Description

220085 Compositions comprising an antimicrobial boosting agent Technical field [0001] The present invention refers to food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations or homecare products comprising or consisting of a synergistic combination of an effective amount of an antimicrobial compound and an effective amount of a certain mycosporine-like amino acid compound. Additionally, the present invention relates to the use of such mycosporine-like amino acid compounds for boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial compound. Finally, the present invention relates to a method for boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial component comprising the admixing of an antimicrobial compound with at least one of said mycosporine-like amino acid compound. Background Art [0002] Food, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals or homecare products provide an optimal medium for microbial contaminants: With proteins, sugar, vitamins, oils and water, they contain everything microorganisms need to grow. In particular, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations with a higher water content and/or great surfaces, such as emulsions or wet-wipes, or formulations with natural ingredients, which are contaminated with bacteria innately, are susceptible against microbial growth. The neutral pH-value and the storage in a warm and humid bathroom contribute to an ideal climate for bacteria and moulds. Via hand and mouth, a lot of microorganisms get into the product. Sometimes the product is already contaminated during the production process, for example from contaminated raw materials. Most of the microorganisms are harmless to the consumer. However, microbial contaminants can cause dangerous infections. In addition, some moulds and bacteria produce toxins which can cause allergic reactions and skin irritations. [0003] In order to minimize the microbial contamination, preservatives are used. Preservatives are essential in the production of food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical 220085 preparations or homecare products, because they kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Without sufficient preservation, this in turn can lead to product spoilage, which in said may manifest as changes in smell, discoloration, mould growth, gas formation, the separation of emulsions or changes in viscosity, rendering the product unacceptable to the consumer. [0004] Preservatives are therefore very important to keep food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare products from spoiling and to inhibit the growth of potentially dangerous microorganisms. [0005] However, not all substances that can be used as a preservative are harmless to the consumer. Parabens for example have a hormonal effect; benzoic acid can cause pseudo allergic reactions. The German Cosmetics Regulation lists all preservatives allowed in cosmetic products. [0006] In addition, products such as sunscreen products with a high oil content are difficult to preserve. Because of their large oil phase, common preservatives are difficult to incorporate. Due to interfacial activity, the preservatives may penetrate into the oil phase and are no longer available in the water phase, where usually microbial contamination takes place. [0007] There are a couple of natural materials that contain substances that are said to have an antimicrobial effect. These include for example propolis, cinnamon bark, clove oil, allspice oil, nutmeg oil, ylang ylang, rose oil and thyme. However, these substances have not been adequately researched for use as a preservative in the cosmetics industry. [0008] At the moment, there are no legally binding limit values for germ contents in cosmetics. According to a recommendation of the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety of the European Commission, cosmetics should contain no more than 100 or 1.000 colony-forming units per gram, depending on the type of product. Certain pathogens such as Staphylococcus or E. coli are not allowed to be detectable at all. 220085 [0009] Thus, in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical or homecare products industry and also in the food industry there is an ongoing need for agents with antimicrobial properties for product protection. [0010] It is true that a multiplicity of antimicrobial active compounds is already used in the technical fields concerned, but alternatives continue to be sought in order to be able to carry out targeted special treatments and/or reduce side effects. However, in this context when searching for alternative agents having an antimicrobial and in particular a preservative action it must be taken into account that the substances used in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and/or food sector must be · toxicologically acceptable; · well tolerated by the skin; · stable (especially in the customary cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical formulations); · substantially and preferably completely odourless; and · able to be prepared inexpensively (i.e., using standard methods and/or starting from standard precursors) and of natural origin or based on green synthesis. [0011] The search for suitable (active) substances that possess one or more of the said properties to an adequate extent is made more difficult for those skilled in the art because there is no clear dependence between the chemical structure of a substance, on the one hand, and its biological activity towards specific microorganisms (germs) and its stability, on the other hand. Furthermore, there is no predictable relationship between the antimicrobial action, toxicological acceptability, tolerance by the skin and the stability of a substance. [0012] Furthermore, the antimicrobial component should have antimicrobial activity characteristics, which fulfil diverse criteria. They should · provide a broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against gram positive and gram- negative bacteria, yeast, mould and fungi; · show a particularly strong activity against Candida and Aspergillus; and 220085 · be active in different cosmetic or pharmaceutical formulations, in particular at different pH values. [0013] The addition of biocides, especially classical preservative agents like formaldehyde donors, according to biocide regulation is increasingly undesired, in particular with regard to natural cosmetics. [0014] Sterilisation of the formulation is less desired due to a possible degradation of ingredients of the formulation on heat treatment and additional process costs involved. [0015] Thus, there is still an ongoing need to develop novel compositions that are microbial safe and microbial stable during shelf life. In particular, there is continued interest in the market to improve both the potential and the range of efficiency of such antimicrobials, either by achieving a higher performance of an antimicrobial with the same amounts, or, vice versa, by achieving the same performance with lower amounts of an antimicrobial, so that the overall content of antimicrobials can be reduced in the ready-for-use formulation. [0016] It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product that exhibits a synergistic action against a multiplicity of bacteria, yeast, mould and fungi, and in which the activity or growth of microorganism is reduced, suppressed or inhibited. [0017] Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention, to provide a substance, by which the antimicrobial efficacy of an antimicrobial component can be boosted. [0018] Finally, it is an object of the present invention, to provide a method of boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial component in food, a cosmetic or a pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product. [0019] The invention is based on the surprising finding that certain mycosporine-like amin acid compounds as defined herein exhibit antimicrobial properties. Additionally, 220085 the concomitantly combined use of at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound as defined herein with well-known antimicrobial compound results in a synergistic antimicrobial efficacy action against a multiplicity of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, mould and fungi. The use of such a combination in food, a cosmetic or pharmaceutic preparation or homecare product in turn results in microbial stable formulations which can be stored. Surprisingly, the synergistic antimicrobial efficacy is directed also against species of the genus Candida, such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus brasiliensis, which both are known to be combated only with great difficulty. Summary of the invention [0020] In order to accomplish the above problem, the present invention provides in a first aspect a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product, comprising or consisting of (a) at least one antimicrobial compound; and (a) at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound, represented either by the general formula (I)

formula (I), as defined herein, or a tautomer or a salt thereof; or represented by the general formula (II) 220085

formula (II) as defined herein, or a tautomer or a salt thereof; or any mixture of the afore-mentioned compounds. [0021] In a second aspect, the present invention provides for the use of at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound as defined herein or a mixture thereof for boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial compound, and, thus reducing, suppressing or inhibiting microorganism growth in food, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare products. [0022] Finally, the present invention relates in a further aspect to a method of boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial compound with an effective amount of at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound or a mixture thereof, and, thus, reducing, suppressing or inhibiting of microorganism growth in food, a cosmetic or a pharmaceutical preparation or a homecare product. [0023] The present invention is specified in the appended claims. The invention itself, and its preferred variants, other objects and advantages, are however also apparent from the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying examples and figures. Detailed description of the invention [0024] In the context of the present invention, the following general meanings apply: [0025] The terms “comprising”, “including”, and “containing” are to be understood as open-ended terms and mean that the named components following said term are 220085 essential but not “limited to”, and other components may be added and are still embraced by the present invention. [0026] The term “consisting of” as used according to the present invention means that the total amount of components (a) and (b) adds up to 100 % by weight, based on the total weight of the sunscreen product or cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation, and signifies that the subject matter is closed-ended and can only include the limitations that are expressly recited. [0027] Whenever reference is made to “comprising” it is intended to cover both meanings as alternatives, that is the meaning can be either “comprising” or “consisting of” unless the context dictates otherwise. [0028] The term "or" or "and/or" is used as a function word to indicate that two words or phrases are to be taken together or separately. [0029] The term “optionally” means that the subsequently described compound may but need not to be present in the composition, and that the description includes variants, where the compound is included or variants, where the compound is absent. [0030] The endpoints of all ranges directed to the same component or property are inclusive and independently combinable. [0031] The term "compound(s)" or "compound(s) of the present invention" refers to all compounds encompassed by the structural formula (I) and/or formula (lI) and/or formula (III) and/or formula (IV) and/or formula (V) and/or formula (VI) and/or formula (VI) and/or formula (VII) and/or formula (VIII) disclosed herein and includes each subgenus and all specific compounds within the formula whose structure is disclosed herein. 220085 [0032] The term “at least one …compound” means that the food, cosmetic cor pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product according to the present invention, in the following also referred to as “composition”, can comprise either one of said subsequently described individual compound or a mixture of two, three, four, five, six or even more different of said subsequently compounds. [0033] The term “effective amount of a compound” means the amount of compound, that is sufficient to achieve the desired effect or improvement. For example: the “effective amount of an antimicrobial” means the amount or concentration of an antimicrobial, that is sufficient to result in an antimicrobial efficacy. [0034] The term “antimicrobial effect” in the context of the present invention means that the microorganisms’ growth is reduced or even inhibited, so that the number of living microorganisms is reduced or that microorganisms’ growth does not arise. [0035] The term “synergistic effect” is an effect achieved when two different chemical substances or biological structures interact resulting in acumulative overall effect that is greater than the sum of individual effects of any of them. In the present invention, the synergistic effect relates to a synergistic antimicrobial effect. [0036] The term “food” in the context of the present invention is any substance or formulation consumed to provide nutritional support for an organism. Food is usually of plant, animal, or fungal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins or minerals. The substance or formulation is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth. The term “food” also encompass food for animals. [0037] The term “cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations” in the context of the present invention are compositions for cosmetic or pharmaceutical purposes. The term “cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations” also encompasses sunscreen products, i.e. a photoprotective topical product for the skin including UV-filter compounds that 220085 absorbs or reflects some of the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation and thus helps protect against sunburn and most importantly prevent skin cancer. [0038] The term “homecare products” in the context of the present invention are the essentials for daily care and cleaning purpose in households. They are used for maintaining hygiene and a good aura of the homes. The home care products generally include laundry detergents (powder, liquid and tablet), fabric conditioners, dishwashing detergents (liquid and tablet), hard floor and surface cleaners, glass cleaners, carpet cleaners, oven cleaners, air fresheners, disinfectants, stain removers, car wash products. These products are usually manufactured in the form of a liquid, powder, spray, granules and others. [0039] According to the present invention, the primary object of the present invention is solved by a food, cosmetic, especially dermatological, or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product, comprising or consisting of (a) at least one antimicrobial compound; and (b) at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound, represented either by the general formula (I)

[0196] Said most preferred mycosporine-like amino acid compounds are used either as single substance or in a mixture with one, two or more different mycosporine-like amino acid compounds as defined herein. [0197] The sunscreen product or cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the first aspect of the present invention is further characterized in that it does not contain one or more of the following mycosporine-like amino acid compounds: SY-14:

(R,E)-8-((4-methoxyphenylimino)-6,6-dimethyl- 3,4,4,6,7- hexahydro-2H-benzo[b][1,4] thiazine-3-carboxylic acid (CAS1629023-04-06); IUPAC: 8-(4-methoxyanilino)-6,6- dimethyl-2,3,5,7-tetrahydro-1,4-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid; SY-17:

IUPAC: Ethyl 2-[[(3E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)imino-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexen-1- yl]amino]acetate SY-20:

6,6-dimethyl-8((4-(octyloxy)phenyl)imino)- 3,4,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2H-benzo [b][1,4] thiazin-3-carboxylic acid (CAS 1629023-01-3); IUPAC: 6,6-dimethyl-8-(4- octoxyanilino)-2,3,5,7-tetrahydro-1,4-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid. [0198] Various mycosporine-like amino acid compounds (b) as described herein contain one or more chiral centers, and, thus, can exist as racemic mixtures of enantiomers, mixtures of diastereomers or enantiomerically or optically pure compounds. It should also be noted the compounds of the invention include E and Z isomers, or a mixture thereof, and cis and trans isomers or a mixture thereof. [0199] Accordingly, the chemical structures of the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds according to the general formulae (I) to (X) and compounds explicitly disclosed herein include all possible enantiomers and diastereomers or stereoisomers thereof. [0200] In certain embodiments, the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds (b) of the invention are isolated as either the E or Z isomer. In other embodiments, the compounds of the invention are a mixture of the E and Z isomers. 220085 [0201] Alternatively, stereomerically pure compounds are used in the sunscreen product or cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation according to the present invention. As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term "stereomerically pure" means that one stereoisomer of a compound is substantially free of other stereoisomers of that compound or one geometric isomer (e.g., about a double bond) is substantially free of the other geometric isomer. For example, a stereomerically pure compound of the invention having one chiral center, will be substantially free of the opposite enantiomer of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound of the invention having two chiral centers, or a composition thereof, will be substantially free of other diastereomers of the compound. A stereomerically pure compound of the invention having a double bond capable of E/Z isomerism, or a composition thereof, will be substantially free of one of the E/Z isomers. [0202] A typical stereomerically pure compound comprises greater than about 80 % by weight of one stereoisomer or E/Z isomer of the compound and less than about 20 % by weight of other stereoisomers or E/Z isomer of the compound, more preferably greater than about 90 % by weight of one stereoisomer or E/Z isomer of the compound and less than about 10 % by weight of the other stereoisomers or E/Z isomer of the compound, even more preferably greater than about 95 % by weight of one stereoisomer or E/Z isomer of the compound and less than about 5 % by weight of the other stereoisomers or E/Z isomer of the compound, and most preferably greater than about 97 % by weight of one stereoisomer or E/Z isomer of the compound and less than about 3 % by weight of the other stereoisomers or E/Z isomer of the compound. [0203] As used herein and unless otherwise indicated, the term "stereomerically enriched" means a compound of the invention, or a composition thereof, that comprises greater than about 60 % by weight of one stereoisomer or E/Z isomer of a compound of the invention, preferably greater than about 70 % by weight, more preferably greater than about 80 % by weight of one stereoisomer or E/Z isomer of a compound of the invention. 220085 [0204] Thus, it should be noted that unless stated otherwise, the term mycosporine- like amino acid compound according to formulae (I) to (X) as well as individual mycosporine-like amino acid compounds specified herein, are to be interpreted as encompassing racemic mixtures of enantiomers, mixtures of diastereomers or enantiomerically or optically pure compounds. [0205] Due to their amino cyclohexene imine structure and their capability of electron delocalization, the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds according to general formulae (I) to (X) are in equilibrium with their tautomer structures, in which the hydrogen of the amino group changes its places with the double bond of the cyclohexene ring. [0206] Tautomerism is defined as each of two or more isomers of a compound which exist together in equilibrium and are readily interchanged by migration of an atom or group within the molecule. Tautomeric pure or enriched systems will readily interchange into the equilibrium state over time. [0207] The tautomers of general formula (I) are represented by general formulae (I- tau):

formula (I) formula (I-tau). [0208] The tautomers of general formula (II) are represented by general formula (II- tau): 220085

formula (II) formula (II-tau). [0209] The above principles of tautomerism and redeposition explained on the basis of the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds according to the general formulae (I) and (II) are likewise applicable with respect to any of the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds defined by the general formula (III) to (X) or with respect to any individual mycosporine-like amino acid compounds specified herein. [0210] Thus, in the following and throughout the description, the reference to a mycosporine-like amino acid compound represented by any general formulae (I) to (X) or to an individual mycosporine-like amino acid compound specified herein encompasses likewise its tautomer isomer(s). [0211] The mycosporine-like amino acid compounds according to formulae (I) to (X) as well as individual mycosporine-like amino acid compounds specified herein are used according to the first aspect of the present invention either in neutral, i.e. uncharged form, or in the form of their salts, such as an acid addition salt, with inorganic or organic acids. [0212] The term "salt" in the context of the present invention refers to a salt of a compound that possesses the desired effect or pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include: (1) acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids, or formed with organic acids, preferably monovalent or polyvalent carboxylic acids; or (2) salts formed when an acidic proton present in the starting compound is replaced by a metal ion, e.g., an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminium ion; or coordinated with an organic base. 220085 [0213] Among the salts, acid addition salts are again particularly preferred, since the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds according to the general formulae (I) to (X) or the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds specified herein comprise a protonable N atom. [0214] The inorganic acids that form acid addition salts with the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds used according to the present invention are preferably selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like. Particularly preferred is the hydrochloride salt or the sulfate salt or the phosphate salt. [0215] Even more preferred are acid addition salts with organic mono- or polycarboxylic acids. Further preferred are acid addition salts with organic mono- or polycarboxylic acids, wherein the carboxylic acid is selected from saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated C1 to C30 monocarboxylic acids, saturated or mono- or polyunsaturated C3 to 10 di- or tricarboxylic acids. The carboxylic acid may be mono- or poly-substituted with hydroxy groups, preferably α-hydroxycarboxylic acids in which the hydroxy group is located on the carbon atom adjacent to the carboxy group. Many representatives occur naturally as so-called fruit acids. Preferred α-hydroxycarboxylic acids are malic acid, citric acid, 2-hydroxy-4-methylmercaptobutyric acid, glycolic acid, isocitric acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, tartronic acid, or tartaric acid. [0216] The organic acids that form acid addition salts with the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds used according to the present invention are preferably selected from the group consisting of amino acids, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentane propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2-ethanedisulfonic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 4-chlorobenzenesulfonic acid, 2- naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-toluenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, 4- 220085 methylbicyclo[2. 2.2]-oct-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 3- phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tert. butylacetic acid, laurylsulfuric acid, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, and the like. [0217] Among the organic acids that form acid addition salts with the mycosporine- like amino acid compounds used according to the present invention, acetic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, citric acid, or tartaric acid are most preferred. [0218] The metal ions for salt formation that replace an acidic proton present in the starting compound are selected from the group consisting of alkali metal ions, preferably Na+ or K+, alkaline earth metal ions, preferably Ca++, Mg++, and aluminium+++. [0219] The coordinating organic base for salt formation is selected from the group consisting of ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-methylglucamine, and the like. [0220] In the following description and claims, and unless stated otherwise, the term mycosporine-like amino acid compound includes both the neutral, uncharged form of the compound/molecule and equally the salt form of the compound. [0221] The salt form of the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds leads to a lower logPOW and, thus, making the compounds more hydrophilic, which results in a better water solubility. In particular, the cationic salts of the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds support emulsification processes in emulsions, due to their surface reducing activity, i.e. co-emulsifying, properties. In addition, the cationic salt form of the mycosporine-like compounds shows excellent substantivity behaviour on skin and hair and other non-biological surfaces: most conditioning actives are cationic; the conditioning effect leads to a softer skin feel, which makes the end products more 220085 accepted by the consumer. In addition, the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds in the cationic salt form exhibit antimicrobial activity.

[0295] Other preferred liquid carrier substances, which may be a component of the composition according to the present invention are selected from the group consisting of oils such as vegetable oil, neutral oil and mineral oil. [0296] The composition as defined herein, is preferably based on a carrier, which comprises at least one oil phase. [0297] The oil phase or oil component in the composition according to the present invention which may be suitable are for example plant oils, hydrocarbons, fatty alcohols, fatty acid esters, or mixtures of two or more of the aforesaid oil components. [0298] The oil phase or oil component in the composition is preferably a plant oil and even more preferably a liquid plant oil. It can also advantageously be a mixture of two or more plant oils components, especially liquid plant oil mixtures. [0299] Plant oils or vegetable oils are oils extracted from seeds, or less often, from other parts of fruits. Like animal fats, plant oils are mixtures of triglycerides. Soybean oil, rapeseed oil and cocoa butter are examples of plant oils from seeds. Olive oil, palm oil and rice bran oil are examples of oils from other parts of fruits. In common usage, plant oil or vegetable oil may refer exclusively to vegetable fats which are liquid at room temperature or at 35 to 37 °C skin temperature. Vegetable oils are usually edible. [0300] The term “plant oils” also includes unsaturated plant oils. Unsaturated oils or vegetable oils can be transformed through partial or complete “hydrogenation” into oils of higher melting point. The hydrogenation process involves “sparging” the oil at high 220085 temperature and pressure with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst, typically a powdered nickel compound. As each carbon-carbon double-bond is chemically reduced to a single bond, two hydrogen atoms each form single bonds with the two carbon atoms. The elimination of double bonds by adding hydrogen atoms is called saturation; as the degree of saturation increases, the oil progresses toward being fully hydrogenated. An oil may be hydrogenated to increase resistance to rancidity (oxidation) or to change its physical characteristics. As the degree of saturation increases, the oil's viscosity and melting point increase.

[0303] The plant oil can be used either as a single component or in mixture with one or more further different plant oil(s) as specified above. [0304] Hydrocarbons (mineral oils) are in general organic compounds consisting entirely of hydrogen and carbon. As defined by IUPAC nomenclature or organic chemistry, the classifications for hydrocarbons are: 2. Saturated hydrocarbons are the simplest of the hydrocarbon species. They are composed entirely of single bonds and are saturated with hydrogen. The formula for acyclic saturated hydrocarbons (i.e., alkanes) is CnH2n+2.The most general form of 220085 saturated hydrocarbons is CnH2n+2(1-r), where r is the number of rings. Those with exactly one ring are the cycloalkanes. Saturated hydrocarbons are the basis of petroleum fuels and are found as either linear or branched species. 3. Unsaturated hydrocarbons have one or more double or triple bonds between carbon atoms. Those with double bond are called alkenes. Those with one double bond have the formula C_nH2_n (assuming non-cyclic structures). Those containing triple bonds are called alkynes. Those with one triple bond have the formula CnH2n−2. 4. Aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as arenes, are hydrocarbons that have at least one aromatic ring. [0305] Hydrocarbons can be inter alia liquids (e.g. hexane and benzene), waxes or low melting solids (e.g. paraffin wax and naphthalene). The term 'aliphatic' refers to non-aromatic hydrocarbons. Saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons are sometimes referred to as “paraffins”. Mineral oils and waxes are mixtures of predominantly saturated hydrocarbons consisting of straight‐chain, branched and ring structures with carbon chain lengths greater than C14. Mineral oils and waxes are chemical substances prepared from naturally occurring crude petroleum oil. They mainly consist of mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons (MOSH) and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons (MOAH). Hydrocarbons have been used for many decades in skin and lip care cosmetic products due to their excellent skin tolerance as well as their high protecting and cleansing performance and broad viscosity options. In contrast to vegetable oils, mineral oils are non‐allergenic since they are highly stable and not susceptible to oxidation or rancidity. [0306] In a preferred variant, the hydrocarbon is selected from the group consisting of undecane, tridecane, mineral oil, petrolatum squalane, isohexadecane, C7 - C8 isoparaffin, C8 - C9 isoparaffin, C9 - C11 isoparaffin, C9 - C12 isoparaffin, C9 - C13 isoparaffin, C9 - C14 isoparaffin, C9 - C16 isoparaffin, C10 - C11 isoparaffin, C10 – C12 isoparaffin, C10 - C13 isoparaffin, C11 - C12 isoparaffin, C11 - C13 isoparaffin, C11 - C14 isoparaffin, C12 - C14 isoparaffin, C12 - C15 isoparaffin, C12 - C20 isoparaffin, C13 - C14 isoparaffin, C13 - C16 isoparaffin, C14 - C16 isoparaffin, C15 - C19 isoparaffin, and C18 - C70 isoparaffin. 220085 [0307] The hydrocarbon can be used either as a single component or in mixture with one or more further different hydrocarbon(s) as specified above. [0308] A fatty alcohol (or long-chain alcohol) is usually a high-molecular-weight, straight-chain primary alcohol, but can also range from as few as 4 to 6 carbons to as many as 22 to 26, derived from natural fats and oils. The precise chain length varies with the source. Some commercially important fatty alcohols are lauryl, stearyl and oleyl alcohols. They are colourless oily liquids (for smaller carbon numbers) or waxy solids, although impure samples may appear yellow. Fatty alcohols usually have an even number of carbon atoms and a single alcohol group (–OH) attached to the terminal carbon. Some are unsaturated and some are branched. Most fatty alcohols in nature are found as waxes which are esters with fatty acids and fatty alcohols. The traditional sources of fatty alcohols have largely been various vegetable oils and these remain a large-scale feedstock. The alcohols are obtained from the triglycerides (fatty acid triesters), which form the bulk of the oil. The process involves the transesterification of the triglycerides to give methyl esters which are then hydrogenated to give the fatty alcohols. Fatty alcohols are also prepared from petrochemical sources. In the Ziegler process, ethylene is oligomerized using triethylaluminium followed by air oxidation. Alternatively, ethylene can be oligomerized to give mixtures of alkenes, which are subjected to hydroformylation, this process affording odd-numbered aldehyde, which is subsequently hydrogenated. Fatty alcohols are mainly used in the production of detergents and surfactants. They are components also of cosmetic solvents. They find use as co-emulsifiers, emollients and thickeners in cosmetics. [0309] In a preferred variant, the fatty alcohol is selected from the group consisting of phenyl propanol, dimethyl phenylbutanol, hexyldecanol, octyldodecanol, octyldecanol, tridecylalcohol, isostearyl alcohol, phenylisohexanol, phenylpropanol, trimethylbenzenepropanol, isoamylalcohol, isostearyl alcohol, and isotridecyl alcohol. The fatty alcohol can be used either as a single component or in mixture with one or more further different fatty alcohol(s) as specified above. 220085 [0310] A fatty acid ester is a type of ester that results from the combination of a fatty acid with an alcohol. When the alcohol component is glycerol, the fatty acid esters produced can be monoglycerides, diglycerides or triglycerides. Fatty acid esters have a conditioning effect of softening the skin to create a smoothing sensation. They are also added to cosmetics to dissolve high-polarity active ingredients and UV absorbers. Esters of straight-chain fatty acids and lower alcohols are effective for dissolving slightly soluble ingredients for oils with a light touch during application. Isostearic acids and other liquid oils with branched fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids are commonly used as emollients. Higher fatty acid esters and esters of higher alcohols with relatively high melting points are added to skin creams to adjust the application touch. [0311] In a preferred variant, the fatty acid ester is selected from the group consisting of C12 - C15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Caprylic/Capric/Lauric Triglyceride, Caprylic/Capric/Linoleic Triglyceride, Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride, Caprylic/Capric/Palmitic/Stearic Triglyceride, Caprylic/Capric/Stearic Triglyceride, Caprylic/Capric/Succinic Triglyceride, Caprylyl Caprylate, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetearyl Isononanoate, Cetearyl Nonanoate, Coco-Caprylate, Decyl Cocoate, Decyl Oleate, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Diethyl Succinate, Diethylhexyl 2,6- Naphthalate, Diethylhexyl Carbonate, Dibutyl Adipate, Diisopropyl Adipate, Dipropylheptyl Carbonate, Ethyl Laurate, Ethylhexyl Isononanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Ethylhexyl Stearate, Glyceryl Caprylate Caprate, Glyceryl Caprylate, Glyceryl Laurate, Glyceryl Triacetyl Hydroxystearate, Glyceryl Triacetyl Ricinoleate, Hexyl Laurate, Isoamyl acetate, Isoamyl Cocoate, Isopropyl Palmitate, Isosorbide Dicaprylate, Isopropyl Myristate, Myristyl Myristate, Oleic/Linoleic Triglyceride, Oleic/Palmitic Triglyceride, Oleic/Palmitic/Lauric/Myristic/Linoleic Triglyceride, Propanediol Caprylate, Ricinoleic/Caproic/Caprylic/ Capric Triglyceride, Oleostearine, Oleyl Erucate, Palmitic/Stearic Triglyceride, Propanediol Dicaprylate Caprate, Propylheptyl Caprylate, Stearyl Heptanoate/Stearyl Caprylate, Triheptanoin, Trihydroxystearin, Triisononanoin, Triisopalmitin, Triisostearin, Trilaurin, Trilinolein, 220085 Trilinolenin, Trimyristin, Triolein, Tripalmitin, Tripalmitolein, Tripelargonin, Triricinolein, and Tristearin.

[0314] In addition to the above-described substances, further ingredients commonly used in the food industry, cosmetic or pharmaceutical industry or for homecare products, which are suitable or customary in the compositions of the present invention, can be used. [0315] The cosmetic or pharmaceutical, in particular dermatological, preparations according to the present invention are intended for topical application. The term “topical” is understood to mean external applications on a mammal’s skin or mucosa, which are in particular for the protection, treatment, care and cleansing of the skin, scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, nails, mucous membranes and hair. The mammal is preferably a human. [0316] For topical application, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation is either a rinse off or a leave on preparation. [0317] The cosmetic or pharmaceutical or homecare products according to the present invention may be in the form of an aqueous solution, dispersions, a hydro alcoholic vehicle, a stick, an ointment, a gel, an aerosol (foams, sprays, propellant pump) and the like. 220085 [0318] The cosmetic or pharmaceutical, in particular dermatological, preparation or homecare product according to the first aspect of the present invention can be present in different forms, e.g. in the form of a dispersion, in the form of a liquid surfactant formulation, in the form of a solid surfactant formulation, in the form of a water free formulation, or in the form of an aqueous, aqueous/alcoholic, in particular aqueous/ethanolic, aqueous/glycolic or alcoholic/glycolic, in particular ethanolic/glycolic, based solution. [0319] In a preferred variant, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product according to the first aspect of the invention is a dispersion. The term “dispersion” in the context of the present invention means, that the sunscreen product, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product is a disperse two-phase system consisting of colloidal particles (disperse phase) and a medium in which they are suspended (disperse medium). Both phases are not miscible with each other, only with an emulsifier. Such dispersions, for example emulsions, comprise the at least one oil component (without UV-filter(s)) preferably in an amount of ≥ 1 % by weight, more preferably in an amount of ≥ 3 % by weight.

[0329] In a further alternative, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product according to the present invention is a solid surfactant formulation. [0330] Such solid surfactant formulations include for example solid shampoos, solid body wash, bar soaps. [0331] If the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation according to the present invention is a liquid or solid surfactant composition, the surfactant component is present in the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product in an amount of 1.0 to 90.0 % by weight, preferably in an amount of 1.5 to 80 % by weight, more preferably in an amount of 2.0 to 70 % by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. [0332] Alternatively, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product as disclosed herein is an aqueous or an aqueous/alcoholic, preferably aqueous/ethanolic, or an aqueous/glycolic, or an alcoholic/glycolic, preferably ethanolic/glycolic, based solution. Typically, this could be glycerin in water or alcohol compositions. Said solutions are homogeneous one phase system of water/alcohol/glycol and additional components. The aqueous/alcoholic or aqueous/glycolic or alcoholic/glycolic based solution comprises an aliphatic alcohol or a glycol in an amount of 0.1 to 70.0 % by weight, preferably in an amount of 0.5 to 60.0 % by weight, more preferably in an amount of 1.0 to 50.0 % by weight, based on the total weight of the solution.

[0334] Such aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic or aqueous/glycolic or alcoholic/glycolic based solutions include for example deo/antiperspirant preparations, after shave, cleansing preparations, or anti-acne preparations. [0335] In a further preferred variant, the inventive composition is an impregnation solution in the form of an emulsion spray or ethanol/oil spray for wet wipes. [0336] The above formulations or compositions are prepared according to usual and known methods. [0337] The cosmetic preparation according to the present invention is a preparation for cosmetic and/or non-therapeutic use for personal care, skin protection, skin care, scalp protection, scalp care, hair care, nail care, in particular for the prevention and/or treatment of skin conditions, intolerant or sensitive skin, skin irritation, skin reddening, rosacea, wheals, pruritus (itching), skin aging, wrinkle formation, loss of skin volume, loss of skin elasticity, pigment spots, pigment abnormalities, skin dryness, flaking, greasiness, hypopigmentation and/or hyperpigmentation of the skin; or a preparation for animal care.

[0341] In order to be used, the cosmetic or pharmaceutical, in particular dermatological preparation according to the present invention is applied to the skin, hair, scalp and/or nails in an adequate amount in such manner as is customary with cosmetics and dermatological products. [0342] In addition, the products and prepartions according to the present invention are homecare products. The homecare products are predominantly detergent formulations, usually liquids, powders, sprays, granules or tablets, used to remove dirt, including dust, stains, bad smells and clutter on surfaces or other types of housecleaning or laundry detergent that is added for cleaning laundry or liquid soap. Typical homecare products include all purpose cleaners, dishwashing detergens, hard floor and surface cleaners, glass cleaners, carpet cleaners, oven cleaners, laundry detergents (powder, liquid and table), fabric softeners, laundry scent, scent lotions, air fresheners, disinfectants, stain removers, carwash proudcts, rim block gel, all aforementioned goods also in encapsulated form, air fresheners or furniture polish, etc. [0343] Surprisingly, the addition of a mycosporine-like amino acid compound to an antimicrobial component in food, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product has been found to synergistically enhance the antimicrobial effect thereof. [0344] The above specified mixtures/combinations according to the first aspect of the present invention, comprising at least one antimicrobial compound (a) and at least a mycosporine-like amino acid compound (b) are characterized by a synergistically 220085 antimicrobial efficacy against a broad spectrum of microorganism, i.e. against bacteria, yeast and fungi/mould, when used in combination with an antimicrobial component, compared to their respective single mycosporine-like amino acid substances as it is demonstrated in the following examples. [0345] Surprisingly, the synergistic antimicrobial effect can even be demonstrated for Candida, such as Candida albicans, and Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus brasiliensis, which both are known to be combated only with great difficulty. [0346] Said synergistic antimicrobial effect is observed for the mixture including ethyl 2-[[(3E)-5,5-dimethyl-3-phenylimino-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-1) in combination with an antimicrobial compound. [0347] The mixture including (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl- cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium; chloride (MAA-2 salt) in combination with an antimicrobial compound is particularly beneficial since it has a particularly pronounced synergistic antimicrobial effect. [0348] The mixture comprising ethyl 2-[[(3E)-5,5-dimethyl-3-(4-octoxyphenyl)imino- cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-3) in combination with an antimicrobial compound or a mixture comprising ethyl 2-[[(3E)-3-(4-benzoylphenyl)imino-5,5- dimethyl-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-4) in combination with an antimicrobial compound are particularly advantageous. [0349] Also, the mixture comprising ethyl 2-[[(3E)-5,5-dimethyl-3-(4- phenylphenyl)imino-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-5) or the mixture comprising ethyl 2-[[(3E)-5,5-dimethyl-3-[4-[(E)-phenylazo]phenyl]imino-cyclohexen-1- yl]amino]acetate (MAA-6) synergistically reduces the microbial load when used in combination with different antimicrobials. 220085 [0350] A synergistic effect is also true for a mixture including ethyl 2-[[(3E)-3-(4- fluorophenyl)imino-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-7) in combination with an antimicrobial compound or for a mixture including ethyl (8E)-8- (3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)imino-6,6-dimethyl-3,4,5,7-tetrahydro-2H-1,4-benzothiazine-3- carboxylate (MAA-8) in combination with an antimicrobial compound. [0351] A synergistic effect is particularly distinctive for a combination including ethyl (8E)-8-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)imino-6,6-dimethyl-3,4,5,7-tetrahydro-2H-1,4-benzothia- zine-3-carboxylic acid (MAA-9) and an antimicrobial compound. [0352] The mixtures comprising ethyl 2-[[(3E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)imino-5,5- dimethyl-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-10) or ethyl 2-[[(3E)-5,5-dimethyl-3-(4- morpholinophenyl)imino-cyclohexen-1-yl]amino]acetate (MAA-11) when used in combinaition with an antimicrobial compound act synergistically against microorganisms as specified herein. [0353] The combinations of MAA-12 or MAA-13 or MAA-14 and an antimicrobial compound are also beneficial since they have a particular pronounced synergistic antimicrobial effect. [0354] With the use of the above-described mixtures/combinations including a mycosporine-like amino acid and an antimicrobial component, the microbial growth in food, or cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions or homecare products can be considerably reduced or even inhibited, and, thus, microbial load in such formulations can be reduced. [0355] With the above-described antimicrobial efficacy of the mixtures/combinations, including a mycosporine-like amino acid compound and an antimicrobial compound, microbial load in food, or cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions or homecare products can be considerably reduced. 220085 [0356] Hence, the storage stability of such formulations can be considerably improved, and, thus, the shelf live can be prolonged. Moreover, the risk of spoilage during individual customer use is significantly reduced. [0357] The afore specified mixtures including a mycosporine-like amino acid compound in combination with an antimicrobial component display a remarkably synergistic activity and are clearly superior to the individually corresponding mycosporine-like amino acid compounds alone or the individually corresponding antimicrobial compounds and having the same concentration. [0358] As demonstrated in the following examples, said synergistic antimicrobial effect or action was found for a mixture of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5- dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) and 4- hydroxyacetophenone (50 : 50), resulting in Synergy Indices of 0.75 against S. aureus, 0.75 against C. albicans, 0.56 against A. brasiliensis and 0.73 against P. aeruginosa is particularly beneficial since it has a particular pronounced synergistic antimicrobial effect against multiple microorganism. Surprisingly, the synergistic antimicrobial effect could also be demonstrated for Candida albicans and Aspergillus brasiliensis, which both are known to be combated only with great difficulty. [0359] A synergistic antimicrobial effect or action was also found for a mixture of (E)- [3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl- ammonium (MAA-2 salt) and 1,2-pentanediol (50 : 50), resulting in Synergy Indices of 0.80 against A. brasiliensis, 0.55 against P. aeruginosa and 0.58 against E. coli. [0360] Also a mixture of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex- 2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) and ethylhexylglycerin (50 : 50), act synergistically against microorganisms as specified herein, resulting in a Synergy Index of 0.23 against P. aeruginosa. [0361] With the use of the above-described mixtures including at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound in combination with an antimicrobial 220085 compound, the microbial growth in food, or cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions or homecare products can be considerably inhibited, and, thus, microbial load in such formulations can be reduced. [0362] Hence, the storage stability of such formulations can be considerably improved, and, thus, the shelf life can be prolonged. Moreover, the risk of spoilage during individual customer use is significantly reduced. [0363] The antimicrobial boosting effect obtained by use of at least one mycosporine- like amino acid compound has the advantage that the antimicrobial efficiency of the antimicrobial compound is broadened, either by achieving a higher performance of an antimicrobial compound with the same amounts, or, vice versa, by achieving the same performance with lower amounts of an antimicrobial compound, so that the overall content of the antimicrobial component in the final product can be reduced, compared to a final product including an antimicrobial component without the addition of a mycosporine-like amino acid compound. [0364] For instance, with the addition of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5- dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) to an antimicrobial compound, the antimicrobial efficacy of a antimicrobial compound can be enhanced. Consequently, the concentration of the antimicrobial compound can be reduced while the same antimicrobial effect can be obtained. [0365] Hence, the use of a mycosporine-like amino acid compound as defined herein in general allows for the use of less antimicrobial component in a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition or homecare product for achieving the same antimicrobial effect compared to a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising the same antimicrobial component but without the use of the mycosporine-like amino-acid compound. [0366] Since the mycosporine-like amino acid compounds have the advantage that they are water-soluble, the antimicrobial compound can be in admixture with the 220085 mycosporine-like amino acid compound easier incorporated into the food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product, and, thus are available in the water phase, where usually microbial contamination takes place. This is of particular benefit for products or formulations with a large oil phase, for example sunscreen products, where common preservatives are difficult to incorporate. Hence, a good compromise can be achieved when a mycosporine-like amino acid compound is combined in such a way as to boost the antimicrobial effect, while improving processability in formulations. [0367] Due to the described advantageously properties, a mycosporine-like amino acid compound (b) as defined herein can be used for the preparation of food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations or homecare products which can be better microbially stabilized thereby. The microbial stabilization allows the food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations or homecare product to be stored without microbial degradation and deterioration, thus improving the shelf life of food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations or homecare products. [0368] Due to the outstanding antimicrobial boosting effect as described above, the combined use of at least one antimicrobial compound (a) and at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound (b) is suitable for the preservation of food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations or homecare products. [0369] Thus, in a further aspect the present invention relates to the combined use of at least one antimicrobial compound (a) and at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound (b) according to the invention for suppressing or inhibiting microorganism growth in food, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations or homecare products. Here the combinations are valuable in ensuring good preservation of said products. The suppression or inhibition of the growth of microorganisms is a reduction of the microorganisms’ growth rate and/or stagnation or reduction of the number of living microorganisms. By suppressing or inhibiting the microorganisms’ growth, the degradation and deterioration of the cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation, in 220085 particular during storage, which sometimes goes along with impairment of the sensory quality of the products, can be prevented or at least minimized. [0370] In addition, the present invention relates in a further aspect to the use of at least one mycosporine-like amino acid compound (b) as defined herein for boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial component, preferably in food, a cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or a homecare product. [0371] A use is further preferred, wherein the microorganisms are selected from the group consisting of the genus Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, Echerichia, Candida, Aspergillus, and combinations thereof, in particular selected from the group consisting of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans und Aspergillus brasiliensis, and combinations thereof, more particular Candida albicans und Aspergillus brasiliensis. The antimicrobial composition according to the first aspect of the present invention showed excellent efficacy against these microorganisms. [0372] Finally, the present invention also relates to a method of boosting the efficacy of an antimicrobial compound (a) in food, a cosmetic or a pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product. In the method according to the invention a food, a cosmetic or a pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product is provided. Next, an effective amount of an antimicrobial compound (a) is combined with an effective amount of a mycosporine-like amino acid compound (b) and incorporated into the food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparation or homecare product thereby achieving an enhanced preservation of said products. [0373] The present invention shall now be described in detail with reference to the following examples, which are merely illustrative of the present invention, such that the content of the present invention is not limited by or to the following examples. 220085 Examples [0374] Example 1 [0375] The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) test is a test on growth inhibition. The estimation of MICs is executed in 96 well plates. Through the comparison of bacterial growth with positive and negative controls via optical density (OD), different concentrations of given test substances are evaluated. [0376] Bacteria were cultivated under adjusted conditions based on information of the German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures (DSMZ) and stored in 10 % or 50 % glycerol prior to use. Afterwards, the following method was applied: Growth medium (according to microorganism) was added to each well of the microplate. Then, test-substances solved in DMSO, and strain specific benchmarks were added. Additionally, positive controls (water controls only with medium) and solvent controls (DMSO controls only with medium) were performed. Finally, the microorganisms were added in a concentration of 1 to 6 x 10⁶ CFU / ml (CFU = colony forming units). The incubation of the microplates was carried out at appropriate conditions. [0377] According to the resulting growth, substance concentrations are labelled either as inhibiting or not and MIC is defined as the lowest concentration where a complete growth inhibition is visible. Experiments at concentration limits (highest concentration labelled as growth and lowest concentration labelled as inhibiting) are performed at least twice. [0378] Tested concentrations were adjusted to performance of test substance, but in general: 5,000 ppm steps between 50,000 ppm and 10,000 ppm, and 2500 ppm steps below 10,000 ppm, finishing with 1000 ppm. To enhance resolution of the approach, additional intermediate steps were included in individual cases. For P. aeruginosa and A. brasiliensis, a maximum concentration of 25,000 ppm was applied as at this point the DMSO concentration itself showed inhibition. For ethylhexylglycerin and 1,2- pentanediol, pure substance without DMSO was tested. 220085 [0379] To verify that the tested combinations act synergistically against microorganisms, corresponding experiments were conducted with Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The synergistic activities of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5- dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (IUPAC) and different antimicrobial compounds in a mixture of 50 % and 50 % were determined by measuring the MIC of the mixture. [0380] In order to calculate the synergy index with MIC values, the Kull equation was used as follows: SI = (MICmixture x PA) / MICA + (MICmixture x PB) / MICB wherein SI is the Synergy Index according to Kull MICA is the MIC value for Substance A MICB is the MIC value for Substance B MICmixture is the MIC value for the mixture of substances A and B PA is the proportion of the substance A in the mixture PB is the proportion of the substance B in the mixture [0381] Example 1.1: MIC values and synergy indices of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo- ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) in combination with either 4-hydroxyacetophenone, 1,2-pentanediol and ethylhexylglycerin against Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Aspergillus brasiliensis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli [0382] The synergistic activity of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl- cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) in combination with different antimicrobial compounds was determined by measuring the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) according to the method as described above. 220085 [0383] Table 3:

220085

[0384] For the tested antimicrobial component, synergistic effects regarding the antimicrobial efficacy were found with SI values below 1. [0385] For a mixture of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2- en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) and 4-hydroxyacetophenone (50 : 50) the respective MIC values were determined, resulting in Synergy Indices of 0.75 against S. aureus, 0.75 against C. albicans, 0.56 against A. brasiliensis and 0.73 against P. aeruginosa. 220085 [0386] For a mixture of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2- en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) and 1,2-pentanediol (50 : 50) the respective MIC values were determined, resulting in Synergy Indices of 0.80 against A. brasiliensis, 0,55 against P. aeruginosa and 0.58 against E. coli. [0387] For a mixture of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2- en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt) and ethylhexylglycerin (50 : 50) the respective MIC values were determined, resulting in Synergy Indices of 0.23 against P. aeruginosa. [0388] This means that with the addition of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5- dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt), the antimicrobial efficacy of a antimicrobial compound can be enhanced. [0389] Consequently, the concentration of the antimicrobial component can be reduced while the same antimicrobial effect can be obtained. Hence, the use of (E)-[3- [(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]-5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammo- nium (MAA-2 salt) allows for the use of less antimicrobial component in a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition for achieving the same antimicrobial effect compared to a food, cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition comprising the same antimicrobial component but without the use of (E)-[3-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxo-ethyl)amino]- 5,5-dimethyl-cyclohex-2-en-1-ylidene]-phenyl-ammonium (MAA-2 salt).
