Estimating the term…
This invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibiting the transmission of enveloped viruses, which entails applying a composition containing a high molecular weight hydrophobically-modified polymer to an infectable or ingestible surface that may contain viruses and wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
A method of inhibiting entry of enveloped viruses into cells comprising contacting said viruses with an anti-viral composition comprising at least one high molecular weight hydrophobically modified polymer in an amount effective to inhibit entry of viruses into cells, wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
A method of inhibiting entry of enveloped viruses comprising contacting infectable surfaces with an anti-viral composition comprising at least one high molecular weight hydrophobically modified polymers in an amount effective to inhibit entry of viruses into cells, said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
A method of inhibiting entry of enveloped viruses according to claim 21 further comprising contacting said viruses with said anti-viral composition.
An anti-viral composition comprising at least one high molecular weight hydrophobically modified polymers in an amount effective to inhibit entry of viruses into cells and at least 55% water, wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
An anti-viral composition comprising at least one high molecular weight hydrophobically modified polymers in an amount effective to inhibit entry of viruses into cells and at least 97% water, wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than about 12.
A method of inhibiting the transmission of viruses comprising applying to non-biological surfaces a composition comprising at least one high molecular weight hydrophobically modified polymer in an amount effective to inhibit entry of viruses into cells wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than 12.
A method of inhibiting the transmission of viruses comprising applying to ingestable surfaces a composition comprising at least one high molecular weight hydrophobically modified polymers in an amount effective to inhibit entry of viruses into cells wherein said anti-viral composition comprises less than about 9% by weight of surfactant having an HLB greater than 12.
A composition according to claim 28 wherein said hydrophobically modified high molecular weight polymer is a hydrophobically-modified alkali swellable emulsion polymer.
A composition according to claim 29 wherein said hydrophobically modified high molecular weight polymer comprises a hydrophobically modified alkali swellable emulsion polymer selected from the group consisting of:
A composition according to claim 30 wherein said hydrophobically modified high molecular weight polymer is polyacrylate-33.
