A biocidal/antiviral composition comprises a quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) in combination with a reagent that increases the cationic charge on the QAC to thereby increase the biocidal/antiviral effect of the QAC. In preferred aspects, the reagent is urea hydrochloride and the QAC is dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride.

The present disclosure describes compositions and methods for deactivating coronavirus. A method includes providing a deactivation composition including one or more CSA compounds and a carrier, administering the deactivation composition to a subject, and the deactivation composition deactivating coronavirus virions in the subject or coming into contact with the subject. The method can thereby prevent, decrease, or inhibit a coronavirus infection, such as COVID-19, of the subject.

The present invention relates to a pesticide composition intended for protecting plants, crops or seeds against fungal diseases or insect damages, and the corresponding methods of protection by application of the said composition. More precisely, the subject of the present invention is a pesticide composition based on a tetrazolyloxime derivative and a fungicide or an insecticide active substance or compound.

The present invention relates to a method of improving the growth and/or the yield of plants grown on agriculturally or horticulturally utilized substrates by applying at least one active compound (nitrification inhibitor) on agriculturally or horticulturally utilized substrates, wherein the at least one active compound I is added to the irrigation system in a water-dissolved form.

The compositions and methods described herein are topically applied to the skin with negligible or no skin irritation and can direct or prevent transport through the skin. The compositions contain neat ionic liquids, optionally in combination with a drug to be delivered. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions increase transdermal transport of the drug to be delivered. In some embodiments, the compositions disrupt bacterial biofilms. This is particularly beneficial in the treatment of antibiotic resistant skin infections. In other embodiments, the compositions direct delivery within the skin. In still other embodiments, the compositions prevent transfer of substances through the stratum corneum. The disclosed compositions and methods can be tuned and modified such that they can be used to treat or prevent a variety of different diseases and disorders.
