Definitions
- the present invention relates to silk tags, markers, or labels that provide holographic images.
- nanopatterning allows the use of silk fibroin as a holographic medium, and the realization of surface relief holograms of high sophistication in a pure protein- based biopolymer that is entirely biocompatible, biodegradable, edible, and implantable.
- Counterfeit goods also raise safety concerns. Injuries from overheating counterfeit cell phone batteries purchased right on Verizon store shelves sparked a 2004 recall by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). Counterfeit trade is bringing a growing number of dangerous products into American homes: from smoke alarms with phony Underwriters Laboratories (UL) marks to bogus pharmaceutical pills stored under uncontrolled conditions and containing the wrong active ingredients. In 2006, over 14,000 shipments of counterfeit merchandise were confiscated. Regarding pharmaceuticals, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 10% to 30% of medicines sold in developing countries may be counterfeit, and some studies conclude that the percentage may be even higher. Moreover, counterfeiting has increased as products are sold over the internet.
- WHO World Health Organization
- samples of drug product obtained by the FDA from two of internet orders contained only talc and starch. According to the authentic drug manufacturer, these two samples displayed a valid lot number and were labeled with an expiration date of April 2007, but the correct expiration date for this lot number was actually March 2005.
- the FDA is working towards an Electronic pedigree (ePedigree) system to track drugs from factory to pharmacy. This technology may prevent the diversion or counterfeiting of drugs by allowing wholesalers and pharmacists to determine the identity and dosage of individual products.
- Some of the proposed anti-counterfeiting measures present concerns regarding privacy, or the possibility that drug manufactures may try to use ant ⁇ - counterfeiting technologies to undermine legitimate parallel trade in medicines.

- Patent No. 6,902,932 have been explored with implications in biomaterials and regenerative medicine (WO2006/042287; U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 11/407,373; PCT/US08/55072).
- the holograph of the present invention may be used in conjunction with any of the above applications.
- the toughness of this natural fiber, unmatched in nature, confers impressive mechanical properties (both tensile and compressive) to silk-based materials which rival, if not exceed, most organic counterparts such as Kevlar or other polymeric materials.
- Silk fibroin can be formed easily into mechanically robust films of thermodynamically-stable beta-sheets, with control of thicknesses from a few nanometers to hundreds of micrometers or more. These films may be formed by casting of purified silk fibroin solution which crystallizes upon exposure to air, humidity or dry nitrogen gas, as some examples, without the need for exogenous crosslinking reactions or post processing crosslinking for stabilization. The resulting hardened silk has mechanical properties, surface quality and transparency which are suited for use as optical substrates. See, e.g., PCT/US07/83600; PCT/US07/83620; PCT/US07/83605.
- Silk fibroin has the ability to be patterned on the nanoscale. This property allows for silk to be used for the realization of sophisticated optical elements and other photonic components that range from waveguides, to optical fibers, ID, 2D and 3D diffractive structures, reflectors, photonic crystals, nanocavities among others. See Lawrence et a!., 9(4) Biomacromol. 1214-20 (2008) (includes color photographs of silk holograms); Parker et al., 21 Adv. Mats. 1 -5 (2009). Patterned nanostructures can be provided on the silk films or other structures manufactured.
- the surface of the substrate may be smooth so as to provide a smooth silk biopolymer film, and a nanopattern may be machined on the surface of the silk film.
- the nanopattern may be machined using a laser, such as a femtosecond laser, nanoimprinting, or by other nanopattern machining techniques, including lithography techniques such as photolithography, electron beam lithography, soft lithography, and the like.
- lithography techniques such as photolithography, electron beam lithography, soft lithography, and the like.
- nanopattern features as small as 700 run that are spaced less than 3 ⁇ m have been demonstrated. See PCT/US07/83620; PCT/US2008/082487. Indeed, nanopatterned features as small as 200 nm or less spaced less than 50 nm have been achieved.
- the very high resolution and conformal feature of surface patterning of silk allows for the fabrication of sophisticated diffraction structures and advanced holograms with more sophisticated security features and graphics, such as kinegrams
- nanopatterning allows the use of silk as a holographic medium and the realization of surface relief holograms and transmission holograms of high sophistication in a pure protein-based biopolymer that is entirely biocompatible, biodegradable, and implantable.
- silk holograms provide for color and interest without the use of chemical dyes.
- silk fibroin films provide the capability of producing a greater variety of colors beyond the few that have regulatory approval—especially "rainbow- like” effects produced by the juxtaposition of multiple colors of gradually varying wavelength.
- holograms in silk allow for a number of applications, including pharmaceutical branding, food labeling, therapeutic printed silk, and novelty items as edible products, including dosage forms in any of a wide variety of shapes and configurations, that have a stable microrelief with stability that can be controlled, and that conveys information such as visual holographic images and effects.
- silk films can also be made to include pharmaceutical components turning the films into ingestible drugs. This is possible based on previous results that have shown that silk is a completely organic, ingestible, non toxic biopolymer in combination with the fact that it is possible to entrain biological compounds in the films while maintaining their viability. See, e.g. , PCT/US07/83620. Further, the silk will degrade due to proteolytic activity in the body. See, e.g., PCT/US09/44117. Release and degradation rates may be controlled by manipulating the beta-sheet structure and layering and/or with the addition of excipients or bioerodable, biocompatible polymers.
- the drug can be surface-patterned easily to contain a hologram that will be available for branding, for example to guarantee the authenticity of the drug point of origin and manufacturing.
- Individualized information on the pharmaceutical can be impressed on any single dose along with the hologram, including the expiration date or the name of patient.
- the dose may also include selective codes or covert identifiers for tracking or security purposes that may lack clear designation, requiring magnification, a change in environmental conditions, or particular light sources for viewing. Aside from tracking and security, such covert markings may be employed in double blind studies or clinical trials.
- the demonstrated capacity of the silk to be patterned with resolution down to less than 30 run and to be able to faithfully replicate features on the micro and nanoscales enables sophisticated security to be incorporated in the pharmaceutical compound with applications that go beyond white light holograms but incorporate technically advanced security devices such as Kinegrams, Pixelgrams, Exelgrams, Fourier Transform structures, or photonic bandgap lattices.
- the holographic pharmaceuticals may be impressed on the surface of the film via the casting of the silk solution on a master surfaces - depending on the pharmaceutical compound embossing might be suitable provided that the pharmaceutical can survive exposure to a few seconds of moderate heat exposure.
- the embossing could be done in situ (on the pill, hard capsule, soft capsule, drug, and the like) depending on the stability of the material, or on thin films first that are then wrapped, coated or stuck onto the pill or capsule post-embossing.
- silk fibroin can be doped with biocompatible piasticizers, such as glycerol, that maintain the optical features while conferring significant flexibility and elasticity to the film or coating.
- biocompatible piasticizers such as glycerol
- This feature provides a simple means to pre-emboss and then wrap or coat onto pills after the embossing process, or provide labels for food products.
- the glycerol is fully biocompatible and edible as well. Levels can vary form 0% to 50% of the silk formulation, depending on the degree of flexibility desired. Levels above 50% can also be used, although the films will be much less mechanically robust. See U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61/104,135.
- plasticizer and the relative portions may be adjusted to control the response of the microrelief over time to humidity.
- Oils and waxes with varying melting points admixed to this layer provide control over the response of the microrelief over time to temperature. Fading or change of color (due to a change in the reconstruction angle) of the visual image or effect produced by the microrelief provides a visual indication of the environmental history of the dosage form and its integrity.
- suitable waxes include paraffin (a low melting point) and carnuba (a high melting point);
- suitable hygroscopic plasticizers include sugars such as dextrose (highly hygroscopic) and propyleneglycol.
- the structural integrity of the label may be "programmed" to change over time such that the label changes in coordination with, for example, either the drugs expiration date or the patient ' s treatment period.
- Food labeling provides a particularly suitable application of the present invention.
- the spinach itself might be labeled with the edible microrelief. Because the label is small and edible, it need not be removed before cooking or consumption.
- Fruits such as apples and tomatoes may bear a label, or may be surrounded by a microrelief-bearing silk film. In that regard, fruit can be dipped or otherwise introduced into silk fibroin solution, then dried by air or gas. Such process might provide both stability to the food product as well authentication regarding origin and whether the food is certified organic,
- Silk labels unlike current paper-based labels, may themselves be certified organic.
- Silk fibroin produced by silkworms such as Bombyx mori, is the most common and represents an earth-friendly, renewable resource.
- Silkworm cocoons are commercially available from silkworms fed on U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Certified Organic mulberry leaves. Additionally, vegetarian or "peace silk", from cocoons from which silk moths emerge, yield silk fibroin suitable for use in the silk holograms of the instant invention.
- the organic silk fibroin may be prepared from organic-fed silkworm cocoons using water- and salts-based techniques disclosed, for example, in U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 11/247,358, WO/2005/012606, and PCT/US07/83605.
- the edible hologram label that identifies a food as certified organic may itself, when organic silk standards are finalized, be certified organic.
- the silk labels may have biosensor capabilities such that they are 'edible optics' that can be used as sensors for E. coli. Salmonella, and other potentially deadly contaminants.
- the sensors thus display a hologram warning or change color when they come into contact with unwanted bacteria.
- Methods for constructing silk biosensor have been discussed, see, e.g. PCT/US07/83620; Lawrence et al., 2008; Parker et al., 2009. Inexpensive silk-based sensors that resemble transparent pieces of thin plastic may be tossed into a bag of produce, or even used to make the produce bags themselves. Films made from optic silks could also be used to coat salad tongs in a restaurant, or even be shredded and sprinkled on top of food.
- Novelty products allow for a number of images both 2-D and 3-D and combinations thereof to be manufactured in silk.
- the non-toxic nature of silk provides an ideal material substrate for the incorporation of high quality holographic images without introducing any toxic component or any chemical processing.
- the holographic silk films can be used as stand alone components or can be used as biocompatible nontoxic coatings that can provide the brilliant graphic designs obtainable with holograms.
- edible toys, games and cards can be made with silk taking advantage of the properties of the material.
- these same films can be doped with colorings (e.g., food color or other biocompatible dyes), flavors, vitamins, nutrients of various sources and related materials.
- the pills can also be encoded based on 'olfactory' signatures. This allows rapid screening via gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy to identify fingerprints against a library or data base for the information on the pharmaceutical,
- Production of the silk fibroin solution begins with the purification of harvested B. mori cocoons. Sericin, a water-soluble glycoprotein which binds fibroin filaments, is removed from the fibroin strands by boiling the cocoons in a 0.02 M aqueous solution OfNa 2 COs for 45 min. Upon completion of this step, the remaining fibroin bundle is rinsed thoroughly in Milli-Q water and allowed to dry overnight.
- the dry fibroin bundle is then dissolved in a 9.3 M aqueous solution of LiBr at 60 0 C for 4 hr.
- the LiBr salt is then extracted from the solution over the course of three days, through a water-based dialysis process.
- the resulting solution is extracted from the dialysis cassette (e.g., Slide-a-Lyzer, Pierce, MWCO 3.5K) and remaining particulates are removed through centrifugation and syringe based micro-filtration (5 ⁇ m pore size, Millipore Inc., Bedford, MA).
- This process enables the production of 8%-10% w/v silk fibroin solution of excellent quality and stability.
- the purification step is important for the generation of high quality optical films with maximized transparency and, consequently, minimized scattering. Films can also be generated from silk solutions at higher or lower percent protein.
- the patterning of silk fibroin films can be achieved, for example, by a modified soft-lithography casting process or through a hot embossing process. See also, Lawrence et al., 2008.
- Removal of the film can be accomplished by loosening at one corner of the master and subsequent levering off using a thin razor blade or scalpel.
- Surfactants can also be used to help in the removal process from the master.
- the silk fibroin can be further cross-linked through exposure to vacuum-induced methanol vapor (100% methanol at 26 mmHg), or water vapor (less than lOmmHg-3 mmHg), for a period of 24 hours to 36 hours. This step is optional, based on the use for the films. Other post processing techniques can be used to confer the desired structural stability to the film.
- the mask In the hot embossing procedure, the mask is slowly heated to temperatures above 120 0 C. This temperature is generally optimized as a function of the particular film that is being used. The temperature is generally a function of parameters such as film thickness, film post-processing and imprint size.
