Method for pathogens, microorganisms, and parasites inactivation

A method for inactivation or reduction of pathogens or undesired organisms from a sample, comprising:

• (i) treatment of the sample, with a compound having Structure I:
• wherein:
• each R1 is independently selected for each occurrence from H, CH3, CH2CH3, CH(CH3)2, Cl, F, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a phenyl group, an alkyloxy group, an acyloxy group, or substituted alkyl group,
• each R2 is independently selected for each occurrence from H, CH3, CH2CH3, CH(CH3)2, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a phenyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an alkyloxy group, or substituted alkyl, substituted alkenyl, substituted cycloalkyl or substituted phenyl group, or a moiety of Structure II:
• each R3 is independently selected for each occurrence from H, CH3, CH2CH3, CH(CH3)2, Cl, F, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a phenyl group, an alkyloxy group, an acyloxy group, or other substituted alkyl group;
• each n is independently for each occurrence 3, 4, or 5;
• each m is independently for each occurrence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10;
• or a chemically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof;
• (ii) incubation for sufficient time for inactivation or reduction of pathogens or undesired organisms from the sample;
• (iii) treatment of the sample (a) with one or more neutralizing agents which eliminate or reduce the toxicity or other undesirable properties of the compound with Structure I, or (b) with one or more solid phase agents which absorbs, or covalently binds the compounds with Structure I.
