Abstract: A process of inhibiting the growth of, severely damaging, or killing plants which process comprises applying to the plant or to the growth medium thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising as active ingredient a compound of formula I: ##STR1## wherein A, B and D are independently chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, hydroxy, nitro, cyano, thiocyano, optionally substituted alkyl, optionally substituted alkenyl, optionally substituted alkoxy, optionally substituted alkenyloxy, optionally substituted alkynyloxy, optionally substituted alkylthio, optionally substituted cycloalkyl, optionally substituted amino, optionally substituted phenyl, carboxy, alkoxycarbonyl, optionally substituted carbamoyl, sulfo, alkylsulfonyl and optionally substituted sulfamoyl; R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.

Abstract: The novel compounds of the formula I are useful selective herbicides for postemergence application in crops of cereals, maize and rice.In formula I, ##STR1## A is an unsubstituted or substituted amino group, Q is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkylene bridge, Y is an oxygen or sulfur atom or an unsubstituted or substituted nitrogen atom, and Z is an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, naphthyl or heterocyclic radical, which phenyl radical, containing the bridge member Y, can additionally carry one to four further substituents.

Abstract: Novel derivatives of pyrimid-2-one having interesting pharmacological properties are described. The compounds of the invention have been found to be of use in the control of, and in particular in the inhibition of the metaphase of malignant tumours and leukaemias. Processes for the preparation of the novel compounds and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are also described.

Abstract: Polymeric dyes of the present invention have the formula: ##STR1## wherein Me represents the methyl group, x can range from 2 to 100, y can range from 20 to 300, and the ratio of x:y is at least 1:10 and is preferably from 1:5 to 1:1. The symbol L represents the divalent group which connects the chromophoric moiety and the polysiloxane moiety together by covalent bonds. L is conveniently a saturated divalent aliphatic group which connects the silicon atom to the chromophoric group by a non-hydrolyzable covalent bond. Chromo represents an aromatic chromophore which imparts color to the polymer molecule. The polmeric dyes of the present invention can be used to dye natural fibers such as silk, wool, and cotton and to color plastics such as nylon, Dynel, Acrilan, acetate, and viscore. In addition, the polymeric dyes can also be used as a food dye when water soluble groups are present (e.g., on the chromophores) to impart water solubility to the polymeric dye.

Abstract: New derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## (wherein X is O or NH; R.sub.1 is --OH which may optionally be etherified or esterified, etherified mercapto or --NH.sub.2 which may optionally be substituted; R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, respectively, mean H, lower alkyl or ##STR2## and Y is an esterified or amidated carboxyl group, or CN). These derivatives are produced, by fluorination of corresponding 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2,4-dioxopyrimidine compounds and can be converted into 5-fluorouracil derivatives under hydrolytic conditions. The new derivatives are able to prolong the lives of animals having carcinomas or have antiviral activity.

Abstract: Compounds useful as tracers in the radioimmunoassay of barbiturates: ##STR1## wherein (a) R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.4 are identical to the substituents found at these positions in the barbiturate which is to be assayed;(b) at least one R.sub.3 is a radioiodinatable radical; and(c) if only one R.sub.3 is a radioiodinatable radical then the remaining R.sub.3 is identical to the substituent found at this position in the barbiturate which is to be assayed; and the radioiodinated derivatives of said compounds.
