Definitions
- the invention relates to an improvement in the field of hygiene, in particular to a composition comprising a lactam which displays improved solubility of the lactam.
- Hygiene in particular inhibition of bacterial species, is important to consumers.
- Lactams are known as inhibitors of bacterial species. They may be applied to surfaces to inhibit bacterial species.
- the resulting formulation displays improving solubility of the lactam.
- the resulting compositions can provide improved bacterial inhibition to a surface that the lactam composition is applied to.
- the invention relates in a first aspect to a composition
- a composition comprising:-
- a solvent selected from: 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, ethyl levulinate, and ethyl levulinate glycerol ketal (LGK); or mixtures thereof; or mixtures thereof.
- lactam is of formula (I) or (II):
- R1 and R2 are each independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, oxoalkyl, alkenyl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, aryl and aralalkyl;
- R4 and R5 are independently selected from hydrogen, aryl, heterocyclyl, heteroaryl, and arylalkyl;
- Re is selected from hydrogen and methyl
- the lactam of formula (I) or (II), R1, R4 and R5 are H; R3 is H, or (CH2) n N + (CH3)3, where n is an integer from 1 to 16, preferably 2 to 8; and R2 is a phenyl group, or a monosubstituted phenyl group; preferably R2 is selected from phenyl, 4-fluorophenyl, 2- fluorophenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 3-chlorophenyl, 4-bromophenyl and 4-methylphenyl.
- the lactam is a lactam selected from:
- lactam is selected from:
- lactam is: -chlorophenyl)-5-methylene-pyrrol-2-one
- the lactam is delivered from an aqueous based composition, preferably comprising from 0.1 to 99 wt.%, preferably from 0.5 to 98 wt.%, more preferably from 1 to 98 wt.% water.
- the most preferred solvents are: 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, ethyl levulinate, and ethyl levulinate glycerol ketal (LGK).
- the solvent is present at a level of from 0.5 to 95 wt.%, preferably from 0.5 to 90 wt.%, more preferably from 0.5 to 80 wt.%.
- the solvent may be present at a lowest level of from 0.5 wt.%, 0.75 wt.%, 1 wt.%, 1.5 wt.%, 2 wt.%, 2.5 wt.% or even 5 wt.%.
- the solvent may be present at a highest level of from 95 wt.%, 90 wt.%, 85 wt.%, 80 wt.%, 70 wt.%, 60 wt.%, 50 wt.%, 40 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 25 wt.%, 20 wt.% or even 10 wt.%. Any higher level of solvent is meant to be combinable with any lower level of solvent.
- the composition comprises one or more surfactants.
- the surfactant may be present at a level of from 0.25 to 25 wt.%, preferably from 0.25 to 20 wt.%, more preferably from 0.25 to 15 wt.%, even more preferably from 0.25 to 10 wt.%, or even 0.5 to 10 wt.% or even 0.5 to 5 wt.%.
- the surfactant may be present at a level of from 0.25 to 25 wt.%, preferably from 0.25 to 20 wt.%, more preferably from 0.25 to 15 wt.%, even more preferably from 0.25 to 10 wt.%, or even 0.5 to 10 wt.% or even 0.5 to 5 wt.%.
- the surfactant is preferably selected from anionic, nonionic, cationic and/or amphoteric surfactants.
- Preferred surfactants are nonionic surfactants.
- the invention relates in a second aspect to a non-therapeutic method of treatment of a surface, to improve resistance of said surface to bacterial fouling, by treatment with a composition according to the first aspect of the invention.
- the surface to be treated is selected from plastic, metal, wood, polymer, paper, textile, and/or wipes.
- the lactam is selected from:

After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was poured into a mixture of water (500 mL) and ethyl acetate (500 mL). The layers were separated and the aqueous phase extracted with ethyl acetate (500 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a 1 :1 mixture of water and brine (2 x 500 mL), dried (MgSC ) and concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 4-(4- chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (66.00 g, >100% yield) as a brown oil. The material was used in the next step without further purification.
Preparation of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methyl-1 H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one
4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-5-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-2(5H)-one (66.00 g, 293.8 mmol) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (196.8 g, 120.0 mL, 1654 mmol) and heated at 40 °C for 1 hour, then 80 °C for 2 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and azeotroped with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (200 mL). The residue was diluted with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (160 mL) and this solution added to a cooled stirring mixture of 28% ammonia in water (180 mL) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (20 mL) at 0 °C.

The residue was diluted with 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (60 mL) and this solution added to a cooled stirring mixture of 28% ammonia in water (55 mL, 808.0 mol) in 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (10 mL) at 0 °C. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. 2- Methyltetrahydrofuran was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue diluted with water (200 mL) and diethyl ether (100 mL) and the mixture stirred for 20 minutes at room temperature. The solids were collected by filtration and stirred in water (100 mL) and diethyl ether (50 mL) at room temperature for 10 minutes. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with water, diethyl ether and dried under vacuum at 50 °C to yield 5-hydroxy-5- methyl-4-(p-tolyl)-1 H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one (10.49 g, 31% yield) as a light beige solid.

Preparation of 5-methylene-4-(p-tolyl)-1 H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one
To a cooled solution of 5-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-(p-tolyl)-1 H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one (8.68 g, 42.7 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (87 mL) at 0 °C was added a solution of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (6.85 g, 5.96 mL, 55.5 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (40 mL) over 15 minutes. After 1 hour the mixture was allowed to slowly warm to room temperature. After a further 3 hours, the reaction was diluted with dichloromethane (50 mL) and ice-water (100 mL) and stirred for 10 minutes. The layers were separated and the organic layer washed with water (100 mL), a 1 :1 mixture of water and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution (100 mL) and brine (100 mL) and the organic layer filtered through Celite, washing with dichloromethane. Any excess water was removed by pipette before drying the filtrate (MgSC ) and concentrating under reduced pressure to a brown solid. The solids
were stirred in hot dichloromethane (120 mL) for 15 minutes before slowly cooling to room temperature and then 0 °C. The solids were collected by filtration to yield 5-methylene-4-(p- tolyl)- 1 H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one (3.87 g, 49% yield) as a yellow solid. Silica was added to the filtrate and the mixture stirred for 10 minutes before filtering through a plug of silica, washing through with dichloromethane and then a 4:1 mixture of dichloromethane:diethyl ether. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to yield 5-methylene-4-(p-tolyl)-1 H-pyrrol- 2(5H)-one (0.58 g, 7%) as a yellow solid. Total yield of 5-methylene-4-(p-tolyl)-1 H-pyrrol- 2(5H)-one (4.45 g, 56% yield).

Materials Used
In the following examples, the lactam used was lactam 488.
This is 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-methylene-pyrrol-2-one and the structure is shown below:-
Solvents investigated
EtOH - ethanol
MeOH - methanol
DMSO - dimethyl sufoxide
MPG - monopropylene glycol
MeCN - acetonitrile
CPME - cyclopentyl methylether
2MeTHF - 2-methyltetrahydrofuran
Ethyl levulinate
LGK - ethyl levulinate glycerol ketal (LGK)
Example 2
This example shows the effect of the different solvents on the solubility of the lactam.
250-350 mg of lactam 488 (Vasant 99%) was added to 10ml of the tabulated solvents, until visibly saturated and placed on bottle rollers for 72hrs. The resultant saturated solutions were filtered using a 1 pm syringe filter to remove any insoluble material remaining.
For quantification of lactam in solution, 10pl of the stock was added to 4990pl of ethanol to ensure less than 0.1 mg/ml (100 ppm) of lactam 488 in 0.2% chosen solvent and 99.6% ethanol. Lactam concentration in plate was calculated against a calibration of known EtOH/Lactam solutions, and then multiplied by the dilution factor (500) to determine the actual lactam level in saturated solution (Lactam max solubility mg/ml in table 1).
Table 1 - Shows the lactam solubility (mg/ml) in various solvents along with where known various theoretical solubility parameters *denotes comparative solvents
The solvents according to the invention provided good to excellent solubility of the lactam (greater than ~7.5mg/ml). Notably some comparative surfactants performed much worse than expected from their theoretical solubility parameters.
Notably, the level of lactam solubility is markedly different from expected based on theoretical solubility parameters (Hansen or Hildebrand solubility parameters) for the most preferred solvents: 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, ethyl levulinate, and ethyl levulinate glycerol ketal (LGK).
