Definitions

  • the present application is directed to compositions for enhancing nail and cuticle health and growth.
  • Hair and nails including toenails and fingernails, are primarily composed of the protein keratin. These protein amino acid chains are held together by similar peptide bonds. The factors that affect the growth of nails and hair and the requirements for their proper health are similar.
  • Fingernails and toenails are living tissue.
  • the nail is formed in a pocket of skin which has grown inward and is called the nail matrix. This area generates the nail and is also called the root of the nail.
  • the outer layer of the matrix contains specialized cells that create the keratin that grows out as the nail plate.
  • the nail plate is the commonly referred to as a fingernail or toenail.
  • the nail bed is the finger tissue or toe tissue that supports the nail. Nails grow continuously throughout a person's life, growing approximately at an average rate of 3 millimeters a month. Fingernails may require 3 to 6 months to re-grow completely, and toenails require approximately 12 to 18 months. Actual growth rate is dependent upon age, gender, season, exercise level, diet, and hereditary factors.
  • Brittle Nail Syndrome can be characterized by trachyonychia (e.g. surface roughness), lamellar onychoschizia (e.g. horizontal layering/peeling), and/or onychorrhexis (e.g. longitudinal cracking or splitting of the distal edge).
  • Brittle Nail Syndrome can also result in nail fragility, lack of thickness and/or poor nail growth. Brittle Nail Syndrome is due in part to chronic inflammation of the nail bed.
  • fingernail and toe nail problems due to various conditions such as anemia, vitamin or mineral deficiency, onycohrrhexis, kidney and liver disorders, psoriasis, vascular disease (e.g., Raynaud's disease) and heart disease often result in poor nail growth, vertical trenches, pitting, cracking, horizontal lines, lack of thickness and strength, lack of smoothness, tendency to tear and other symptoms of Brittle Nail Syndrome.
  • vascular disease e.g., Raynaud's disease
  • the present invention is directed to compositions and methods for enhancing nail health, cuticle health and/or nail growth in a mammal, including humans. Certain embodiments of the invention are directed to compositions and methods for treating Brittle Nail Syndrome in a mammal, including humans.
  • the compositions include one or more prostaglandins and/or prostamides, including analogs/prodrugs thereof.
  • the compositions include one or more anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • the compositions include one or more prostaglandins and/or prostamides in combination with one or more anti-inflammatory drugs.
  • the composition used for enhancing nail health comprises bimatoprost.
  • Bimatoprost is sold by Allergan, Inc. of Irvine, Calif., U.S.A. as Lumigan® ophthalmic solution, for treating glaucoma, and as Latisse® for increasing the growth of eyelashes when applied in the FDA approved manner.
  • compositions can be administered topically to the nail bed, nail matrix, the end or tip of the nail and cuticle in an amount effective to enhance nail health and/or cuticle health, for example by thickening, strengthening and/or smoothing the nail and/or cuticle, and in certain embodiments by treating Brittle Nail Syndrome.
  • the compositions can be administered topically to the nail bed, nail matrix, the end or tip of the nail and cuticle in an amount effective to enhance nail growth.
  • the composition can be administered once a day, twice a day, three times a day, four times a day, five times a day, six times a day, once a week, twice a week, three times a week, four times a week, five times a week or six times a week.
  • the composition can come in a kit comprising a vial or dispenser containing the composition and an applicator (e.g. brush).
  • compositions of the present invention include but are not limited to emulsions, microemulsions, reverse emulsions, solutions, colloids, suspensions, dispersions, gels, pastes and polishes.
  • the composition includes at least one active compound selected from a prostaglandin, a prostamide, and analogs/prodrugs/derivatives thereof.
  • the composition includes at least one prostamide derivative (e.g. bimatoprost).
  • the composition includes a combination of a prostamide derivative (e.g. brimatoprost) and an anti-inflammatory (e.g. ketorolac).
  • the composition includes a combination of at least one prostamide derivative and at least one immunomodulator.
  • the composition includes a combination of bimatoprost and cyclosporine.
  • the composition includes at least one retinoid such as tazortene.
