The present application relates to method of vaccinating a subject against infection by an enveloped virus. The method includes providing a compound of the Formula (I) as described herein, and contacting the compound of Formula (I) with an isolated enveloped virus, having a membrane, to inactivate the membrane of the isolated enveloped virus. The subject is then treated with the enveloped virus having an inactivated membrane to vaccinate the subject against the enveloped virus. Further disclosed is an ex vivo vaccine composition including the compound of Formula (I) and an enveloped virus.

Methods and compositions are provided for treating neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, attention deficit disorder, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and bipolar disorder. The methods entail administering to a patient diagnosed as having a neuropsychiatric disorder (e.g., schizophrenia, depression, attention deficit disorder, mild cognitive impairment, dementia bipolar disorder, etc.) or as at risk for a neuropsychiatric disorder a benzoic acid, benzoic acid salt, and/or benzoic acid derivative, and/or a sorbic acid, sorbic acid salt, and/or sorbic acid derivative, in combination with a neuropharmacological agent (e.g., an antipsychotic, an antidepressant, medications for attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, cognitive impairment, or dementia, etc.) where the benzoic acid, benzoic acid salt, or benzoic acid derivative, and/or a sorbic acid, sorbic acid salt, and/or sorbic acid derivative, is in an amount sufficient to increase the efficacy of the neuropharmacological agent.
