Benefits of technology

The patent text discusses the use of volatile silicon oils as adjuvants in pharmaceutical preparations. These oils help to improve the stability and penetration properties of ointments and gels containing active ingredients. The silicone coating formed around the active ingredient particles protects them from chemical and microbiological impacts, ensuring good stability. When the gel is applied to the skin, the silicone compound evaporates, leaving the active substance particles on the surface of the skin. These particles easily release into the layers of the skin, resulting in effective absorption without any interaction with the human organism. Overall, this approach provides improved efficacy and safety of the pharmaceutical product.

Problems solved by technology

In case of lung oedema the strongly foamy mucus originating from the lung and making a barrier in the normal ventilation and in the oxygen uptake can cause anoxia or suffocation in lack of treatment.
According to these patents highly volatile siloxanes serve exclusively in order to obtain a good distribution on the surface of the human skin, but not to attain chemical and microbiological stability.
A disadvantage of the ointments having fatty or oily bases is that the penetration of the active ingredient is slow and the amount of the released active substance is low, because in the lipophil phase the solubility of the ointment is higher, especially in case of active substances having low aqueous solubility, and therefore, the distribution is not equal, the ointment base contains more active substance.
Gel compositions containing the active ingredient in a suspended form are known from the literature, wherein the release of the active substance is adequate, but stability problems can occur during storage.
These problems are caused by the chemical and microbiological reactions on the contact areas of the different surfaces, which may change the chemical condition of the active substance.
These kind of stability problems can occur for example during the storage of Hotemin® cream containing piroxicam, Voltaren® emulgel (diclofenac) or Rozex® gel containing metronidazol.
