COMPOSITION FOR TREATMENT OF PERNIOSIS

TECHNICAL DOMAIN

The present invention relates to a (dermatological) composition for the treatment of irritated or damaged skin, in particular for the treatment of perniosis.

STATE OF THE ART

Normally, the skin is kept moist by secretion of sebum and sweat from, respectively, sebaceous and sweat glands present in and on the skin. However, some conditions - atopic dermatitis, skin diseases, immunological diseases, hormone imbalance, drug intake, metabolic diseases, radiation exposure, etc. - can lead to dry and / or irritated skin.

The term dry skin, Xeroderma or xerosis refers to an abnormal dryness of a patient's skin and is used as a general term for various Symptoms - for example, itching and roughness of the skin - that are caused by such condition. Irritated skin is mainly characterized by redness, sensitivity to touch and is often scaly.

Usually, in the current state of the art, the dryness or irritation of the skin is prevented by applying a moisturizing composition such as a cream, ointment, lotion, gel, etc. Nevertheless, such composition often only has a temporary effect and it is necessary to apply them regularly which can result in skin allergies and / or side effects. A steroid ointment can - alternatively - have a therapeutic effect, but it can also cause skin atrophy or fungal infections and should therefore be used under strictly limited conditions. The latter still hinders the development of such treatment techniques.

The term perniosis is the general name for winter hands and / or winter toes. Perniosis is a condition that mainly occurs in the winter months and is caused by the action of the cold on defective bloodstream skin. In cold conditions, the circulation of the vital organs in the body is prioritized and the capillaries in the non-vital parts of the body - such as fingertips and toes - are narrowed to minimize the loss of heat. As a result, the extremities of the body - mainly fingertips and toes - get less blood flow and become more sensitive to cold. This causes bluish-red, painful and severely itchy swelling of the fingers and / or

BE2016 / 5508 toes. Although in most cases perniosis is a harmless condition, the patient often experiences severe discomfort.

The treatment of perniosis - in the current state of the art - often relates to improving blood circulation by taking calcium antagonists or taking exchange baths or a foot sauna. The use of calcium channel blockers produces a large amount of unwanted and systemic side effects, while taking baths or a foot sauna is practically very undesirable.

In some cases, perniosis can lead to skin cracks. These are painful tears in the skin because the skin is often too dry in winter. The resulting wounds are very sensitive, painful and difficult to treat.

Damaged skin can be caused by, for example, bumping, falling, burning or chafing the skin and interrupts the barrier function of the skin, which greatly increases the chance of infection and / or inflammation.

To date, there are no effective means for treating the above mentioned skin conditions. A known problem in the prior art is that there are mainly preventive - and not very effective - compositions, and that there are no known compositions that both repair the skin barrier and moisturize the skin to protect them from further drying.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention in a first aspect contains a composition according to claim 1. In particular, the present invention relates to a composition comprising a source of abietic acid or an ester or salt thereof as an active ingredient, for use in treatment of perniosis

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in the description of the invention, including technical and scientific terms, have the meaning generally understood by those skilled in the art of the invention.

One, de and the in this document refer to both the singular and the plural unless the context clearly assumes otherwise. For example, a segment means one or more than a segment.

BE2016 / 5508

The terms include, include, consist of, consist of, include, contain, contain, control, controlling, contents, containing are synonyms and are inclusive or open terms that indicate the presence of what follows, and do not exclude or prevent the presence of other components, features, elements, members, steps, known from or described in the prior art.

Claiming numerical intervals through the endpoints includes all integers, fractions and / or real numbers between the endpoints, including these endpoints.

The present invention relates to a topical composition comprising a source of abietic acid or an ester or salt thereof as an active ingredient and the use of such composition in the treatment of dry and / or irritated skin, perniosis, skin splits and / or damaged skin.

Abietic acid is a diterpene carboxylic acid, which is found, inter alia, in coniferous resin and which is used in the present state of the art in organic syntheses, and - as a component of vegetable resins - in caulking ships, waxing bows of musical instruments, and - after conversion into its glycerol ester - as a base for paints, varnishes and glues. However, the present invention describes a new and inventive use of abietic acid.

In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a topical composition comprising abietic acid or an ester or salt thereof as the active ingredient. The present invention describes the positive effects of abietic acid on the repair and hydration of affected skin.

Topical compositions of the present invention can exist in various embodiments.

The present embodiment concerns a topical composition comprising a source of abietic acid or an ester or salt thereof.

In a preferred embodiment, a topical composition according to the present invention comprises abietic acid of natural origin. Tests by the inventors show that a natural source of abietic acid works better than a synthetic or pure source of abietic acid. This is most likely due to an interaction between the abietic acid and essential oils or other components present in the natural source.

BE2016 / 5508

A topical composition according to the present invention preferably comprises 0.1 to 50 mass% abietic acid, more preferably 0.1 to 25 mass% abietic acid, even more preferably 0.5 to 10 mass% abietic acid, and most preferably 0.5 to 2.5 mass% abietic acid.

In another embodiment, the present invention includes a topical composition which preferably comprises 0.1 to 50 mass% of a source of abietic acid as the active ingredient, more preferably 0.1 to 25 mass% of a source of abietic acid as the active ingredient, even more preferably 0.5 to 10 mass% of a source of abietic acid as an active ingredient and most preferably 0.5 to 2.5 mass% of a source of abietic acid as an active ingredient.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the natural source of abietic acid will be a Picea abies resin. In one embodiment, this source can be turpentine (an oleoresin), preferably obtained from conifers. In another preferred form, said resin can be refined into rosin after mining. In another most preferred embodiment, the composition of the present invention includes Poix de Bourgogne (Kremer Pigmente GmbH & Co. KG) as a source of abietic acid.

In the present invention, the term rosin or rosin refers to a vegetable resin that is recovered from the coniferous resin by heating or distillation. The liquid resin of pine or spruce trees is heated so that volatiles - such as terpenes - evaporate, leaving a transparent yellow to black gelatinous mass. This remainder is called rosin. Although the use of rosin is widespread, the use of rosin in topical compositions is not yet known in the art.

In the present invention, the term Poix de Bourgogne refers to a natural product that is obtained as a refining product from the resin of Picea abies from the Burgundy region located in the eastern part of France. More specifically, Poix de Bourgogne is produced by melting Picea abies resin and then filtering or distilling the resin.

A topical composition according to an embodiment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment comprises one or more pharmaceutically accepted excipients and / or one or more additional active ingredients selected from the non-limiting group of emulsifiers, mineral oils and / or waxes, vitamins, fragrances , dyes, essential oils, essential oils, hydrophilic or lipophilic gelling agents, hydrophilic or lipophilic active ingredients, preservatives,

BE2016 / 5508 antioxidants, vegetable oils, animal oils, solvents, vehicles, buffers, filler, UV protectants, natural extractions, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory agents, film former, deodorants, antihistamines, pigments, oxidizing agents, denaturants, reducing agents, detergents, penetrating agents, opacifying agents, binders, bleaches, chelating agent, skin protectants, keratolytic agents, masking agents, cleanser, foam enhancer, abrasive, sebum repellent, nail conditioner, depilatory, skin bleach, skin care, sugars and derivatives, viscosity regulators, emulsion stabilizer, moisturizers, emollients, emollient, emollient agents, fat moisturizers, moisturizers, skin softener, hydrotrope agent, humectants, plasticizers, analgesics, anti-acne agents, antiperspirants, thickeners, absorbers bentia, stabilizers, biocides, anti-foaming agents and surfactants.

It goes without saying that the above list is not limitative and that all excepts known by a person skilled in the art can be added to a composition according to the present invention.

In a preferred embodiment, the topical composition of the present invention comprises peruvian balm.

In a preferred embodiment, a composition of the present invention comprises between 0.05 and 0.4 mass% peruvian balm, more preferably between 0.15 and 0.35 mass% peruvian balm, and most preferably between 0.2 and 0.3 mass% peruvian balm.

In the present invention, the term peruvian balm refers to a resin recovered from the bark of the Myroxylon pereirae. Due to its various positive effects, it is often used as an additive or component in industrial products and food and / or medical compositions. Peruvian balm has, among other things, analgesic, itch-relieving, antiseptic, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic effects. Nevertheless, the use of peruvian balm in 2005 was not recommended in the European Union due to its high allergenicity and / or eczema-inducing character.

However, a preferred composition form of the present invention neutralizes the aforementioned detrimental characteristics by an apparent synergistic effect between the abietic acid present and the peruvian balm. Thus, in several experiments evaluating the use of compositions of the present invention - see below - no case of allergy or eczema has yet been observed.

BE2016 / 5508

In addition, it was shown that the synergistic effect between (the source of) abietic acid and peruvian balm in a composition according to the present invention is the healing and treatment process in patients with certain skin conditions.

In a preferred embodiment, the composition comprises a mineral, vegetable, animal or silicone oil as a base.

In a more preferred embodiment, the composition comprises a mineral, vegetable, animal or silicone oil with an occlusive effect on the skin as a base.

The addition of an oil with an occlusive effect on the skin as the basis of a composition according to the present invention ensures that the skin - after topical application of the composition - is closed off from the environment by a grease film. This protects the smeared skin surface from moisture and / or air, which considerably reduces the risk of infections. In addition, the occlusive effect of the mineral oil ensures that the active ingredients - present in the composition - are continuously supplied to the smeared skin surface and thus guarantee a long-term absorption of abietic acid.

In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes petrolatum as the basis for the composition. Petrolatum will close the skin very well after application.

In a preferred embodiment, the present invention includes between 80 and 99 mass% petrolatum, and more preferably between 90 and 99 mass% petrolatum.

A composition of the present invention can be formulated as a cream, gel, lotion, ointment, emulsion, suspension, solution, bath additive, film-forming agent, collodion, spray, powder, balm, foam or paste.

Preferably, the composition is formulated as an ointment, cream, gel, lotion, emulsion or paste.

In a preferred embodiment, the composition is produced by melting the source of abietic acid and then mixing it with the other excipients.

In another embodiment, the composition is produced by grinding the source of abietic acid and then mixing it with the remaining excipients.

It goes without saying that the present invention is by no means limited to the above-mentioned embodiments and / or excepients and that excepients are added or

BE2016 / 5508 can be omitted in a composition according to application, conditions, allergies, etc.

In a second aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a composition as described above in the treatment of skin conditions.

In a preferred embodiment, the skin condition selected from the non-limiting list of xerosis, irritated skin, damaged skin, perniosis, skin fissures, acne, eczema, contact allergy, dermatitis, psoriasis, cold sores, chapped and / or dried lips, shingles, skin sores, pimples, blisters, pressure sores, rashes, transepidermal water loss, skin wounds, pressure sores, boils, skin aging, rosacea, stretch marks, etc.

For example, it has been shown that treating the fingers and / or toes of perniosis patients, with a composition according to the present invention, has a positive and accelerating effect on the healing and treatment of perniosis.

More specifically, the present invention induces an acceleration of the healing process of the aforementioned skin conditions by repairing the epidermal skin barrier in a first aspect and in a second aspect by a vasodilatory effect.

Many skin conditions have been characterized by - sometimes invisible damage to the epidermal skin layer, leaving underlying layers unprotected and susceptible to infection. In addition, the epidermal skin membrane plays an important role in the degree of Transepidermal water loss (TEWL). TEWL is the amount of water released from the body - over the epidermal membrane - to the environment by diffusion and / or evaporation. It is evident that interruptions or damage to the respective membrane will increase TEWL and cause dehydration of the skin and body. Here it is postulated that the present invention provides accelerated repair of the epidermal membrane due to the presence of abietic acid. This property of abietic acid was previously unknown and naturally has a desirable effect in the treatment of one or more of the aforementioned skin conditions.

In addition, it has been shown that abietic acid has a vasodilatory effect and thus directly improves blood flow. This function of abietic acid mainly plays a role in the treatment of perniosis. Perniosis is a direct result of narrowing of blood vessels in the hands and feet (~ Raynaud's phenomenon). The vasodilatory effect of abietic acid counteracts this vasoconstriction and thus reduces swelling, redness and itching, and warming of hands and / or

BE2016 / 5508 feet of perniosis patients. Specifically, the present invention thus induces a smoother and more efficient treatment of perniosis. Nevertheless, the vasodilatory effect of abietic acid also has an influence in the accelerated healing of other skin conditions. Blood vessels dilation - as a result of the abietic acid in the present invention - improves circulation, as mentioned before. As a result, the necessary molecules, components and nutrients that play a role in the healing process are supplied faster, more efficiently and possibly more Iokai. It is evident that this results in an accelerated healing and / or repair process.

Another additional advantage of the present invention is the long shelf life due to the high degree of oiliness due to the large amount of lipophilic components in a composition according to the present invention.

In what follows, the invention is described by means of non-limiting examples illustrating the invention, which are not intended or are to be construed to limit the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLES

EXAMPLE 1a: Composition of an ointment for the treatment of perniosis

An ointment has been formulated to treat perniosis. Affected ointment consists of the following ingredients (The INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) names of the ingredients are shown):

Ingredient mass% Petrolatum 97.95 Poix de Bourgogne 1.76 Myroxylon pereirae resin 0.29

After melting petrolatum, the Myroxylon pereirae resin and ground Poix de Bourgogne were added. Cooling the mixture resulted in the final ointment structure.

EXAMPLE 1b: Double-blind experiment

The ointment of Example 1a was subjected to a double-blind experiment to prove its effectiveness.

For this, 10 patients with perniosis - with permission - were split into two groups of 5 patients and subjected to a double-blind experiment. The fingers

BE2016 / 5508 and toes of the first group of perniosis patients were smeared daily with a topical composition according to the present invention, while the second group of patients were smeared daily with a similar composition but without a source of abietic acid (~ Poix de Bourgogne in the ointment according to example la). Patients were questioned daily - for 7 days - about their discomforts - such as pain and itching - due to perniosis and to grade them relatively [1 to 10] from their original status [10]. In addition, skin redness and swelling were parameterized and evaluated by a researcher who had no knowledge of which patient belonged to which group (~ double-blind). The results are shown in tables 1a and 1b below.

EXAMPLE 2b: Efficacy experiment of composition according to Example 2a

A patient who has been suffering from skin splits and cracks in the hand skin as a result of crutch walking for two years has recently been treated with the composition according to example 2a. For this, the patient's hands were rubbed daily with the composition of Example 2a and the severity of the skin fissures was evaluated based on the number, width, length and depth of the skin fissures, and based on the patient's discomfort and pain. experienced.

BE2016 / 5508

Two days after the start of treatment, the patient no longer experienced any discomfort and the skin gaps and skin cracks were fully repaired. The patient's hands were rubbed for a further 12 days with the composition of Example 2a. No skin gaps or cracks in the hand skin were observed in the patient during these 12 days. In addition, the patient stated that he had not experienced any discomfort since the treatment.

Treatment was discontinued two weeks after the initiation while the patient was further monitored on a daily frequency. The patient's hands again showed skin cracks and splits three days after treatment was discontinued.

The affected patient was retreated with the composition of Example 2a and monitored daily. After two days, the cracks and fissures in the skin of the patient's hands had healed.

This experiment shows that the present invention is effective not only in the treatment of skin cracks and fissures, but also an effective one in the prevention of fissures and cracks.
