IN-SITU FILMING COMPOSITION

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of European Patent Application 21382413.9 filed on 07.05.2021.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of film forming compositions; particularly to in-situ adherent film forming compositions after their application onto a surface to be filmed; and the in-situ adherent film thus obtained. It also relates to processes for their preparation as well as to their uses as drug delivery systems, dressing or fixation agent.Background Art

[0003] Film-forming compositions have been widely disclosed in the state of the art for personal and healthcare applications, and as drug delivery systems. These compositions upon contact with a surface (such as skin / hair / nail) rapidly create a film appropriate for curing or allevating skin / hair / nail diseases or conditions. The way of forming the films implies firstly, mixing the components and secondly, applying the mixture thus obtained onto the desired surface to be filmed. However, this method has some disadvantages, such as for example the fact that the user must be skilled to ensure adequate mixing of the appropriate amounts of the components and also the subsequent application of the appropriate amount of the mixed formulation to the surface. Further, this method can also be complicated to perform, due to the handling of the different components of the composition and their subsequent application, as well as the accuracy of the measurement of the amounts of the ingredients and final composition.

[0004] Thus, ready-to-use hydrocolloids films (dressings) have been developed for overcoming the problems mentioned above. These films are attached to a protecting layer that has to be released before its used / application in the target / injured surface. However, these dressings have still some disadvantages related to their adhesive properties. In fact, the use mode recommends warming up the dressings before use to ensure an approppriate adherence to the surface. Unfortunately, even the previous warming, the edges of the dressing remain still lifted, which means that they can be adhered to other surface (such as clothes) or get dirty from the common use (such as with water, sand and / or dust).

[0005] Due to this fact, compositions capable of in-situ forming films onto appropriate surfaces have been developed. In particular, liquid plastic compositions dissolved in organic solvents have been disclosed in the state of the art for forming in-situ films (dressings) onto the skin surface. When such liquid compositions are applied onto the skin, the solvents evaporate, and the film (dressing) is in-situ created remaining on the target / injured surface without the need to be handled by the user. These compositions are commonly use in form of spray or brush-painting. However, these compositions have some drawbacks. On one hand, the presence of organic solvents (such as ethylacetate) that promote the formation and dryness of the film, commonly cause disconfort (i.e. pain / stinging) and skin irritation (dermatitis) during the application compromising the appropriate formation of the film. On the other hand, the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the plastic compositions forming part of the composition limit the addition of further active ingredients into the composition, such as antibiotics, antiinflammatory or anticoagulant active ingredients that can avoid / reduce (over)infeccion and / or can accelarate the curative process of the injured surface. Besides, some of these plastic compositions contain ingredients such as film-forming and / or stabilizing agents (i.e.silicones, pthalates) not recommended or, even worst, banned by health authorities due to their demonstrated toxicity.

[0006] Related prior art documents are US2018 / 000858A1, WO2017 / 030555A1, US7842749B2, WO2007 / 005029A2, and Demircan Bahar et al., "Effects of lemon essential oil and ethyl lauroyl arginate on the physico-chemical and mechanical properties of chitosan films for mackerel fillet coating application", J. of Food Measurement and Characterization, vol. 15, no. 2, p. 1499-1508 (2020).

[0007] Thus, from what is known in the art it is derived that there is still the need of developing a composition capable of forming an in-situ adherent film in a short period of time without causing discomfort to the user or irritation to the skin and having good physical properties (such as stability, flexibility, and permeability / transpiration) complying at the same time the strict requirements of health authorities.Summary of Invention

[0008] Inventors have found that a composition comprising a combination of one or more film forming agents and one or more disinfectants dissolved in a solvent system that comprises the combination of one or more water inmiscible solvents selected from the group consisting of (C 1 -C 6 )alkyl-CO-O-(C 1 -C 6 )alkyl, ((C 1 -C 6 )alkyl) 3 Si-O-Si((C 1 -C 6 )alkyl) 3 , (C 1 -C 5 )alkyl-O-(C 2 -C 5 )alkyl and a mixture thereof; acetone; and one or more (C 2 -C 3 ) alcohols is capable of forming an in-situ homogeneous, adherent and biocompatible film onto a suitable surface having appropriate physical and mechanical properties as well as the suitable disinfectant activity (in particular, antimicrobial and antifungal activity) for being used as biocompatible dressing or biocompatible fixation agent. Furthermore, the composition of the invention includes only gentle components that comply with the requirements of health authorities without the need of phthalates or latex containing compounds.

[0009] As it is demonstrated in the experimental section, the composition of the invention is stable and non-corrosive at the commonly used temperature and relative humidity of the manufacturing process and storage in the conditionning packages (such as pressurized and non-presurrized spray containers). This is advantageous because the compositions of the invention can be storaged without particular restrictions (for example without the need to store in a refrigerator) but also because are ease to handle (for example can be easily kept on hand in case of travelling) allowing a safer and more convenient use; and therefore, costless.

[0010] Furthermore, the composition of the invention can be easily applied by any method known in the art, such as for example spraying or brushing it onto the target surface. When the surface is a tissue, such as skin, its application does not cause disconfort (without pain and without itching or stinging on not injured skin) and / or irritation (dermatitis) of the filmed area. This is advantageous because it is appropriate for all types of tissues, and particularly all types of skins including children's skin and / or sensitive skin (having at the same time a not unpleasant smell. Furthermore, when it is applied the composition dries quickly, in case of being applied on the skin, it does not cause its dehydration due to its capacity of forming a protective film that instantly relieves pain and prevents friction, while creating an optimal environment to allow rapid regenaration of the skin, if needed; and at the same time maintaining the appropriate permeability / transpiration. In fact, the composition of the invention allows forming an in-situ adherent film with appropriate light stability and physico- and mechanical properties. It is demonstrated that the in-situ adherent film maintains its integrity even of being exposed to high level of lateral movement, twisting force, and great pressures. Furthermore, as it is demonstrated in the experimental section, the in-situ adherent film of the present invention allows perspiration of the skin without compromising the impermeability of the film to water. In fact, the adherent film of the invention is permeable to steam and humidity but impermeable to water having light protecting efect, thus preventing maceration of the treated area allowing at the same time bathing and personal hygiene. Therefore, the in-situ film obtained by the application of the present invention acts like a second skin.

[0011] Besides, the application of the composition of the present invention onto a tissue, such as skin, prevent its injurance. In fact, the adherent film of the present application applied to non-injured skin allows preventing wound skin, burn skin, skin blisters, skin chafing and sunlight damage prevention among others.

[0012] On the other hand, due to the high adherence properties, the composition of the present invention is also useful as in-situ film fixation agent. It means that the in-situ film obtained by the application of the composition of the invention is appropriate as fixing agent, either between tissues or between tissues and medical / surgical material such as for example the fixation of cathethers to the skin.

[0013] Therefore, to sum up, the inventors have found that the composition of the invention is capable of being used as film-forming agent, particularly as in-situ film forming agent. In fact, the film formed in situ by the application of the composition of the present invention is appropriate as biocompatible dressing having the function of a second skin, as biocompatible fixing agent or as drug delivery device.

[0143] The method for calculating the amount of LAE consists of a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of the tested sample previously sprayed into a container (glass flask) and dried into a rotary evaporator. The exact and constant weight of the residue is determined. This residue is dissolved in Acetonitrile and doped with a known volume solution of a solution f the internal pattern (Dodine, commercially available) in a known concentration. Then it is stirred and then, pure water at pH 3-4 (acidified with HCl) is added still flushing, this allows precipitating the polymer. The supernatant is filtered and punctured by LC-MS.Equipment LC-MC:

Results: The results observed for all tested compositions were satisfactory and all met the acceptance criteria, reducing the population almost entirely 3.1.2. Microbiological Halos of Inhibition Testing

[0148] Samples: This study was performed with the compositions of the present invention (Examples 1 and 2) (examples 4 and 5 are reference examples) and the comparative Example 1 (nobecutan) Method: The method used was based on the method from Ph. Eur. (10.4) 2.7.2 Microbiological Assay of Antibiotics wherein the test sample (200ml) was introduced in a well within a seed layer with 10 cfu / ml of test. The incubation conditions are detailed herein below. The bacterial strains were incubated 24 h at 37 ± 1 °C in Tryptone Soya Agar; the yeast strains were incubated 24 h at 30 ± 1 °C in Sabouraud Dextrose Agar; and the Mold strains were incubated 72 h at 30 ± 1 °C in Sabouraud Dextrose Agar.

[0149] The strains used in the present test are listed herein below: Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 Escherichia coli ATCC 8739 Candida albicans ATCC 10231 Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404

[0150] Results: the Halos of Inhibition of each composition is expressed in mm in the following Table: Strains Composition Comparative Example 1Composition 1Composition 2Composition 4Composition 5Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 90271123202323Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538915141921Escherichia coli ATCC 87391114142020Candida albicans ATCC 102311322141617Aspergillus brasiliensis ATCC 16404015101112

[0151] As it is show in the Table Above, the compositions of the invention has a higher desinfectant (biocide) activity than the comparative composition. In fact, it is observed a higher biocide effect in all the tested strains even with Aspergillus brasiliensis.4. Drying speed Test

[0152] Sample: This study was performed with the compositions of Examples 1-3 of the present invention (examples 4 and 5 are reference examples) and the comparative Example 1 (Nobecutan).

[0153] Method: The method involved the application of the tested compositions onto skin of volunteers by the application of the non-pressurized sprays 1'-5' comprising the compositions of Examples 1-5 respectively (compositions 4 and 5; pressurized sprays 4 and 5; and non-pressurized sprays 4 and 5 are reference examples), the pressurized spray composition 1 of the present invention comprising the composition of Example 1 or the comparative pressurized spray 1 comprising comparative composition 1 and propellant mixture and non-pressurized spray 1' comprising comparative composition 1 without propellant mixture.

[0154] Results: the drying speed of the tested compositions is summarized herein below: Composition Drying speed (t) Non-pressurized sprayComparative Spray 1'2 minComparative composition Example 1Spray 1'2 min 30 sComposition 1Spray 2'3 minComposition 2Spray 3'3 minComposition 3Spray 4'3 minComposition 4Spray 5'3 minComposition 5Pressurized sprayComparative Spray 11min 15sComparative composition Example 1Spray 11min 30sComposition 1

[0155] As it is ahown in Table below, the composition of the present invention has a comparable drying speed as the commercial comparative composition (Nobecutan).5. Cutaneous permeability Test

[0156] The pressurized spray 1 comprising the composition 1 of the present invention was pulverized onto a surface until having a film of 0.1mm of thickness. The film thus obtained was then applied to a Payne cup containing distilled water. The cup containing the distilled water was then carefully weighed twice a day during a period of 24hours. After approximately 24 hours, the evaporation of water per diem was constant and the diffusion through the film in mg / cm 2< during 24h was calculated.

[0157] In particular, the adherent film of 0.1mm of thickness obtained after application of the composition of Example 1 of the present invention allows for the diffusion of 65mg of vapor per square centimeter through the film during a period of 24hours.

[0158] Therefore, it is demonstrated that the in-situ adherent film of the present invention allows perspiration of the skin without compromising the impermeability of the film to water. In fact, the adherent film of the invention is permeable to steam and humidity but impermeable to water, thus preventing maceration of the treated area allowing at the same time bathing and personal hygiene.6. Fracture Resistance Test

[0159] Spraying a previously tared aluminum plate (P1) with a sufficient amount of the composition of Example 1 of the present invention until obtained the adherent film of the invention and dry (by evaporation of the solvents) until contant weight in a vacuum oven at 40°C for 20 min. Then, left temper and weigh the aluminum plate with the film (P2).

[0160] Repeat the evaporation operation for another 20 minutes and once tempered, weigh again the aluminium plate with the film (P3). The difference in recorded residue weights between the beginning and the end of the last evaporation / tempering cycle (PR1 and PR2) must be less than 0.5% of the lowest recorded weight, otherwise another evaporation / tempering cycle must be carried outed until meeting the above-mentioned requirement. The difference is calclated using the following formula: % ΔP = P R 2 − P R 1 P R 2 × 100 wherein: P 1 (g): Aluminum plate weight. P 2 (g): Aluminum plate weight + weight of the film previous the last evaporation / tempering cycle P 3 (g): Aluminum plate weight + weight of the film after the last evaporation / tempering cycle P R1 (g) = P 2 - P 1 : weight of the film previous the last evaporation / tempering cycle P R2 (g) = P 3 - P 1 : weight of the film after the last evaporation / tempering cycle %ΔP = weight lost percentage of the film between P R2 and P R1

[0161] Then, the elasticity and malleability of the last dried film obtained in previous test was measured. In fact, the dried film was taken between two tweezers and it was stretched from both tweezers with opposite forces outwards to cause the deformation of the film. This test demonstrated that the adherent film of the present invention is solid (it stretches but without brittle), elastic, deformable and capable of adapting the shape without being rigid,Citation List
