Problems solved by technology

Also, many phenols, even though they are antimicrobially active, can exhibit undesired side effects when applied to human or animal skin, such as causticity, malodour, and irritating or photosensitizing effects
[0007] A particular problem with thymol is that its presence in formulations is often easily perceived due to its olfactory properties
Although their olfactory properties are (at least to some extent) desirable in certain fragrance compositions, some users consider them too strong when applied at effective concentrations in flash sanitizers

Embodiment 1

[0175] Example 1: Evaluation of Antimicrobial Efficacy

[0176] Material

[0177] Both p-menthenol and comparative compounds were purchased as fine chemicals from suppliers such as Sigma Aldrich, Alfa Aesar and TCI Fine Chemicals. 2-(4-Methylcyclohex-3-enyl)propan-1-ol was obtained in 97% purity as about 67% ( R )-2-(( R )-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)propan-1-ol and about 33% ( R )-2-(( S )-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl)propan-1-ol mixtures.

[0178] The synthesis of cis- and trans-caprimenthol followed a literature route based on previous literature [K. Winska, A. Grudniewska, A. Chojnacka, A. Bialonska, and C. Wawrzenczyk, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry , 2010, Volume 21 Issue (6), pp. 670-678; S. Serra, E. Brenna, C. Fuganti and F. Maggioni, Tetrahedron: Asymmetry , Volume 14, 2003, pp. 3313–3319]. Lithium aluminum hydride (1.25 g, 32.85 mmol) was suspended in diethyl ether (40 mL) and cooled to 0 °C in an ice / salt bath. Piperonone (5 g, 32.85 mmol) in anhydrous diethyl eth...

Embodiment 2

[0241]In this example, a number of Combination of different chemicals. Each material was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. Synergy experiments were performed using standard microtiter plate assays with phosphate buffered saline containing 35% dipropylene glycol (DPG). High-resolution MBC was determined by adding various amounts of microbicide to an array of microtiter plates and performing 10-fold serial dilutions using an automated liquid handling system to obtain a series of endpoints ranging from 0.002% to 1% of the test compound. MBC plates were inoculated one column at a time with the test microorganisms. An aliquot of the inoculated well was transferred at 15 seconds to a plate containing neutralizer (D / E Neutralizing Broth), mixed and held for 5 minutes, then transferred to a plate containing Tryptic Casein Soy Broth ( TSB) growth plate. TSB plates were incubated at 37°C and read for presence / absence of growth at 24 hours. The lowest level of the assay t...

Embodiment 3

[0251] Example 3: Automated Assessment of Potency in Surfactant Bases

[0252] Sample Preparation

[0253] In these examples, the efficacy of the combination of thymol and p-menthenol was tested in a surfactant cleaning formulation comprising 2.85% sodium cocoyl glycinate and 1.85% sodium lauroamphoacetate. This corresponds to a use dilution of a typical neat formulation containing 5.7% cocoyl glycinate and 3.7% sodium lauroamphoacetate with 50% water during hand washing. Solutions were prepared such that the concentrations of the surfactant components and test actives were 1.1 times the final desired concentration to allow for dilution with the bacterial inoculum in the test. The solution was adjusted to pH 10.0 by manual dropwise addition of sodium hydroxide solution, as measured with a pH meter at ambient temperature. Solutions of thymol and / or p-menthenol were prepared up to 24 hours before testing. The same thymol and p-menthenol as in Example 1 were used.

Abstract

The invention relates to an antimicrobial composition and a method for disinfection involving the antimicrobial composition. The invention particularly relates to an antimicrobial composition for personal cleaning, oral care or hard surface cleaning applications. It was found that compositions comprising thymol, p-menthene alcohols and a carrier provide synergistic antimicrobial action. In a preferred aspect the composition also comprises 1-80 wt% of one or more surfactants.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to antimicrobial compositions and methods of disinfection involving the antimicrobial compositions. It particularly relates to antimicrobial compositions for personal cleaning, oral care or hard surface cleaning applications. Background of the invention [0002] Cleansing and disinfecting soaps or cleaning compositions are of great benefit to an individual because proper use can generally reduce the number of bacteria and pathogens to which an individual is exposed. Thus, such compositions may, for example, play an important role in reducing the occurrence and spread of infectious diseases. [0003] Antiseptic and sanitizing soap compositions comprising chlorine-based antimicrobial agents such as triclosan are known. Such compositions require substantial contact times to provide effective antimicrobial action. In practice, users, especially children, do not take long to clean and, as a result, cleaning with such comp...
