Abstract:
This invention is related to the use of a volatile antimicrobial compound against pathogens affecting humans comprising contacting infected areas with an atmosphere containing an effective amount of a volatile antimicrobial compound in gaseous form. The volatile antimicrobial compounds provided include certain oxaborole compounds, for example benzoxaboroles. Delivery systems are provided to take advantage of the volatile nature of these antimicrobial compounds. The method and use disclosed can be combined with other volatile compounds.

Claim (Index 2):
A method of using a volatile antimicrobial compound against pathogens affecting one or more seeds, the method comprising:\n providing a volatile antimicrobial compound of formula (IV), or a salt thereof: wherein A and D together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached form a 5-, 6-, or 7-membered fused ring which may be substituted by C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy, hydroxy, halogen, nitro, nitrile, amino, amino substituted by one or more C 1 -C 6 -alkyl groups, carboxy, acyl, aryloxy, carbonamido, carbonamido substituted by C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, sulfonamido or trifluoromethyl or the fused ring may link two oxaborole rings; X is a group \u2014CR 7 R 8  wherein R 7  and R 8  are each independently hydrogen, C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, nitrile, nitro, aryl, arylalkyl or R 7  and R 8  together with the carbon atom to which they are attached form an alicyclic ring; and R 6  is hydrogen, C 1 -C 18 -alkyl, C 1 -C 18 -alkyl substituted by C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy, C 1 -C 6 -alkylthio, hydroxy, amino, amino substituted by C 1 -C 18 -alkyl, carboxy, aryl, aryloxy, carbonamido, carbonamido substituted by C 1 -C 6 -alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl, arylalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, C 1 -C 18 -alkyleneamino, C 1 -C 18 -alkyleneamino substituted by phenyl, C 1 -C 6 -alkoxy or C 1 -C 6 -alkylthio, carbonyl alkyleneamino or a radical of formula (V): wherein A, D and X are as defined herein before except for boronophthalide; and contacting the one or more seeds with the volatile antimicrobial compound.
