Abstract:
Rifamycin derivatives having antimicrobial activities, including activities against drug-resistant microorganisms are claimed in this invention. The inventive rifamycin derivatives are uniquely designed in that they have a rifamycin moiety covalently linked to a linker group through the C-3 carbon of the rifamycin moiety and the linker is, in turn covalently linked to a therapeutic moiety or antibacterial agent/pharmacophore. The therapeutic moiety can be a quinolone, an oxazolidinone, a macrolide, an aminoglycoside, a tetracycline core or a structure/pharmacophore associated with an antibacterial agent.
Abstract:
A support arm device for use in supporting a spray head in spraying liquids. The device comprises an elongated support portion having a longitudinal axis, and an elongated mounting portion attached at a point between its ends to one end of the support portion. The mounting portion has a longitudinal axis transverse to the axis of the support portion and at least one end of the mounting portion includes fastner. The device further includes an elongated leg portion attached to the other end of the support portion and having a longitudinal axis transverse to the axis of the support portion. A releasable clamp is about the leg portion, the clamp for securing a spray head into the device.
