Description
21 ~S~75 ~ WO 95/24896 r~ r.l 73,'~ / /
USE OF ANrAGoNIsTs OF EGF OR TGF-ALPHA FOR TH8 TREATMENT AND PROPHYLAXIS
OF ACNE
The present invention relates to compositions for topical application to the skin and to their cosmetic and pharmaceutical use. In particular the invention relates to compositions suitable for use in the treatment of acne and cosmetic conditions associated with acne such as spots and pimples.
BACKGROU~dD T0 THE INVENTION
Acne vulgaris is a disease of the human sebaceous unit.
The sebaceous pilosebaceous duct has been implicated in the aetiology of acne, with hyperproliferation, hyperkeratinisation and ;3hnorr~l desquamation of the duct cells leading to open or closed rnm,-~lnnP formation which are the primary symptom of acne.
The isolation and maintenance of the human pilosl~h~r~mlc duct ; n-vitro has previously been described by Guy et al ., British Journal of Dermatology (1993) ~ 242-248. This paper further reported that the known anti-acne treatment, 13-5~ retinoic acid, acts directly at the level of the duct .
The present inventors have significantly i ~ .,v~:d upon the isolated human sebaceous duct model reported previously.
By m~int~ining the sebaceous duct in "keratinocyte serum-free medium" supplied commercially, supplemented with bovine pituitary extract and a high concentration of calcium chloride (ca 2mM), in place of supplemented William' s E medium as previously reported, retention of duct architecture over a period of seven days with no fall in the rate of cell division is obtained. Furthermore, the rates of cell division in ducts ~int~inl~r9 in keratinocyte ~ 1 ~567~
Wo9~/2~896 l~l/~,' c ~ O
medium have been found to be significantly higher than in.
ducts m~int~;nF~d in William's E medium after twenty four hours and seven days.
The present inventors have further surprisingly found that the addition of epidermal growth factor (hereinafter EGF) or transforming growth factor ~ (hereinafter TGF-~Y) to the keratinocyte mAlnt~n;ln~e medium causes disruption of the duct architecture but without an accompanying decrease in the rate of cell division or protein synthesis. This closely mimics the rupturing of the duct observed in acne vulgaris leading to infl tQry skin reactions.
Treatments directed to antagonising EGF function~ are therefore useful in reducing or limiting this tissue disruption and consequent inflammatory reactions which are the main symptoms of acne.
D~lNlllON OF T~ lNV~:NllON
The invention provides a topical composition comprising one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-o! or EGF receptor function;
and, optionally a cosmetically or physiologically acceptable vehicle.
In a second aspect, the invention provides a method of treating acne comprising applying to the skin a composition comprising one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-cY or EGF
receptor function and optionally a cosmetically or physiologically acceptable vehicle.
The inve~tion further provides the use of one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-cY or EGF receptor~function in the treatment of acne.
In an alternative aspect the invention provides the use of one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-~ or EGF receptor wO9sl248s6 21 85675 r~
function for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of acne.
.
In a related aspect, the invention provides a method for screening or testing candidate substances to identify substances suitable for treating acne comprising contacting the test substance with an isolated human sebaceous duct ~;nti:l;n~ in keratinocyte serum-free medium (or a medium having a similar beneficial effect on duct maintenance) in the presence of EGF or TGF-~ and assessing the response of the duct to the test substance. Substances which antagonise EGF, TGF-~ or EGF receptor function and are therefore of use in the treatment of acne will reduce or prevent ductal rupture.
~ISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
As used herein, the term "antagonist of EGF function" means any agent which is capable of interfering with the stimulatory effect of EGF or TGF on cell growth. In particular, it means any agent which has the effect of reducing or eliminating any changes in the properties of the isolated human pilosebaceous duct preparation as herein described caused by administration of EGF alone.
Ant;~ ni ~ts of EGF function include agents that interfere with the activity of EGF, TGF-~ and the function of, or pathways stimulated by, the EGF receptor.
One suitable class of compounds which antagonise EGF
function and may be used according to the present invention are the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors of formula (I), commonly known as tyrphostins.

Compounds of formula (I) are known from European Patent Application EP-A-0403238. They are described as suitable for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth.
An alternative possibility is to use an antibody to EGF or TGF-~Y or the EGF receptor to antagonise their function.
Such an antibody, which may be monoclonal or polyclonal or an antibody L LO' t, may be generated by techniques convPnt;nn~1 in the art, for example by using rPc ;n~nt DNA techniques. Specific binding subunits or antibody fragments may also be used. These may similarly be generated by conVPnt;nn~l techniques such as enzymic digestion of intact antibody molecules, for example using papain or pepsin, or using rec ' ;n~nt DNA techniques.
Antibody fragments may also be generated by convPnt;nn~l molecular biology techniques.
Conveniently, the compositions according to the invention comprises one or more antagonists of EGF function in an amount of from 0 . 000001 to 1096 by weight of the composition, preferably from 0 . 00001 to 1096 by weight of the composition.

Preferably the vehicle i8 cosmetically and/or physiologically acceptable. The vehicle must be acceptable in the sense of being rl ~ ~lhle with the other ingredients of the formulation and not ~1P1 et~r; 911R to the recipient thereof .
Vehicles can include water or substances such as liquid or solid emollients, solvents, humectants, thickeners and powders .
Examples of each of these types of vehicle, which can be used singly or as mixtures of o~e or more vehicles, are as f ollows:
Emollients, such as stearyl alcohol, glyceryl mo~oricinoleate, glyceryl monostearate, mink oil, cetyl alcohol, isopropyl isostearate, stearic acid, isobutyl palmitate, isocetyl stearate, oleyl alcohol, isopropyl laurate, hexyl laurate, decyl oleate, octadecan-2-ol, isocetyl alcohol, eicosanyl alcohol, behenyl alcohol, cetyl palmitate, silicone oils such as dimethylpolysiloxane, di-n-butyl sebacate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl stearate, butyl stearate, polyethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, lanolinL cocoa butter, corn oil, cotton seed oil, tallow, lard, olive oil, palm kernel oil, rapeseed oil, safflower seed oil, evening primrose oil, soybean oil, sunflower seed oil, avocado oil, olive oil, sesame seed oil, coconut oil, arachis oil, castor oil, acetylated lanolin alcohols, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, butyl myristate, isostearic ~ acid, palmitatic . acid, isopropyl linoleate, lauryl lactate, myristyl lactate, decyl oleate, myristyl myristate;
Propellants, such as air, propane, butane, isobutane, dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide;
2~8~75 0 95~24896 Solvents such as ethyl alcohol, methylene chloride, isopropanol, acetone, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethyl formamide, tetrahydrofuran;

of ~GF function used. I~ general, topical application of from O.lmg to lOmg daily of a selected antagonist is proposed.
I~ use, a small quantity of the composition, for example from lml is applied to areas of the skin from a suitable ~nt~;nl~r or applicator and, if nf~s-~oRR~ry, it is then spread over and/or rubbed into the skin using the hand or f ingers or a suitable device .
The topical skin treatment composition of the in~re~tio~l may convenie~tly be f~ 1 ~te(~ as a lotion having a viscosity of frorn 4, 000 to 10, 000 mPas, a fluid cream having a viscosity of from 10, 000 to 20, 000 mPas or a cream having a viscosity of from 20, 000 to 100, 000 mPas, or above. The composition can be packaged in a suitable ~-nnt~;n~r to suit its viscosity and intGn~ocl use by the consumer. For example, a lotion or fluid cream can be r~nkA~e~l in a bottle o~ a roll-ball applicator or a propellant-driven aerosol device or a ~nnt~;n~r fitted with a pump suitable for finger operation. When the composition is a cream, it can simply be stored iL a non-deformable bottle or squeeze container, such as a tube or a lidded jar.
The invention ~rt-nr~ gl y also provides a closed ~-nnt~; n,~r cnnt;~;n;n~ a cosmetically acceptable composition as herein def ined In order that the invention may be well understood the 3~ following e~mplea Are glven by w~y of illustr~tion ol~ly.

Isolation of Sehzt~ -.r.tæ
~ lln~lAnt human female facial skin was obtained from cosmetic suryical procedures. Thereafter, layers of skin were removed by means of a keratome . Initially 0 . lmm of the skin surface was taken, to remove the epidermal layer A second layer of 0.2mm of dermis was then taken and placed in phosphate-buffered saline. This layer contains the pilosebaceous ducts. The ducts were easily identified using a dissecting microscope, as they are much larger than the ducts of the vellus follicle, and lack the prominent hair of the terminal follicle. In addition, the ducts were seen to contain large quantities of sebum which appeared dark on transillumination. The ducts were removed by gentle microdissection.

tyrphostin 1 ~4-methoxybenzylidene) alononitrite at 1000~M
as a negative for tyrphostin toxicity, and tyrphostin 46 (3, 4, dihydroxy-~Y-cyanorl nn~ ml de) at l00~LM
or tyrphostin 47(3,4, dihydroxy-a-cyanoth;or;nnAmAm;de) 24~LM
as antagonists of EGF function.

~1Qrpholor~y of Ducts and Behaviour in rlll tllr~e Ducts ~;ntA;nf~9 in vitro in the absence of EGF or TGF-o mAlntA;nl~d normal morphology for at least 7 days. The duct shows an organised stratif ied keratinised squamous epithelium similar to that seen in tissue sections ~oth on isolation and at the end of the culture period. (For an example of normal duct morphology see Figure 3 of Guy et al. British Journal of ~Dermatol. 1993 128, 242-248).
However on the addition of either EGF or TGF-o! (typically at 5ng/ml) to the culture medium, the normal duct morphology was lost within 4 days. The duct ruptured in a process resembling that which occurs in acne when the pilos-hAr~m1c duct ruptures. (See Figure 4 of Guy et al for an example of a ruptured duct. ) Addition of an antagonist of EGF function (tyrE~hostin 46 or tyrphostin 47) prevented the rupture of the duct in the presence of EGF.
Addition of the negative control (tyrphostin 1) did not prevent duct rupture and had no ef f ect on cell toxicity .
Furthermore addition of a ~eutralising antibody to EGF
~ woss~4ss6 2 t ~ 5 6 7 ~ r~". ~
(e.g. at 50 micrograms/ml) in the presence of EGF also prevented the rupture of the duct. These data show that antagonists of EGF function, ; nf~ ; ng antagonists that can inhibit receptor function or antagonists that can prevent ligand function, can prevent duct rupture in vitro in response to EGF.
The maintenance of the duct over 7 days described here is vastly superior to that reported by Guy et al (as above) using the different medium Williams E.

By m~int~ining the sebaceous duct in "keratinocyte serum-free medium" supplied commercially, supplemented with bovine pituitary extract and a high concentration of calcium chloride (ca 2mM), in place of supplemented William' s E medium as previously reported, retention of duct architecture over a period of seven days with no fall in the rate of cell division is obtained. Furthermore, the rates of cell division in ducts ~int~inl~r9 in keratinocyte ~ 1 ~567~

medium have been found to be significantly higher than in.
ducts m~int~;nF~d in William's E medium after twenty four hours and seven days.
The present inventors have further surprisingly found that the addition of epidermal growth factor (hereinafter EGF) or transforming growth factor ~ (hereinafter TGF-~Y) to the keratinocyte mAlnt~n;ln~e medium causes disruption of the duct architecture but without an accompanying decrease in the rate of cell division or protein synthesis. This closely mimics the rupturing of the duct observed in acne vulgaris leading to infl tQry skin reactions.
Treatments directed to antagonising EGF function~ are therefore useful in reducing or limiting this tissue disruption and consequent inflammatory reactions which are the main symptoms of acne.
D~lNlllON OF T~ lNV~:NllON
The invention provides a topical composition comprising one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-o! or EGF receptor function;
and, optionally a cosmetically or physiologically acceptable vehicle.
In a second aspect, the invention provides a method of treating acne comprising applying to the skin a composition comprising one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-cY or EGF
receptor function and optionally a cosmetically or physiologically acceptable vehicle.
The inve~tion further provides the use of one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-cY or EGF receptor~function in the treatment of acne.
In an alternative aspect the invention provides the use of one or more antagonists of EGF, TGF-~ or EGF receptor wO9sl248s6 21 85675 r~
function for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of acne.
.
In a related aspect, the invention provides a method for screening or testing candidate substances to identify substances suitable for treating acne comprising contacting the test substance with an isolated human sebaceous duct ~;nti:l;n~ in keratinocyte serum-free medium (or a medium having a similar beneficial effect on duct maintenance) in the presence of EGF or TGF-~ and assessing the response of the duct to the test substance. Substances which antagonise EGF, TGF-~ or EGF receptor function and are therefore of use in the treatment of acne will reduce or prevent ductal rupture.
~ISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
As used herein, the term "antagonist of EGF function" means any agent which is capable of interfering with the stimulatory effect of EGF or TGF on cell growth. In particular, it means any agent which has the effect of reducing or eliminating any changes in the properties of the isolated human pilosebaceous duct preparation as herein described caused by administration of EGF alone.
Ant;~ ni ~ts of EGF function include agents that interfere with the activity of EGF, TGF-~ and the function of, or pathways stimulated by, the EGF receptor.
One suitable class of compounds which antagonise EGF
function and may be used according to the present invention are the protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors of formula (I), commonly known as tyrphostins.

Compounds of formula (I) are known from European Patent Application EP-A-0403238. They are described as suitable for inducing, maintaining or increasing hair growth.
An alternative possibility is to use an antibody to EGF or TGF-~Y or the EGF receptor to antagonise their function.
Such an antibody, which may be monoclonal or polyclonal or an antibody L LO' t, may be generated by techniques convPnt;nn~1 in the art, for example by using rPc ;n~nt DNA techniques. Specific binding subunits or antibody fragments may also be used. These may similarly be generated by conVPnt;nn~l techniques such as enzymic digestion of intact antibody molecules, for example using papain or pepsin, or using rec ' ;n~nt DNA techniques.
Antibody fragments may also be generated by convPnt;nn~l molecular biology techniques.

Isolation of Sehzt~ -.r.tæ
~ lln~lAnt human female facial skin was obtained from cosmetic suryical procedures. Thereafter, layers of skin were removed by means of a keratome . Initially 0 . lmm of the skin surface was taken, to remove the epidermal layer A second layer of 0.2mm of dermis was then taken and placed in phosphate-buffered saline. This layer contains the pilosebaceous ducts. The ducts were easily identified using a dissecting microscope, as they are much larger than the ducts of the vellus follicle, and lack the prominent hair of the terminal follicle. In addition, the ducts were seen to contain large quantities of sebum which appeared dark on transillumination. The ducts were removed by gentle microdissection.

tyrphostin 1 ~4-methoxybenzylidene) alononitrite at 1000~M
as a negative for tyrphostin toxicity, and tyrphostin 46 (3, 4, dihydroxy-~Y-cyanorl nn~ ml de) at l00~LM
or tyrphostin 47(3,4, dihydroxy-a-cyanoth;or;nnAmAm;de) 24~LM

~1Qrpholor~y of Ducts and Behaviour in rlll tllr~e Ducts ~;ntA;nf~9 in vitro in the absence of EGF or TGF-o mAlntA;nl~d normal morphology for at least 7 days. The duct shows an organised stratif ied keratinised squamous epithelium similar to that seen in tissue sections ~oth on isolation and at the end of the culture period. (For an example of normal duct morphology see Figure 3 of Guy et al. British Journal of ~Dermatol. 1993 128, 242-248).
However on the addition of either EGF or TGF-o! (typically at 5ng/ml) to the culture medium, the normal duct morphology was lost within 4 days. The duct ruptured in a process resembling that which occurs in acne when the pilos-hAr~m1c duct ruptures. (See Figure 4 of Guy et al for an example of a ruptured duct. ) Addition of an antagonist of EGF function (tyrE~hostin 46 or tyrphostin 47) prevented the rupture of the duct in the presence of EGF.
Addition of the negative control (tyrphostin 1) did not prevent duct rupture and had no ef f ect on cell toxicity .
Furthermore addition of a ~eutralising antibody to EGF
~ woss~4ss6 2 t ~ 5 6 7 ~ r~". ~
(e.g. at 50 micrograms/ml) in the presence of EGF also prevented the rupture of the duct. These data show that antagonists of EGF function, ; nf~ ; ng antagonists that can inhibit receptor function or antagonists that can prevent ligand function, can prevent duct rupture in vitro in response to EGF.
The maintenance of the duct over 7 days described here is vastly superior to that reported by Guy et al (as above) using the different medium Williams E.
