Abstract: O,S-Dialkyl ((piperazinyl)carbonyl)phosphoramidothioates are prepared by the reaction of O,S-dialkyl phosphoroisocyanatidothioates with substituted piperazines and found to be effective plant systemic and contact insecticides. ((4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-1-piperazinyl)carbonyl)phosphoramidothioate, for example, is prepared from O,S-dimethyl phosphoroisocyanatidothioate and 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)piperazine and found to control aster leafhoppers when applied to rice plants.

Abstract: A class of phenyl glycine compounds is described for treatment to reduce neurotoxic injury associated with anoxia or ischemia which typically follows stroke, cardiac arrest or perinatal asphyxia. The treatment includes administration of a phenyl glycine compound alone or in a composition in an amount effective as an antagonist to inhibit excitotoxic actions at major neuronal excitatory amino acid receptor sites.
