Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of preventing or controlling colds and similar maladies, such as flu, through the use of an oral composition containing stannous gluconate applied to the gingival or oral mucosal tissue of the subject susceptible to colds.
  • the common cold although not usually a serious illness, is a highly prevalent, discomforting and annoying infliction.
  • the term "common cold” is applied to minor respiratory illnesses caused by a variety of different respiratory viruses. While rhinoviruses are the major known cause of common colds, accounting for approximately 30 percent of colds in adults, viruses in several other groups are also important. While immune responses occur, and infection with some respiratory tract viruses therefore could be prevented by a vaccine, development of a polytypic vaccine to cover all possible agents is impractical. Thus, the problem of controlling acute upper respiratory disease presents complex challenges, and the long-desired discovery of a single cure for the common cold is an unrealistic expectation.
  • compositions for treatment of nasal and other cold, flu, allergy and sinus symptoms and the discomfort, pain, fever and general malaise associated therewith generally contain an analgesic (aspirin or acetaminophen) and one or more antihistamines, decongestants, cough suppressants, antitussives and expectorants.
  • analgesic aspirin or acetaminophen
  • Other specific pharmaceutical actives for nasal symptoms e.g., congestion
  • These actives are generally delivered topically to the nasal mucosa via a nasal spray.
  • oral drugs such as decongestants could pose a risk of unfavorable drug interactions and may cause an adverse reaction. It would, therefore, be highly desirable to deliver relief from specific nasal symptoms via compositions without the need for such pharmaceutical actives.
  • the present invention relates to a method of reducing colds and cold-like symptoms, such as flu, in subjects susceptible to such maladies by applying a composition containing an effective amount of stannous gluconate to the gingival or oral mucosal tissues.
  • compositions of the present invention contain certain essential components as well as non-essential components.
  • Stannous gluconate is an essential component of the present compositions.
  • This material is a known stannous chelate and may be provided to the present compositions as the chelate or as separate soluble stannous and gluconate salts and the chelate formed in-situ.
  • Such salts include stannous chloride and sodium gluconate.
  • Stannous gluconate is present in the present compositions at a level of from about 0.1% to about 11%, preferably from about 0.2% to about 4%.
  • Acceptable Carrier is an essential component of the present compositions.
  • the carrier for the active component(s) can be any vehicle suitable for use in the oral cavity.
  • Such carriers include the usual components of mouthwashes, gargles, toothpastes, tooth powders, prophylaxis pastes, lozenges, gums and the like and are more fully described hereinafter. Dentifrices and mouthwashes are the preferred systems.
  • the present compositions may contain antiplaque/gingivitis agents such as quaternary ammonium compounds, water insoluble agents such as triclosan, teas, as defined herein later, stannous salts and zinc salts.
  • antiplaque/gingivitis agents such as quaternary ammonium compounds, water insoluble agents such as triclosan, teas, as defined herein later, stannous salts and zinc salts.
  • the abrasive polishing material contemplated for use in the present invention can be any material which does not excessively abrade dentin.
  • silicas including gels and precipitates, calcium carbonate, dicalcium orthophosphate dihydrate, calcium pyrophosphate, tricalcium phosphate, calcium polymetaphosphate, insoluble sodium polymetaphosphate, hydrated alumina, and resinous abrasive materials such as particulate condensation products of urea and formaldehyde, and other such as disclosed by Cooley et al. in U.S. Patent 3,070,510, December 25, 1962, incorporated herein by reference. Mixtures of abrasives may also be used.
  • Silica dental abrasives of various types, can provide the unique benefits of exceptional dental cleaning and polishing performance without unduly abrading tooth enamel or dentin.

  • Preferred precipitated silica materials include those marketed by the J. M. Huber Co ⁇ oration under the tradename, "Zeodent", particularly the silica carrying the designation "Zeodent 119". These silica abrasives are described in U.S. Patent No. 4,340,583, July 29, 1982, inco ⁇ orated herein by reference.
  • the abrasive in the compositions described herein is present at a level of from about 6% to about 70%, preferably from about 15% to about 25% when the dentifrice is a toothpaste. Higher levels, as high as 90%, may be used if the composition is a toothpowder.
  • compositions of the present invention may also contain a soluble fluoride ion source such as sodium, potassium, lithium fluorides, stannous fluoride, and sodium monofluorophosphate among many others.
  • a soluble fluoride ion source such as sodium, potassium, lithium fluorides, stannous fluoride, and sodium monofluorophosphate among many others.
  • the fluoride source should be sufficient to provide from about 50 to about 3500 ppm fluoride in a toothpaste or mouthrinse.
  • Flavoring agents can also be added to dentifrice compositions. Suitable flavoring agents include, among many others, oil of wintergreen, oil of peppermint, oil of spearmint, and oil of clove. Sweetening agents which can be used include aspartame, acesulfame, saccharin, dextrose, levulose and sodium cyclamate. Flavoring and sweetening agents are generally used in dentifrices at levels of from about 0.005% to about 2% by weight.
  • Dentifrice compositions can also contain emulsifying agents. Suitable emulsifying agents are those which are reasonably stable and foam throughout a wide pH range, including nonsoap anionic, nonionic, cationic, zwitterionic and amphoteric organic synthetic detergents. Many of these suitable surfactants are disclosed by Gieske et al. in U.S. Patent No. 4,051,234, September 27, 1977, inco ⁇ orated herein in its entirety by reference.
  • Water is also present in the toothpastes of this invention.
  • Water employed in the preparation of commercially suitable toothpastes should preferably be deionized and free of organic impurities.
  • Water generally comprises from about 10% to 50%, preferably from about 20% to 40%, by weight of the toothpaste compositions herein. These amounts of water include the free water which is added plus that which is introduced with other materials such as with sorbitol.
  • thickening agents are carboxyvinyl polymers of the type mentioned previously herein, xanthan gum, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose and water soluble salts of cellulose ethers such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.
  • Natural gums such as gum karaya, gum arabic, and gum tragacanth can also be used.
  • Colloidal magnesium aluminum silicate or finely divided silica can be used as part of the thickening agent to further improve texture.
