Abstract The invention relates to new compositions useful in the field of treatment of man, animals and plants. The compounds are of the formula : ##STR1## wherein : R-CO is the acyl moiety of a straight fatty acid RCOOH comprising from 6 to 20 carbon atoms. ##STR2## represents either the skeleton of the amino acid ##STR3## in which R 1 is conventionally used to allow the generic designation of any of the naturally occurring α amino acids obtained by degradation of the various proteins, or the ensemble of skeletons of all the α aminoacids obtained by complete hydrolysis of the natural proteins, said compositions containing the alpha aminoacids in proportions similar to that ones existing in the proteins treated. M is a metal selected from within: magnesium, calcium, iron, cobalt, manganese, copper, zinc, molybdenum and aluminium. m is the valency of the selected M n is an integer inferior to m. Some detailed examples of compositions are given.
A compound of the formula ##STR44## wherein: (a) R--CO is the acyl moiety of a straight fatty acid RCOOH comprising from 6 to 20 carbon atoms; (b) ##STR45## represents the skeleton of the amino acid ##STR46## in which R 1 is conventionally used to allow the generic designation of any of the naturally occurring amino acids obtained by degradation of the various proteins; (c) M is a metal selected from the group consisting of magnesium, calcium, iron, cobalt, manganese, copper, zinc, molybdenum and aluminium; (d) m is the valency of the selected M; and (e) n is an integer inferior to m.
