Definitions
- compositions that can be used to inactivate enveloped viruses, such as Coronaviruses, for example, COVID-19 and Herpes viruses, for example, Herpes Simplex Virus and Epstein Barr Virus.
- enveloped viruses such as Coronaviruses, for example, COVID-19
- Herpes viruses for example, Herpes Simplex Virus and Epstein Barr Virus.
- compositions that can deliver a sunscreen formulation in a safe and effective manner.
- viruses contain an envelope, which is derived from a cell that the virus infects when it buds from that cell as a mature virion. These mature virions recognize some components on a cell membrane, which allows the mature virions to attach to the cell, after which the genetic material of the mature virion is injected into the cell.
- FIG. 1 shows an example of this event.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing how a coronavirus, specifically, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, attaches to a cell membrane.
- SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus recognizes Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) in the cell membrane and binds to the cell membrane.
- ACE-2 lowers blood pressure by catalyzing the hydrolysis of angiotensin II (a vasoconstrictor peptide) into angiotensin (1-7) (a vasodilator).
- ACE-2 counters the activity of the related angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by reducing the amount of angiotensin-II and increasing Ang (1-7). While subsequent events have not been clearly delineated, this initial binding is essential for infecting the cell.
- Herpes viruses also use such a mechanism, but the initial interaction involves heparin sulfate as illustrated in FIG. 2 .
- Herpes viruses are typically found on the surface of the skin, such as with genital herpes, oral herpes, and shingles.
- Sunscreen formulations are designed to protect skin from light energy. Light energy arrives to earth in the form of photons some of which can be seen, for example, the visible colors, and some which cannot, for example, UV radiation and X-rays. Although the visible rays can do some damage to the skin, the major concerns from the perspective of sunburn are the UV rays. The UV rays are further subdivided into UVC from 200 nm-290 nm, UVB from 290 nm-320 nm, UVA2 from 320-340 and UVA1 from 340 nm-400 nm. About 95% of the UV rays reaching earth are UVA and 5% are UVB.
- the UV rays can penetrate the upper epidermal layer and enter the dermis where the energy of the photons needs to be dissipated.
- the effects of these energetic rays of light on the skin lead to several biological consequences.
- the UV energy can be used to form covalent bonds in the form of pyrimidine dimers in the DNA. Since these DNA aberrations would cause mutations during replication, the cells have repair mechanisms to eliminate these dimers before they can cause any damage.
- these rays can be absorbed by the endogenous chromophores inside the cells with the subsequent production of photoexcited states and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This of itself is not an issue since there are systems in place to handle ROS because these molecules are normal by-products of cellular metabolism.
- ROS reactive oxygen species
- UVA-blocking molecules presently available in the United States: avobenzone, a chemical filter; and zinc oxide, a physical blocker. That there are just these two is a testament to the more recent understanding that UVA causes trouble, not just tans. There is a need for better sunscreen formulations.
- antioxidants have been used to supply a second line of protection when the skin's natural antioxidant defenses are overloaded.
- Some antioxidant ingredients include tocopheral acetate (Vitamin E), sodium ascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C), and the photostabilizer DESM (also known as di-2,2′-diethylhexyl-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-benzylidenemalonate, or diethylhexyl syringylidene malonate (INCI).
- Sunscreen researchers are beginning to investigate if the absorption of other colors of light, like infrared, by skin molecules, has a role to play in photodamage.
- Sprays, oils, lotions, creams, gels, butters, pastes, ointments, and sticks are considered GRASE. More information is needed on the safety of powders. Wipes, towelettes, body washes, shampoos, and other forms will be categorized as new drugs, as the FDA has not received data showing their eligibility yet.
- the new rules would raise the maximum SPF (sun protection factor) value on labels from 50 plus, to 60 plus.
- the FDA may propose to permit products with SPF up to 80, to give manufacturers flexibility. Products with an SPF of 15 or higher must also provide broad-spectrum protection. As SPF increases, the protection against UVA rays must also increase.
- Active ingredients must be on the front of the product, to bring sunscreens in line with other over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. There should also be a notification on the front label to read the skin cancer and skin aging alert for products that have not been shown to help prevent skin cancers.
- OTC over-the-counter
- Topical formulations containing three unique classes of ingredients have emerged in the scientific literature to reduce the burden of sun-induced formation of ROS within skin, including: Sunscreens; Quenchers of photoexcited states (QPES); and Antioxidants (AOX). Nonetheless, there is a need for a better sunscreen formulation.
- compositions for example, anti-viral compositions, therapeutic compositions, sunscreen compositions, skin treatment compositions, anti-aging compositions, and methods of making the same are provided by the present invention.
- MFG milk fat globules
- the unique nature of the milk fat globules (MFG) provides for an intact and organized mammalian membrane containing proteins, glycoproteins, and carbohydrates found in mammary cell membranes. MFG obtain their membranes from mammary cells, and thus contain components associated with the initial interaction between a viral coat and a cell membrane. Thus, the interaction between a virus and MFG can lead to injection of the genetic material into the MFG, with or without the use or inclusion of other anti-viral agents, rendering the virus particle non-infectious.
- MFG are used to serve as surrogate cells to interact with enveloped viruses, such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, and Herpes viruses, rendering such viruses non-infectious.
- FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the membrane of a milk fat globule and shows the interaction of ACE-2 with Angiotensin.
- Angiotensinogen Aogen
- Aogen angiotensinogen
- active angiotensins (1-12).
- the presence of ACE-2 enables an interaction between the MFG and the coronavirus causing inactivation of the virus.
- each composition includes MFG and one or more agents encapsulated by the MFG.
- MFG derived from mammals are used to deliver pharmaceutical materials orally into an animal body in such a manner that the pharmaceutical materials bypass the venous blood and enter directly into the animal's lymphatic system. This structure allows the molecules to deliver materials orally that could not heretofore be delivered efficiently. While there are plenty of synthetic liposomes and micelles, these do not contain the organizational structure of an MFG.

- milk and milk products can be used as a source of fat globules.
- Milk is an emulsion comprising fat particles (globules) dispersed in an aqueous (watery) environment.
- the fat globules do not coalesce and form a separate layer (oil off or churn) because they are protected by a membrane layer that keeps the fat particles separated from the water phase.
- the principal group of milk proteins, the caseins are not soluble in water and exist in milk as smaller particles ( ⁇ 300 nm) called micelles.
- milk is defined as a dispersion of MFG (fat particles) and casein micelles (protein particles) dispersed in a continuous phase of water, sugar (lactose), whey proteins, and minerals.
- MFG fat particles
- casein micelles protein particles
- Milk Plasma is defined herein as what is left after fat globules are separated out of milk; which is equivalent to skim milk for practical purposes.
- Milk Serum is defined herein as what is left after both fat globules and casein micelles are taken away from milk; which is equivalent to cheese whey for most practical purposes.
- Milk permeate is defined herein as what is left after fat globules, casein micelles, and whey proteins are taken away from milk.
- the fat emulsion layer containing the MFG can be used according to embodiments of the present invention.
- Different structures are formed by the diverse nature of the MFG. Molecules of interest can be added to these diverse structures.
- the MFG can be used as such or can first be made more uniform by homogenization. Molecules of interest can be added, with or without homogenization of the MFG. Molecules of interest can be added, with homogenization of the MFG, before, during, or after homogenization.
- MFG uniqueness of MFG enables them to deposit their fatty contents into an enterocyte in the small intestine. Once inside the fat coalesces and is extruded as a chylomicron migrating from the enterocyte into the lymph. It bypasses the portal vein and hence avoids the liver by being deposited into the arterial system.
- MFG are used as an anti-viral agent for enveloped viruses.
- Many viruses contain an envelope, which is derived from the cell that the virus infects, when the virus buds from the cell as a mature virion. These mature virions recognize some components of a cell to allow attachment before the genetic material is injected into the cell.
- COVID-19 uses the ACE-2 protein in the membrane to initiate a binding event. After the initial binding event, the viral genetic material is deposited inside the cell where it begins its replication process.
- MFG also contain the ACE-2 protein from the mammary cells from which the globules were created.
- MFG When MFG are present and one contacts an enveloped free virus, such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, the virus can bind to the milk fat globule. MFG are effectively fat molecules with no genetic material. Thus, when a virus binds with a milk fat globule, the virus releases its RNA into the milk fat globule rendering the virus non-infectious. While such interactions do not amount to a cure for the virus, they do reduce the infectivity of people who have the virus. One reason is because droplets expelled from the mouth of the infected person no longer contain infectious COVID-19. Another reason why such interactions reduce the infectivity of people who have the virus is because, if ingested, the virus is tied up in a digestion pathway and with no way to replicate.
- a person infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus can be treated with MFG, for example, generated according to the methods described herein.
- the MFG contact the free form of the enveloped COVID-19 coronavirus, and the COVID-19 coronavirus binds to the milk fat globule.
- the COVID-19 coronavirus binds with the milk fat globule, the COVID-19 coronavirus releases its RNA into the MFG milk fat globule, rendering the COVID-19 coronavirus non-infectious.
- Herpes simplex virus type-1 HSV-1
- Herpes simplex virus type-2 HSV-2
- Herpes Zoster virus HZV
- the process of infection begins when the virions bind with heparan sulfate moieties present on host cell surfaces. This initial attachment then triggers a cascade of molecular interactions involving multiple viral and host cell proteins and receptors, leading to penetration of the viral nucleocapsid and tegument proteins into the cytoplasm. The nucleocapsid is then transported to the nuclear membrane and the viral DNA is released for replication in the nucleus.
- HSV entry or penetration into cells may be a highly complex process and the mechanism of entry may demonstrate unique cell-type specificities. While specificities clearly exist, some past and ongoing studies also demonstrate that HSV may share certain common receptors and pathways also used by many other human viruses.
- MFG that obtain their membrane from mammary cells, are used to treat HSV-1, HSV-2, HZV, and the like.
- the MFG contain the components associated with the initial interaction between the viral coat and the cell membrane.
- the cell surface proteoglycans on normal mammary epithelial cells consists of an ectodomain bearing heparan and chondroitin sulfate chains and a lipophilic domain that is presumed to be intercalated into the plasma membrane.
- the interaction between a virus and the MFG leads to injection of the virus' genetic material into the milk fat globule, rendering the virus particle noninfectious.

A consequence of these mutagenic events may be manifested in basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanomas.
- ROS Reactive Oxygen Species
- UVA radiation Exposure of human skin to solar UVA radiation induces the formation of photoexcited states (S*) of endogenous skin chromophores (S).
- S* photoexcited states
- Energy transfer from S* to molecular oxygen induces the formation of photoexcited oxygen ( 1 O 2 ), being both a ROS and a photoexcited state species.
- UV screens only partly absorb solar broad-spectrum UVA radiation.
- Antioxidants are the direct molecular antagonists of ROS. There is a need to quench the photoexcited state. Quenchers of the photoexcited state (QPES), are used for this purpose. QPES are the molecular antagonists of skin photoexcited states acting upstream of antioxidant intervention.
- a topical ointment is provided for a sunscreen, which provides chemicals that can reduce the ramifications of potentially dangerous UV rays.
- FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration showing the abilities of sunscreens, quenchers of photoexcited states (QPES), and antioxidants (AOX), to suppress formation of or scavenge of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human skin.
- FIG. 5 schematically illustrates the complimentary action of sunscreens, quenchers of photoexcited states (QPES), and antioxidants (AOX).
- Sunscreens attenuate UV before it can interact with endogenous chromophores of the skin, while QPES relax photoexcited states before they can sensitize ROS formation, and AOX neutralize ROS if formed.
- the action of all three ingredients functions to decrease the extra burden of ROS formed within skin during exposure to solar radiation.
- a striking feature that can be discerned from FIG. 5 is how well these three ingredients is appear to complement one another to suppress formation or scavenge of ROS within skin.
- Sunscreens filter the sun's UV radiation at the skin's surface to attenuate levels of UVR that can reach and interact with endogenous chromophores in the underlying skin, whereas QPES and AOX each work within skin below the protective sunscreen film.
- QPES function upstream of ROS formation by relaxing photoexcited states via electron transfer or energy transfer pathways before they can sensitize the formation of ROS.
- Antioxidants on the other hand, scavenge ROS once formed before they can initiate damaging radical interactions with skin.
- a sunscreen is provided that limits the number of UV rays passing through the skin and also, for UV rays that have passed through the epidermis, provides a means to dissipate the absorbed energy.
- Avobenzone is a dibenzoylmethane derivative which in the ground state is a mixture of the enol and keto forms. This enol form, which is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen-bonding, absorbs ultraviolet light over a range of wavelengths allowing its use in “broad spectrum” sunscreens. Avobenzone has an absorption maximum of 357 nm.
- Homosalate is an organic compound used in 45% of U.S. sunscreens as a chemical UV filter.
- the salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays from 295 nm to 315 nm, thus protecting the skin from sun damage.
- Octyl salicylate or 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics to absorb UVB (ultraviolet) rays from the sun.
- the salicylate portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet light.
- the ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties.
- Octocrylene is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. It's a clear, colorless, viscous, oily liquid. The molecule absorbs both UVB and short-wave UVA (280 to 320 nm), protecting the skin from direct DNA damage. Octocrylene is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties, and can penetrate into the skin. However, it acts as a photosensitizer resulting in an increased production of free radicals under illumination.
- Oxybenzone absorbs light at lower energies than many aromatic molecules. As a sunscreen, it provides broad-spectrum ultraviolet coverage, including UVB and short-wave UVA rays. It is one of the most widely used organic UVA filters in sunscreens today.
- the sunscreen can provide a base that absorbs UV rays thereby filtering the energy reaching the skin.
- the present invention also provides a sunscreen that provides an agent that can neutralize ROS that could be generated by the UV rays that are not absorbed by this sunscreen.
- the present invention provides a method that uses MFG as a base for sunscreen formulations.
- the MFG can be combined with at least 2 components: melanin and an antioxidant, such as full spectrum hemp oil.
- the melanin provides for the absorption of UV rays over a broad spectrum, while the antioxidant reduces the formation of ROS.
- some or all the chemical fat-soluble sunscreen components can be combined with the MFG and formulated as a sunscreen.
- melanin makes it a key component of the human pigmentary system.
- the degree of pigmentation of the human skin, hair and eyes is, to a large extent, determined by the ability of specialized cells to synthesize the brown-black eumelanin and yellow-reddish pheomelanin.
- Eumelanin is commonly accepted to be a heterogeneous macromolecule of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and its 2-carboxylated form 5,6-dihydroxyindole2-carboxylic acid (DHICA).
- DHI 5,6-dihydroxyindole
- DHICA 2-carboxylated form 5,6-dihydroxyindole2-carboxylic acid
- Pheomelanin is derived from the sulphur containing cysteinyldopa (CD), and again is thought to be heterogeneous macromolecule.
- melanin The function of melanin is defined by their physical and chemical properties. These properties, including features such as anti-oxidant and free-radical scavenging behavior, broad band UV and visible absorption and strong non-radiative relaxation of photo-excited electronic states, are defined by the molecular, supramolecular and aggregate-level structure.
- Melanin in the skin and eye acts as a natural sunscreen by absorbing and scattering solar radiation, particularly the energetic UV and short wavelength visible photons, and protects pigmented tissue against adverse photo-reactions.
- a distinct correlation between the resistance of the human skin to UV-induced erythema and sunburn, and constitutive pigmentation of the skin is usually observed.
- Photoacoustic spectroscopy shows that melanin photodynamics is very rapid and the excited energy is efficiently converted into heat.
- Eumelanin represents a unique way to dissipate the absorbed UV rays thus providing superior protection against UV rays of all types. That action combined with the ability of eumelanin to serve as a QPES agent as well as an antioxidant makes this a unique component of the sunscreen.
- antioxidants include: Vitamin E; Vitamin C; Cannabinoids of hemp oil; Glutathione; Vitamin D; Melatonin; Carotenoids; Flavonoids; Uric acid; Selenium; Resveratrol; Curcumin.
- Vitamin E family members tocotrienols and tocopherols
- Vitamin E family members tocotrienols and tocopherols
- Decades of research on tocotrienols have shown they have diverse biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective and skin protection benefits, as well as improved cognition, bone health, longevity and reduction of cholesterol levels in plasma.
- Tocotrienols also modulate several intracellular molecular targets and, most importantly, have been shown to improve lipid profiles, reduce total cholesterol and reduce the volume of white matter lesions in human clinical trials. This review provides a comprehensive update on the little-known therapeutic potentials of tocotrienols, which tocopherols lack in a variety of inflammation-driven diseases.
- These molecules are lipid soluble, and because they are, they work well with the MFG as a carrier and can be delivered either externally or internally using the same basic formulation.
- Retinoids have also been reported to help with age related changes to the skin. Similarly, many of the physiological responses of the skin, such as dermal aging, immune defense, and wound healing, are significantly affected by retinoids. A balance between synthesis and enzymatic degradation of extracellular matrix proteins is required for homeostasis in the dermis. In aging skin, the synthesis of matrix proteins slows. These biochemical changes in the dermis can result in the sagging and wrinkles commonly observed in aged skin. Chronic exposure to sunlight can further exacerbate these biochemical changes in the dermis. In humans, retinyl esters (mostly retinyl palmitate) in chylomicrons may predominate in the blood for 3-6 h following ingestion of a retinol-rich meal.
- Retinoids that have the structures shown in FIG. 6
- retinoids such as those shown in FIG. 6
- in vitro experimenting and/or testing can be carried out to analyze the ability of MFG to inactivate, or render ineffective, an enveloped virus such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, many Herpes viruses, the Epstein Barr virus, and the like.
- MFG can be brought into contact with an enveloped virus to test the efficacy of the MFG in acting as surrogate cells to bind to the virus.
- the virus cannot then bind to a cell of a host organism.
- Successful in-vitro trials can be used to select candidate viruses and milk fat globule structures that can effectively bind together to prevent further replication of the bound virus.
- MFG can come from different sources, for example, raw milk or pasteurized milk, either of which can be homogenized or non-homogenized, MFG is used herein as a representative of those structures.
- Source of MFG :
- a 10-gram mixture aliquot was taken after being prepared from a mixture of: 2 ounces of seven oil blend; 1 ounce of coconut oil; 1 ounce of beeswax; 2 ounces of shea butter; 2 ounces of cocoa butter; and 1 ounce of 4% powder. Then, 10 grams of 10% CBDA/CBD milk fat globule powder was added to the 10-gram mixture aliquot and the 10% CBDA/CBD milk fat globule powder was mixed into the mixture aliquot to form an ointment having a uniform tan appearance. The patient applied the ointment in the morning and continued applying the ointment 3 times that day.

Description
- The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/898,804, filed Jun. 11, 2022, which in-turn claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/011,045, filed Apr. 16, 2020, both of which are incorporated herein in their entireties by reference.
- There is a need for a composition that can be used to inactivate enveloped viruses, such as Coronaviruses, for example, COVID-19 and Herpes viruses, for example, Herpes Simplex Virus and Epstein Barr Virus. There is also a need for a composition that can deliver a sunscreen formulation in a safe and effective manner.
- Many viruses contain an envelope, which is derived from a cell that the virus infects when it buds from that cell as a mature virion. These mature virions recognize some components on a cell membrane, which allows the mature virions to attach to the cell, after which the genetic material of the mature virion is injected into the cell.
FIG. 1 shows an example of this event. -
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration showing how a coronavirus, specifically, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, attaches to a cell membrane. First, like with the COVID-19 coronavirus, the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus recognizes Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) in the cell membrane and binds to the cell membrane. ACE-2 lowers blood pressure by catalyzing the hydrolysis of angiotensin II (a vasoconstrictor peptide) into angiotensin (1-7) (a vasodilator). ACE-2 counters the activity of the related angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) by reducing the amount of angiotensin-II and increasing Ang (1-7). While subsequent events have not been clearly delineated, this initial binding is essential for infecting the cell. - The Herpes viruses also use such a mechanism, but the initial interaction involves heparin sulfate as illustrated in
FIG. 2 . Herpes viruses are typically found on the surface of the skin, such as with genital herpes, oral herpes, and shingles. - Sunscreen formulations are designed to protect skin from light energy. Light energy arrives to earth in the form of photons some of which can be seen, for example, the visible colors, and some which cannot, for example, UV radiation and X-rays. Although the visible rays can do some damage to the skin, the major concerns from the perspective of sunburn are the UV rays. The UV rays are further subdivided into UVC from 200 nm-290 nm, UVB from 290 nm-320 nm, UVA2 from 320-340 and UVA1 from 340 nm-400 nm. About 95% of the UV rays reaching earth are UVA and 5% are UVB. The UV rays can penetrate the upper epidermal layer and enter the dermis where the energy of the photons needs to be dissipated. The effects of these energetic rays of light on the skin lead to several biological consequences. First, the UV energy can be used to form covalent bonds in the form of pyrimidine dimers in the DNA. Since these DNA aberrations would cause mutations during replication, the cells have repair mechanisms to eliminate these dimers before they can cause any damage. Second, these rays can be absorbed by the endogenous chromophores inside the cells with the subsequent production of photoexcited states and the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This of itself is not an issue since there are systems in place to handle ROS because these molecules are normal by-products of cellular metabolism.
- Problems arise, however, when the extent of UV rays reaches a point that exceeds the capacity of the cells in the body to respond to the stress of this radiation. For example, spending long times in the sun without adequate protection for your skin would lead to overburdening the cells capacity to respond to the insult.
- In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration regulates sunscreens as drugs. Because the United States was historically most concerned with protecting against sunburn, 14 molecules that block sunburn-inducing UVB rays are approved for use. There are just two UVA-blocking molecules presently available in the United States: avobenzone, a chemical filter; and zinc oxide, a physical blocker. That there are just these two is a testament to the more recent understanding that UVA causes trouble, not just tans. There is a need for better sunscreen formulations.
- Even the highest sun protection factor (SPF) sunscreens don't block 100 percent of UV rays. The addition of antioxidants has been used to supply a second line of protection when the skin's natural antioxidant defenses are overloaded. Some antioxidant ingredients include tocopheral acetate (Vitamin E), sodium ascorbyl phosphate (Vitamin C), and the photostabilizer DESM (also known as di-2,2′-diethylhexyl-3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxy-benzylidenemalonate, or diethylhexyl syringylidene malonate (INCI). Sunscreen researchers are beginning to investigate if the absorption of other colors of light, like infrared, by skin molecules, has a role to play in photodamage.
- As research continues, one thing known for certain is that protecting DNA from UV damage, for people of every color, is synonymous with preventing skin cancers The Skin Cancer Foundation, the American Cancer Society, and the American Academy of Dermatology all stress that research shows regular use of an SPF 15 or higher sunscreen prevents sunburn and reduces the risk of non-melanoma cancers by 40 percent and melanoma cancers by 50 percent.
- As stated in the WEBMD archives, the FDA has issued a long-awaited plan to update regulations for sunscreen products marketed in the US. An overview of these proposed rules is provided below. The Division of Nonprescription Drug Products in the FDA Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, has stated that the new rules include rules related to: active ingredients first; dosage forms; SPF; labelling; testing; and combination products.
- First, of the 16 currently marketed active ingredients, only two—zinc oxide and titanium dioxide—are safe and readily useful in sunscreens. Two other ingredients—PABA and trolamine salicylate—are not considered safe. PABA and trolamine salicylate ingredients are not currently in the U.S. market. There may be many ingredients for which there are insufficient data to make a positive, “generally regarded as safe and effective” (GRASE), determination.
- Sprays, oils, lotions, creams, gels, butters, pastes, ointments, and sticks are considered GRASE. More information is needed on the safety of powders. Wipes, towelettes, body washes, shampoos, and other forms will be categorized as new drugs, as the FDA has not received data showing their eligibility yet.
- The new rules would raise the maximum SPF (sun protection factor) value on labels from 50 plus, to 60 plus. The FDA may propose to permit products with SPF up to 80, to give manufacturers flexibility. Products with an SPF of 15 or higher must also provide broad-spectrum protection. As SPF increases, the protection against UVA rays must also increase.
- Active ingredients must be on the front of the product, to bring sunscreens in line with other over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. There should also be a notification on the front label to read the skin cancer and skin aging alert for products that have not been shown to help prevent skin cancers. The format for labeling SPF, broad spectrum, and water resistance will be revised.
- The FDA will clarify expectations from the industry for testing and recordkeeping on products.
- Products that combine sunscreen with insect repellents are not GRASE.
- Topical formulations containing three unique classes of ingredients have emerged in the scientific literature to reduce the burden of sun-induced formation of ROS within skin, including: Sunscreens; Quenchers of photoexcited states (QPES); and Antioxidants (AOX). Nonetheless, there is a need for a better sunscreen formulation.
- Compositions, for example, anti-viral compositions, therapeutic compositions, sunscreen compositions, skin treatment compositions, anti-aging compositions, and methods of making the same are provided by the present invention. The unique nature of the milk fat globules (MFG) provides for an intact and organized mammalian membrane containing proteins, glycoproteins, and carbohydrates found in mammary cell membranes. MFG obtain their membranes from mammary cells, and thus contain components associated with the initial interaction between a viral coat and a cell membrane. Thus, the interaction between a virus and MFG can lead to injection of the genetic material into the MFG, with or without the use or inclusion of other anti-viral agents, rendering the virus particle non-infectious. Thus, according to various embodiments of the present invention, MFG are used to serve as surrogate cells to interact with enveloped viruses, such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, and Herpes viruses, rendering such viruses non-infectious.
-
FIG. 3 is a schematic illustration of the membrane of a milk fat globule and shows the interaction of ACE-2 with Angiotensin. First, Angiotensinogen (Aogen) is converted into active angiotensins (1-12). The presence of ACE-2 enables an interaction between the MFG and the coronavirus causing inactivation of the virus. - For therapeutic, sunscreen, skin, and anti-aging compositions according to the present invention, each composition includes MFG and one or more agents encapsulated by the MFG. According to the present invention, MFG derived from mammals are used to deliver pharmaceutical materials orally into an animal body in such a manner that the pharmaceutical materials bypass the venous blood and enter directly into the animal's lymphatic system. This structure allows the molecules to deliver materials orally that could not heretofore be delivered efficiently. While there are plenty of synthetic liposomes and micelles, these do not contain the organizational structure of an MFG.

The methods can include known encapsulating methods. The present invention takes advantage of the uniqueness of MFG to function as a carrier of compounds and materials for a variety of pharmaceutical and other applications. The MFG can be derived from mammals. Formulating lipophilic compounds with the MFG creates a unique delivery system and allows for lipophilic compounds to be delivered by a mechanism that evolved with the development of mammals. These structures are nature's way to deliver fat-soluble materials effectively to the blood stream.
- The present invention also provides a method of forming a soluble form of a compound or composition. The method can comprise mixing together an anti-viral, therapeutic, or other, compound or composition, herein referred to as component (a), with a source of MFG, herein referred to as component (b).

- Various methods of making and processing milk fat globules and water-soluble compounds and compositions comprising the same, and various water-soluble compounds and compositions comprising milk fat globules, all of which can be used in embodiments of the present invention, are taught in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2019/0167740 A1 to Kane et al., which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.
- In various embodiments of the present invention, milk and milk products can be used as a source of fat globules. Milk is an emulsion comprising fat particles (globules) dispersed in an aqueous (watery) environment. The fat globules do not coalesce and form a separate layer (oil off or churn) because they are protected by a membrane layer that keeps the fat particles separated from the water phase. The principal group of milk proteins, the caseins, are not soluble in water and exist in milk as smaller particles (<300 nm) called micelles.
- Herein, milk is defined as a dispersion of MFG (fat particles) and casein micelles (protein particles) dispersed in a continuous phase of water, sugar (lactose), whey proteins, and minerals.
- Milk Plasma is defined herein as what is left after fat globules are separated out of milk; which is equivalent to skim milk for practical purposes.
- Milk Serum is defined herein as what is left after both fat globules and casein micelles are taken away from milk; which is equivalent to cheese whey for most practical purposes.
- Milk permeate is defined herein as what is left after fat globules, casein micelles, and whey proteins are taken away from milk.
- The fat emulsion layer containing the MFG can be used according to embodiments of the present invention. Different structures are formed by the diverse nature of the MFG. Molecules of interest can be added to these diverse structures. The MFG can be used as such or can first be made more uniform by homogenization. Molecules of interest can be added, with or without homogenization of the MFG. Molecules of interest can be added, with homogenization of the MFG, before, during, or after homogenization.
- These uniqueness of MFG enables them to deposit their fatty contents into an enterocyte in the small intestine. Once inside the fat coalesces and is extruded as a chylomicron migrating from the enterocyte into the lymph. It bypasses the portal vein and hence avoids the liver by being deposited into the arterial system.
- According to various embodiments of the present invention, MFG are used as an anti-viral agent for enveloped viruses. Many viruses contain an envelope, which is derived from the cell that the virus infects, when the virus buds from the cell as a mature virion. These mature virions recognize some components of a cell to allow attachment before the genetic material is injected into the cell. For example, COVID-19 uses the ACE-2 protein in the membrane to initiate a binding event. After the initial binding event, the viral genetic material is deposited inside the cell where it begins its replication process. MFG also contain the ACE-2 protein from the mammary cells from which the globules were created. When MFG are present and one contacts an enveloped free virus, such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, the virus can bind to the milk fat globule. MFG are effectively fat molecules with no genetic material. Thus, when a virus binds with a milk fat globule, the virus releases its RNA into the milk fat globule rendering the virus non-infectious. While such interactions do not amount to a cure for the virus, they do reduce the infectivity of people who have the virus. One reason is because droplets expelled from the mouth of the infected person no longer contain infectious COVID-19. Another reason why such interactions reduce the infectivity of people who have the virus is because, if ingested, the virus is tied up in a digestion pathway and with no way to replicate.
- In an example, a person infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus can be treated with MFG, for example, generated according to the methods described herein. The MFG contact the free form of the enveloped COVID-19 coronavirus, and the COVID-19 coronavirus binds to the milk fat globule. When the COVID-19 coronavirus binds with the milk fat globule, the COVID-19 coronavirus releases its RNA into the MFG milk fat globule, rendering the COVID-19 coronavirus non-infectious.
- Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) and Herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2), as well as Herpes Zoster virus (HZV), are highly prevalent human pathogens causing life-long infections. The process of infection begins when the virions bind with heparan sulfate moieties present on host cell surfaces. This initial attachment then triggers a cascade of molecular interactions involving multiple viral and host cell proteins and receptors, leading to penetration of the viral nucleocapsid and tegument proteins into the cytoplasm. The nucleocapsid is then transported to the nuclear membrane and the viral DNA is released for replication in the nucleus. Recent studies have revealed that HSV entry or penetration into cells may be a highly complex process and the mechanism of entry may demonstrate unique cell-type specificities. While specificities clearly exist, some past and ongoing studies also demonstrate that HSV may share certain common receptors and pathways also used by many other human viruses.
- According to the present invention, MFG, that obtain their membrane from mammary cells, are used to treat HSV-1, HSV-2, HZV, and the like. The MFG contain the components associated with the initial interaction between the viral coat and the cell membrane. The cell surface proteoglycans on normal mammary epithelial cells consists of an ectodomain bearing heparan and chondroitin sulfate chains and a lipophilic domain that is presumed to be intercalated into the plasma membrane. The interaction between a virus and the MFG leads to injection of the virus' genetic material into the milk fat globule, rendering the virus particle noninfectious. Such treatment, including, for example, administering dosages of MFG to an infected patient, can be carried out with or without the use of additional anti-viral agents.
- According to various embodiments, a composition such as an anti-viral agent is provided that comprises MFG with or without an encapsulated anti-viral agent, wherein the MFG is from non-homogenized or homogenized milk.

- According to various embodiments, treating a patient with an active COVID-19 infection involves adding the MFG to the mouth where the active virus is found. This is accomplished by gargling a solution containing MFG with or without an anti-viral. For example, the solution can contain 12% non-homogenized MFG and 6% full spectrum hemp oil. One ounce of this solution can be gargled 3× to 4× a day during the active stage of the infection. The material can be swallowed delivering both the inactive virus and the full spectrum hemp oil to the stomach. Alternatively, the patient can spit out the material. In the case of Herpes virus infection, it depends upon the infected area.
- With Herpes zoster, for example, the virus replicates at nerve endings on or near the skin forming blisters, itching and pain. In this case, an ointment can be used to treat the affected areas. A salve containing 2 parts coconut oil, 1 part beeswax, 2 parts shea butter, 2 parts cocoa butter, 1 part of 8% full spectrum hemp oil with CBDA/CBD at about a 1:1 ratio and 0.1 part of vitamins A, D and E is applied to the skin once the ‘red blotches’ emerge 3× a day for 10 days. This prevents the formation of blisters and scabbing as well as the inflammation and itching generally associated with the red blotches.
- For Herpes simplex fever blister on the lips, a lip balm, containing 1 part cocoa butter, 1 part 7 oil blend (almond, argan avocado, coconut, moringa, jojoba, hempseed), 1 part beeswax, 1 part 10% powder and 0.1 part of essential oil drops, is applied to the lips 3× to 4×a day or as needed. For genital Herpes, a patient can use a salve such as the one used for shingles or in the lip balm. Alternatively, MFG with 10% full spectrum oil can be added to a pump spray. Alternatively, the spray can is packaged under pressure similar to that used for saline nasal spray. Inert propellants, such as, CO2 or N2 are preferred but pharmaceutical grade propellants such as isobutane can also be used. The material, either the ointment or the spray, can be applied 3× to 4×a day.
- Treatment of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infections, such as mononucleosis, are similar to treating COVID-19. That is, the oropharyngeal cavity is the source of transmitting the EBV to another person. Therefore, treating the saliva with a protocol similar to COVID-19 would work to inactivate EBV. For example, the solution can contain 12% non-homogenized MFG and 6% full spectrum hemp oil. One ounce of this solution can be gargled 3× to 4×a day during the active stage of the EBV infection which generally last several weeks.
- For sunscreen and anti-aging compositions, one or more of the pharmaceutically acceptable topical carriers described herein can be included in the compositions.
- The absorbed energy from the sun can be used to form covalent bonds between adjacent pyrimidines in the DNA. Generally, the DNA repair systems in the cells monitor the DNA and repair the damage by removing the dimers. However, if these dimers are not repaired prior to replication, they introduce mutations into the DNA and change the cell. A consequence of these mutagenic events may be manifested in basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanomas.
- While the body can eliminate these potentially toxic chemicals, there is a limit to its ability to do so. Thus, substantial biological and biochemical events can occur if the ROS are not eliminated. Random cellular damage and the initiation of specific signaling pathways can create metabolic dysfunction. This is diagrammatically illustrated in
FIG. 4 , taken from Wondrak et al. (2005, J. PHARM. EXPTL THER. 312:482-419). - Exposure of human skin to solar UVA radiation induces the formation of photoexcited states (S*) of endogenous skin chromophores (S). Some photoexcited chromophores act as toxic photosensitizers by direct chemical interaction with cellular target molecules or by interaction with oxygen leading to the formation of ROS. Energy transfer from S* to molecular oxygen induces the formation of photoexcited oxygen (1O2), being both a ROS and a photoexcited state species. Molecular damage inflicted by ROS and S* on cellular targets in skin, leading to mutagenesis and altered signal transduction, contribute ultimately to photocarcinogenesis and photoaging of skin. UV screens only partly absorb solar broad-spectrum UVA radiation. Antioxidants (AOX) are the direct molecular antagonists of ROS. There is a need to quench the photoexcited state. Quenchers of the photoexcited state (QPES), are used for this purpose. QPES are the molecular antagonists of skin photoexcited states acting upstream of antioxidant intervention.
- The ability of cells to quench the photoexcited state represents one way that the potentially harmful UV rays are alleviated. When ROS are generated however, the next line of defense is the antioxidants in the cell. These molecules convert the potentially dangerous oxygen reactive species to normal cellular components thus avoiding any damage that might be caused by these molecules.
- According to various embodiments of the present invention, a topical ointment is provided for a sunscreen, which provides chemicals that can reduce the ramifications of potentially dangerous UV rays.
-
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration showing the abilities of sunscreens, quenchers of photoexcited states (QPES), and antioxidants (AOX), to suppress formation of or scavenge of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in human skin.FIG. 5 schematically illustrates the complimentary action of sunscreens, quenchers of photoexcited states (QPES), and antioxidants (AOX). Sunscreens attenuate UV before it can interact with endogenous chromophores of the skin, while QPES relax photoexcited states before they can sensitize ROS formation, and AOX neutralize ROS if formed. The action of all three ingredients functions to decrease the extra burden of ROS formed within skin during exposure to solar radiation. - A striking feature that can be discerned from
FIG. 5 is how well these three ingredients is appear to complement one another to suppress formation or scavenge of ROS within skin. Sunscreens filter the sun's UV radiation at the skin's surface to attenuate levels of UVR that can reach and interact with endogenous chromophores in the underlying skin, whereas QPES and AOX each work within skin below the protective sunscreen film. QPES function upstream of ROS formation by relaxing photoexcited states via electron transfer or energy transfer pathways before they can sensitize the formation of ROS. Antioxidants, on the other hand, scavenge ROS once formed before they can initiate damaging radical interactions with skin. - According to embodiments of the present invention, a sunscreen is provided that limits the number of UV rays passing through the skin and also, for UV rays that have passed through the epidermis, provides a means to dissipate the absorbed energy. The following are exemplary components:
- Avobenzone is a dibenzoylmethane derivative which in the ground state is a mixture of the enol and keto forms. This enol form, which is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen-bonding, absorbs ultraviolet light over a range of wavelengths allowing its use in “broad spectrum” sunscreens. Avobenzone has an absorption maximum of 357 nm.
- Homosalate is an organic compound used in 45% of U.S. sunscreens as a chemical UV filter. The salicylic acid portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet rays from 295 nm to 315 nm, thus protecting the skin from sun damage.
- Octyl salicylate, or 2-ethylhexyl salicylate, is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics to absorb UVB (ultraviolet) rays from the sun. The salicylate portion of the molecule absorbs ultraviolet light. The ethylhexanol portion is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties.
- Octocrylene is an organic compound used as an ingredient in sunscreens and cosmetics. It's a clear, colorless, viscous, oily liquid. The molecule absorbs both UVB and short-wave UVA (280 to 320 nm), protecting the skin from direct DNA damage. Octocrylene is a fatty alcohol, adding emollient and oil-like (water resistant) properties, and can penetrate into the skin. However, it acts as a photosensitizer resulting in an increased production of free radicals under illumination.
- Oxybenzone absorbs light at lower energies than many aromatic molecules. As a sunscreen, it provides broad-spectrum ultraviolet coverage, including UVB and short-wave UVA rays. It is one of the most widely used organic UVA filters in sunscreens today.
- The sunscreen can provide a base that absorbs UV rays thereby filtering the energy reaching the skin. The present invention also provides a sunscreen that provides an agent that can neutralize ROS that could be generated by the UV rays that are not absorbed by this sunscreen. The present invention provides a method that uses MFG as a base for sunscreen formulations. The MFG can be combined with at least 2 components: melanin and an antioxidant, such as full spectrum hemp oil. The melanin provides for the absorption of UV rays over a broad spectrum, while the antioxidant reduces the formation of ROS. In another embodiment, some or all the chemical fat-soluble sunscreen components can be combined with the MFG and formulated as a sunscreen.
- The physical and chemical nature of melanin makes it a key component of the human pigmentary system. The degree of pigmentation of the human skin, hair and eyes is, to a large extent, determined by the ability of specialized cells to synthesize the brown-black eumelanin and yellow-reddish pheomelanin. Eumelanin is commonly accepted to be a heterogeneous macromolecule of 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) and its 2-carboxylated form 5,6-dihydroxyindole2-carboxylic acid (DHICA). Pheomelanin is derived from the sulphur containing cysteinyldopa (CD), and again is thought to be heterogeneous macromolecule.
- The function of melanin is defined by their physical and chemical properties. These properties, including features such as anti-oxidant and free-radical scavenging behavior, broad band UV and visible absorption and strong non-radiative relaxation of photo-excited electronic states, are defined by the molecular, supramolecular and aggregate-level structure.
- The remarkable ability of both eumelanin and pheomelanin to absorb photons from the ultraviolet and visible parts of the solar spectrum, may explain, in part, the photochemistry of this pigment. Due to very fast photodynamics of eumelanin in particular, which is responsible for almost complete conversion of the energy of the absorbed photons into heat, very few excited melanin molecules have a chance to participate in photochemical reactions.
- Melanin in the skin and eye acts as a natural sunscreen by absorbing and scattering solar radiation, particularly the energetic UV and short wavelength visible photons, and protects pigmented tissue against adverse photo-reactions. A distinct correlation between the resistance of the human skin to UV-induced erythema and sunburn, and constitutive pigmentation of the skin is usually observed.
- The ability of melanin to quench excited states of photosensitizing dye molecules and singlet oxygen, and scavenge reactive radicals is an important factor in protective action of melanin against oxidative damage that in pigmented tissues could be induced by photochemical or chemical processes. The mechanism of quenching of excited states of positively charged porphyrin dye molecules bound to melanin was recently determined by femto-second absorption and pico-second emission spectroscopies. It has been concluded that such an ionic binding facilitates an ultrafast energy transfer from the excited porphyrin molecule to melanin. The excited energy is then rapidly converted into heat. Because of its speed, the process involves only singlet excited states; no triplet states are formed and, consequently, no photochemistry occurs.
- Photoacoustic spectroscopy shows that melanin photodynamics is very rapid and the excited energy is efficiently converted into heat.
- Eumelanin represents a unique way to dissipate the absorbed UV rays thus providing superior protection against UV rays of all types. That action combined with the ability of eumelanin to serve as a QPES agent as well as an antioxidant makes this a unique component of the sunscreen.
- While the melanin can dissipate most of the energy from the UV rays, it is possible that some ROS could be generated. Therefore, it makes sense to include some compounds that serve as antioxidants without being photosensitizing agents. Some examples of antioxidants include: Vitamin E; Vitamin C; Cannabinoids of hemp oil; Glutathione; Vitamin D; Melatonin; Carotenoids; Flavonoids; Uric acid; Selenium; Resveratrol; Curcumin.
- There are data suggesting the tocotrienols are safe members of the vitamin E family that have positive biochemical effects. Vitamin E family members, tocotrienols and tocopherols, are widely known for their health benefits. Decades of research on tocotrienols have shown they have diverse biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, neuroprotective and skin protection benefits, as well as improved cognition, bone health, longevity and reduction of cholesterol levels in plasma. Tocotrienols also modulate several intracellular molecular targets and, most importantly, have been shown to improve lipid profiles, reduce total cholesterol and reduce the volume of white matter lesions in human clinical trials. This review provides a comprehensive update on the little-known therapeutic potentials of tocotrienols, which tocopherols lack in a variety of inflammation-driven diseases.
- These molecules are lipid soluble, and because they are, they work well with the MFG as a carrier and can be delivered either externally or internally using the same basic formulation.
- Retinoids have also been reported to help with age related changes to the skin. Similarly, many of the physiological responses of the skin, such as dermal aging, immune defense, and wound healing, are significantly affected by retinoids. A balance between synthesis and enzymatic degradation of extracellular matrix proteins is required for homeostasis in the dermis. In aging skin, the synthesis of matrix proteins slows. These biochemical changes in the dermis can result in the sagging and wrinkles commonly observed in aged skin. Chronic exposure to sunlight can further exacerbate these biochemical changes in the dermis. In humans, retinyl esters (mostly retinyl palmitate) in chylomicrons may predominate in the blood for 3-6 h following ingestion of a retinol-rich meal.
- Retinoids, that have the structures shown in
FIG. 6 , can be formulated with MFG to create a pathway that enables an improved absorption of vitamin A. In various embodiments, retinoids, such as those shown inFIG. 6 , can be formulated with MFG and delivered to the skin of a patient, in a formulation that enables the absorption of these molecules into the skin. - In various embodiments, in vitro experimenting and/or testing can be carried out to analyze the ability of MFG to inactivate, or render ineffective, an enveloped virus such as the COVID-19 coronavirus, many Herpes viruses, the Epstein Barr virus, and the like. In a laboratory, for example, in a petri dish, cell-culture plate, or other laboratory vessel, MFG can be brought into contact with an enveloped virus to test the efficacy of the MFG in acting as surrogate cells to bind to the virus. By binding to a milk fat globule, the virus cannot then bind to a cell of a host organism. Successful in-vitro trials can be used to select candidate viruses and milk fat globule structures that can effectively bind together to prevent further replication of the bound virus.
- While MFG can come from different sources, for example, raw milk or pasteurized milk, either of which can be homogenized or non-homogenized, MFG is used herein as a representative of those structures. Source of MFG:
-

Day 1, A patient noticed a red itchy rash on the right side of his chest and shoulder with a few red blotches on his neck and upper back. There were also 3 small blisters at the base of his neck. He assumed it was shingles, but to be sure, he had a teleconference with a personal physician. The physician confirmed the patient's suspicion and prescribed 21 capsules of valacyclovir, an antiviral compound. - A 10-gram mixture aliquot was taken after being prepared from a mixture of: 2 ounces of seven oil blend; 1 ounce of coconut oil; 1 ounce of beeswax; 2 ounces of shea butter; 2 ounces of cocoa butter; and 1 ounce of 4% powder. Then, 10 grams of 10% CBDA/CBD milk fat globule powder was added to the 10-gram mixture aliquot and the 10% CBDA/CBD milk fat globule powder was mixed into the mixture aliquot to form an ointment having a uniform tan appearance. The patient applied the ointment in the morning and continued applying the ointment 3 times that day. The itching, which was about a 2-3 on a 10-point scale, subsided about 5-10 minutes after applying the ointment, and did not occur again that day. At about 4:00 PM, the patient took his first tablet of valacyclovir and continued taking them every 8 hours for the next 7 days.
- The patient continued applying the ointment in the morning and evening of each day. After a week, the red blotches were slightly less raised and red. There was no pain or itching and no new blisters developed during the week. The original 3 small blisters disappeared with no evidence of bursting or scabbing.
- On day seven, the patient decided not to put the ointment on in the morning. By the evening there was some itching so the patient applied some of the ointment. There were no blisters or scabs, but the patient could still see the red blotches.
- On day eight, the patient put the ointment on in the morning and made a new batch of ointment. On day ten, the red blotches were clearly subsiding. On day 13, the red blotches were fading even more and there still was no scabbing or itching. On day 15, there was little evidence of the red blotches.
- It was concluded that the ointment played a key role in ameliorating the progression of the disease. As a comparative, the patient had two neighbors with shingles, each of which experienced severe scabbing, itching, and pain associated with their shingles, despite taking an antiviral medication. The results of this study are consistent with the conclusion that MFG can play a role in stemming the progression of a disease caused by an enveloped virus.
