AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a composition called chitosan / oxidized cellulose which is made from a natural material called oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). This composition has several advantages including being biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-immunogenic. It can be made into various forms such as insoluble fibers or water-soluble fragments. The composition can bind to growth factors which helps to keep them at the wound site and promotes chronic wound healing. It is also made from natural materials that are safe and can be easily absorbed by the body. There is also evidence that the breakdown of the material produces oligosaccharide fragments that can promote chronic wound healing.

Problems solved by technology

However, certain difficulties remain.
For example, collagen as a component of wound dressings is prone to denaturation when it is sterilized by gamma-irradiation.
Collagen is extracted from natural sources and can be antigenic to certain patients unless stringent measures are taken to purify the collagen, which add to its cost.

llagen / Fibrous ORC Sponge

[0064]A freeze-dried collagen / ORC sponge is prepared as follows.

[0065]First, the collagen component is prepared from bovine corium as follows. Bovine corium is split from cow hide, scraped and soaked in sodium hypochlorite solution (0.03% w / v) to inhibit microbial activity pending further processing. The corium is then washed with water and treated with a solution containing sodium hydroxide (0.2% w / v) and hydrogen peroxide (0.02% w / v) to swell and sterilize the corium at ambient temperature. The corium splits then undergo an alkali treatment step in a solution containing sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate (0.4% w / v, 0.6% w / v and 0.05% w / v, respectively) at pH greater than 12.2, ambient temperature, and for a time of 10-14 days, with tumbling, until an amide nitrogen level less than 0.24 mmol / g is reached. The corium splits then undergo an acid treatment step with 1% hydrochloric acid at ambient temperature and pH 0.8-1.2. The treatme...

lginate / Fibrous ORC Sponge

[0069]An alginate / fibrous ORC sponge was prepared as described in Reference Example 1, but with replacement of the collagen by an equal weight fraction of alginate

[0070]Sodium alginate was obtained from Pronova Biomedical in a powdered form. The powder was dissolved in ice cold water at a concentration of 2% w / v by mixing with a paddle stirrer. The solution was then diluted to 1% solids by the addition of an equal volume of 0.1 M acetic acid. A known weight of the sodium alginate solution was then added to the ORC to give a final ratio of 45%ORC / 55% sodium alginate in the final material. The sponges were then prepared as in example 1.

aluronate / Fibrous ORC Sponge

[0071]A hyaluronate / fibrous ORC sponge was prepared as described in Reference Example 1, but with replacement of the collagen by an equal weight fraction of alginate.

[0072]Sodium Hyaluronate with an average molecular weight distribution of 500,000 daltons was obtained from Lifecore Biomedical Inc. in a powdered form. The powder was dissolved in ice cold water at a 2% w / v concentration with mixing overnight. A known weight of the sodium hyaluronate solution was then added to the ORC to give a final ratio of 45%ORC / 55% sodium hyaluronate in the final material. The sponges were then prepared as in example 1.

Abstract

A wound dressing composition comprising a chitosan and an oxidized cellulose. For example, the composition may be in the form of a sponge formed by freeze drying an aqueous dispersion of chitosan and oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC). The composition is especially suitable for the treatment of chronic wounds.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 528,262, filed Nov. 18, 2005, which is a 371 application of PCT Application No. PCT / GB2003 / 004019, entitled “Compositions For Wound Treatment,” filed Sep. 17, 2003, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to compositions comprising an oxidized cellulose and a chitosan, and the uses thereof for wound healing.BACKGROUND[0003]Oxidized cellulose is produced by the oxidation of cellulose, for example with dinitrogen tetroxide. This process converts primary alcohol groups on the saccharide residues to carboxylic acid group, forming uronic acid residues within the cellulose chain. The oxidation does not proceed with complete selectivity, and as a result hydroxyl groups on carbons 2 and 3 are occasionally converted to the keto form. These ketone units introduce an alkali labile link, which at pH 7 or higher initiates the de...
