Definitions
- the present invention pertains to the field of the formulation of active principles for the purpose of topical pharmaceutical application.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a stable anhydrous pharmaceutical composition comprising a silicone agent and as active principles vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative and a corticosteroid, to the process for preparing it and to its use for the topical treatment of psoriasis and other skin disorders.
- Vitamin D and its derivatives are generally used in dermatology in the treatment of psoriasis since they limit the excessive production of cutaneous cells on the surfaces affected and possess proven advantages for the treatment of this ailment, which is characterized in particular by the presence of thick, squamous and dry lesions.
- vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative with a corticosteroid is not without its problems. This is because vitamin D or some vitamin D derivatives are unstable in an acidic environment (they have maximum stability at pH values of approximately 8) and certain corticosteroids are unstable in a basic environment (they exhibit maximum stability at a pH of approximately 4 to 6) . Consequently it is appropriate to formulate these active principles in anhydrous compositions.
- the anhydrous compositions presently available on the market which allow the formulation of water-sensitive active principles while ensuring their effective chemical stability are generally ointment compositions.
- compositions are composed principally of petroleum jelly, mineral oil and/or vegetable oil. Some of the compositions comprising petroleum jelly, however, are felt after application to be sticky and greasy, and in addition are shiny. The greasy residue left on the skin prevents the patient afflicted by psoriasis from putting on his or her clothes again after treatment without the risk of leaving greasy marks thereon, which does not necessarily encourage the patient to follow his or her treatment.
- Non-compliance with the prescribed treatment is one of the main causes of failure; the article "Pa tients wi th psoriasis and their compliance with medica tion , Richards et al . , J. Am . Acad. Dermatol . , Oct.
- One of the aims of the present invention is to provide an anhydrous pharmaceutical composition intended for topical application that allows the abovementioned drawbacks to be removed.

- the present invention accordingly provides an anhydrous pharmaceutical composition intended for the treatment of psoriasis, characterized in that it comprises a silicone agent comprising at least one organopolysiloxane elastomer and, as active principles, a compound A selected from vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative and a compound B selected from a corticosteroid, the said compounds A and B each being in a solubilized form in the said composition.
- solubilized form is meant a dispersion in the molecular state in a liquid, no crystallization of the active being visible to the naked eye or even under an optical microscope with crossed polarization.
- the composition of the invention is intended more particularly for topical application.
- the active principles are in the solubilized state, thereby giving the compositions of the invention effective properties of release/skin penetration of each of the said active principles, in conjunction with more advantageous kinetics.
- effective release/penetration capacity refers to the effective distribution of the composition of the invention and hence of the active principles it comprises across the stratum corneum of the skin and also across the subcutaneous layers such as the epidermis and the dermis .

- Experimental conditions The percutaneous absorption is evaluated by means of diffusion cells consisting of 2 compartments separated by human skin. The formulations were applied without occlusion for an application time of 16 hours. The formulations were applied at a rate of 10 mg of formulation per cm 2 (i.e. 10 micrograms of clobetasol 17-propionate) . Throughout the study, the dermis is in contact with a receiving liquid which is not renewed as a function of time (static mode) . The experiments were conducted with 3 samples of skin originating from 3 different donors.
- the surface excess is removed and the distribution of the clobetasol 17-propionate is quantified in the different compartments of the skin and in the receiving liquid.
- concentrations of clobetasol 17-propionate were quantified using a HPLC/MS/MS method which is conventionally known to the skilled person. (LQ: 1 ng.ml -1 ) .
- the results are expressed as a % of the applied dose (mean +/- standard deviation) and are set out in the table below.
