摘要:
Dentifrice compositions including specific aldobionamides having a .beta.-galactosidic linkage e.g., lactobionamides, which act as antimicrobial agents and/or inhibitors of bacterial adhesion.
摘要:
Oral hygiene antiplaque compositions which include as an active ingredient a glyceroglycolipid having an amine or ether linkage and containing a .beta.-D-galactose moiety (a sugar moiety recognized by lectins on oral bacteria). The compositions containing glyceroglycolipids provide enhanced inhibition of bacterial adhesive interactions and may provide a surfactancy benefit and/or antibacterial benefit.
摘要:
Oil-in-water emulsions can be formed using surfactants with biospecific headgroups. Emulsion droplets adhere to surfaces of microorganisms or to various biological surface bearing appropriate adhesins, thus delivering surfactant materials directly to various surfaces. Lipophilic materials and essential oils can be targeted in this way. The emulsions may be incorporated into oral hygiene non-food compositions or compositions for topical application to skin, hair or nails.
摘要:
Transglutaminase crosslinks proteins by catalyzing the formation of isopeptide bonds between lysine and glutamine residues. Transglutaminase may be used to crosslink beneficial actives containing an amine moiety to glutamine residues in skin, hair or nails. A variety of beneficial actives, e.g., sunscreens, antimicrobial compounds, skin conditioning agents, hair conditioning agents, anti-inflammatory compounds, antioxidants, coloring agents, perfumes, insect repellants, can thus be delivered to human skin, hair, or nails.
摘要:
Oral hygiene antiplaque compositions which include as an active ingredient an amino sugar containing a sugar moiety recognized by lectins on oral bacteria (e.g., .beta.-D-galactose, .beta.-D-N-acetyl galactosamine, L-rhamnose and .beta.-D-fucose) and in which nitrogen is linked to carbon number 1. The amino sugars singly or in combination with each other provide enhanced inhibition of bacterial aggregation, surfactancy, and antimicrobial activity.
