Description

COMPOSITIONS DETERGENTS OF LAUNDRY AND / OR OF CARE OF THE FABRIC COMPRISING CHEMICAL COMPONENTS LINKED TO A CELLULOSE UNION DOMAIN FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved chemical entity comprising a chemical component linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a cellulose binding domain (CBD) having a binding constant (Kr) for crystalline cellulose (Kr-c) of at least 10 l of cellulose, and / or a binding constant for Avicel (Kr-av) 'or amorphous cellulose (Kr-am) of at least 1.5 l / g of cellulose; and to its incorporation into a laundry detergent and / or te? a care detergent composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Modern detergent laundry and / or fabric care compositions contain various detergent ingredients that have one or more purposes in obtaining fabrics that are not only clean, fresh and disinfected, but also retain their appearance and integrity. Therefore, detergent components, such as perfumes, soil removal agents, fabric brighteners, fabric softeners, chelators, bleaching agents and bleach catalysts have been incorporated into laundry and / or fabric care detergent compositions. , dye fixatives and enzymes. When using said detergent components, it is important that some of these compounds are deposited on the fabrics to be effective during or after the washing and / or fabric care operation. An example is the use of cellulase enzymes for the treatment of fabrics consisting mainly of cellulose. The cellulose structures are depolymerized or cut into smaller fractions and therefore more soluble or dispersible. This activity, in particular on the fabrics, provides cleaning, restoration, smoothing and generally improved tactile sensation characteristics. However, it has been difficult to effectively incorporate the cellulase enzymes in modern detergents. In this regard, those skilled in the art have sought to use minimal amounts of cellulase for its most complete effectiveness, ensuring that most, if not all, of the cellulase enzyme comprised in the detergent composition is deposited on the fabric. For example, optimal cellulases would generally have a binding domain especially suitable for celluloses. In this way, they ensure that most of the cellulase enzyme included in the detergent composition will be deposited or otherwise bound to the fabric during the wash cycle to obtain the desired results. Consequently, there remains a need to formulate detergent and / or fabric care compositions in which the chemical components have a stronger and increased deposition on the fabrics, which would result in an improved action during the typical washing / care cycles of the cloth. There is also a need to ensure that the chemical components remain more effectively and prolonged on the fabric or fiber during the additional rinsing steps and during use. There also remains a need for such components to be formulated in a more cost-effective manner. The above objects have been achieved by formulating laundry detergent and / or fabric care compositions comprising an improved chemical entity containing a chemical component linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a cellulose binding domain (CBD) having a binding constant for crystalline cellulose (Kr-c) of at least 10 l / g of cellulose, and / or a binding constant for Avicel (Kr-av) and / or amorphous cellulose (Kr-am) of at least 1.5 l / g of cellulose. In WO 91/10732, novel cellulase enzyme derivatives are described which combine a core region derived from an endoglucanase which can be produced by a strain of Bacillus spp., NICMB 40250, with a CBD derived from another cellulase enzyme, or combining a core region derived from another cellulase enzyme with a CBD derived from said endoglucanase, for improved binding properties. In WO 94/07998 cellulase variants of a cellulase classified in the family 45 are described, which comprise a CBD, a catalytically active domain (CAD) and a region that binds the CBD to the CAD, where they have been added, deleted or substituted one or more amino acid residues; and / or another CBD is added at the opposite end of the CAD. WO 95/16782 refers to the cloning and high level of expression of novel truncated cellulase proteins, or derivatives thereof, in Trichoderma longibrachiatum, which comprise different core regions with several CBDs. WO 97/01629 describes the preparation of a cellulolytic enzyme in which the mobility of the cellulase component can be reduced by adsorption in an insoluble or soluble carrier, for example by the existing CBD or a newly introduced one. WO 97/28243 describes a process for the removal of bleach or dirt or spots of cellulosic fabrics, wherein the fabric is contacted in aqueous medium with a modified enzyme comprising a catalytically active amino acid sequence of a non-cellulolytic enzyme selected from amylases, proteases, lipases, pectinases and oxidoreductases, linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a cellulose binding domain, and a detergent composition comprising said modified enzyme and a surfactant. WO 98/00500 describes a composition comprising a protein deposition aid having high affinity for fibers or a surface, and having a beneficial agent adhered / adsorbed thereto. However, none of these documents describe an improved chemical entity with enhanced deposition, comprising a chemical component linked to an amino acid sequence that contains a cellulose binding domain and has a binding constant for crystalline cellulose (Kr-c) of at least 10 l / g of cellulose, and / or a binding constant for Avicel (Kr-av) and / or amorphous cellulose (Kr-am) of at least 1.5 l / g of cellulose. Thus defining an improved chemical entity that has a very high affinity for cellulose and is specially adapted to selectively bind to cotton fibers, ie, crystalline cellulose, Avicel, and / or amorphous cellulose; and that provides new, superior, increased and / or more cost-effective performance of the chemical components in a laundry and / or fabric care application.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved chemical entity comprising a chemical component that is linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a cellulose binding domain having a binding constant (Kr) for crystalline cellulose (Kr-c) of at least 10 l / g of cellulose, preferably at least 20 l / g of cellulose, and / or a binding constant for Avicel (Kr-av) and / or amorphous cellulose (Kr-am) of at least 1.5 l / g of cellulose, preferably 5 l / g of cellulose. This improved chemical entity has a very high affinity for cellulose and is especially adapted to selectively bind to cotton fibers, ie, crystalline cellulose, Avicel and / or amorphous cellulose.
The present invention also relates to laundry detergent and / or fabric care compositions comprising one or more improved chemical entities. These compositions provide new, improved and superior performance, more cost-effective, of the chemical components. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of the improved chemical entity to efficiently and effectively deposit a chemical component on a fabric.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improved chemical entity comprising a chemical component linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a specific cellulose domain specifically selected for having a binding constant (Kr) for crystalline cellulose (Kr-c). ) of at least 10 l / g of cellulose, preferably at least 20 l / g of cellulose, and / or a binding constant for Avicel (Kr-av) and / or amorphous cellulose (Kr-am) of minus 1.5 l / g of cellulose, preferably 5 l / g of cellulose. The object of the present invention is to increase and / or improve the performance and cost effectiveness of a chemical component, increasing its deposition capacity. This object is achieved by the formulation of an improved chemical entity comprising a chemical component linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected cellulose binding domain. It has surprisingly been found that such improved chemical entities in which CBD has been particularly selected for its greatest deposition to cellulose, adhere to or otherwise contact the fabric more quickly. This results in a new, greater and / or increased yield of the chemical component on the surface of the fabric, or when it is released during or after the laundry and / or fabric care operations. Therefore, this allows to formulate compositions in a more cost effective manner, with a substantially increased deposition, and consequently greater benefits of the chemical entity. The present invention encompasses chemical entities with one or more chemical components linked to one or more amino acid sequences comprising one or more cellulose binding domains, potentially with one or more linker regions.
Cellulose Binding Domain (CBD) In the present context, the terms "amino acid sequence comprising a cellulose binding domain (CBD)" are used to indicate an amino acid sequence capable of effecting the binding of the cellulase to a substrate cellulose (for example, as described by P. Kraulis et al., "Determination of the three-dimensional structure of C terminal domain of cellobiohydrolase I from Trichoderma reesei: A study using nuclear magnetic resonance and hybrid distance geometry-dynamically simulated annealing" -Determination of the three-dimensional structure of the C-terminal domain of cellobiohydrolase I of 7. reesei: A study using nuclear magnetic resonance and dynamically simulated binding and hybrid distance geometry-, Biochemistry 28: 7241-7257, 1989). The classification and properties of cellulose binding domains are presented by P. Tomme and others in the symposium "Enzymatic degradation of insoluble polysaccharides" - Enzymatic degradation of insoluble polysaccharides - (ACS Symposium Series 618, edited by J.N. Saddler and M.H. Penner, ACS, 1995). The cellulose binding domains (and other carbohydrate binding domains) are polypeptide amino acid sequences that occur as integral parts of large polypeptides or proteins consisting of two or more polypeptide amino acid sequence regions, especially in hydrolytic enzymes ( hydrolases) typically comprising a catalytic domain containing the active site for hydrolysis of the substrate and a carbohydrate binding domain for the attachment of the carbohydrate substrate in question. Said enzymes may comprise more than one catalytic domain and one, two or three carbohydrate binding domains, and may also comprise one or more polypeptide amino acid sequence regions that link the carbohydrate binding domains with the catalytic domains, being denoted a region of the last type as a "linker" or "linker region".
Examples of hydrolytic enzymes comprising a cellulose binding domain are cellulase, xylanases, mannanases, arabinofuranosidases, acetylesterases and chitinases. "Cellulose binding domains" have also been found in algae, for example in the red alga Porphyra purpurea, in the form of a non-hydrolytic polysaccharide binding protein [see P. Tomme et al., "Cellulose-binding domains -Classification. and Properties in Enzymatic Degradation of Insoluble Carbohydrates "-cellulose binding domains, classification and properties in the enzymatic degradation of insoluble carbohydrates- John N. Saddler and Michael H. Penner (eds.), ACS Symposium Series, No. 618 (1996 )]. However, most known CBDs (which are classified and referred to by P. Tomme et al. (Cited work) as "cellulose binding domains"), are cellulase and xylase derivatives. In the present context, the term "cellulose binding domain" is understood in the same manner as in the antepor reference (P. Tomme et al., Cited work). The P. Tomme reference classifies more than 120"cellulose binding domains" in 10 families (l-X) that may have different roles or functions with respect to the binding mechanism of the substrate. However, it is anticipated that in the future new representatives of families and additional families will appear. In proteins / polypeptides in which CBDs occur (eg enzymes, typically hydrolytic enzymes such as cellulases), a CBD may be located at the N or C terminus or in an internal position.
The part of a polypeptide or protein (eg, a hydrolytic enzyme) that per se constitutes a CBD, typically consists of more than about 30 and less than about 250 amino acid residues. For example, the CBDs listed and classified in family I according to P. Tomme et al. (Cited work), consist of 33-37 amino acid residues; those listed and classified in the lia family consist of 95-118 amino acid residues; the listings and classified in the VI family consist of 85-92 amino acid residues; whereas a CBD (derived from a Clostridium thermocellum cellulase) listed and classified in the Vil family consists of 240 amino acid residues. Therefore, the molecular weight of an amino acid sequence that per se constitutes a CBD, will usually be on the scale from about 4kD to about 40kD, and usually below about 35kD. Cellulose binding domains can be produced by recombinant techniques such as those described by H. Stalbrand et al., "Applied and Environmental Microbiology" - Environmental and applied microbiology, March, 1995, pages 1090-1097; E. Brun et al. (1995) Eur. J. Biochem. 231, pages 142-148; J.B. Coutinho et al. (1992) Molecular Microbiology 6 (9), pages 1243-1252. To isolate a cellulose binding domain, for example from a cellulase, various genetic engineering approaches can be used. One method uses a restriction enzyme to remove a portion of the gene and then fuse in the frame the remaining gene-vector fragment to obtain a mutated gene that encodes a protein truncated by a particular gene fragment. Another method involves the use of exonucleases such as Ba131, to systematically suppress nucleotides, either externally from the 5 'and 3' ends of the DNA, or internally from a restricted space within the gene. These gene suppression methods result in a mutated gene encoding a shortened gene molecule, whose expression product can then be evaluated for substrate binding capacity (e.g. cellulose binding). Suitable substrates for evaluating binding capacity include cellulosic materials such as Avicel ™ and cotton fibers. Other methods include the use of a selective or specific protease capable of cutting a CBD, for example a terminal CBD, from the remainder of the polypeptide chain of the protein in question.
Selected cellulose binding domains The present invention relates to an improved chemical entity wherein the chemical component is linked to one or more amino acid sequences comprising one or more cellulose binding domains, characterized in that they have a binding constant (Kr ) for crystalline cellulose (Kr-c) of at least 10 l / g of cellulose, preferably 20 l / g of cellulose, and / or a binding constant for Avicel (Kr-av) and / or amorphous cellulose (Kr- am) of at least 1.5 l / g of cellulose, preferably 5 l / g of cellulose; and hereafter referred to as "CBD selected".

(1996) Biochem. 35, 13895-13906); and is determined from the slope of a graph of 1 / [Xb] against 1 / [XT], using double-weighted least-squares analysis; where [N0] is the concentration of binding sites in the absence of ligand (mol (g of cellulose) "1), Ka is the equilibrium constant of association (L mol'1), [Xb] is the concentration of ligand bound (mol (g of cellulose) "1) and [Xf] is the concentration of udder ligand (molar) (NR Gilkes et al. (1992), J. Biol. Chem., 267 pages 6743-6749). Microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel PH101) can be obtained from FMC International (Little Island, County Cork, Ireland). Bacterial microcrystalline cellulose (BMCC) can be prepared from Acetobacter xylinum cultures (ATCC 23769), as described by Gilkes et al., 1992 (cited above). Regenerated cellulose (PASC) can be obtained by treatment with phosphoric acid from Avicel PH101, as reported by Coutinho et al. (1992) Mol. Microbiol. 6, 1243-1252.

(Cited work)].

Particularly suitable encapsulating materials are water-soluble capsules consisting of a polysaccharide matrix and polyhydroxy compounds such as those described in GB 1, 464,616. Other suitable water soluble encapsulating materials comprise the dextrins derived from acid esters of non-gelatinized starch of substituted dicarboxylic acids, such as those described in the patent of E.U.A. No. 3,455,838. These acid ester dextrins are preferably prepared from starches such as waxy maize, waxy sorghum, sago, tapioca and potato. Suitable examples of such encapsulating materials include N-Lok, manufactured by National Starch. The N-Lok encapsulating material consists of a modified corn starch and glucose. The starch is modified by adding substituted monofunctional groups such as octenylsuccinic acid anhydride.
Perfumes Most consumers have come to expect scented laundry products, and expect that washed fabrics will also have a pleasant fragrance. Consumers also want washed fabrics to keep the fragrance pleasant over time. The perfume additives make the laundry compositions more aesthetically pleasing to the consumer, and in some cases the perfume imparts a pleasant fragrance to the fabrics treated therewith. However, often the amount of perfume transferred from an aqueous wash solution to the fabrics is marginal, and does not last long on the fabric. Fragrance materials are often very expensive, and their ineffective use in fabric softener compositions to add in the rinse, and ineffective release of the rinse to fabrics, result in a very high cost for both consumers and consumers. fabric softener manufacturers. Therefore, the industry continues to seek a more efficient and effective release form of the fragrance in laundry detergent and / or fabric care compositions, especially to improve the provision of lasting fragrance in rinsed fabrics. Therefore, the industry continues to seek improved alternatives to generate fragrances through economic and effective means. The present invention encompasses an improved perfume entity in which at least one chemical component is a perfume composition linked to a selected CBD. The perfume compound binds to the CBD and / or to the linker region selected by means of a weak bond. It is considered that improved perfume substantivity will be achieved by linking perfume compounds to a selected CBD. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the slow hydrolysis of the weak link within the improved perfume entity will improve the release of the perfume. Actually, after the operation of washing or care of clothes, the weak link will be hydrolyzed and the perfume will be released. It has surprisingly been found that these improved perfume entities provide a more pleasant and lasting fragrance through economic and effective means. For example, it is known that alcohols represent key aromas in perfumery. However, many alcohols are too volatile to remain perceptibly on the dry fabrics and / or are not substantive enough to be optimally deposited on the fabric, such as in a softening operation during washing. The binding of these perfume alcohols with the selected CBD and / or linker region can be achieved, for example, by an ester linkage to a carboxylic group of the polyreactive linker region, or to a succinic acid molecule which alone is linked to a hydroxy group of the polyreactive linker region. A further example is perfumery aldehydes, known to provide a fresh scent on fabrics, and especially on dry fabrics. However, many perfume aldehydes are not sufficiently deposited on the fabrics and / or are too volatile. A known solution of the technique consists of using a second matter! of perfume containing an amine group to form a Shiff base. Said bases of Shiff present a higher residuality on the fabrics, but have a poor substantivity in the cloth and cause a change in the character of the aldehyde perfume. Therefore, the improved perfume entities encompassed in the present invention provide a high substantivity in the fabric, which results in a reduction in the waste of the fabric care wringer's perfume in the wash, as well as retention and deposition. of the perfume on the fabrics during the whole washing. In addition, these improved perfume entities provide a significant release of the perfume in dry washed fabrics, giving a lasting fragrance. Moreover, the amine groups encompassed within the CBD and / or linker region of the present invention have no odor impact or change the character of the perfume. Fully formulated fragrance can be prepared using many known odoriferous ingredients, of both natural and synthetic origin. The range of natural raw materials can encompass not only easily volatile components, but also moderately and slightly volatile ones; and that of synthetics may include representatives of virtually all kinds of fragrant substances, as will be evident from the following illustrative compilation. In this list of perfume ingredients, some are commercial names conventionally known to those skilled in the art, and also include isomers. Said isomers are also suitable for use in the present invention. A typical description of suitable ketones and / or aldehydes, traditionally used in perfumery, can be found in "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals" - Chemical agents for perfume and flavoring - Vol. I and II, S.

Hygienic Agents The present invention encompasses an improved hygienic entity wherein at least one chemical component is a hygienic agent linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected CBD. The sanitary agent will be bonded to the CBD, and / or to the selected linker region, by means of a weak link, to release the active material during or after the washing or care of the fabric operation. Preferably, the sanitary agent comprises a reactive hydroxyl, carboxyl or aldehyde moiety. It has surprisingly been found that such improved hygienic entities provide a very long and very efficient control of the growth of microorganisms on the stored and used fabrics. This improved hygienic entity can be incorporated into a laundry detergent and / or fabric care detergent composition of the present invention. Disinfection includes all the positive effects obtained by inhibiting or reducing microbial activity on fabrics and other surfaces, such as preventing the development of bad odor and growth of bacteria and fungi. For example, it prevents the development of bad smell on the stored and used fabrics. In particular, the composition of the present invention will inhibit or at least reduce the bacterial and / or fungal growth on the wet fabric that awaits subsequent washing operations., and thereby prevent the formation of a bad smell. Here, the term hygienic agents covers fungicides and antimicrobials that when applied to fabrics prevent or reduce the growth of fungi or bacteria, respectively.

Insect Control Agents The present invention encompasses improved insect control entities wherein at least one chemical component is an insect control agent linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected CBD. It has been surprisingly determined that such improved insect control entities provide for much longer insect control by the slow release of the insect control agent. Said improved insect control agent entities can be incorporated into laundry detergent and / or fabric care compositions. These improved insect control entities are linked to the selected CBD and / or linker region, preferably by means of a weak link, to release the active material over time. For example, these materials can be linked to the NH2 group present in the selected CBD and / or linker region, by means of a Shiff base or a Michael reaction. The term "insect control agent" refers to both insecticides and insect repellents, either individually or as mixtures. Examples of insect repellents can be found in the chemical technology Kirk-Othmer encyclopedia, fourth edition, volume 13, pages 474 to 478. Suitable insect repellents include aldehyde-based compounds such as citronellal and rotundial, compounds based on enone such as butopironoxyl (Indalone ™), benzyl benzoate, bíoaletrin and dimetrin, N, N-diethyl toluamide ("DEET"), N, N-diethylbenzamide, p-menthane-3,8-diol, 1 S, 3S , 4S, 6S-Carene-3,4-diol (Sumitomo-U.S. Patent No. 5,130,136), 1-piperidinecarboxylic acid, 2- (2-hydroxyethyl) -1-methylpropyl ester, 1- (3-cyclohexen-1- il-carbonyl) -2-methylpiperidine, 1- (3-cyclohexen-1-yl-carbonyl) piperidine, N, N-diethylmandelamide, isopulegol hydrate, ethyl-3- (N-butyl-N-acetyl) aminopropionate, diisopropyl adipate, a-biasal, yerbabuena oil, benzyl alcohol, N, N-diethylphenylacetamide, vitamin E, lemon balm oil, coconut oil, cedroleo, geraniol, lemon oil, thyme oil, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, geranium oil, eugenol, 3-acetyl-2- (2,6-dimethyl-5-heptenyl) oxazolidine, acid lactone (2-hydroxymethylcyclohexyl) ) acetic acid and eucalyptol. Other insect control agents are based on pyrethroid insecticides, in particular 3-phenoxybenzyl-DL-cis, trans-3- (2,2-dichlorovinyl) -2,2-di-methylcyclopropane-carboxylate (permethrin). . In WO 98/17772 the insect repellent agent prcpionate of 3- (N-butylacetamino) ethyl is described for use in detergents. Preferred insect repellents are the aldehyde-based compounds such as citronellal and rotundial. When included in the compositions of the present invention, these improved insect control entities will generally be comprised at a level of 0.1% to 40%, preferably 0.1% to 10% by weight of the composition.
Bleaching agents The present invention encompasses an improved bleaching entity wherein at least one chemical component is a bleaching agent linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected CBD. Said bleaching agent can be selected from hydrophilic bleach activators, hydrophobic bleach activators, metal catalysts and / or photoactivated bleach. It has surprisingly been found that the bleaching action with said improved bleaching agent entities results in improved and increased bleaching / removal of stains / dirt and maintenance of whiteness. The present invention also encompasses laundry detergent and / or fabric care compositions comprising said improved bleaching entities. Without wishing to be limited by theory, it is believed that the bleaching / removal of stains / dirt and improved whiteness maintenance result from the generation of oxygen radicals, the perhydrolysis of peracetic acid or peracid occurring very close to the fabric. Said peracetic acid or peracid is less diluted in the washing solution because the bleaching entity of the present invention is deposited very efficiently on the fabric and thereby improves the bleaching action on the fabric. Preferably, the bleach activator is linked to the selected CBD by a linker region, preferably by a polyreactive linker region. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the presence of this linker region provides flexibility to the bleach activator, allowing it to move around the CBD and perform its bleaching action more efficiently on the fabric. (1) Hydrophilic bleach activator: For example, tetraacetylethylene diamine (TAED) is a common bleach activator used in laundry detergents; form peracetic acid in the presence of H2O2. It is known that the two NH2 groups of ethylenediamine are diacetylated to form TAED. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that diacetylation of the free NH2 groups of the selected CBD and / or linker region forms a substantive hydrophilic bleach activator in the web. The hydrophilic bleach activator of the TAED type can be ligated for example by a diacetylation reaction with any NH2 group of the CBD and / or linker region selected from the present invention. (2) Hydrophobic bleach activators: such as nonanoylbenzenesulfonate, are common bleach activators used in laundry detergents. It has surprisingly been found that the phenolic portion can be replaced with that which is present in the amino acid tyrosine present in the selected CBD and / or linker region. Active hydrophobic bleach activator precursors such as the nonanyl unit can be ligated with the phenol group of an amino acid such as tyrosine, present in the CBD and / or peptide linker region selected. Similarly, if no phenol entity is available in the selected CBD and / or linker region, a phenol unit can be linked to an NH2 group in this selected CBD and / or linker region. In general, hydrophobic bleach activators can be ligated to the selected CBD and / or linker region, for example by a reaction on the NH2 groups. Other examples of suitable hydrophobic bleach activators are: nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS, described in US Patent No. 4,412,934), 3,5-trimethylhexanoloxybenzenesulfonate (ISONOBS, described in EP 120,591) or pentaacetylglucose (PAG) or N-nonanoyl phenolsulfonate ester -6-aminocaproic acid (NACA-OBS, described in WO 94/28106), which are perhydrolyzed to form a peracid as the active bleaching species, leading to an improved bleaching effect. Also suitable are bleach activators based on a leaving group of caprolactam, such as benzoylcaprolactam and hexanoylcaprolactam quaternary ammonium; the imide activators such as N-nonanoyl-N-methyl-acetamide and the non-symmetric acyclic imide bleach activator of the following formula, as described in copending patent applications of E.U.A. from Procter & Gamble Serial No. 60 / 022,786 (filed July 30, 1996) and No. 60 / 028,122 (filed October 15, 1996): wherein Ri is a straight or branched chain saturated or unsaturated alkyl group of C7-Ci3, R2 is a straight or branched chain saturated or unsaturated alkyl group of C -? - C8 and R3 is a saturated or unsaturated chain alkyl group linear or branched CrC. These bleach activators can be linked, for example, to any NH2 group in the polyreactive linker region. Also suitable are the preformed peracids, such as nonilamidoperoxiadipic acid and N, N-phthaloylaminoperoxycaproic acid, and the diacyl peroxides such as dibenzoyl peroxide. (3) Metal catalysts: A third type of bleach activator that may be embedded in the improved bleach entity of the present invention are the metal catalysts described below. For example, these catalysts can be ligated, via their blocking cyclo-azo moieties, with the NH2 groups of the CBD and / or linker region selected. Examples of catalysts containing meta! for use in bleaching compositions, include cobalt-containing catalysts such as the salts of cobalt pentaamineacetate (III) and manganese-containing catalysts such as those described in EPA 549 271; EPA 549 272; EPA 458 397; patent of E.U.A. No. 5,246,621; EPA 458 398; patent of E.U.A. No. 5,194,416 and US patent. No. 5,114,611. Patent application No. 94870206.3 discloses a bleaching composition comprising a peroxy compound, a bleaching catalyst containing manganese and a chelating agent. (4) Photoactivated bleach: Another group of suitable bleach activators that can be included in the improved bleach entity of the present invention is that of photoactivated bleach. For example, the linkage can be carried out between the NH2 groups and the benzyl groups of these photoactivated bleaches, activated by preliminary bromination. Suitable photoactivated bleaching agents are the sulphonated phthalocyanines of zinc and / or aluminum. These materials can be deposited on the substrate during the washing operation. After irradiation with light, in the presence of oxygen, such as by hanging the clothes to be dried in daylight, the sulfonated zinc phthalocyanine is activated and consequently the substrate is bleached. The preferred zinc phthalocyanine and a fctoactivated bleaching process are described in the US patent. 4,033,718. Typically, the compositions herein will contain from about 0.025% to about 1.25% by weight of sulfonated zinc phthalocyanine. In addition to this improved bleaching entity, the compositions of the present invention may also comprise bleaching species such as hydrogen peroxide, PB1, PB4 and percarbonate, with a particle size of 400-800 microns, typically present at levels of 1% to 25%. % by weight of the total composition. When included in the compositions of the present invention, these improved bleaching entities will generally be comprised at a level of 0.001% to 40%, preferably 0.1% to 10% by weight of the total composition.
Fabric Softening Agents The present invention encompasses an improved fabric softening entity wherein at least one chemical component is a fabric softening agent linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected CBD. It has surprisingly been found that such improved fabric softening entities provide anti-wrinkle properties, against the formation of pellets and against shrinkage of the fabrics, as well as softness of the fabric. These improved softening entities can be incorporated into a laundry detergent and / or fabric care composition. In recent years, consumer desire for durable ironing cloth garments, particularly cotton cloth garments, has increased. Durable ironing garments include garments that resist wrinkling of the fabric both during use and during washing operations. Durable ironing clothes can greatly reduce the manual labor associated with laundry, eliminating the ironing sometimes necessary to prevent wrinkling of the garment. However, in most commercially available durable ironing fabrics, the ability of the fabric to resist wrinkling over time is reduced as the garment is worn and washed repeatedly. Therefore, the improved fabric softening entities of the present invention, help to eliminate this problem by providing excellent anti-wrinkling properties, due to an effective deposition of the improved softening entity on the fabric. Suitable fabric softening agents are dialkyl units which can be ligated, for example, by dialkylation of the NH2 groups comprised in the selected CBD and / or linker region. Preferably, said fabric softening entities will not comprise a weak link. The dialkyl units suitable for the compositions of the present invention can be extracted from the following cationic surfactants softeners currently used in the context of laundry and / or fabric care detergents. The alkyl or alkenyl chain will contain at least 1 1 carbon atoms, preferably at least 16 carbon atoms. The chain can be straight or branched. Specific examples of the alkyl or alkenyl chains herein include: (1) N, N-di (tallowyloxyethyl); (2) N, N-di (2-tallowoyloxy-2-oxo-ethyl); (3) N, N-di (2-tallowyloxyethylcarbonyloxyethyl); (4) N- (2-tallowoyloxy-2-ethyl) -N- (2-tallowoyloxy-2-oxo-ethyl); (5) N- (2-tallowoyloxy-2-oxoethyl) -N- (tallowyl); and (6) 1,2-diisoxyloxy; and mixtures of any of the above materials. Preferred alkyl chains for the purposes of the present invention are N, N-di (tallowyloxyethyl), wherein the tallow chains are at least partially unsaturated. Other suitable fabric softening agents include quaternary ammonium softening compounds having a solubility in water at pH 2.5 and 20 ° C of less than 10 g / l. It is particularly advantageous if the fabric softening agent is a quaternary ammonium compound in which at least one long chain alkyl group is attached to the quaternary ammonium compound by at least one ester linkage. In the patent of E.U.A. No. 4,137,180 (Naik) and WO 93/23510 are suitable cationic softeners. Clay and silicone are also suitable as softening components. Suitable clays include stratified stratified clay, preferably one having a cation exchange capacity as described in GB 1, 400, 898 and USP 5,019,292. Especially preferred are clays that are 2: 1 layer phyllosilicates that have a net charge efficiency in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 g equivalent per half cell unit, as described in EP 350 288 (Unilever). The present invention also encompasses any polymeric lubricant suitable for softening a fabric. These include silicone, and in particular those described in GB 1, 549,180; EP 459 821 (Unilever) and EP 459 822 (Unilever).
When included in the present invention, these improved fabric softening entities will generally be comprised at a level of 0.5% to 50%, preferably 1% to 30%, preferably 2% to 15% by weight of the composition.
Dye fixing agents The present invention encompasses an improved dye fixing entity, wherein at least one chemical component is a dye binding agent linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected CBD. It has surprisingly been found that such improved colorant setting entities provide improved properties against wear and color appearance. Laundry detergent and / or fabric care compositions comprising an improved colorant setting entity are also included in the present invention. In reality, colored garments tend to wear out and show loss of color appearance. A part of this loss in color appearance can be attributed to abrasion in the washing operation, particularly in automatic washing machines and automatic laundry dryers. Dye fixing agents are well-known commercially available materials that are designed to improve the appearance of the dyed fabric by reducing the loss of dye from the fabrics due to washing. Many dye fixatives are cationic and are based on various organic nitrogen compounds quaternized or cationically charged in some other way. The fixators are available under various trade names from various suppliers. Representative examples include CROSCOLOR PMF (July 1981, Code No. 7894) and CROSCOLOR NOFF (January 1988, code No. 8544) from Crosfield; INDOSOL E-50 (February 27, 1984, ref No. 6008.35.84, based on polyethyleneamine) from Sandoz; SANDOFIX TPS, also available from Sandoz, is a preferred polycationic fixative for use herein, and SANDOFIX SWE (cationic resinous compound), REWIN SRF, REWIN SRF-O and REWIN DWR from CHT-Beitlich GMBH. Other cationic dye fixing agents are described in "Aftertreatments for Improving the Fastness of Dyes on Textile Fibers" by Christopher C. Cook (REV. PROG. COLORATÍON Vol. 12, 1982). Additional suitable dye fixing agents for use in the present invention are ammonium compounds such as fatty acid diamine condensates, for example hydrochloride, acetate, methylsulfate and oleyldietilaminoethylamide benzyl hydrochloride, oleylmethyl diethylenediamine methosulfate, monostearylethylene methosulfate. -diaminotrimethylammonium, and oxidized products of tertiary amines; derivatives of polymeric alkyldiamines, condensates of polyamine-cyanuric chloride and aminated glycerol dichlorhydrins. When included in the compositions of the present invention, these improved colorant setting entities will generally be comprised at a level of from 0.01% to 30%, preferably from 0.1% to 15% by weight of the composition.
Soil Removal Agents The present invention encompasses an improved soil removal entity, wherein at least one chemical component is a soil removal agent linked to an amino acid sequence comprising a selected CBD. It has surprisingly been found that such improved soil removal entities provide better deposition of the soil removing agent on the fabric and therefore better soil removal action. Also included in the present invention are laundry and / or fabric care detergent compositions comprising said improved soil removal entity. The soil removal agents suitable for the present invention are oligomers of ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and derivatives such as transesterified polyethylene glycols and propylene polyoxyethylene. Other suitable soil removal agents useful in the compositions of the present invention are conventionally copolymers or terpolymers of terephthalic acid with ethylene glycol and / or propylene glycol units in various arrangements. Examples of such polymers are described in the patents of E.U.A. commonly assigned Nos. 4116885 and 4711730, and in published European patent application No. 0 272 033. A particular preferred polymer in accordance with EP-AO 272 033, has the formula: (CH3 (PEG) 43) 0.75 (POH) 0.25 [T-PO) 2.8s-PEG) -0.4] T (PO- H) 0.25 ((PEG) 43CH3) 0.75 where PEG is - (002 ^) 0-, PO is (OC3H6O) and T is (PCOC6H4CO). Modified polyethers are also very useful as random copolymers of dimethyl terephthalate, dimethyl sulfoisophthalate, ethylene glycol and 1,2-propanediol, the end groups consist mainly of sulfobenzoate and secondarily of monoesters of ethylene glycol and / or propanediol. The objective is to obtain a polymer blocked at both ends with sulfobenzoate groups; "mainly", in the present context means that most of said copolymers will be blocked at their ends with sulfobenzoate groups.
