Definitions

  • the invention relates to an alcohol-free, cosmetic or pharmaceutical foam carrier and its use. More specifically, the invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical foam carrier suitable for inclusion of both water soluble and oil soluble pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents.
  • External topical administration is an important route for the administration of drugs in disease treatment.
  • the drug is absorbed into and/or through skin, mucous membrane or wound tissue.
  • Many groups of drugs including, for example, antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, analgesic, anti-allergic, corticosteroid, retinoid and anti-proliferative medications are preferably administered in hydrophobic media, e.g. ointments or oils.
  • hydrophobic media e.g. ointments or oils.
  • ointments containing white petrolatum e.g., Vaseline petroleum jelly
  • the carrier often form an impermeable barrier, so that metabolic products and excreta from the wounds to which they are applied are not easily removed or drained away.
  • the active drug dissolved in the carrier it is difficult for the active drug dissolved in the carrier to pass through the white petrolatum barrier layer into the wound tissue, so the efficacy of the drug is reduced.
  • ointments and creams often do not create an environment for promoting respiration of the wound tissue and it is not favorable to the normal respiration of the skin.
  • An additional disadvantage of petroleum jelly-based products relates to the greasy feeling left following their topical application onto the skin, mucosal membranes and wounds.
  • hydrophobic pharmaceutical carriers now in use include liquid paraffin, lanolin, beeswax, vegetable oil, glycerin monostearate, higher alcohols, polyethylene glycol and some emulsifying agents, which also have undesirable flow properties and skin feel.
  • hydrophobic liquid and semi-solid oils e.g., mono- and polyunsaturated oils from vegetable and marine sources, mineral oils, silicone oils, and liquid hydrophobic plant-derived oils
  • Oils can also contain essential nutritional constituents, such as oil-soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamin A and vitamin E), minerals and other therapeutically beneficial constituents.
  • Another class of therapeutic oils includes mineral and silicon oils useful for the treatment of skin dehydration and other medical disorders, which oils are liquid at ambient temperature. Such therapeutic oils unfortunately, cannot be applied by users in amounts sufficient to exert therapeutic affects because of they typically are liquid at use temperatures.
  • a foam should contain hydrophobic substances (solvents), which can act as emollients and provide the skin with soothing and nourishing properties.
  • solvents hydrophobic substances
  • such hydrophobic solvents are difficult to formulate into a lather-producing or foam-producing product because the hydrophobic solvents interfere with the lather forming ability of the surfactant.
  • addition of oils and other emollients to topical formulations can result in an unpleasant or annoying skin residue.
  • Emulsion systems provide a two-phase system including lipophilic or hydrophobic components in one phase and hydrophilic components in the second phase.
  • the foamed emulsion typically is an oil-in-water emulsion in which the hydrophobic component is dispersed in the aqueous continuous phase.
  • Surfactants for reducing surface tension and emulsifiers for improving foam stability are included in the foam composition.
  • Foams and, in particular, foam emulsions are complicated systems which do not form under all circumstances. Slight shifts in foam emulsion composition, such as by the addition of active ingredients, may destabilize the foam.
  • emulsions do not provide the high foam capacity, foam stability and/or fast-breaking action under stress or temperatures that are desired in a topical foam composition.
  • a particularly desirable type of oil-containing foam is such wherein all or part of the oil phase comprises silicone oil.
  • Silicone oil is known for its skin protective features and its incorporation in topical products is beneficial. However, it is not obvious to produce silicone oil-based foams, since many silicone oils possess anti-foaming properties.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920 discloses treatment of various skin diseases, and in particular, scalp psoriasis, using a foamable pharmaceutical composition containing a corticosteroid active substance, an aliphatic alcohol, water, a fatty alcohol, a surface-active agent, a propellant and a buffering agent.
  • the foamable composition contains 40-90% w/w composition of an aliphatic alcohol.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920 is typical of many compositions that use aliphatic alcohols in the foam composition.
  • alcohols promotes fast drying and thereby attempts to address the sticky feeling left by many topical formulations after application; however, alcohols, and in particular the methyl, ethyl and isopropyl alcohols preferred in the '920 patent, are defatting agents and may cause skin to become dry and cracked. Hence, the presence of aliphatic alcohol in a therapeutic foam for external topical administration as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920 is undesirable.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,743 to Borgman describes a buffered non-flowing composition suitable for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis which contains metronidazole.
  • Suitable formulations include oil-in-water emulsions including an internal oil phase of about 10-40 wt % oil and anionic, cationic or nonionic surfactants.
  • Suitable components of the oleaginous phase include long chain alcohols, esters, and acids, vegetable and animal oils and waxes. No other stabilizing agents are disclosed for use in foam aerosol compositions.
  • EP 0,598,412 describes a composition that is useful for skin protection against drying and harsh environmental substances.
  • the protection is derived from the inclusion of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) in the composition.
  • PTFE poly(tetrafluoroethylene)
  • the composition includes low levels of both hydrophilic emollients and hydrophobic emollients.
  • the compositions include high levels of surfactants, including ionic surfactants, and co-emulsifiers resulting in thick emulsions which are not flowable, and thus providing products which are inefficient foamers (or non-foaming) and too thick for spreading over large skin areas.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,423,323 describes an aqueous foam emulsion.
  • the composition includes a hydrophobic phase including fatty acids, emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers, and an aqueous phase containing hydrophilic moisturizers and emulsifiers.
  • An optional ingredient according to U.S. Pat. No. 6,423,323 is one or more refatting substances, in preferable concentrations of 0.5 to 2%, if the product is to be used for normal skin; and 3 to 6% for dry skin. Addition of high levels of co-emulsifiers such as fatty alcohols and fatty acids suggest that the foam is not stable. No other stabilizing agents are disclosed.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,635,469 describes a foamable cleansing liquid composition comprising about 0.05% to about 10% of an emollient, in addition to cleansing surfactants, humectants and water soluble cationic or nonionic polymers, but no propellants.
  • Low density foams are achieved using a novel non-aerosol foam dispenser. The foaming is achieved by operating a manual pump, which is not convenient for operation.
  • Emollients and humectants are included to improve the level of hydration and/or lipid content of the skin.
  • the patent notes that emollients and humectants interfere with the lather forming ability of the surfactant.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,113,888 teaches a single water phase composition comprising a self-tanning agent, a nitrogen-free polymer, a nitrogen-free surfactant, and water.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,679,324 to Lisboa pertains to an aerosol foamable fragrance composition, translucent in its pre-dispensed state, which forms a fast breaking foam. Apparently the foam breaks spontaneously upon discharging from an aerosol container (with no need of any rubbing or sheer force application), thus, making is impractical for spreading over a skin surface.
  • the composition contains surfactant, a propellant, a fragrance, a thickener, and a cosmetic vehicle (preferably water) wherein the ratio of the surfactant to propellant is from about 1:1 to about 1:10.
  • Emollients including silicone oils, mineral oils and hydrocarbon oils may be included.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,251,369 discloses foamable dental fluoride compositions containing a water-soluble fluoride component, whereby said compositions include an oil in water emulsion.
  • the patent fails to specify the identity or concentration of the oil component of the emulsion; and none of the compositions presented in the examples contain any oil component.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,961,957 describes a barrier foam composition comprising from 70 to 90% of water, from 7 to 9% of butane, from 2 to 4% of glyceryl monostearate, from 1.5 to 3.50% of dimethicone copolyol (a water-soluble silicone compound), from 1 to 3% of propane, from 0.5 to 2.5% of lanolin, from 0.5 to 2.5% of stearic acid and from 0.05 to 1.05% of at least one of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone.

The invention relates to an alcohol-free cosmetic or pharmaceutical foam carrier comprising water, a hydrophobic solvent, a foam adjuvant agent, a surface-active agent and a water gelling agent. The cosmetic or pharmaceutical foam carrier does not contain aliphatic alcohols, making it non-irritating and non-drying. The alcohol-free foam carrier is suitable for inclusion of both water-soluble and oil soluble pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents.

Description

  • This application claims priority to Related applications of Israeli patent application No. 152486 filed Oct. 25, 2002 entitled “Alcohol-free Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Foam Carrier”, and to U.S. provisional patent application No. 60/495,546, filed Nov. 29, 2002, entitled “Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Foam”, which are incorporated herein in their entirety.
    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention relates to an alcohol-free, cosmetic or pharmaceutical foam carrier and its use. More specifically, the invention relates to a cosmetic or pharmaceutical foam carrier suitable for inclusion of both water soluble and oil soluble pharmaceutical and cosmetic agents.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • External topical administration is an important route for the administration of drugs in disease treatment. In external topical administration, the drug is absorbed into and/or through skin, mucous membrane or wound tissue. Many groups of drugs, including, for example, antibiotic, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anesthetic, analgesic, anti-allergic, corticosteroid, retinoid and anti-proliferative medications are preferably administered in hydrophobic media, e.g. ointments or oils. However, due to the undesirable consistency of these hydrophobic carriers, their use is limited. For instance, ointments containing white petrolatum, e.g., Vaseline petroleum jelly, as the carrier often form an impermeable barrier, so that metabolic products and excreta from the wounds to which they are applied are not easily removed or drained away. Furthermore, it is difficult for the active drug dissolved in the carrier to pass through the white petrolatum barrier layer into the wound tissue, so the efficacy of the drug is reduced.
  • In addition, ointments and creams often do not create an environment for promoting respiration of the wound tissue and it is not favorable to the normal respiration of the skin. An additional disadvantage of petroleum jelly-based products relates to the greasy feeling left following their topical application onto the skin, mucosal membranes and wounds. Besides petroleum jelly, hydrophobic pharmaceutical carriers now in use include liquid paraffin, lanolin, beeswax, vegetable oil, glycerin monostearate, higher alcohols, polyethylene glycol and some emulsifying agents, which also have undesirable flow properties and skin feel.
  • Several hydrophobic liquid and semi-solid oils, e.g., mono- and polyunsaturated oils from vegetable and marine sources, mineral oils, silicone oils, and liquid hydrophobic plant-derived oils, are known for their therapeutic benefits when applied topically, yet, their application in liquid form is not practical. Oils can also contain essential nutritional constituents, such as oil-soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamin A and vitamin E), minerals and other therapeutically beneficial constituents. Another class of therapeutic oils includes mineral and silicon oils useful for the treatment of skin dehydration and other medical disorders, which oils are liquid at ambient temperature. Such therapeutic oils unfortunately, cannot be applied by users in amounts sufficient to exert therapeutic affects because of they typically are liquid at use temperatures.
  • Other pharmaceutical active ingredients are water-soluble and require a water component in the carrier.
  • While semi-solid cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations, such as creams, lotions, gels and ointments are commonly used by consumers, new forms are desirable, in order to achieve better control of the application, while maintaining or bestowing the skin beneficial properties of such products. Thus, the development of a new composition, having breakable foam consistency when extruded out of a container and liquid properties when applied onto the skin is advantageous. Ideally a foam should contain hydrophobic substances (solvents), which can act as emollients and provide the skin with soothing and nourishing properties. However, such hydrophobic solvents are difficult to formulate into a lather-producing or foam-producing product because the hydrophobic solvents interfere with the lather forming ability of the surfactant. Furthermore, addition of oils and other emollients to topical formulations can result in an unpleasant or annoying skin residue.
  • Use of emulsions in foam compositions is known. Emulsion systems provide a two-phase system including lipophilic or hydrophobic components in one phase and hydrophilic components in the second phase. The foamed emulsion typically is an oil-in-water emulsion in which the hydrophobic component is dispersed in the aqueous continuous phase. Surfactants for reducing surface tension and emulsifiers for improving foam stability are included in the foam composition.
  • Foams and, in particular, foam emulsions are complicated systems which do not form under all circumstances. Slight shifts in foam emulsion composition, such as by the addition of active ingredients, may destabilize the foam.
  • Furthermore, many emulsions do not provide the high foam capacity, foam stability and/or fast-breaking action under stress or temperatures that are desired in a topical foam composition.
  • A particularly desirable type of oil-containing foam is such wherein all or part of the oil phase comprises silicone oil. Silicone oil is known for its skin protective features and its incorporation in topical products is beneficial. However, it is not obvious to produce silicone oil-based foams, since many silicone oils possess anti-foaming properties.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920 discloses treatment of various skin diseases, and in particular, scalp psoriasis, using a foamable pharmaceutical composition containing a corticosteroid active substance, an aliphatic alcohol, water, a fatty alcohol, a surface-active agent, a propellant and a buffering agent. The foamable composition contains 40-90% w/w composition of an aliphatic alcohol. U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920 is typical of many compositions that use aliphatic alcohols in the foam composition. The alcohol promotes fast drying and thereby attempts to address the sticky feeling left by many topical formulations after application; however, alcohols, and in particular the methyl, ethyl and isopropyl alcohols preferred in the '920 patent, are defatting agents and may cause skin to become dry and cracked. Hence, the presence of aliphatic alcohol in a therapeutic foam for external topical administration as taught in U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920 is undesirable.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,743 to Borgman describes a buffered non-flowing composition suitable for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis which contains metronidazole. Suitable formulations include oil-in-water emulsions including an internal oil phase of about 10-40 wt % oil and anionic, cationic or nonionic surfactants. Suitable components of the oleaginous phase include long chain alcohols, esters, and acids, vegetable and animal oils and waxes. No other stabilizing agents are disclosed for use in foam aerosol compositions.
  • EP 0,598,412 describes a composition that is useful for skin protection against drying and harsh environmental substances. The protection is derived from the inclusion of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) in the composition. The composition includes low levels of both hydrophilic emollients and hydrophobic emollients. The compositions include high levels of surfactants, including ionic surfactants, and co-emulsifiers resulting in thick emulsions which are not flowable, and thus providing products which are inefficient foamers (or non-foaming) and too thick for spreading over large skin areas.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,423,323 describes an aqueous foam emulsion. The composition includes a hydrophobic phase including fatty acids, emulsifiers and co-emulsifiers, and an aqueous phase containing hydrophilic moisturizers and emulsifiers. An optional ingredient according to U.S. Pat. No. 6,423,323 is one or more refatting substances, in preferable concentrations of 0.5 to 2%, if the product is to be used for normal skin; and 3 to 6% for dry skin. Addition of high levels of co-emulsifiers such as fatty alcohols and fatty acids suggest that the foam is not stable. No other stabilizing agents are disclosed.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,635,469 describes a foamable cleansing liquid composition comprising about 0.05% to about 10% of an emollient, in addition to cleansing surfactants, humectants and water soluble cationic or nonionic polymers, but no propellants. Low density foams are achieved using a novel non-aerosol foam dispenser. The foaming is achieved by operating a manual pump, which is not convenient for operation. Emollients and humectants are included to improve the level of hydration and/or lipid content of the skin. However, the patent notes that emollients and humectants interfere with the lather forming ability of the surfactant.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,113,888 teaches a single water phase composition comprising a self-tanning agent, a nitrogen-free polymer, a nitrogen-free surfactant, and water.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,679,324 to Lisboa pertains to an aerosol foamable fragrance composition, translucent in its pre-dispensed state, which forms a fast breaking foam. Apparently the foam breaks spontaneously upon discharging from an aerosol container (with no need of any rubbing or sheer force application), thus, making is impractical for spreading over a skin surface. The composition contains surfactant, a propellant, a fragrance, a thickener, and a cosmetic vehicle (preferably water) wherein the ratio of the surfactant to propellant is from about 1:1 to about 1:10. Emollients including silicone oils, mineral oils and hydrocarbon oils may be included.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,251,369 discloses foamable dental fluoride compositions containing a water-soluble fluoride component, whereby said compositions include an oil in water emulsion. However, the patent fails to specify the identity or concentration of the oil component of the emulsion; and none of the compositions presented in the examples contain any oil component.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,961,957 describes a barrier foam composition comprising from 70 to 90% of water, from 7 to 9% of butane, from 2 to 4% of glyceryl monostearate, from 1.5 to 3.50% of dimethicone copolyol (a water-soluble silicone compound), from 1 to 3% of propane, from 0.5 to 2.5% of lanolin, from 0.5 to 2.5% of stearic acid and from 0.05 to 1.05% of at least one of methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone.
  • A few dermatological foam products are available on the market.
  • Olux™ Foam, produced by Connetics, Inc., contains clobetasol propionate. Each gram of Olux™ Foam contains 0.5 mg clobetasol propionate, USP, in a thermolabile foam, which consists of ethanol (60%), purified water, propylene glycol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, citric acid, and potassium citrate. It is dispensed from an aluminum can pressurized with a hydrocarbon propellant (propane/butane). Luxiq™ is another corticosteroid foam medication, containing 1.2 mg betamethasone valerate per gram, in a vehicle, comprising ethanol (60.4%), purified water, propylene glycol, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, polysorbate 60, citric acid, and potassium citrate, and pressurized with a hydrocarbon propellant.
  • Cortifoam, a hydrocortisone acetate rectal foam is produced by Schwartz Pharma GmbH, wherein the hydrocortisone is present at 10% in a foam vehicle. Nonmedicinal ingredients of Cortifoam include cetyl alcohol, ethoxylated stearyl alcohol, methylparaben, polyoxyethylene-10 stearyl ether, propylene glycol, propylparaben, triethanolamine, water, and inert propellants, isobutene, and propane.
  • Thus, foam compositions for topical treatment, containing higher concentrations of oils, and do not comprise alcohol are still desirable. Foam compositions that are robust and suitable for inclusion of a wide range of active ingredients are desired.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • Despite the commonly known fact that hydrophobic solvents are difficult to formulate into a lather-producing or foam-producing product and that addition of conventional hydrophobic solvents interferes with the lather forming ability of the surfactant, we have surprisingly discovered a series of foamable carrier compositions, which, upon admixing with a liquefied gas propellant in an aerosol container, produces a foamable composition that is suitable for topical administration. Upon discharge from an aerosol container, the composition forms a breakable foam, which is rich and creamy in appearance, and show very fine bubble structure. The foam does not break down immediately upon discharge, however, it collapses to spread easily onto a skin area upon slight rubbing.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the alcohol-free cosmetic or pharmaceutical foamable carrier composition includes water, a liquid, non-volatile hydrophobic solvent, a foam adjuvant agent selected from the group consisting of fatty acids and fatty alcohols, a surface-active agent and a water gelling agent. Such foamable carriers, when placed in an aerosol container and combined with a liquefied gas propellant, create an oil in water emulsion, which, upon release from the aerosol container, provides a therapeutically beneficial foam product. The foam retains its structure for a time sufficient for a user to apply and to rub the foam into the skin. The foam has a very low yield strength and, hence, it breaks upon touch and makes rubbing easy and efficient, and its application even.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the foamable carrier composition the hydrophobic solvent content is about 2-5% and has a composition as follows:
  • Class A Composition:
      • about 2-5% hydrophobic solvent;
      • about 80-98% water;
      • about 0.1% to 5% foam adjuvant agent;
      • about 0.1% to 5% surface-active agent; and
      • about 0.1% to 5% water gelling agent.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the foamable composition the hydrophobic solvent content is about 5-10% and has a composition as follows:
  • Class B Composition:
      • about 5-10% hydrophobic solvent;
      • about 75-95% water;
      • about 0.1% to 5% foam adjuvant agent;
      • about 0.1% to 5% surface-active agent; and
      • about 0.1% to 5% water gelling agent.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the foamable composition the hydrophobic solvent content is about 10-20% and has a composition as follows:
  • Class C Composition:
      • about 10-20% hydrophobic solvent;
      • about 60-90% water;
      • about 0.1% to 5% foam adjuvant agent;
      • about 0.1% to 5% surface-active agent; and
      • about 0.1% to 5% water gelling agent.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the foamable composition the hydrophobic solvent content is about 20-75% and has a composition as follows:
  • Class A Composition:
      • about 20-75% hydrophobic solvent;
      • about 25-75% water;
      • about 0.1% to 5% foam adjuvant agent;
      • about 0.1% to 5% surface-active agent; and
      • about 0.1% to 5% water gelling agent.
  • All % values are provided on a weight (w/w) basis, based on the composition with out propellant (unless otherwise specified)..
  • The cosmetic or pharmaceutical foamable carrier composition is liquid. The foamable of the present invention does not contain short chain aliphatic alcohols, making it non-irritating and non-drying. Alcohols penetrate the skin's protective barrier and break down the intercellular matrix. In a recent publication by the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), titled “Facing the Facts about Skin Care Products” it is stated “[i]ndividuals with dry skin should avoid astringents and any product with alcohol because they easily strip away moisture from the skin” (see: www.aad.org/PressReleases FacingFacts.html). Another AAD publication, titled “Sensitive About Your Skin?”, recommends to “[a]void solvents that penetrate the skin including, propylene glycol and ethanol” (see: www.aad.org/PressReleases/sensitive.html).
  • The alcohol-free foam carrier is formulated as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, so that it is suitable for inclusion of either water-soluble and oil soluble active agents (or both). The foamable carrier composition of the present invention, when admixed with a propellant substance in an amount of about 5-25% by weight of the total composition in an aerosol container, produces lightweight breakable foam, suitable for facile application onto the skin, and other body areas, which may accept topically-applied products. Since the propellant, in the pressurized container is in liquid state, upon admixing the foamable carrier composition with the propellant, a stable emulsion, comprising the oil and the propellant (jointly as the “oil phase” component of such emulsion) is formed.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, an alcohol-free cosmetic or pharmaceutical product is provided. The product includes a foam carrier composition according to one or more embodiments of the present invention and an active cosmetic or pharmaceutical ingredient in a therapeutically effective concentration. Cosmetic and pharmaceutical agents can be included in each of the compositions described above and in the detailed description that follows. Pharmaceutical products are intended for topical treatment of human and animal skin disorders, or any other disorder, that requires topical application of a drug. Cosmetic products are intended for beautifying the skin and improving its appearance.
  • Cosmetic and medical disorders that are best treated using the alcohol-free foam carrier and the alcohol-free cosmetic or pharmaceutical product are identified, and the advantages of such carrier and products is demonstrated as compared to currently available options.
  • The foam of the present invention is advantageous to current options, for one or more of the following reasons:
      • (1) The foam is lightweight and thus, economical.
      • (2) The foam contains a hydrophobic solvent, in any desirable concentration, which provides a refatting and skin soothing effect, as well as a carrier for hydrophobic active agents.
      • (3) The foam contains silicone oil in a therapeutically effective concentration
      • (4) The foam includes active agent, both water soluble and oil soluble.
      • (5) The foam is easily spreadable, allowing treatment of large areas such as the arms, back, legs and the breast.
      • (6) Due to its flow properties, it spreads effectively into folds and wrinkles, providing uniform distribution of the active agent without the need of extensive rubbing and absorbs into the skin.
    BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • A more complete appreciation of the present invention and many of its advantages will be understood by reference to the following detailed description when considered in connection with the following drawings, which are presented for the purpose of illustration only are not intended to limit the scope of the appended claims, and in which:
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the improvement in the treatment of psoriasis using Bethasone valerate 0.12% foam; and
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the improvement in the treatment of atopic dermatitis using Bethasone valerate 0.12% foam.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • Hydrophobic Solvent
  • A hydrophobic solvent according to the present invention is a liquid material having solubility in distilled water at ambient temperature of less than about 1 gm per 100 mL, more preferable less than about 0.5 gm per 100 mL, and most preferably less than about 0.1 gm per 100 mL. It is liquid at ambient temperature.
  • The total content of hydrophobic solvent may vary from 2% to 75% (w/w) of the foamable composition. However, different ranges (herein “composition classes A-D”) have been designated, in order to facilitate a choice of an appropriate class, according to the anticipated cosmetic or pharmaceutical need.
  • As a rule of thumb, higher hydrophobic solvent concentrations are more appropriate for the treatment of dry skin, and/or for the treatment of a disease, which is more responsive to drugs delivered in an oily vehicle. Likewise, the higher oil-content composition classes provide an enhanced occlusive effect, which in turn induces the skin penetration of an active agent. Another consideration relates to user acceptance of a product containing a high concentration of the hydrophobic solvent (from about 25% of the composition), which would leave some oily feeling post-application. Thus, a particular composition of the present invention is selected having a hydrophobic solvent concentration in view of the target population and its specific needs.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the hydrophobic solvent is mineral oil. Mineral oil (Chemical Abstracts Service Registry number 8012-95-1) is a mixture of aliphatic, naphthalenic, and aromatic liquid hydrocarbons that are derived from petroleum. It is typically liquid; its viscosity is in the range of about 35 CST to about 100 CST (at 40° C.), and its pour point (the lowest temperature at which an oil can be handled without excessive amounts of wax crystals forming) is below 0° C. By contrast, white petrolatum, also termed “Vaseline”, is disadvantageous, due to its waxy nature. It is known to leave waxy and sticky feeling after application and occasionally stain cloths. Thus, white petrolatum and other semi-solid oils are not a preferred hydrophobic solvent according to the present invention.
  • Yet another preferred hydrophobic solvents are liquid oils from vegetable, marine or animal sources. By way of example, the unsaturated oil may be selected from the group consisting of olive, corn, soybean, canola, cottonseed, coconut, sesame, sunflower, borage seed, syzigium aromaticum, hempseed, herring, cod-liver, salmon, flaxseed, wheat germ and evening primrose oils and mixtures thereof, at any proportion.
  • A particularly preferred class of oils includes polyunsaturated oils, e.g., esters, and in particular glyceryl esters, of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Examples of such polyunsaturated fatty acids are linoleic and linolenic acid, gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Thus, in one or more embodiments of the present invention the hydrophobic solvent includes at least 6% by weight foamable composition of an oil selected from omega-3 oil, omega-6 oil, and mixtures thereof.
  • Another class of oils suitable for use as a phydrophobic solvent is liquid hydrophobic plant-derived oils, or essential oils, e.g. “therapeutic oils” containing active biologically occurring molecules that have a therapeutic effect when applied topically. Examples of such oils include rosehip oil, which contain retinoids and is known to reduce acne and post-acne scars, and tea tree oil, which possess antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Other examples of essential oils are oils of basil, camphor, cardamom, carrot, citronella, clary sage, clove, cypress, frankincense, ginger, grapefruit, hyssop, jasmine, lavender, lemon, mandarin, marjoram, myrrh, neroli, nutmeg, petitgrain, sage, tangerine, vanilla, verbena, as well as any other therapeutically beneficial oil, know in the art of herbal medication.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the hydrophobic solvent is an “emollient”. An emollient is a hydrophobic agent that softens, smoothens and improves lipid content of the skin or other mucous membranes. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the emollient is a liquid. Without derogating the generality of this definition, examples of suitable emollients for use include isostearic acid derivatives, isopropyl palmitate, lanolin oil, diisopropyl dimerate, diisopropyl adipate, dimethyl isosorbide, maleated soybean oil, octyl palmitate, isopropyl isostearate, cetyl lactate, cetyl ricinoleate, tocopheryl acetate, acetylated lanolin alcohol, cetyl acetate, phenyl trimethicone, glyceryl oleate, tocopheryl linoleate, wheat germ glycerides, arachidyl propionate, myristyl lactate, decyl oleate, propylene glycol ricinoleate, isopropyl lanolate, pentaerythrityl tetrastearate, neopentylglycol dicaprylate/dicaprate, hydrogenated coco-glycerides, isononyl isononanoate, isotridecyl isononanoate, myristyl myristate, triisocetyl citrate, octyl dodecanol, octyl hydroxystearate and mixtures thereof. Other examples of other suitable emollients can also be found in the Cosmetic Bench Reference, pp. 1.19-1.22 (1996). In one or more embodiments, the hydrophobic solvent is a mixture of a mineral oil or silicone oil and an emollient.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, silicone oil is a component of the hydrophobic solvent. Silicone oils are used in the foamable compositions due to their known skin protective and occlusive properties. Suitable silicone oils for use in the invention include non-volatile silicones, such as polyalkyl siloxanes, polyaryl siloxanes, polyalkylaryl siloxanes and polyether siloxane copolymers, polydimethylsiloxanes (dimethicones) and poly(dimethylsiloxane)-(diphenyl-siloxane) copolymers. These are preferably chosen from cyclic or linear polydimethylsiloxanes containing from about 3 to about 9, preferably from about 4 to about 5, silicon atoms. Volatile silicones such as cyclomethicones can also be used. Water-soluble silicones, such as dimethicone copolyol are not included in the definition of silicone oils (as hydrophobic solvents) according to the present invention.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the composition comprises at least 2% (w/w foamable composition) silicone oil, alone or as part of the hydrophobic solvent. Yet, in other embodiments, the composition comprises at least 5% (w/w) silicone oil alone or as part of the hydrophobic solvent.
  • The hydrophobic solvent of the present invention may comprise a mixture of two or more of the above hydrophobic solvents in any proportion.
  • Foam Adjuvant Agents
  • Foam adjuvants are included in the foamable compositions of the present invention to increase the foaming capacity of surfactants and/or to stabilize the foam. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the foam adjuvant agents includes fatty alcohols having 15 or more carbons in their carbon chain, such as cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol (or mixtures thereof). Other examples of fatty alcohols are arachidyl alcohol (C20), behenyl alcohol (C22), 1-triacontanol (C30), as well as alcohols with longer carbon chains (up to C50). Fatty alcohols, derived from beeswax, including a mixture of alcohols, a majority of which has at least 20 carbon atoms in their carbon chain, are especially well suited as foam adjuvant agents according to the present invention. The concentration of the fatty alcohol, required to support the foam system is inversely related to the length of its carbon chains.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the foam adjuvant agent includes fatty acids having 16 or more carbons in their carbon chain, such as hexadecanoic acid (C16) stearic acid (C18), arachidic acid (C20), behenic acid (C22), octacosanoic acid (C28), as well as fatty acids with longer carbon chains (up to C50), or mixtures thereof.
  • Optionally, the carbon atom chain of the fatty alcohol or the fatty acid may have at least one double bond. A further class of foam adjuvant agent according to the present invention comprises a long chain fatty alcohol or fatty acid, wherein the carbon atom chain is branched. The carbon chain of the fatty acid or fatty alcohol can be substituted with a hydroxyl group, such as 12-hydroxy stearic acid.
  • The foam adjuvant agent according to one or more embodiments of the present invention includes a mixture of fatty alcohols, fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids and derivatives thereof in any proportion, providing that the total amount is 0.1% to 5% (w/w) of the carrier mass. More preferably, the total amount is 0.4%-2.5% (w/w) of the carrier mass.
  • While fatty alcohols and fatty acids serve to stabilize the resultant foam composition, they often provide additional therapeutic properties. Long chain saturated and mono unsaturated fatty alcohols, e.g., stearyl alcohol, erycyl alcohol, arachidyl alcohol and docosanol have been reported to possess antiviral, anti infective, anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory properties (U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,794). Longer chain fatty alcohols, e.g., tetracosanol, hexacosanol, heptacosanol, octacosanol, triacontanol, etc. are also known for their metabolism modifying properties and tissue energizing properties. Long chain fatty acids have also been reported to possess anti-infective characteristics. Thus, the pharmaceutical or cosmetic carrier, containing the foam adjuvant agent of the present invention provides an extra therapeutic benefit in comparison with currently used vehicles, which are inert and non-active.
  • Surface-Active Agents
  • Surface-active agents, according to the present invention include any agent linking oil and water in the composition.
  • The surface-active agent is suitably selected from anionic, cationic, nonionic, zwitterionic, amphoteric and ampholytic surfactants, as well as mixtures of these surfactants. Such surfactants are well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulation art. Nonlimiting examples of possible surfactants include polysorbates, such as polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate (Tween 60) and poly(oxyethylene) (20) sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80); poly(oxyethylene) (POE) fatty acid esters, such as Myrj 45, Myrj 49 and Myrj 59; poly(oxyethylene) alkylyl ethers, such as poly(oxyethylene) cetyl ether, poly(oxyethylene) palmityl ether, polyethylene oxide hexadecyl ether, polyethylene glycol cetyl ether, brij 38, brij 52, brij 56 and brij W1; sucrose esters, partial esters of sorbitol and its anhydrides, such as sorbitan monolaurate and sorbitan monolaurate; mono or diglycerides, isoceteth-20, sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, sodium lauryl sulfate, triethanolamine lauryl sulfate and betaines.
  • A combination of surface active agents is possible. Any surface-active agent or combinations thereof may be used as surface-active agent. According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the surface-active agent (or agents) has an HLB of higher than 9.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the surface-active agent is selected from the groups of non ionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric and zwitterionic surfactants, and, in particular, the surface-active agent is a non-ionic surfactant. Ionic surfactants (including cationic, anionic, amphotheric and zwitterionic surfactants) are known to be skin irritants. Therefore, non-ionic surfactants are preferred in applications including sensitive skin such as found in most dermological disorders. We have surprisingly found that non-ionic surfactants alone provide foams of excellent quality, i.e. a score of “E” according to the grading scale discussed below.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the surface active agent is solely non-ionic, comprising one or more non-ionic surfactants.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the surface active agent include a ratio of non-ionic surfactants to ionic surfactants in the range of 100:1 to 6:1; in some embodiments the non-ionic to ionic surfactant ratio is greater than 6:1, or greater than 8:1; or greater than 14:1, or greater than 16:1, or greater than 20:1.

  • The polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene (POE-POP) block copolymers are a unique class of polymeric surfactants. The unique structure of the surfactants, with hydrophilic POE and hydrophobic POP moieties in well-defined ratios and positions, provides a wide variety of surfactants suitable for use in the present invention. These surfactants are available under various trade names, including Synperonic PE series (ICI), Pluronic® series (BASF), Emkalyx, Lutrol (BASF), Supronic, Monolan, Pluracare, and Plurodac.

  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the surface-active agent comprise mono-, di- and tri-esters of sucrose with food fatty acids (sucrose esters), prepared from sucrose and methyl and ethyl esters of food fatty acids or by extraction from sucroglycerides. Exemplary sucrose esters include sucrose monopalmitate and sucrose monolaurate. Suitable sucrose esters include those having a high monoester content, which have higher HLB values.
  • In one or more embodiments of the present invention, a combination of a non-ionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant (such as sodium lauryl sulphate) is employed, at a ratio of between 1:1 and 20:1, or at a ratio of 4:1 to 10:1. The resultant foam has a low specific gravity, e.g., less than 0.1 g/ml, which upon rubbing (shear stress) onto the skin collapses easily, to allow facile absorption.
  • Unlike prior art foamable compositions, the total surfactant employed to obtain a foam that is stable, of low specific gravity and has a fine bubble structure is low. Lower surfactant levels, particularly of ionic surfactants, are preferred to reduce skin irritations. Total surfactant is in the range of 0.1 to 5.0 wt % of the foamable composition, and is typically less than 2 wt %, or even less than 1 wt %.
  • Water Gelling Agents
  • The water gelling agent according to one or more embodiments of the present invention stablizes the acqueons phase by, for example, increasing viscosity and linking capability. Exemplary water gelling agents that can be used in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present invention include for example, but are not limited to, naturally-occurring polymeric materials such as, locust bean gum, sodium alginate, sodium caseinate, egg albumin, gelatin agar, carrageenin gum sodium alginate, xanthan gum, quince seed extract, tragacanth gum, starch, chemically modified starches and the like, semi-synthetic polymeric materials such as cellulose ethers (e.g. hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxy propylmethyl cellulose), polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylalcohol, guar gum, hydroxypropyl guar gum, soluble starch, cationic celluloses, cationic guars and the like and synthetic polymeric materials such as carboxyvinyl polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol polyacrylic acid polymers, polymethacrylic acid polymers, polyvinyl acetate polymers, polyvinyl chloride polymers, polyvinylidene chloride polymers and the like. Mixtures of the above compounds are contemplated.
  • Further exemplary water gelling agents include the acrylic acid/ethyl acrylate copolymers and the carboxyvinyl polymers sold, for example, by the B.F. Goodrich Company under the trademark of Carbopol Registered™ resins. These resins consist essentially of a colloidal water-soluble polyalkenyl polyether crosslinked polymer of acrylic acid crosslinked with from 0.75% to 2% of a crosslinking agent such as polyallyl sucrose or polyallyl pentaerythritol. Examples include Carbopol 934, Carbopol 940, Carbopol 950, Carbopol 980, Carbopol 951 and Carbopol 981. Carbopol 934 is a water-soluble polymer of acrylic acid crosslinked with about 1% of a polyallyl ether of sucrose having an average of about 5.8 allyl groups for each sucrose molecule.
  • The gelling agent is present in an amount in the range of about 0.1% to about 5.0 wt % of the foamable composition. In one or more embodiments, it is typically less than 1 wt % of the foamable composition.
  • “Alcohol Free”
  • Unlike the composition disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920, which contains a 40-90 wt % aliphatic alcohol, the composition of the present invention does not contain such amount alcohols. For the purpose of the present application, the term “alcohol free” shall mean that the composition contains no more than an incidental amount of an aliphatic alcohol, e.g. less than about 7.5% of any aliphatic alcohol, having one to six carbon atoms in their carbon backbone, or no more than 7.5% of any mixture of such aliphatic alcohols. Alcohols at these low levels are not considered to have a negative effect on skin or mucous membranes. In one or more embodiments, the foamable compositions do not contain any alcohol.
  • Optional Ingredients
  • The pharmaceutical or cosmetic foam carrier of the present invention may further optionally comprise a variety of pharmaceutical or cosmetic ingredients, which are added in order to fine-tune the consistency of the formulation, protect the formulation components from degradation and oxidation and bestow their cosmetic acceptability. Such excipients, may be selected, for example, from the group consisting of diglycerides, triglycerides, stabilizing agents, antioxidants, humectants, flavoring, colorant and odorant agents and other formulation components, used in the art of pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulary. A pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition manufactured using the foam carrier according to the present invention is very easy to use. When applied onto the afflicted body surface of humans or animals, it is in a foam state, allowing free application without spillage. Upon further application of a mechanical force, e.g., by rubbing the composition onto the body surface, it freely spreads on the surface and is rapidly absorbed.
  • Propellant Aerosol
  • Aerosol propellants are used to generate and administer the foamable composition as a foam. The total composition including propellant, foamable compositions and optional ingredients is referred to as the foamable carrier. The propellant makes up about 5-25 wt % of the foamable carrier. Examples of suitable propellants include volatile hydrocarbons such as butane, propane, isobutane or mixtures thereof, and fluorocarbon gases.
  • Composition and Foam Physical Characteristics
  • 1. Composition Flow Properties:
  • It is important to have a composition, including water, hydrophobic solvents, formulation excipients and propellant, in a stable emulsion, which ascertain acceptable shelf-life of the product.
  • Yet, another crucial property is that said composition has to be free flowing, since otherwise, it cannot flow through the dip-tube of the aerosol container and create acceptable foam. It has been noted that in the context of the composition of the present invention, compositions comprising semi-solid hydrophobic solvents, e.g., white petrolatum, are excessively viscous and demonstrate poor flowability.
  • The combination of a surface active agent, foaming adjuvant and water gelling agent according to one or more embodiments of the invention provides a low specific gravity foam having superior flow properties and sheer breakability (among other attributes). According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, the total amount of surface active agent, foaming adjuvant and water gelling agent, in combination does not exceed 8% (w/w) of foamable composition. In other embodiments, the combined amounts of surface active agent, foaming adjuvant and water gelling agent is less than 5% (w/w) of foamable composition. The low solids content improves the flow properties of the foam, reduces unpleasant skin residue and reduces the cost of manufacture. As is demonstrated herein, the foam quality and foam breakability is excellent, despite the low levels of these components in the foam.
  • 2. Foam Properties:
  • The following scale for foam quality is used to evaluate foams.
  • E (excellent): very rich and creamy in appearance, does not show any bubble structure or shows a very fine (small) bubble structure.
  • G (good): rich and creamy in appearance, very small bubble size, “dulls” more rapidly than an excellent foam.
  • FG (fairly good): a moderate amount of creaminess noticeable, bubble structure is noticeable.
  • F (fair): very little creaminess noticeable, larger bubble structure than a “fairly good” foam.
  • P (poor): no creaminess noticeable, large bubble structure.
  • VP (very poor): dry foam, large very dull bubbles, difficult to spread on the skin.
  • Foams, adequate for topical administration according to the present invention have to be of quality grade E or G, upon release from the aerosol container. Smaller bubbles mean more stable foam, which does not collapse spontaneously immediately upon discharge from the container. The finer foam structure looks and feels smoother, thus increasing its usability and appeal.
  • A crucial aspect of foam properties, according to the present invention is breakability. Sheer-force breakability of the foam, as attained by the composition of the present invention is clearly advantageous to thermally-induced breakability, present, for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,126,920, and the respective Olux and Luxiq products, as demonstrated by the fact that according to the use instructions of Olux and Luxiq, the foam cannot be applied on the hand and afterwards delivered to the afflicted area, since it immediately collapses upon exposure to skin temperature.
  • Yet, another important property is specific gravity of the foam, as measured upon release from the aerosol can. Typically, foams according to the present invention have specific gravity of less than 0.1 g/mL and more preferably, less than 0.05 g/mL.

By way of example, such disorders include localized pain in general, as well as joint pain, muscle pain, back pain, rheumatic pain, arthritis, ostheoarthritis and acute soft tissue injuries and sports injuries. Other disorders of this class include conditions, which respond to hormone therapy, such as hormone replacement therapy, transdermal nicotine administration, and other respective disorders, known in the art of drug delivery. The foam composition of the present invention is also useful in the delivery of local anesthetic agents.
  • Active Pharmaceutical Agents (Drugs)
  • The active pharmaceutical agents, also referred to as “drug(s)”, may consist of a single drug or a combination of drugs that can be dissolved in the water phase or the hydrophobic phase of the carrier composition. Examples of such drugs are antibiotic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiinflammatory, anesthetic, analgesic, antiallergic, corticosteroid, retinoid and antiproliferative medications and mixtures thereof at any proportion. The concentration of drugs may be adopted to exert a therapeutic effect on a disease when applied to an afflicted area.
  • Antibacterial Agents
  • One important class of drugs comprises antibacterial agents. It is well known that bacterial infections are involved in a variety of superficial disorders of the skin, eye, mucosal membrane, oral cavity, vagina and rectum. The antibacterial drug can be active against gram positive and gram-negative bacteria, protozoa, aerobic bacteria and unaerobic ones.
  • By way of example, the antibacterial drugs can be selected from the group of chloramphenicol, tetracyclines, synthetic and semi-synthesic penicillins, beta-lactames, quinolones, fluoroquinolnes, macrolide antibiotics, metronidazlole and its derivatives and analogs, dicarboxylic acids, such as azelaic acid, slicylates, peptide antibiotics, cyclosporines and any combination thereof at a therapeutically effective concentration. Another group of antibacterial agents which is non-specific, comprises strong oxidants and free radical liberating compounds, such as hydrogen peroxide, bleaching agents (e.g., sodium, calcium or magnesium hypochloride and the like) iodine, chlorohexidine and benzoyl peroxide.
  • Antibacterial compositions according to the present invention may be used to treat infections of the skin. An example of a very common skin infection is acne, which involve infestation of the sebaceous gland with p. acnes, as well staphylococus aurus and pseudomonas. Various antibacterial agents have been utilized to treat acne, however, their efficacy is limited due to their low penetration into the hydrophobic environment of the skin layers and sebaceous glands. The composition of the present invention, comprising a hydrophobic component, would facilitate an enhanced rate of penetration. Furthermore, the intrinsic antibacterial and antiinflammatory effects of the foam adjuvant agents, i.e., fatty alcohols and acids, provides a combined effect that should result in a better therapeutic response to treatment.
  • The composition of the present invention is particularly useful and beneficial in the prevention and treatment of secondary infections, accompanying skin-structure damage, such as in cuts, wounds, burns and ulcers. In all such cases, the present formulation is easy to use, being in foam state when applied and becoming liquid instantly upon rubbing onto the skin.
  • While being useful in the prevention and treatment of infections, the antibacterial foam of the present invention is also applicable for decontaminating areas, afflicted with bacterial warfare organisms, such as anthrax and smallpox.
  • The same advantage is expected when the composition of the present invention is topically applied to mucosal membranes, the oral cavity, the vagina and the rectum.
  • Anti-Fungal Agents
  • Fungal infections are another object of treatment using the composition of the present invention. Superficial fungal infection of the skin is one of the commonest skin diseases seen in general practice. Dermatophytosis is probably the most common superficial fungal infection of the skin. It is caused by a group of fungi, which are capable of metabolizing the keratin of human epidermis, nails or hair. There are 3 genera of dermatophytes causing dermatophytosis, i.e, microsporum, trichophyton and epidermophyton.
  • Candidiasis is an infection caused by the yeast like fungus candida albicans or occasionally other species of candida. Clinical syndromes of candidiasis include: (a) oral candidiasis (oral thrush); (b) candidiasis of the skin and genital mucous membrane; and (c) candida paronychia, which inflicts the nail.
  • The pharmaceutical composition may comprise an antifungal drug, which is active against dermatophytes and candida, selected from the group of, but not limited to azoles, diazoles, triazoles, miconazole, fluconazole, ketoconazole, clotrimazole, itraconazole griseofulvin, ciclopirox, amorolfine, terbinafine, Amphotericin B, potassium iodide, flucytosine (5FC) and any combination thereof at a therapeutically effective concentration.
  • It is useful, for example for the treatment of tinea corporis, tinea pedis, tinea rubrum, tinea unguium, tinea cruris, tinea barbae and tinea versicolor, as well as yeast Infections, such as candidiasis, and candidal vaginitis
  • Anti-Viral Agents
  • The composition of the present invention is particularly beneficial in the case of viral infections. Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex Type 1 virus and are sometimes referred to as facial herpes. Mollusca are small viral growths that appear singly or in groups on the face, trunk, lower abdomen, pelvis, inner thighs, or penis. Shingles (herpes zoster), which usually only occurs once in a lifetime, appears as a rash (clusters of blisters with a red base). It is caused by the same virus responsible for chickenpox. Warts are a common, benign skin tumor caused by viral infection.
  • Viral infections are currently treated with various antiviral agents, as summarized in the following table:
  • Chemical

  • Any of the above antiviral drugs, in a therapeutically effective concentration, can be incorporated in the foam composition of the present invention. The composition of the present invention, which comprises a hydrophobic solvent, would facilitate an enhanced rate of penetration and better topical distribution of any of the above listed antiviral drugs. Furthermore, the intrinsic antiviral effects of the foam adjuvant agents, i.e., fatty alcohols and acids, provides a combined effect that should result in a better therapeutic response to treatment.
  • Antiinflammatory or Antiallergic Agents
  • Yet, according to another embodiment according to the present invention the drug is an antiinflammatory or antiallergic agent. Antiinflammatory or antiallergic agent can be selected from the group of corticosteroids, non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), anti-histamines, immunosuppressants and any combination thereof at a therapeutically effective concentration.
  • The following table provides a summary of currently available corticosteroid agent and their typical therapeutically effective concentration.
  • Potency Compound Formulation

  • The concentrations of corticosteroid drugs, as presented in the above table are provided herein only as example, and any therapeutically effective concentration of such corticosteroids can be incorporated in the composition of the present invention.
  • Since all corticosteroid drugs are typically hydrophobic, the carrier of the present invention, comprising a hydrophobic solvent, is most suitable as a vehicle to facilitate better topical distribution and an enhanced rate of penetration of any of the above listed drugs. Furthermore, the intrinsic antiviral, antibacterial and antiinflammatory effects of the foam adjuvant agents, i.e., fatty alcohols and acids, provides a combined effect that should result in a better therapeutic response to treatment.
  • Psoriasis is a very common chronic skin disease, which may be the target of treatment using the composition of the present invention. It is marked by periodic flare-ups of sharply defined red patches covered by a silvery, flaky surface.
  • Corticosteroid ointments, greasy preparations containing little or no water, are commonly used for treating psoriasis. Their main disadvantage is in their sticky feeling, which remains so long after treatment is over. By contrast, the foam of the present invention, while comprising considerable concentration of an oil (hydrophobic solvent), spreads very easily throughout the afflicted area and absorbs into the skin without leaving any untoward sensation or look. Examples of other inflammatory disorders, which can be treated by the composition of the present invention, wherein the drug is a steroid are atopic dermatitis, seborrhea, seborrheic dermatitis of the face and trunk, seborrheic blepharitis, contact dermatitis, stasis dermatitis (gravitational eczema; varicose eczema), exfoliative dermatitis (erythroderma), lichen simplex chronicus, pityriasis rosea and pemphigus.
  • Topical antihistaminic preparations currently available include 1% and 2% diphenhydramine (Benadryl® and Caladryl®), 5% doxepin (Zonalon®) cream, phrilamine maleate, chlorpheniramine and tripelennamine, phenothiazines, promethazine hydrochloride (Phenergan®) and dimethindene maleate. These drugs, as well as additional antihistamins can also be incorporated in the composition of the present invention.
  • It is pointed out that polyunsaturated fatty acids, containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., linoleic and linolenic acid, gamma-linoleic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are beneficial in the treatment of psoriasis and other skin inflammation conditions.
  • A second class of anti-inflammatory agents, which is useful in the foam of the present invention, includes the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs). The variety of compounds encompassed by this group is well-known to those skilled in the art.

  • Penetration Enhancers
  • A penetration enhancer or permeation enhancer is an agent used to increase the permeability of the skin to a pharmacologically active agent to increase the rate at which the drug diffuses through the skin and enters the tissues and bloodstream. A chemical skin penetration enhancer increases skin permeability by reversibly altering the physiochemical nature of the stratum corneum to reduce its diffusional resistance. In a review of the technical and patent literature up to 1996, numerous chemical compounds were cited as skin penetration enhancers. Most of the compounds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) ingredients that would often be considered inert by a formulator (Osborne D W, Henke J J, Pharmaceutical Technology, November 1997, pp 58-86.)
  • Examples of penetration enhancers, according to the present invention include: polyols, such as propylene glycol, hexylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol n-alkanols, terpenes, di-terpenes, tri-terpenes, terpen-ols, limonene, terpene-ol, 1-menthol, dioxolane, ethylene glycol, other glycols, and glycerol; sulfoxides, such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylformanide, methyl dodecyl sulfoxide, dimethylacetamide; monooleate of ethoxylated glycerides (with 8 to 10 ethylene oxide units); Azone (1-dodecylazacycloheptan-2-one), 2-(n-nonyl)-1,3-dioxolane; esters, such as isopropyl myristate/palmitate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl proprionate, capric/caprylic triglycerides, octylmyristate, dodecyl-myristate; myristyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, lauric acid, lauryl lactate ketones; amides, such as acetamide oleates such as triolein; various surfactants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate; various alkanoic acids such as caprylic acid; lactam compounds, such as azone; alkanols, such as oleyl alcohol; dialkylamino acetates, and admixtures thereof.
  • Lower alcohols, such as ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, iso-butanol, t-butanol and pentanol are not considered appropriate penentartion enhancers according to the present invention, due to their skin drying and irritation properties.
  • Yet, another preferred class of penetration enhancers in the cyclodextrines and related compounds. Cyclodextrins are structurally related cyclic oligomaltoses which form a new group of pharmaceutical excipients. These are torus-shaped molecules with a hydrophilic outer surface and a lipophilic central cavity. Cyclodextrins are capable of forming water-soluble inclusion complexes with a wide variety of lipophilic water-insoluble drugs by taking up a whole drug molecule, or some part of it, into the cavity. The cyclodextrin molecules are relatively large (molecular weight ranging from almost 1000 to over 1500), with a hydrated outer surface, and under normal conditions, cyclodextrin molecules will only permeate the skin barrier with considerable difficulty. It is generally believed that the cyclodextrin molecules act as true carriers by keeping lipophilic drug molecules in solution and deliver them to the skin surface where they partition from the cyclodextrin cavity into the skin.
  • Further Technical Parameters
  • The composition of the present invention may be contained in and dispensed from a container capable of withstanding the pressure of the propellant gas and having an appropriate valve/nozzle for dispensing the composition as foam under pressure. A customary liquefied or compressed gas propellant can be added, in the amount of about 5-25% of the total composition. Liquefied propellants are gases that exist as liquids under pressure, including high purity hydrocarbons such as propane, isobutane and n-butane, dimethyl ether and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Compressed gasses are exemplified by air, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
  • A specific embodiment according to the present invention comprises placing the composition of the present invention on a patch, occlusive tape or the skin-contact compartment of a transdermal delivery apparatus and applying such object onto the skin, in order to attain effective superficial treatment or enhanced penetration of the drug into the skin or through the skin.
  • Utilizing such strategy, one can apply drugs, which are currently administered systemically or that require transdermal delivery, in the preferred therapeutic system of the present invention. Examples for such drugs are nicotine, testosterone and other male hormones and male hormone precursors, estrogen and other female hormones and hormone precursors, growth hormone, insulin, caffeine, steroidal and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents and thyroid hormone substitutes.
  • The general process, as typically exemplified in Example 1 may be applied in order to produce the composition of the present invention.
  • The pharmaceutical carrier according to the present invention can also be used to prepare cosmetics for beauty purpose by adding into skin care agents and perfume.
