Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes a solution of retinoic acid or other retinoids in alcohol and an ester co-solvent. This solution can be used to make topical compositions, like emulsions or suspensions, that contain a water-soluble active ingredient in an aqueous phase and the retinoid solution in a non-aqueous phase. The solution does not use any surfactants or emulsifiers to solubilize the retinoids, but rather uses cosolvents like alkyl benzoate, IPP, or IPM in conjunction with a small amount of alcohol. The amount of alcohol used in the emulsion or suspension is so small that it eliminates alcohol-induced skin irritation."

Problems solved by technology

For example, aqueous retinoid acid formulations containing no alcohol and no fats have not shown to be clinically efficacious because the active ingredients are not dissolved in solution, and therefore not available for effectively treating the skin.
Unfortunately, retinoids alone in formulations have been known to be quite unstable.
However, the stability of the composition containing high levels of alcohol is limited and high levels of alcohol will irritate the skin.

Clindamycin will be in a clear solution in aqueous media with glycerin and propylene glycol. Both the clindamycin aqueous solution and the ester solution of tretinoin are suspended in the volatile silicone and starch. Both actives stay in one composition without interacting. Upon shaking, the composition delivers a therapeutic amount of the two actives for treating acne. Starch and volatile silicone provide excellent aesthetic vehicles, which upon application to the skin provide aesthetically acceptable liquid pow...

Abstract

Compositions for topical application for treating a skin disorder (e.g., acne) include a retinoid, which is solubilized completely in alcohol only with the aid of cosolvents such as esters (e.g., alkyl benzoate, isopropyl palmitate, isopropyl myristate, diisopropyl adipate and their derivatives). This completely solubilized retinoid can be used to formulate an emulsion system or liquid to powder suspension containing a second active, such as an antibiotic (e.g., clindamycin).

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a divisional application of pending U.S. application Ser. No. 10 / 984,630 filed Nov. 9, 2004, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional application Ser. No. 60 / 569,809 filed May 11, 2004. The entire disclosure of each of these priority applications is incorporated herein by this reference.BACKGROUND OF RELATED ART [0002] The combination of retinoids and antibiotics is of great interest in dermatology, due to the established synergistic efficacy of the two actives in treating acne. Retinoids are powerful keratolytic agents and antibiotics provide anti-bacterial activity for treating acne. Antibiotics such as erythromycin and clindamycin are soluble in aqueous media. Retinoids are insoluble in water. When formulating combination actives for treating acne, it is important to keep the retinoids in complete solution as well as antibiotics in solution. For example, aqueous retinoid acid formulations containing no alcohol and no fats have not ...
