to about 3.7 percent (by weight of the formulation) of an amine oxide surfactant, about 0.5 to about 4 percent (by weight of the formulation) of a water soluble oxidant, and about 0.1 to about 6 percent (by weight of the formulation) of a water insoluble oxidant.
