  • Patent number: 5182304
    Abstract: N-lower alkyl neoalkanamides (N-lower alkyl trialkylacetamides of certain types) of 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the lower alkyl thereof and of 5 to 14 carbon atoms in the neoalkanoyl (or trialkylacetyl) group, e.g., N-methyl- and N-ethyl neodecanamides and N-methyl and N-ethyl neotridecanamides, are new compounds, secondary amides which have insect repellent properties, being especially effective against cockroaches, e.g., the German cockroach. However, they are also useful as repellents for other insects, including American cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, fleas, ants, and lice. Additionally, they may repel arachnids, such as spiders, ticks and mites. The new neoalkanamides may be synthesized easily, as by reacting a primary lower alkyl amine with a neoalkanoyl halide, e.g. by reacting methyl amine or ethyl amine with neodecanoyl chloride.The most effective of the described amides for insect repellency are normally liquid and are sufficiently volatile to be detectable in air by insects.

    Abstract: A second-step virus binding receptor is found in nature on the surface of animal and plant cells. This receptor is thought to be needed for virus penetration into target cells. The second-step receptor has been found to bind a wide variety of viruses belonging to a number of different families. The second-step receptor and natural or synthetic substances which correspond to or are analogous to the binding epitope of the second-step receptor in that they are able to bind to a site on the virus which recognizes the binding epitope of the natural second-step receptor, are therefore indicated for the diagnosis, prophylaxis or treatment of viral infections.

  • Patent number: 4647589
    Abstract: Aqueous substrates are treated to inhibit microbiological growth by addition of dimethylaminopropylmethacrylamide or dimethylaminopropylacrylamide.In the presence of corrosion inhibitors, it is found that the instant biocides will permit attainment of 100% biocidal kill when present in lesser amounts than are required when no corrosion inhibitor is present. Presence of the instant biocides causes no deletrious impact upon the corrosion inhibitors; and in fact an improvement in corrosion inhibition is observed in the presence of the biocide.
