Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a delivery system for topically applied therapeutic or cosmetic ingredients, based on encapsulation of the active ingredients in sol-gel microcapsules.
  • the microcapsules of the present invention serve to protect ingredients that decompose when in contact with oxygen, water or with other ingredients of the topical formulation, by acting as a protecting barrier, thus enhancing the stability of these sensitive ingredients in the formulation.
  • the microcapsules are additionally useful to limit contact of skin-irritant active ingredients.
  • the capsules are also capable of releasing the encapsulated ingredients once applied through a pre-designed release mechanism, thus acting as a delivery system.
  • the present invention further relates to a process for production of said microcapsules.
  • a delivery system for sustained release can contribute to decreasing such irritation by reducing the concentration of active ingredients, that are in contact with the skin or hair, at any given moment. Sustained release can extend the duration of activity of the ingredient.
  • a delivery system that is capable of holding and protecting the sensitive active ingredient in the formulation, and of delivering the active ingredient upon application is advantageous.
  • An effective delivery system should stabilize the sensitive active ingredient against undesired decomposition, thus extending the shelf life of the composition.
  • the encapsulation may also serve to separate and segregate incompatible agents present in the same composition.
  • the activity of the ingredients can be prolonged as a result of the sustained release, while skin irritation can be reduced, since there is a significant reduction in the concentration of active ingredient in direct contact with the skin, at any given moment.
  • Perfumes are an example of an ingredient that is frequently added to the composition. Perfumes, while having no therapeutic action, often cause skin irritation. Entrapment of perfumes may serve to decrease skin sensitivity to perfumes, while extending their period of effectiveness through the mechanism of sustained release. Colors and dyes can also benefit from entrapment, since they are often incompatible with other formulation ingredients.
  • U.S Patent No. 6,103,267 and U.S Patent No. 6,146,664 show that sensitive active ingredients, such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C, can be stabilized as dispersions in a non-solvent, and still be active when applied on the skin.
  • sensitive active ingredients such as Vitamin A and Vitamin C
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,077,522 for stabilizing biologically active compounds for various uses.
  • sol-gel matrices Another media for controlled delivery of drugs, which can be utilized to protect sensitive ingredients, is doping within sol-gel matrices.
  • monoliths, particles or other forms (such as thin layers, or fibers) are made, and the active ingredient is immobilized in the pores of the sol-gel matrix.
  • the sol-gel matrix is doped with small amounts of the active ingredient.
  • Sol-gel doped matrices cannot support high loading (of up to 95% wt.) of the active ingredient. In order to obtain high loading, it is essential to form a core-shell structure, where most of the weight of the capsule is the weight of the encapsulated active ingredient, and where the thin shell protects the core effectively.
  • U.S. Patent Application No. 09/372,176 discloses a method for the preparation of silica microcapsules containing organic compounds for various uses. This method was utilized in the development of encapsulated sunscreen active ingredients, disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 09/318,828; where active ingredients are highly retained within the silica capsules, minimalizing exposure of the skin to the active ingredient.
  • Sol-gel microcapsules of silica when formed as in U.S. Patent Application 09/372,176, are chemically and photochemically stable, inert and safe for use. When incorporated in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions they affords a transparent, cosmetically pleasing product.
  • the hydrophobic/hydrophilic character of the capsules is tailored to suit the purpose, by selecting appropriate sol-gel precursors and reaction conditions. Selection of the makeup of the microcapsule precursors, determines the character of the microcapsular shell surrounding the active ingredient. Thus, for instance, hydophobicity/hydrophilicity can be controlled, so that water-soluble actives and oil-soluble actives can both be present in the same formulation, by encapsulation of one or the other. It is possible to encapsulate hydrophobic materials, that would have required the presence of large quantities of oils in the formulation, in silica, which has a hydrophilic external surface, allowing easy incorporation into aqueous phases.
  • water based products or emulsions with external water phase are considered to afford improved feel on the skin, and are therefore preferred in many cases over oil-based products (ointments) or water in oil emulsions. For that reason it is desirable to have a delivery system that is water dispersible, to allow easy incorporation in the water phase.
  • sol-gel microcapsules can be used for the pu ⁇ ose of topical delivery of sensitive active ingredients.
  • U.S. Patent Applications 09/318,828, 09/372,176 disclose microcapsule formulations that prevent an encapsulated active ingredient from leaving the microcapsule. This is desirable when the active ingredient is either unstable when in contact with other ingredients in the formulation or with the environment, or when the active ingredient is an irritant to the body tissue to which it is applied.
  • sol-gel microcapsules can be designed to achieve triggered release of their content upon application in a sustained or an immediate manner.
  • the capsules formed in a sol-gel process in the present invention protect a sensitive ingredient prior to topical administration, increasing its stability and extending its shelf life.
  • the sol-gel capsules allows stabilization of the active ingredient within a cosmetic formulation for a prolonged period of time, by creating a micro-domain or a protective layer around the sensitive ingredient.
  • the microcapsules break and release their contents, thus, they function as a delivery system. While conventional microcapsules are prepared by coating the core material with organic polymers, in the present invention the core material is coated with inorganic polymers.
  • microcapsule wall This imparts unique properties to the microcapsule wall, such as rigidity, and sensitivity to friction, which result in breakage of the capsules and release of their contents, during or after application to the skin.
  • inorganic polymers for the microcapsular wall further grants the ability to control the pore size of the microcapsular shell, and eliminates sensitivity of the shell to both organic solvents in the formulation, and to components of the skin.
  • active ingredient refers to an ingredient having a therapeutical or cosmetic activity.
  • topical application refers to an application on the skin, hair, ears, mucous membranes, rectal application, nasal application, as well as dental application within the oral cavity.
  • adjuvant refers to a material used in conjunction with the active ingredient to preserve the stability of the active ingredient within the composition.
  • BHT butylated hydroxy toluene
  • BHA refers to butylated hydroxy anisole
  • vitamin refers to any acceptable vitamin, a derivative thereof and a salt thereof.
  • the term "dental agent” refers to a tooth whitener, a cleanser, a flavor for a toothpaste or mouthwash, a vitamin or other substance having a therapeutic effect on the teeth or oral cavity.
