Compositions are provided to immobilize and protect oxidase enzymes from proteolytic and hydrolytic attack, utilizing a porous, inert organic, or inorganic, substrate matrix useful in generating hydrogen peroxide in situ for use in oral, topical mucosal and intracavity uses for use in or on the human body and other mammalian, reptile, fish and amphibians. The selected porosity of the support matrix provides the basis for generating hydrogen peroxide on a steady state basis. Both diatomaceous earth and silica gel, either in natural or pre-silanized forms, allow for the excluding of non-preferred enzymes from the support matrix, and for diffusion of the peroxide in the reduction of oral pathogens and their attendant malodorous compounds, or other pathogens in the mucosa, bodily fluids and cavities, in addition to oxidizing color bodies to affect bleaching.

Immobilized glucose oxidase for use in oral hygiene

The present invention provides a radio-opaque composition including a polymer or monomer, wherein the polymer or monomer has a non-leachable radio-opaque moiety. The non-leachable radio-opaque moiety is covalently attached to the polymer or monomer.

Radio-opaque polymeric compositions

The present invention provides a mammalian teat dip composition capable of being used during a mammal's dry period comprising a solution of a film-forming polymer blend comprising a first polymer component which is an organic, solvent-soluble, preformed, thermoplastic polyurethane having no reactive isocyanate groups and a second polymer component which is a hydrophilic poly(N-vinyl lactam), said blend capable of withstanding exposure to water without significant loss of said hydrophilic poly(N-vinyl lactam) in an amount sufficient to form a water-resistant film upon topical application to mammalian skin; and wherein said blend comprises from about 10 to about 80 weight percent of said first polymer in combination with said solvent and from about 1 to about 20 weight percent of said second polymer; and at least one antimicrobial agent in an amount sufficient to treat and protect mammalian skin from infection; wherein said composition is capable of being removed by peeling.

Hydrophilic polymer blends used for dry cow therapy

The invention discloses a mammalian teat dip for controlling mastitis, a method for preparing the composition and a method of treatment of mammals. The composition contains a film-forming polymer blend, at least one antimicrobial and a sodium bicarbonate buffering agent. The polymer blend contains a solvent-soluble, thermoplastic polyurethane and a hydrophilic poly(N-vinyl lactam). Upon application to mammalian skin, this composition leaves a long-lasting, water-resistant, residual, elastic film that treats and protects mammalian skin from infection.
