Substances which are subject to microbial spoilage are preserved by addition of certain compounds, e.g., 3-0-methyl-quercetin; a composition of 5-0-methyl- and 7-0-methylquercetin; 4- or 7-methoxycoumarin; 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-benzofuran; or various mixtures of these.

Control of vampire bats is accomplished by capture of individual bats, application of a slow-acting toxicant to the bodies of the individuals, and subsequent release of the treated bats. After release, the bats return to their roosting sites where the toxicant is spread to other vampires, resulting in death of a large percentage of the bats.

Compounds useful for treating cellular proliferative diseases and disorders by modulating the activity of KSP are disclosed.

This invention relates to a method for the control of helminths in homothermic domestic and farm animals by administering to said animals on anthelmintically effective amount of a benzopyran compound.

The present invention concerns the use of cloricromene (8-chloro-3(.beta.-diethylaminoethyl)-4-methyl-7-ethoxycarbonylmethoxy coumarin) base and the salts thereof to prepare pharmaceutical compositions with cholesterol-lowering activity.

A method of treating high-protein oedemas in humans or animals by administering the compound 7 hydroxy-coumarin.

The invention relates to the treatment of schizophrenia and senile macular degeneration by administering any one of the benzo-pyrone group of drugs.

A composition for preventing the aggregation of platelets comprising, as an essential ingredient thereof, 8-bromo- or 8-chloro-3-(.beta.-diethylaminoethyl)-4-methyl-7-ethoxycarbonylmethoxycoum arin, and the use thereof.

Thrust nozzles are mounted in vertically stacked array on the aft end of an aircraft jet engine nacelle, and thrust reversing doors are mounted on opposite sides of the nozzles for movement between: (1) a stowed position adjacent to said nozzles; (2) a partially deployed position wherein the doors are translated rearwardly from their stowed position so as to deflect slipstream air against exhaust gas issuing from said nozzles; and (3) a fully deployed position wherein the doors abut downstream f...

Unsubstituted or substituted 5-iodo-6-amino-1,2-benzopyrones and their metabolites are potent, selective and non-toxic inhibitors and supressants of cancer growth and viral infections in a mammalian host. The compounds are particularly useful for treatment and supression of tumors and viruses associated with AIDS, herpetic episodes and cytomegaloviral infections. The methods of treatment of tumorigenic and viral diseases by 5-iodo-6-amino-1,2-benzopyrones and/or its metabolites are described.
