Description
ENZYMATIC DEBRIDEMENT COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
This invention relates to a novel therapeutic composition and process for debriding eschar tissue and is principally concerned with the timely removal of non-viable burn tissue to promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection to the patient.
There are many instances in patient treatment that necrotic or devitalized tissue must be removed from the patient. These instances include, but are not limited to, decubitus ulcers, pressure sores, incisional, traumatic and peripheral wounds and ulcers secondary to peripheral vascular disease. As a result, a great deal of research has been performed to uncover materials which promote the removal of such tissue and, preferably, materials which are capable of distinguishing between viable and non-viable tissue. Preferably, these materials digest devitalized tissue while not attacking viable tissue. Such agents would make it possible to remove the devitalized tissue without the pain and risk of surgery. The removal of devitalized or contaminated tissue is generally defined as debridement.
One area where there is a considerable need for debridement in patient care is in the treatment of burn patients. Removal of non-viable tissues in burn patients in a timely fashion is important because the risk of infection is a major problem in the treatment of patients who suffer from serious
burn injuries. The burn frequently destroys the skin's normal barrier to bacterial invasion and a large necrotic tissue mass formed by the body from the burn can act as a bacterial substrate thereby providing an environment where bacteria can multiply rapidly. The presence of a bacterial infection in burn tissue can transform a partial thickness burn into a full thickness wound requiring considerably more treatment and care. In addition, the patient's condition can be seriously affected by infection during treatment.
Debridement has become a standard step in the treatment of burn patients. Thus, after
resuscitation of the burn victim occurs, the burned area is thoroughly cleaned and generally debrided of non-viable tissue. Generally, debridement can be accomplished in a variety of ways. These methods include surgical, natural enzymatic, commercially prepared enzymatic and mechanical. Surgical
debridement while the most common form of debridement has attendant problems not the least of which is further pain to the burn patient and frequently heavy bleeding. This can create serious problems in recovery as the patient is already in a weakened condition due to the burn. Natural enzymatic
cleavage of collagen to separate dead tissue while considerably less painful to the patient is an extremely slow process and can be dangerous in large burns where an infection arising before debridement is complete may jeopardize the patients life. The slow debridement of natural enzymes can create treatment problems since the tissues typically debrided in burn treatment are most often the ones which serve as an ideal culture medium for the growth
of infectious micro-organisms. Commercially prepared enzymes work more quickly than natural enzymes but these commercially prepared enzymes have met with only limited success. See Journal of the Maine Medical Association September 1964, and Research in Burns, Han Huber, Publishers Bern Stuttgart Vienna 1971. it has been recognized that the materials disclosed in these publications have not been
considered satisfactory since there has been
difficulty in reproducing the results.
U.S. Patent No. 4,329,430 to Klein discloses hydrolytic enzyme materials that may be useful for dissection of devitalized tissues. The enzyme
material disclosed in Klein is bromelin which may be obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant. U.S. Patent No. 3,409,719 relates to the use of the enzyme bacillus subtilis in a hydrophobic ointment for the debridement of tissue.
Another enzymatic material used for the debridement of tissue is a mixture of exo- and endopeptidase which have been isolated from krill. See U.S. Patents No. 4,946,792. Similarly, U.S.
Patent No. 5,120,656 to O'Leary relates to a process for debriding bone using proteolytic or collagen digesting enzymes. The proteolytic enzymes include ficin, pepsin, trypsin, chymotrypsin, papain and elastase. The collagen digesting enzymes include collagenase and stromelysin. However, these
materials have not received widespread application because of the time necessary to debride the tissue and because these enzymes do not appear to have the same efficacy in non-bone debriding applications.
One reason for this is that the tissue debrided in
burn treatments does not have the same
characteristics as the bone tissue being debrided.
As a result, there is a need for improved compositions for enzymatic debridement of non-viable tissue, particularly burn tissue.
Summary of the Invention
In accordance with the present invention, novel methods and compositions including the enzyme subtilisin A or including the combination of an enzyme such as subtilisin A and one or more
pharmaceutical agents, e.g., antibiotics, are disclosed. Debridement activity of enzymes such as subtilisin A, subtilisin, bromelain and the like is enhanced when combined with one or more antibiotics. The enzymatic formulations according to this
invention are preferably non-aqueous and the
debridement provided by these and other enzyme formulations is enhanced when used under an occlusive dressing.
Brief Description of the Drawings
FIGURE 1 is a bar graph demonstrating the results of tests comparing full thickness burn debridement using the composition of the present invention to a control where there was no treatment.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention provides novel and improved enzymatic debridement formulations which exhibit advantages over the prior art. Although subtilisin formulations based on enzyme obtained from B . subtilis are known for use in the debridement of necrotic tissue (e.g., Travase® from Baxter Travenol as disclosed in U. S. 3,409,719), the use of the enzyme subtilisin A for debridement has not been heretofore disclosed or suggested.
Contrary to previous belief that antibiotics adversely affect enzyme debridement activity, it has also now been found that antibiotics can be combined with debridement enzymes with advantageous results, and in some cases enhanced activity. Finally, enzymatic debridement ointments in general have been found to work much more effectively when covered by an occlusive, preferably hydrocolloid-containing, adhesive-type dressing. In this way enzymatic debridement has now been achieved within 24 to 48 hours as opposed to seven days in the prior art.
For the formulations of this invention which contain subtilisin A, that term as used herein refers to an endoprotease of the serine variety having a molecular weight of about 27,500 Daltons consisting of a single polypeptide chain of approximately 274 amino acid residues as follows:
licheniformis derived subtilisin and is typically derived by fermentation from Bacillus licheniformis, although any other chemical, recombinant or synthetic routes for its preparation could be used. Subtilisin A is commercially available as Enzeco® Licheniformis Protease Concentrate from Enzyme Development
Corporation.
For the formulations of this invention containing a debriding enzyme in combination with one or more antibiotics or for the methods involving a debriding enzyme under an occlusive hydrocolloid dressing, any suitable debriding enzyme can be employed. Suitable debridement enzymes include subtilisin A (under any of the various names
discussed above), subtilisin (from Bacillus
Subtilis), bromelain, including crude bromelain, collagenase, chymotrypsin, ficin, pepsin, elastase, trypsin, papain and stromelysin.
Antibiotics for use in the present invention can be any of those known in the pharmaceutical art. One or more antibiotics can be incorporated into the present formulations either singly or premixed, i.e., as double or triple antibiotics known in the art.
Suitable antibiotics include but are not limited to neomycin, polymixin B sulfate, bacitracin (each singly or as the triple antibiotic neosporin), bacitracin with zinc, silver sulfadiazine,
gramicidin, fucidic acid, povidone iodine and
pseudomonic acid, including mixtures thereof.
A preferred range of subtilisin A or other enzyme is about 20,000 to 120,000. proteolytic casein units (PCU) per gram of ointment. A more preferred
range is 61,500 to 102,500. Alternatively, when viewed as a function of PCU's /cm2 of wound area, the enzyme, e.g., subtilisin A, should be delivered to the wound in an amount above about 150-200 PCU/cm2, preferably above about 350-400 PCU/cm2 and more preferably above about 750 PCU/cm2. Most preferred are formulations which provide between about 3000-6000 PCU/cm2 of wound area, but of course, the strength can be varied as known in the enzymatic debridement art according to the particular
wound/burn needs.
The preferred range of antibiotic, e.g., Neomycin, is about 0 to 10 mg. A more preferred range is 0 to 5 mg. A preferred range of Polymyxin B Sulfate is about 0 to 20,000 units/g. A more
preferred range is 0 to 10,000 units/g. A preferred range of Bacitracin is about 0 to 1,000 units/g. A more preferred range is about 0 to 550 units/g.
Similarly, other antibiotics can be employed at their known therapeutic or subtherapeutic doses as
required.
A preferred combination product in accordance with this invention includes subtilisin or subtilisin A at concentrations comparable to the subtilisin concentration in the commercially available Travase® ointment (i.e., about 8,200 PCU/100 mg of ointment) and also a single, double or triple (e.g., Neosporin) antibiotic at commercially available strengths within a carrier.
The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier must be non-aqueous so as to avoid premature activation of the enzyme which would adversely result in depletion of enzyme activity. Hydrophobic powder formulations and cream or ointment formulations are well known in
the art. For example, lactose powder formulations may be employed wherein powder forms of the enzyme are incorporated into lactose powder. A preferred vehicle is Plastibase® (mineral oil with 5%
polyethylene, E. R. Squibb & Sons) although any known hydrophobic ointment, cream or gel can be employed, such as Aquaphor, Petrolatum or mineral oil.
The enzyme can also be used in formulations such as those commercially available for the cleaning of contact lenses. For example, subtilisin A is commercially available in formulations, e.g., tablets, under the names Ultrazyme® (Allergen) and Re-Nu® (Bausch & Lomb). These enzyme-containing tablets have been found to provide significant debridement of necrotic tissue on animal burns, especially when used under an occlusive dressing.
When enzyme preparations, e.g., Subtilisin A and others, are used in the present method with occlusive dressings, any convenient occlusive
dressings can be employed. Suitable commercially available dressings include but are not limited to Bioclusive (Johnson & Johnson), Opsite (Smith &
Nephew) and DuoDerm® CGF (Convatec). Preferred are hydrocolloid-containing dressings, e.g., the DuoDerm® line products from ConvaTec.
As stated above, a preferred embodiment of this invention comprises an enzyme with one or more antibiotics. Not only is there no adverse affect on the enzyme activity but enzyme activity is actually enhanced in some instances. Further, the presence of antibiotics can preclude the need for irradiative sterilization of the debridement product. This is advantageous since irradiation is believed to
adversely affect enzymatic activity.
The present invention will be further
described by the following examples.
Animal Protocol
For the examples below, the animals were housed communally for at least seven days prior to initiating the experiment. They were fed a basal diet of Purina feed, and water ad-libitum. The animals were kept in a controlled environment
(temperature 19-21°C, 12 hr light/dark cycle, 50% relative humidity).
Guinea pigs were zip wax® depilated four days prior to receiving bilateral scald wounds. When a surgical plane of anesthesia was reached, each animal was immersed in 90°C for 20 seconds. The normal skin surrounding the burn site was protected from scald with a fiberglass embedded latex rubber sheet that also has an 8 × 8" piece of DuoDerm® dressing adhered to one side. A one inch circular hole was cut through the sheeting so that only 10% of the animal's TBSA was exposed to the 90°C water.
A 20 second application produced a 5 cm2 circular, full-thickness thermal scald wound. A total of two, randomized burn sites were produced. Burns were divided into treatment groups according to a randomized schedule.
Following scalding, all wounds were hydrated with 0.1cc of saline before application of the enzymes and the control dressings described more specifically in the examples below. All drrssings were secured with elastic tape and debridement activity assessed at 24 hours. Dressings were removed, and the digested tissue was wiped away using a gauze sponge. A subjective assessment of tissue digested by the enzymes activity in percent of wound
area was reported. The wounds were then
photographed.
At post-op day one, the guinea pigs were reanesthetized in order to perform the first evaluation of the treatments.
Example 1
Subtilisin A Powder Dose Response Study in the Guinea
Pig Scald Model
The objective of the study was to determine the minimum amount of the enzyme, in a powder
formulation, needed to degrade necrotic tissue from a fairly uniform 5 square cm, full-thickness dermal scald wound in a guinea pig model.
Subtilisin A (Novo) was combined with 100 mg USP Lactose at different concentrations expressed as Proteolytic Casein Units (PCU's) ranging from 30,000 PCU's to 900 PCU's per 100 mg powder. 0.2 cc (16,400 PCU's) of Travase Ointment (subtilisin from Bacillus Subtilis) was used as a control. All wounds were dressed with the respective enzyme product (within 1/2 hour of wounding) and low MVTR (Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate) polyurethane film, occlusive dressings to prevent leakage of the exudate/enzyme mix. The wounds were evaluated 24 hours after treatment at which time a visual estimation of percent debridement is made.

Example 2
Subtilisin A Ointment (with and without an antibacterial component) vs Travase Ointment
This example compares the efficacy of Travase® Ointment with an experimental preparations of
Subtilisin A Ointment, one of which contained a
Triple antibiotic component.
82,000 PCU's of Subtilisin A per gram of
Plastibase® 50W (mineral oil/5.0% polyethylene, E. R. Squibb) Ointment were combined to prepare a master batch which served as a control. A volume of this preparation was taken and further combined with the following ingredients:
4.2 mg Neomycin/gram ointment
5,500 units Polymixin B Sulfate/gram ointment 500 units Bacitracin/gram ointment
The resultant formulation essentially
contained the Travase equivalent of subtilisin activity combined with the antibacterial compliment of Neosporin Ointment®.
Comparison was made with Travase Ointment® (Boots Pharm.). Travase Ointment contains 82,000 PCU's Subtilisin per gram of Plastibase® 50W (mineral oil/5.0% polyethylene) ointment. Samples were stored at room temperature for approximately 13 weeks prior to testing.
As described previously, scald wounds were treated with the respective enzymatic ointments, dressed with occlusive dressings and evaluated at 24 hours. A non-treated, occluded group served as control. Hydrocolloid, occlusive dressings (DuoDerm Extra Thin® - ConvaTec) were used in this study.
