Antiviral biomimetic polymers (ABPs) are disclosed that can be used to prevent and/or treat viral disease. The ABPs are discovered by a process involving high-throughput screening of polymer libraries using disease-relevant bioactive molecules as target molecules. ABPs can be nanoscale (termed nanoABPs) or larger. Methods are described for the preparation and use of ABPs as prophylactics and therapeutics (in vivo) and as preventative agents, for example, in personal protective equipment (ex vivo). ABPs can be used to prevent and treat viral diseases including those caused by Filoviridae.

A multipurpose mosquito repellent composition obtained by a process of forming a foundation mixture by mixing an anti-insect extract/essential oil with at least two odorless and anti-insect effect prolonging extract/essential oils; and mixing the foundation mixture with a plurality of aromatic and medicinal oils in a specific order with each of the plurality of aromatic and medicinal oils having a specific predetermined percentage (%) by weight relative to the total weight of the multipurpose mosquito repellent composition.

The invention discloses persistent antimicrobial protection of hands and/or surfaces of different objects using the hydro-alcoholic gel composition of the present invention. In particular, the invention provides water-resistant sanitizing hydro-alcoholic gel compositions based on ethyl alcohol, silver nanoparticles and fatty acids of Tung seed oil (Aleurites fordii). More particularly, it discloses the compositions that keep the surface sanitized well beyond the instant sanitization provided by volatile ethyl alcohol. The compositions of the present invention have ‘natural origin’ index of minimum 99% as per ISO 16128-2.

A preservative composition is described that may be used in personal care products and other products for protecting the products against bacteria and fungus during production and during use. The composition can about 3 to about 15% by weight of an organic acid; about 3 to about 15% by weight of a C.sub.8-C.sub.18 fatty alcohol; about 30 to about 60% by weight of an aromatic alcohol; and about 30 to about 60% by weight of an organic solvent.

A topical serum and its method of production and use. The serum is used to treat damage on plant tissue, such as damaged leaves. The serum triggers the immunity responses of the plant, therein enabling the damaged tissue to heal, rather than die and fall away from the plant. The serum is a combination of aqueous solutions. The first solution contains at least one immunity response compound that is selected from methyl jasmonate and methyl salicylate. The second solution contains at least one B vitamin. The solutions are mixed to form a topical serum. The topical serum is applied over the damaged tissue, wherein the immunity response compounds enhance the pattern-triggered immunity response and the effector-triggered immunity response of the plant. The vitamin B solution inhibits the oxidation and preserves undamaged. tissue.
