Patent number: 8088829Abstract: A novel combination of OPA, a surfactant, and alcohol. The surfactant is preferably a dual chain quaternary ammonium compound consisting of a mixture of alkyl dimethylbenzylammonium chlorides and alkyl dimethylethylbenzylammonium, that absorbs onto a surface and alters the free energy of that surface.

Patent number: 4654374Abstract: The invention is an improved disinfectant and sterilant in a chemical form. The disinfectant and sterilant formulation is based upon glutaraldehyde which must be in acidic form. The normal pH range for the disinfectant and sterilant is 3.0-3.5, however, under controlled circumstances the range may be 2.5-7.0; as the disinfectant and sterilant must be acidic, it cannot be over pH 7.0. In use as a disinfectant by immersion, the items or materials remain immersed for up to ten minutes. As a sterilant, the immersion is between six and ten hours. The disinfectant and sterilant consists of a plurality of chemicals mixed with the glutaraldehyde as a solution.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1985Date of Patent: March 31, 1987Inventor: Howard Martin

Patent number: 4613588Abstract: Benzaldehyde and 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucose have been found to have analgesic activity. It is believed that this analgesic activity results from the inhibition of enkephalinase. Therefore benzaldehyde and 4,6-O-benzylidene-D-glucose are also useful for inhibiting enkephalinase in humans.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1985Date of Patent: September 23, 1986Assignee: Kaken Pharmaceutical Co.
