Abstract

Described herein is a method for the treatment of onychomycosis, which consists in the administration of a compound containing a mixture of vegetable fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic, stearic and palmitic acids, the mixture optionally but not necessarily including an antifungal agent. The compound may be manufactured using common vegetable oils and fats. The inventive compound is directly applied onto the affected area without performing mechanical processes for favouring the penetration or adhesion thereof.

Description

"COMPOSED OF TOPICAL APPLICATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF ONICOMYCOSES".
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION.
Onychomycosis is the most frequent pathology and is responsible for approximately 50% of nail diseases. Traditionally the treatment of this pathology has been difficult, obtaining low rates of cure and high rates of recurrence. The appearance of new antifungals for topical and systemic administration has represented an important advance in the treatment of omcomicosis. The most commonly used systemic treatment for onychomycosis includes oral administration of terbaphine, itraconazole and fluconazole. Even though the antifungals administered by this route are quite powerful to achieve healing, they often have secondary effects, among which are hepatotoxicity, gastrointestinal, skin and taste alterations. Topical treatment would constitute the ideal therapy since it does not produce adverse systemic effects, however, the low penetration of the antifungals administered by this route has limited its use. The current trend in the treatment of onychomycosis points towards the development of new compounds for topical application that offer a high cure rate and a low rate of side effects. The search for such treatment has led to propose methods that include the use of lacquers, acid or alkaline compounds and creams with high content of urea or salicylic acid, some of these treatments have been designed to be used alone or in combination with an antifungal agent. American patents (6,495,124, 6,676,953, 6,846,837, 6,743,417, 6,821,508), the objective is to facilitate the penetration of the drug and eliminate the fungus causing the infection.
The treatment subject of the present invention comprises the administration of a compound for topical use with fungicide potential, penetrating power, low toxicity and which optionally but not necessarily may include a known antifungal agent.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The objective of this invention is directed to the use of vegetable fatty acids: oleic, linoleic, stearic and palmitic for the preparation of a topical administration compound, useful in the treatment of onychomycosis and which can optionally be incorporated as one of its ingredients, a known antifungal agent. Many dermatological preparations incorporate fatty acids in their formulation due to their proven properties as emollients, restorers and skin protectors. Some of them have proven to be useful as facilitators of drug penetration. Oleic acid, due to its action on the stratum corneum (considered one of the forming elements of the dermal barrier), has been used successfully in the formulation of preparations in which a high dermal penetration power is necessary. Applied topically it has been shown to produce structural changes in this tissue which facilitates the penetration of drugs with pharmacological action. Jim Jiang S, Jun Zhou X. Biol Pharm Bull 2003; 26 (1): 66-68. The deficiency of essential fatty acids results in skin disturbances such as increased trans-epidermal water loss and cellular hyperproliferation. There is evidence that not only the dietary supplementation of these acids is effective for the treatment of such alterations. Also the topical application of oils rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and in particular linoleic acid, has been shown to be able to reverse these effects Nugteren DH, Christ-Hazelhof E, Van der Beek A, Houtsmuller UM.

The stearic and pálñitic acids also favor the balance of fatty acids in the compound, a factor of great importance in the recovery of the functionality of the dermal barrier. Man MQ M, Feingold KR, Thornfeldt CR, Elias PM. J Invest Dermatol 1996; 106 (5): 1096-1101. They contribute in the elaboration and the characteristics of the same for their usefulness in the preparation of oil-in-water emulsions, which have great penetrating power solubility and as thickeners and film formers, an important quality for the topical administration of drugs.
The antifungal potential against dermatophytes of fatty acids has been reported in studies in which the original source (vegetable oils) has been used Abraham A, Mohapatra LN, Kandhari KC, Pandhi RK, Bhutani LK.

They have also been shown to possess antifungal activity against some fungi that infest plants Walters D, Ra nor L, Mitchell A, Walker R, Walker K. Mycopathologia 2004; l57 (1): 87-90. Topically applied antifungal agents have been shown to be useful in the management of skin mycoses; however, its effectiveness for the treatment of onychomycosis is limited due to the low penetration of the drug in the affected area. The absorption of water and the subsequent softening of the nail plate is a well-known event. When an aqueous formulation is used, the nail softens as the water is incorporated by the nail plate and consequently, the keratin web expands to form pores through which the molecules can penetrate more easily. In practice, the use of aqueous vehicles is less useful than the use of lipid vehicles because the aqueous vehicles are easily removed and do not adhere properly to the nail plate. Mertin and Lippold J Pharm Pharmacol 1997; 49: 241-245, proposed that as long as the vehicle does not produce changes in the nail barrier, the flow of the drug from a suspension is independent of the vehicle because the higher concentration of the drug , is located on the donor side of the plate and therefore, the concentration gradient is achieved with the maximum flow of the drug. In the case of the proposed preparation, due to its characteristics (oil-in-water emulsion), they favor both the permanence of the drug in the nail plate (mainly due to the use of stearic and palmitic acid), as well as its flow to the nail bed for the presence of oleic acid. In this way, the combination of fatty acids used for the preparation, the source thereof, and its formulation give the compound both pharmacological and dermatological characteristics, which are very useful for the treatment of onychomycosis.
