Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 104 words
A method of inhibiting the growth of protozoa in animals which comprises administering a protozoal inhibiting amount of an α-substituted amino acid or an α-substituted amine having the formula ##STR35## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or carboxy; Y is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 F, CHF 2 , CF 3 and C.tbd.CH; Z is selected from the group consisting of H 2 N--(CH 2 ) 3 , ##STR36## and H 2 N-CH 2 CH═CH; with the proviso that when R 1 is hydrogen, Y cannot be CF 3 and Z must be ##STR37## and the salts and individual optical isomers thereof.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 104 words
A method of inhibiting the growth of protozoa in animals which comprises administering a protozoal inhibiting amount of an α-substituted amino acid or an α-substituted amine having the formula ##STR35## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or carboxy; Y is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 F, CHF 2 , CF 3 and C.tbd.CH; Z is selected from the group consisting of H 2 N--(CH 2 ) 3 , ##STR36## and H 2 N-CH 2 CH═CH; with the proviso that when R 1 is hydrogen, Y cannot be CF 3 and Z must be ##STR37## and the salts and individual optical isomers thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 11 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein R 1 is hydrogen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 11 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein R 1 is carboxy.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein Z is ##STR38## or H 2 N--(CH 2 ) 3 .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein Y is CHF 2 .
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 33 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein the animals are fowl and the α-substituted amino acid or α-substituted amine is administered to their drinking water at a concentration of from 0.01% to 2.0%.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 24 words
The method according to claim 6 wherein the α-substituted amino acid or α-substituted amine is administered at a concentration of from 0.06% to 1.0%.
Claim 9
Independent Claim 120 words
A method of inhibiting the growth of protozoa in animals which comprises administering a protozoal inhibiting amount of an α-substituted amino acid or an α-substituted amine having the formula ##STR39## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or carboxy; Y is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 F, CHF 2 , CF 3 and C.tbd.CH; is selected from the group consisting of H 2 N--(CH 2 ) 3 , ##STR40## and H 2 N-CH 2 CH═CH; with the proviso that when R 1 is hydrogen, Y cannot be CF 3 and Z must be ##STR41## and the salts and individual optical isomers thereof in combination with an antiprotozoal agent selected from the group consisting of Antrycide, Pentamidine, Amicarbalide and Bleomycin.
Claim 10
Independent Claim 120 words
A method of inhibiting the growth of protozoa in animals which comprises administering a protozoal inhibiting amount of an α-substituted amino acid or an α-substituted amine having the formula ##STR39## wherein R 1 is hydrogen or carboxy; Y is selected from the group consisting of CH 2 F, CHF 2 , CF 3 and C.tbd.CH; is selected from the group consisting of H 2 N--(CH 2 ) 3 , ##STR40## and H 2 N-CH 2 CH═CH; with the proviso that when R 1 is hydrogen, Y cannot be CF 3 and Z must be ##STR41## and the salts and individual optical isomers thereof in combination with an antiprotozoal agent selected from the group consisting of Antrycide, Pentamidine, Amicarbalide and Bleomycin.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 11 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein R 1 is hydrogen.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 11 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein R 1 is carboxy.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein Z is ##STR42## or H 2 N-(CH 2 ) 3 .
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein Y is CHF 2 .
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 33 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein the animals are fowl and the α-substituted amino acid or α-substituted amine is administered to their drinking water at a concentration of from 0.01% to 2.0%.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 24 words
A method according to claim 13 wherein the α-substituted amino acid or α-substituted amine is administered at a concentration of from 0.06% to 1.0%.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 1 wherein Y is CH 2 F.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method according to claim 8 wherein Y is CH 2 F.
