AI Technical Summary
Existing treatments for mucous membranes and wounds, such as iodophores and cationic antimicrobial agents, are limited by allergies, sensitizations, iodine absorption, and ineffectiveness against fungi, particularly yeasts, with octenidine-containing preparations risking necrosis in deeper wounds.
An aqueous composition containing a dihydrotriazine compound, optionally in the form of a salt or tautomer, combined with a defoamer, provides improved efficacy against fungi and reduced foaming, suitable for treating mucous membranes and wounds.
The composition effectively prevents and treats infections and infectious diseases caused by fungi, particularly yeasts, with reduced irritation and foaming, enhancing wound care efficacy and safety.
Description
FIELD OF APPLICATION AND STATE OF THE ART
[0001] The invention relates to an aqueous composition which is particularly suitable for the treatment of mucous membranes and / or wounds.
[0002] For the treatment of mucous membranes and wounds, iodine-containing products have become established. These contain iodine in the form of iodophores, such as povidone-iodine. These are characterized by good tolerability. Due to possible allergies and sensitizations, as well as the known absorption of iodine by the body, the use of these agents is limited.
[0003] For this reason, products containing cationic antimicrobial agents have been proposed.
[0004] An aqueous composition containing polyhexamethylene biguanide, which can be in particular in the form of a wound irrigation solution or a wound gel, is known from WO 03 / 004013 A1.
[0005] The subject of DE 102 05 883 A1 is an aqueous antiseptic based on bispyridinium alkanes.
[0006] WO 2007 / 031520 A2 relates to the use of octenidine dihydrochloride for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition for, inter alia, the treatment of wounds.
[0007] EP 1 574 503 A1 discloses antibacterial dihydrotriazine compounds.
[0008] Thompson PE et al.: ("STUDIES ON A DIHYDROTRIAZINE AND A SULFONE, ALONE AND IN COMBINATION, AGAINST PLASMODIUM BERGHEI IN MICE", American Journal of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene, Vol. 14, March 1, 1965, pp. 198-206) discloses dihydrotriazine compounds for the treatment of malaria.
[0009] Conventional agents have the disadvantage that they have gaps in their effectiveness against fungi, especially yeasts.
[0010] An octenidine-containing preparation called Octenisept is available. While it has good mucosal tolerance, it can lead to intolerance and even necrosis when used in deeper wounds. This has been published, among other things, by the German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices: (https: / / www.bfarm.de / SharedDocs / Riskinformation / Pharmakovigilanz / DE / RHB / 201 1 / rhboctenisept.html ).
[0011] An octenidine-containing composition is known from EP 0 411 315 A1. TASK AND SOLUTION

In particular, the proportions disclosed in this paragraph for the dihydrotriazine compound or the tautomer thereof or the salt thereof have proven particularly advantageous with regard to the prevention or treatment of mucous membranes and / or wounds and / or infections and / or infectious diseases, in particular wounds and / or infections and / or infectious diseases caused or co-caused by fungi, in particular yeasts.
[0058] In a further embodiment of the invention, the defoamer is selected from the group consisting of alkylamide, silicone, poloxamer and combinations, in particular mixtures, of at least two of the said defoamers.
[0059] The alkylamide can in particular be an alkylamide of the formula R 1 -NH-R 2, where R 1 is n-octyl, iso-octyl, or 2-ethylhexyl and R 2 is n- or iso-octane, n- or isononane, or n- or isodecane. According to the invention, the alkylamide can also be a combination, in particular a mixture, of at least two corresponding alkylamides.
[0060] The silicone may be a polydimethylsiloxane, polyether siloxane (siloxane-polyethylene glycol or siloxane-polypropylene glycol), 3D-modified siloxane, also called crosslink siloxane, or a combination, in particular a mixture, of at least two of the silicones mentioned.
[0061] The poloxamer preferably has 2 to 130 structural units -CH 2 -CH 2 -O- and / or 15 to 67 structural units -CHCH 3 -CH 2 -O- per molecule.
[0062] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "poloxamer" is understood to mean a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
[0063] In particular, the poloxamer may be poloxamer 407, poloxamer 188 or a combination, in particular a mixture, thereof.
[0064] Furthermore, the defoamer can be a combination, in particular a mixture, of an alkylamide and a silicone. Such a combination of defoamers is particularly advantageous with regard to suppressing or attenuating foam formation of the dihydrazine compound or the tautomer thereof or the salt thereof. In this case, the alkylamide can have a proportion, in particular active proportion, of 0.0001 wt.% to 0.1 wt.%, in particular 0.0005 wt.% to 0.05 wt.%, preferably 0.001 wt.% to 0.05 wt.%, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition, and the silicone can have a proportion, in particular active proportion, of 0.00001 wt.% to 0.01 wt.%, in particular 0.00002 wt.% to 0.005 wt.%, preferably 0.00005 wt.% to 0.005 wt.%, based on the total weight of the aqueous composition.

In particular, the defoamer proportions disclosed in this paragraph have proven particularly advantageous with regard to suppressing or reducing foam formation attributable to the dihydrotriazine compound of general formula I or the tautomer thereof or the salt thereof.
[0066] In a further embodiment of the invention, the aqueous composition further comprises a surfactant, in particular non-ionic surfactant and / or zwitterionic surfactant, with the proviso that the surfactant, in particular non-ionic surfactant and / or zwitterionic surfactant, and the defoamer are selected to be different from one another, ie they represent different compounds.
[0067] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "nonionic surfactant" refers to a surfactant which does not contain any dissociable functional groups and therefore does not separate into ions in water or an aqueous liquid.
[0068] A non-ionic or zwitterionic surfactant has the particular advantage that there are no or few interactions with the dihydrotriazine compound and that it is also very well tolerated by mucous membranes and wounds.
[0069] The nonionic surfactant is preferably selected from the group consisting of poloxamer, fatty alcohol alkoxylate such as fatty alcohol ethoxylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, alkyl polyglucoside, and combinations, in particular mixtures, of at least two of the nonionic surfactants mentioned. The nonionic surfactants mentioned in this paragraph and described in more detail below have proven particularly suitable for reducing or avoiding the irritation potential of the dihydrotriazine compound of general formula I or the tautomer thereof or the salt thereof, which is detrimental from a wound therapy perspective.
[0070] The poloxamer preferably has 2 to 130 structural units -CH 2 -CH 2 -O- and / or 15 to 67 structural units -CHCH 3 -CH 2 -O- per molecule.
[0071] The poloxamer may in particular be poloxamer 407, poloxamer 188 or a combination, in particular a mixture, thereof.
[0072] The use of a poloxamer as a surfactant may be particularly preferred according to the invention, since poloxamers, in addition to surfactant properties, also possess foam-suppressing or foam-reducing properties and / or emulsifying properties. This particularly advantageously allows foam formation attributable to the dihydrotriazine compound of general formula I or the tautomer thereof or the salt thereof to be additionally suppressed, mitigated, or suppressed, and / or a homogeneous distribution of the defoamer within the aqueous composition to be achieved or improved.
[0073] The use of polyvinylpyrrolidone as a surfactant may also be particularly preferred according to the invention, since this surfactant possesses emulsifying properties in addition to its surfactant properties. The advantages mentioned in the previous paragraph apply accordingly.
[0074] In addition, the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone has the advantage that it can bind water and thus act as a viscosity regulator.
[0075] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "fatty alcohol alkoxylate" refers to a nonionic surfactant whose lipophilic moiety comprises or consists of a fatty alcohol and whose hydrophilic moiety comprises or consists of a polyalkylene glycol, in particular short-chain polyalkylene glycol. The fatty alcohol can be, in particular, an alcohol derived from caprylic, capric, lauric, palmitic, stearic, or oleic acid, or branched isononyl, isundecyl, isotridecyl, isopentadecyl, or isononadecyl alcohols.
