COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING 1-SUBSTITUTED AZACYCLOALKANES AND THEIR USES

摘要

Compositions comprising a compound having structural formula (I), wherein X may represent sulfur or two hydrogen atoms; R' is H or a lower alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms; m is 2-6; n is 0-18 and R is -CH3, formula (II) or formula (III), wherein R'' is H or halogen. The invention also provides compositions comprising a physiologically-active agent and the hereinabove recited 1-substituted azacyclo-alkane compound in an amount effective to enhance the penetration of the physiologically-active agent through the skin or other membrane of the body of an animal. Other compositions of 1-substituted azacycloalkanes and their uses relate to an improved method of dyeing fibers, improved delivery of plant nutrients, improved plant pest control, improved delivery of plant growth regulations, improved acid-catalyzed conversion of a reactant into a reaction product and an improved insect repellant.
