Abstract: A composition for oral preparations, having a complex formed by dispersing or dissolving an unpleasantly tasting basic drug and a functional polymer compound in a substance having a low melting point, 10 to 70% by weight, based on the composition, of sugar alcohol and 0.1 to 7% by weight, based on the composition, of basic oxide. The composition for oral preparation is excellent in masking unpleasantly tasting basic drugs and has excellent performance in biological use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing a flavored pharmaceutical preparation for oral administraiton and more particularly to a process for producing a flavored pharmaceutical preparation for oral administration, characterized by spraying, in a moistened and heated air, a suspension of a drug or drug-containing particles dispersed in a cold water solution of polyvinyl acetal diethylaminoacetate, and drying the resulting fine particles. Therefore, the present invention has made it possible to provide a process for producing, at a high yield, a flavored pharmaceutical preparation for oral administration wherein the taste of a drug contained therein is well masked and whose bioavailability is as good as that of a powder of the drug itself.

Abstract: A method of producing a fine coated pharmaceutical preparation, which includes cooling fine liquid droplets composed of a liquid medium, a drug dissolved or suspended in the liquid medium, and as required, a binder to a temperature of not higher than the freezing point of the liquid medium to form frozen particles of the drug and as required the binder, adjusting the particle sizes of the fine frozen particles, mixing the fine frozen particles with a fine powder of a coating material having a particle diameter smaller than the particles at a temperature higher than the freezing point of the liquid medium to cause the fine powder of the coating material to adhere to the surfaces of the particles, and then removing the liquid medium from the resulting coated particles.

Abstract: Cockroach attractants comprising as an active ingredient an alkylphenol or an alkylphenylamine are provided. The cockroach attractants exhibit strong attracting activity, even when used alone, specifically for male cockroaches, with a good stationing effect. The activity does not go down even when the male and female cockroaches live together.

Abstract: An orally administrable pharmaceutical preparation of improved flavoring characteristics composed of a core material containing a drug and a coated layer applied to its surface, said coated layer being composed of a particulate polymeric substance having an average particle diameter of not more than 60 microns and being soluble in gastric juice; and a process for producing said orally administrable pharmaceutical preparation, which comprises causing minute liquid droplets of a volatile liquid containing a drug and optionally a gastric juice-soluble polymeric substance to fall onto a powder bed composed of a gastric juice-soluble particulate polymeric substance having an average particle diameter of not more than 60 microns to coat the surface of the liquid droplets with the gastric juice-soluble particulate polymeric substance, and drying the coated particles.

Abstract: A method of attracting Periplaneta americana L comprising positioning a composition comprising an attractant-ingestion stimulant in a location wherein it is desired to attract Periplaneta americana L, said stimulant comprising an amount of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of ar-.alpha.-tetralol, ar-.beta.-tetralol, ac-.alpha.-tetralol, .alpha.-naphthol, .beta.-naphthol and iristectorumin's alcohol effective to attract Periplaneta americana L.
