Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A method of controlling lice, mites or their ova which comprises applying to a human or an animal in need of such control, an effective toxic amount of at least one alkyl amine oxide wherein said oxide is of the formula ##STR2## wherein R is alkyl, alkenyl or alkylaminoalkyl of 8 to 20 carbon atoms and R' and R" are individually selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl and hydroxy lower alkyl, or are linked so as to form with the nitrogen to which they are attached a morpholine group.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
91 words
A method of controlling lice, mites or their ova which comprises applying to a human or an animal in need of such control, an effective toxic amount of at least one alkyl amine oxide wherein said oxide is of the formula ##STR2## wherein R is alkyl, alkenyl or alkylaminoalkyl of 8 to 20 carbon atoms and R' and R" are individually selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl and hydroxy lower alkyl, or are linked so as to form with the nitrogen to which they are attached a morpholine group.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said oxide is selected from the group consisting of N-lauryl-N,N-dimethylamine oxide, N-myristyl-N,N-dimethylamine oxide, N-coco-N,N-dimethylamine oxide, N-cocomorpholine oxide, N-hydrogenated tallow-N,N-dimethylamine oxide, N-tallow-N,N-bis-(2-hydroxyethyl)-amine oxide and N-cocoamidopropyl-N,N-dimethylamine oxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said oxide is N-stearyl-N,N-dimethylamine oxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said oxide is employed in combination with an inert pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 4 wherein said carrier is aqueous.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said alkyl amine oxide is employed in combination with an aliphatic alcohol.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 6 wherein said alcohol is isopropanol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
19 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said oxide is employed in combination with an inert aqueous pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
