Problems solved by technology

Formulation of skin cleaning compositions containing conventional antiseptic agents has been problematical due to incompatibilities resulting from (1) destruction of the activity of said antiseptic agents, (2) phase incompatibility of said antiseptic agents, (3) long-term stability of said antiseptic agents in highly detergent compositions, and (4) achieving acceptable organoleptic properties.
None of the previous applications involve disinfecting environments which are viscous and / or contain high concentrations of surface active agents required for a useful disinfecting epidermal cleaner.

example 1

Component A, the peroxidase containing component, consisted of 0.4 mg / ml of Sigma Type I peroxidase, 4 mg / ml acetylated BSA, 2 mg / ml sodium iodide, 0.2 mg / ml calcium chloride, 1 mM tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (pH 7.2), and 20% glycerol. Component B, the peroxide containing component, consisted of 0.0038% hydrogen peroxide, 2.5% sodium lauryl sulfate, 0.125 mg / ml ethylenediaminetetraacetic and 0.125 mg / ml of sorbic acid. Four ml of component B was added to 1 ml of several phosphate buffers each of which was 0.4 molar. The pH of the 0.4 molar phosphate buffers was 4.0, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5.

Cultures of Listeria selegeri, E. coli, and Salmonella typhimurium were spun down in a clinical centrifuge and washed in normal saline. Equal volumes of component A (1 ml) and component B (1 ml) were added to 1 ml of these bacterial suspensions and mixed. Aliquots were withdrawn every 20 seconds and diluted in 10 mg / ml sodium fluoride. Serial dilutions of each time point were made and the CFU per m...

Component A, the peroxidase containing component, consisted of 1.0 mg / ml of Sigma Type I peroxidase, 30% sucrose, 6 mg / ml sodium iodide, 1.0 mg / ml calcium chloride, 5 mM tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (pH 7.5), and 4 mg / ml sodium chloride. Component B, the peroxide containing component, consisted of 0.0030% hydrogen peroxide, 1.0% cetyl alcohol, and 1.0% .[.Brij-35.]. .Iadd.BRIJ-35. .Iaddend.Four ml of component B was added to 1 ml of several phosphate buffers each of which was 0.3 molar. The pH of the 0.3M phosphate buffers was 4.0, 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5.

Cultures of Staphlococcus aureus, Staphlococcus epidermitis, and Salmonella typhimurium and Listeria selegeri were spun down in a clinical centrifuge and washed in normal saline Equal volumes of component A (1 ml) and component B (1 ml) were added to 1 ml of these bacterial suspensions and mixed. Aliquots were withdrawn every 20 seconds and diluted in 10 mg / ml sodium fluoride. Serial dilutions of each time point were made and the CFU ...

example 3

The effect of pH between 2 0 and 7.0 on the inactivation of Aspergillus fumigatis with a disinfecting epidermal skin cleaner was examined. The peroxidase component (component A) contained 1.0 mg / ml of sodium iodide, 20.0 percent glycerol, 5.0 mg / ml of sodium chloride, 1.1 mg / ml of calcium chloride, 0.5 mg / ml of peroxidase (Sigma Type I) in 10 mM tris-(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane. The peroxide component (component B) contained 0.03 percent hydrogen peroxide, 1.0 mg / ml of ethylenediaminetetraacetic, and 1.8 percent of sodium-lauryl-sulfate in water. Immediately prior to use, component B was mixed with 0.20 mol / L buffers which had been equilibrated at the desired pH values. For a pH value in the disinfecting admixture of 7.0, 6.5, and 6.0, sodium phosphate was used as the buffer for mixture with component B. For a pH value in the disinfecting admixture of 5.0, and 4.0, citric acid - sodium phthalate was used as the buffer for mixture with component B. For a pH value in the disinfecting ...

Abstract

This invention relates to a disinfecting epidermal cleaner using peroxidase, peroxide and iodide. The active components are maintained inactive until admixed in a [define] defined proportion with water. The pH at which the peroxidase is stored is between 7.0 and 9.0 and the pH of the admixture of the active components is between 3.0 and 6.5.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThis invention describes an epidermal cleaner for disinfecting pathogens on the surface of the skin which incorporates peroxidase, a source of peroxide and iodide to cause antiseptic disinfection in the presence of water.The term "pathogen" is intended, for purposes of the present application, to specifically include bacteria and fungi, as well as other organisms, if present, particularly viruses and mycobacterium tuberculosis.The epidermal cleaner is a viscous emollient formulation with a high concentration of surface active agents.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONLiquid skin cleaners contain a variety of surface active agents which perform several functions. These compositions generally contain surfactants, lathering agent(s), thickening agents, humectants and foam stabilizers. A disinfecting skin cleaner also contains antiseptic agents in combination with many or all of the preceding agents. The most commonly used antiseptic agents in disinfecting soaps are povidi...
