  • Publication number: 20120071531
    Abstract: Process for the protection of fish and invertebrates and all their stages of development against or for the treatment of mycoses caused by fungi of the genera Saprolegnia, Aphanomyces, Achlyaflagellata and other species important in aquacultures by use of 2-[[[[1-[3-(1-fluoro-2-phenylethyl)oxy]phenyl]ethylidene]amino]oxy]methyl]alpha-(methoxyimino)-N-methyl-alphaE-benzeneacetamide, amisulbrom, cyazofamid, enestrobin, famoxadone, fenamidone, fluoxastrobin, orysastrobin, picoxystrobin and pyribencarb. This use leads to an inhibition or destruction of pathogenic fungi. The composition, comprising at least one fungicide selected from the abovementioned group for use in fish farming and keeping is suitable for the prophylaxis and therapy of diseases of fish in aquaculture, in breeding ponds, breeding tanks, aquariums, natural stretches of game fish waters, ponds, and marine fish farms. Addition to the water and feed and direct application are the associated use forms.

  • Patent number: 8133911
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel class of (R)-4-(heteroaryl)phenylpropionic derivatives of formula (I), useful in the inhibition of the chemotactic activation induced by the fraction C5a of complement. Said compounds are useful in the treatment of pathologies depending on the chemotactic activation of neutrophils and monocytes induced by the fraction C5a of the complement. In particular, the compounds of the invention are useful in the treatment of autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), psoriasis, bullous pemphigoid, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, acute respiratory distress syndrome, idiopathic fibrosis, glomerulonephritis and in the prevention and treatment of injury caused by ischemia and reperfusion.

  • Patent number: 8128906
    Abstract: Uncoated particles of reversed cubic phase or reversed hexagonal phase material containing an active disposed within are provided. The uncoated particles have an ionic charge that is sufficient to stabilize them in dispersion in a liquid, e.g. a polar solvent. The active that is disposed within the particles may be, for example, a pharmaceutical or nutriceutical compound.
