  • Patent number: 6716421
    Abstract: This invention relates to devices, kits, and methods for eliminating termite colonies. The kits, devices, and methods employ a termiticidal bait matrix containing a) a termiticide selected such that the termiticide causes death to about 50 to about 100% of termites within about 24 to about 84 days after the termites begin to ingest the termiticide or the bait matrix comprising the termiticide, b) a cellulose containing material, and c) water. The termiticidal bait matrix can be used in a bait station installed in the ground. The kits are suitable to be used by consumers in their homes.

  • Publication number: 20040006059
    Abstract: A C-nitroso compound having a molecular weight ranging from 225 to 1,000 (from 225 to 600 for oral administration) on a monomeric basis wherein a nitroso group is attached to a tertiary carbon, which is obtained by nitrosylation of a carbon acid having a pKa less than about 25, is useful as an NO donor. When the compound is obtained from a carbon acid with a pKa less than about 10, it provides vascular relaxing effect when used at micromolar concentrations and this activity is potentiated by glutathione to be obtained at nanomolar concentrations. When the compound is obtained from a carbon acid with a pKa ranging from about 15 to 20, vascular relaxing effect is obtained at nanomolar concentrations without glutathione. In another embodiment, a biocompatible polymer incorporates a C-nitroso moiety.

  • Patent number: 6660734
    Abstract: The invention relates to novel oxazinones designed to bind to the penicillin receptor, methods of synthesizing the compounds, and the use of the compounds as antibacterial agents. The compounds have the general formula (I) Preferably the compounds have a carboxyethyl or a substituted carboxymethyl substituent at the 2-position and a hydroxyl group at the 5-position and have a molecular shape suitable for binding to and reacting with the active site of a pencillin-recognizing enzyme. The compounds are synthesized by condensing a carboxyl-protected N-hydroxy amino acid with a 3-hydroxyprotected-4-bromobutanoic acid to form a a doubly protected N-hydroxy N-acylamino acid, which is cyclized with an organic base to yield a: doubly protected 1,2-oxazin-3-one. The protecting groups are then removed to provide an antibacterial agent.
