An applicator includes a hollow body having a central longitudinal axis to hold a colored ink, a shoulder portion, a central recessed portion, and a base portion. The shoulder portion is located above and merging with the central recessed portion at an upper end thereof and includes a top wall having an opening. The base portion is located below and merges with the central recessed portion at a lower end thereof and includes a bottom wall. The central recessed portion has a smooth continuous sid...

A novel antibiotic substance, named "Mycoplanecin", of presently unknown structural formula, is produced by cultivating a Mycoplanecin-producing microorganism of the genus Actinoplanes, especially the Actinoplanes nov. sp. Strain No. 41042, NRRL No. 11462.

A novel antibiotic substance, named "Mycoplanecin", of presently unknown structural formula, is produced by cultivating a Mycoplanecin-producing microorganism of the genus Actinoplanes, especially the Actinoplanes nov. sp. Strain No. 41042, NRRL No. 11462.

The present invention relates to a novel polypeptide having the following presumed structure: ##STR1## and the compound has both excellent fungicidal and protozoicidal effects.

The present invention provides an infrared fluorescent substance comprising a component represented by general formula AQO.sub.3 :X (A is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ca, Sr and Ba, Q is Ti or Zr, and X is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Nd and Yb), and optionally comprising component Y (Al, Ga or In) and/or component Z (Sc, Y, Gd, Bi, Lu or La). Said fluorescent substance is free from the faults of phosphate type fluorescent substances, n...

A substance SS42227 represented by the following formula (I): ##STR1## in which X represents >CH.sub.2 or >C=CHOH. The substance has antimicrobial and antitumor activities, and thus is useful as a medicine.

There are provided 4,5-Dihydroxy-2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohepten-1-one, a method for preparing the same and an antiulcer agent containing the same as an effective ingredient.

An antibacterial substance comprising a peptide comprising a fragment constituting lepidopteran A and containing the N-terminal amino acid residue of the lepidopteran A, wherein the carboxyl group at the C-terminal of said peptide is substituted with an alkyl amide group represented by Formula (I): wherein n is an integer of 2 to 16. This antibacterial substance shows good antibacterial activities against various bacteria, and is useful as pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.

A resinous substance obtained by reacting a rosin compound containing 1 to 10 equivalents of carboxylic groups per kilogram with triglycidyl isocyanurate. A process for producing it is also disclosed.

An applicator (30) for applying or delivering a substance into a body cavity includes a deformable reservoir (12) for receiving and expelling the substance. The reservoir (12) has an inlet (20) spaced from an outlet, the inlet (20) being configured to be connected to a container containing the substance. Valve means (14) is positioned in the inlet (20) to inhibit flow of the substance into the body cavity is in flow communication with the reservoir (12) through the outlet of the reservoir (12).
