Abstract: Disclosed are aqueous, stable, relatively concentrated solutions of diclofenac, which contain a mixture of propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol in defined quantitative proportions. The solutions preferably contain a local anesthetic such as lidocaine and a reducing agent as stabilizer.

Abstract: A cosmetic and pharmaceutical composition in the form of non-aqueous antimicrobial creams, lotions, and gels for topical application to the skin comprises bovine bone marrow acids mixed with lecithin for prevention of the fatty acid oxidation and odor putrefaction. The preparation of this product is accomplished without the use or incorporation of any inorganic chemicals, petroleum products, additional water. The heat treated solution provides relief for dry, flaky, and itchy skin and particularly for non-specific dermatitis and rashes.

Abstract: The present invention is a cosmetic composition that raffinose ester of higher fatty acid having carbon atoms from 14 to 20 and cane sugar fatty acid ester are used in parallel, further solcoseryl is compounded to the above. The composition according to the present invention are stable and do not give the irritation on the skin, has no variable nature and has an excellent moisture retaining ability, and then can give the cosmetics which the feeling obtained by employing said cosmetics is very satisfactory. Further the solcoseryl that the substance which deoxyribonucleic acid is dissolved in the raffinose ester of higher fatty acid is added under the sterile condition can be compounded in this cosmetic composition.

Abstract: Improved cosmetic compositions for skin care containing an amount sufficient for skin care of glycoprotein extracts of lysed microbial bodies of Hafnia species or strains prepared by (a) cultivating a microbial Hafnia strain until complete development of microbial bodies, (b) subjecting the microbial bodies to lysis, (c) treating the lysate with at least one solvent for delipidation and depigmentation of the lysate, (d) dissolving the resulting product, (e) subjecting the solution to centrifugation and (f) optionally subjecting the resulting product to ultrafiltration and a method of improving a person's skin.

Abstract: A new and improved vehicle for delivering pharmaceutical ingredients to the human skin in a manner whereby the bioavailability, subcutaneous adsorption, and effectiveness of the active ingredient are remarkably enhanced. The vehicle comprises a volatile silicone, a fatty alcohol having from 12-22 carbon atoms, a preselected active ingredient; and such preservatives or emulsifying agents as may be warranted.

Abstract: An ointment containing Indole or an Indole derivative such as Indomethacin and a base; and a process for treating inflammations and lesions on the human skin including the step of applying an ointment containing such an ingredient to the sore.

Abstract: This invention relates to a substitute for mineral oil in toiletry and cosmetics. In particular it relates to blends of esters which match the viscosity and feel of mineral oil. Specifically, it relates to ester blends which include tridecyl trimellitate.Tridecyl trimellitate ("TDTM") is the ester of tridecyl alcohol and trimellitic acid, and has recently been offered for use to the cosmetics industry.It has surprisingly been found that by blending tridecyl trimellitate with other esters, the viscosity and feel of mineral oil can be matched, the resulting product being a substitute for mineral oil in toiletry and cosmetic compositions.

Abstract: Method and pharmaceutical composition for topically treating skin inflammatory disorders by administering to the inflamed area a therapeutically effective amount of a substantially non-polar hydrocarbon fraction from beeswax comprising a mixture of (i) a major proportion of saturated straight chain C.sub.21 -C.sub.33 hydrocarbons and (ii) a minor proportion of mono-unsaturated long chain hydrocarbons.

Abstract: The compounds 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof are useful as antiviral agents. The compound 1,3-dibenzyloxy-2-acetyloxy-methoxypropane is useful as an intermediate for the preparation of 9-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-propoxymethyl)guanine.

Abstract: There is provided a dermatological composition for treating acne and similar skin lesions which comprises benzoyl peroxide and gel from the plant Aloe vera. The gel from Aloe vera helps to reduce specific undesirable reactions which would otherwise result from the use of benzoyl peroxide to treat skin lesions.

Abstract: A method of treating various sensitive animal body tissues comprising applying to the tissue a solution prepared from specially processed seawater. The solution is prepared by filtering off-shore seawater to remove debris in small organisms, sterilizing the filtered solution and diluting thereafter with tap water or distilled water to lower the solution's osmolality to about 280 mOs, which renders the solution compatible and isotonic with the tissue to be treated.

Abstract: A novel compound bis-(N,N-dimethyl-N-carbodecyloxymethyl-N-ethyleneammonium)-sulphide dichloride of the formula ##STR1## A method for preparing said novel compound comprising quaternization of bis-(.beta.-dimethylaminoethyl)-sulphide with monochloroacetic acid decyl ester, molar ratio of said reagents being not more than 1:2.A chemotherapeutic antimicrobial preparation comprising said novel compound as an active principle in combination with a pharmaceutical carrier.A plant growth regulator in the form of an aqueous solution of said novel compound in a concentration of from 0.0001 to 0.1 wt. %.

Abstract: The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition in the form of a water-containing cream which contains at least one glycyrrhetinic acid derivative (as hereinbefore defined), together with at least one non-toxic, water-soluble salt of zinc, calcium and/or magnesium as stabilizer.

Abstract: In addition to indometacin, the gel-like ointment for the topical treatment of inflammation contains a water-soluble cellulose ether or/and a polyacrylic acid, the carboxyl groups of which are neutralized by a water-soluble amine, plus water and ethanol or isopropanol; the components are present in the ratio of amounts suitable for forming a gel. Determination of the level of indometacin in the serum of humans has shown that the absorption through the skin of the active compound from the new ointment is significantly higher than that from the most closely related products.
