Definitions
- the present invention is directed to a .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend.obtained by the reaction of allantoin with formaldehyde.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,248,285 describes a series of compounds prepared by condensing allantoin with formaldehyde which exhibits bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal activity. Because of this activity, the compounds are effective as preservatives in cosmetics and other products susceptible to bacterial contamination. However, since cosmetics and most other perishable products are subject to contamination by yeast and mold as well as bacteria, the compounds must be used in combination with other preservatives which are effective against yeast and mold. Such preservatives are typically referred to as antifungal agents.
- the parabens i.e., esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid
- the additional preservative components which provide protection against yeast and mold.
- the combination of parabens with the aforementioned bacteria-combating compounds works well and is widely used in the cosmetic industry, it presents certain heretofore unsolved problems.
- the parabens, as well as a great many other antifungal agents are easily inactivated or deactivated.
- Inactivation of parabens and like compounds may be attributed to several factors including the migration of the compounds from the aqueous phase of an emulsion to the oil phase, the binding of the compounds by commonly used nonionic emulsifiers, and/or the interfering effect of other components in the product sought to be protected. Inactivation is particularly acute in cosmetics since nonionic emulsifiers inactivate antifungal agents and are common ingredients in cosmetic emulsions such as creams and lotions. Thus, cosmetic formulators are often unable to adequately preserve such emulsions against yeast or mold contamination.
- compounds prepared in accordance with the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 3,248,285 are not inactivated by nonionic emulsifiers, do not migrate from the aqueous to the oil phase, and are not deleteriously affected by other ingredients in the various preserved products.
- the compounds heretofore prepared in accordance with the teachings of U.S. Pat. No. 3,248,285 exhibit only bacteriostatic and/or bactericidal activity. They do not exhibit adequate antimicrobial activity against yeast and mold. Parabens or similar compounds are, therefore, still required to adequately protect cosmetic and other perishable products even though they are susceptible to deactivation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a preservative composition containing a .[.single compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend.as the sole active ingredient against bacteria, yeast or mold.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a method for preserving products against contamination by bacteria, mold and yeast.
- .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend. is not only active against bacteria, but is also especially effective against yeast and mold.
- this .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product.Iaddend. it is possible to preserve formulations, especially emulsions, which have previously been vulnerable to contamination by yeast and mold even when protected by conventional antifungal agents.
- the .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product.Iaddend.of the invention can be used as the sole preservative component in perishable product formulations.
- reaction product of the invention .Iaddend.is prepared by condensing allantoin and formaldehyde in precise quantities.
- the reaction may be conducted in the presence of a basic catalyst, such as sodium hydroxide.
- the reactants are mixed in a ratio of one mole of allantoin for every four moles of formaldehyde optionally with the basic catalyst, in an aqueous medium and heated to reflux. A clear, aqueous solution is obtained.
- the .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend.of the invention is water-soluble, it may be readily incorporated into aqueous solutions or the aqueous phase of emulsions. In solid formulations, .[.the compound.]. .Iadd.it .Iaddend.is incorporated in powder form. The amount of the .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend.required to provide adequate protection against microbial contamination will, of course, vary, depending upon the particular product being preserved. Those of skill in the art can easily determine dose levels in particular applications without undue experimentation.
- the .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend.of the invention provides a significant improvement over similar preservative compounds heretofore available. Since it is effective against bacteria, mold and yeast, it can be used as the sole preservative component in many products. This eliminates the need to include antifungal preservatives such as parabens which are susceptible to deactivation in various, common environments.
- the .[.compound.]. .Iadd.reaction product .Iaddend.of the invention is, therefore, a dependable, effective preservative which offers significant advantages over the individual preservatives, as well as preservative combinations, currently recognized and employed by those of skill in the art.
- a 0.5 ml. aliquot of a 24 hour A.O.A.C. yeast broth culture was added to 4.5 ml. of the test solution and mixed well.
- the test solution was then stored at 35° C. in an incubator for 3 days.
- a 0.1 ml. aliquot was aseptically removed from the test solution and placed into a tube containing Sabourand Liquid Medium with Letheen. The inoculated subculture tube was incubated at 35° C. for 2 days and then examined for the presence of growth.
- the growth of a 7-10 day mold slant was washed off with 10 ml. of sterile saline.
- a 0.5 ml. aliquot of the wash suspension was added to 4.5 ml. of the test solution, mixed, incubated and a 0.1 ml. aliquot transferred to Sabourand Liquid Media with Letheen, as described above for yeast.
- the inoculated subculture tube was incubated at 25° C. for 7 days and then examined for the presence of growth.
- test solutions were compared at 0.4% concentration. Under these conditions, both C. albicans and A. niger were killed within 2 days in 0.4% .[.N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-(1,3-dihydroxymethyl-2,5-dioxo-4-imidazolidinyl)-N'-(hydroxymethyl)urea.]. .Iadd.of the reaction product of formaldehyde and allantoin in the proportion of four moles formaldehyde to one mole allantoin.Iaddend..
