Summary for Patent: 6,884,797
Title: Targeted oxidative therapeutic formulation
Abstract:Pharmaceutical formulation, its method of preparation, and its use. The pharmaceutical formulation contains peroxidic species or reaction products resulting from oxidation of an alkene, such as geraniol, by an oxygen-containing oxidizing agent, such as ozone; a penetrating solvent, such as dimethyl sulfoxide; a dye containing a chelated metal, such as hematoporphyrin; and an aromatic redox compound, such as benzoquinone. The pharmaceutical formulation is used to treat horses infected with Sarcocystis protozoal infections.
