Description

Alcoholic disinfectant with good skincare effect and high efficacy
The present invention relates to an alcoholic disinfectant, and to the use of the disinfectant for the disinfection of surfaces, in particular for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of fatty alcohol for improving the antimicrobial efficacy of an alcoholic disinfectant.
When using alcoholic hand disinfectants, the refatting of the skin plays a major role for user compliance. Glycerol is described in the literature as having skincare properties (Atrux-Tallau, N., Romagny, C, Padois, K., Denis, A., Haftek, M., Falson, F., Pirot, F., and Maibach, H.I. (2010), Arch Dermatol Res 302:435 - 441 ). Glycerol is therefore a widely used substance as refatting agent in commercial formulations for alcoholic hand disinfection.
WO 2014/032696 A1 discloses virucidal alcoholic hand disinfectants. Besides C2- to C3-alcohol, the presence of glycerol is mandatory. However, investigations with glycerol-containing formulations (WHO-I and WHO-II) have shown that the presence of glycerol inhibits the bactericidal properties of alcoholic hand disinfectants for surgical hand disinfection according to EN12791 (Suchomel, M., Rotter, M., Weinlich, M., Kundi, M. (2013). J. Hosp Infect 83:284- 7).
DE 10 2014 1 15 080 A1 describes ethanolic disinfectants which comprise a) at least 78% by weight of ethanol and b) one or more fatty acid esters of monovalent d- to C6-alkyl alcohol. The addition of the fatty acid ester as refatting agent leads to an improvement in the efficacy in the quantitative suspension test according to DGHM.
WO 2009/088894 A1 discloses compositions which comprise at least 35% by weight of C2- to C5-alcohol, hydrophobic polymer soluble in the alcohol, cationic antimicrobial agent and skincare ester. It is also described that fatty alcohols increase the bactericidal efficacy of the cationic antimicrobial agents.
DE 10 2010 054 155 A1 discloses the use of aliphatic alcohols in the production of a low-spore or spore-free disinfectant for preventing contamination of the disinfectant with spores.
WO 2014/100 851 A1 describes alcoholic compositions with a content of at least 0.2% by weight of isopropyl myristate. US 2003/0139307 A1 discloses anhydrous skin cleaning compositions with a content of alcohol and silicone- based materials.
US 2012/0208894 A1 describes ethanolic antiseptics with a content of cyclomethicones or isohexadecane as skincare components. DE 10 2005 002 645 A1 describes alcoholic compositions with a content of glycerol ether and bispyridinium alkane.
DE 10 2013 213 252 A1 discloses an isopropanol-containing liquid composition for use in a method for controlling caliciviruses. The presence of fatty alcohol as refatting agent improves the efficacy against caliciviruses. Furthermore, a disinfectant with a content of 75% by weight of isopropanol and efficacy in hygienic hand disinfection (EN1500) and surgical hand disinfection (EN12791 ) is known which comprises a combination of dexpanthenol and 1 -(2-ethylhexyl) glycerol ether as skin protection and skincare.
EP 2 135 507 A1 discloses ethanolic disinfectants with a content of a compound which releases zinc ions in solution. EP 1 685 854 A1 discloses virucidal disinfectants with a content of acidic phosphorous compounds.
The present invention is based on the object of providing refatting agents for disinfectants with a content of isopropanol and ethanol, where the refatting agents in the disinfectant should have, in contrast to glycerol, no effect inhibiting the antimicrobial efficacy, and indeed in particular if they are to be used in a relatively high concentration.
There is, in particular, a need for disinfectants for hygienic and surgical hand disinfection which despite having a high content of C2- to C3-alcohols and accordingly being very highly antimicrobially (in particular bactericidally) effective, at the same time have the least possible defatting effect. In this connection, these agents should comprise the fewest possible mandatory constituents. The disinfectants should thus not comprise many different mandatory antimicrobial active ingredients. Similarly, the agents should not automatically comprise many different active ingredients for improving the skincare properties (or these skincare active ingredients in a large amount).
It has now been found that this object is achieved according to the invention through the use of fatty alcohols. According to the present invention, it has thus been found that the addition of fatty alcohols as refatting agents to a disinfectant with a content of isopropanol and ethanol even leads to an improvement in the efficacy towards bacteria both in the quantitative suspension experiment according to EN 13727 as well as in the germ carrier experiment simulating practical conditions in accordance with EN 12791 , where, surprisingly, it does not depend on the presence of glycerol or glycerol ethers (such as 1 -(2- ethylhexyl) glycerol ethers). Surprisingly, it has been possible to show that the use according to the invention of fatty alcohols, in combination with the effective constituents isopropanol and ethanol, leads to a significant increase in efficacy. This is surprising in particular against the background that the fatty alcohols without 1 -(2- ethylhexyl) glycerol ethers lead to a considerably improved efficacy of the formulation against bacterial pathogens, which differ considerably from viral pathogens in their cellular structure. In this connection, favourable effects have been shown both against GRAM-negative bacteria (£. coli) as well as against G RAM-positive pathogens on the skin (see the experiments relating to surgical hand disinfection).

Tab. 3-F. Sign ranking test for paired samples
(Surgical hand disinfection according to prEN 12791 :2013)
The median is between the 12th and 13th value [-0.06 + (-0.20)]/2 = -0.13. The small exponents indicate the rankings. The average pairwise differences, which do not exceed the median value (here: -0.13), are calculated. Table 3F of the critical values for sign ranking tests for paired samples according to Wilcoxon reveals, in the case of an input value of N=24 and a one-tailed significance level of 0.025, a critical value of 81 . Consequently, c = 81 +1 = 82. The pairwise differences are sorted in descending order. The 82nd value is 0.65. Consequently, the one-tailed upper 97.5% confidence limit for the difference of the Ig RF between RP and TP is 0.65, which is lower than the agreed limit for inferiority of 0.75. Consequently, the hypothesis of the inferiority of the immediate effect of TP is discarded and the conclusion can be drawn that the preparation to be tested (TP) is not inferior to the reference product (RP).
SUMMARY OF THE RESULTS AND DISCUSSION a) EN 13727
Surprisingly, it has been possible to show that the use according to the invention of fatty alcohols in combination with the alcohol constituents (isopropanol and ethanol) leads to a marked increase in efficacy (see Tab. 4, quantitative suspension experiment according to EN 13727, test organism Escherichia coii under clean conditions). Tab. 4. Quantitative suspension experiment according to EN 13727, E. coli, clean conditions: comparison of the influence of different refatting agent systems on the microbiological efficacy
Comparison
It was surprising that the formulation III according to the invention, which does not comprise 1 -(2-ethylhexyl) glycerol ether, has a similarly good microbiological efficacy to a comparable standard commercial formulation II with a content of 1 -(2- ethylhexyl) glycerol ether. b) EN12791
The formulation III led in the experiments under conditions simulating those in practice of a surgical hand disinfection with an application time of 60 seconds to the following results (cf. Tables 3A1 -3B2):
Tab. 5. Summary of the results of Tables 3A1 -3B2
The difference between the average log-io reduction factors (RF) of the two methods was tested by means of the Hodges & Lehmann test (Tables 3D-3F). The one-tailed upper 97.5% confidence limit for the difference in log-io RF between the reference and the test product is 0.65 for the immediate effect, which is lower than the agreed limit for inferiority of 0.75. Formulation III therefore proved itself to be not inferior in its immediate effect compared to the reference. Consequently, the efficacy of formulation III during subsequent use for surgical hand disinfection confirms: 2 x 5 ml / 60 seconds.
The microbiological efficacy is thus considerably superior in the case of the use according to the invention of fatty alcohols, compared to formulation I that is commercially customary for surgical hand disinfection (EN 12791 , methodology according to the particular valid version, see Tab. 6).
Tab. 6: Comparison of the efficacy in surgical hand disinfection (efficacy according to EN 12791 , respective valid version)
*comparison
Thus, in the case of the use according to the invention of fatty alcohols (in formulation III), an efficacy of 60 seconds in surgical hand disinfection was demonstrated, whereas formulation I, a standard commercial preparation, was effective only in 180 seconds.
