Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to compositions for Safe and Effective regression of Spongiform Pustule. In particular, the present invention relates to compositions for safe and effective regression of Spongiform Pustule in Psoriatic Lesions.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE BACKGROUND ART

The epidermis of the skin is a non-vascularized layer of the skin. Different factors can result in increased blood vessel formation in the papillary dermis and these blood vessels may sometimes extend into the epidermis resulting in clinically significant skin manifestations. For example, over activated keratinocytes actively producing and secreting pro-angiogenic factors in the form of growth factors or cytokines can result in increased blood vessel formation in the papillary dermis which may sometime extend into the epidermis. Epidermal microvascular proliferation ultimately leads to epidermal keratinocyte hyperproliferation, thickening of the epidermis with parakeratosis of the stratum corneum and inflammatory infiltrate around the blood vessels in the papillary dermis [see FIG. 1]. The microvascular changes are also characterized by increased tortuosity of dermal capillary loops which precedes the development of epidermal hyperplasia. Mitotic activity in the basal and suprabasal cells are greatly increased [Dr. George Jacob, Seminar on Psoriasis, Dubai, January 2001]. Cellular invasion takes place, particularly in the suprapapillary region to form the Munro ‘micro abscess’ which are extruded in the horny layer or they may collect in disintegrated malphigian cells, the cytoplasm of which had been lysed to form the multilocular or spongiform pustule of Kogoj [see FIG. 2]. Spongiform pustules of Kagoj are multilocular pustules in the upper stratum malpighii within a sponge-like network made up of flattened keratinocytes [M. S. Stone and T. L. Ray, DermPath Tutor, Department of Dermatology, Iowa College of Medicine, September 1995]. They are seen in psoriasis, Reiter's disease, geographical tongue and rarely in candidiasis. Histological studies, including immunocytochemistry, routine histology and electron microscopy have clearly established that alterations in the blood vessel formation of the skin discussed above are a prominent feature of psoriasis and there is a marked increase in cutaneous blood active edge of the psoriatic plaque [Braverman I M, Yen A. Ultrastructure of the capillary loops in the dermal papillae of psoriasis. J Invest Dermatol 1977: 68: 53-60].

Numerous therapies in the field of allopathy medicine [Treatment of psoriasis-Part 1-Topical Therapy and Phototherapy, Mark Lebwohl, MD, et al, American Academy of Dermatology—October 2001—Vol 45—November—4; Treatment of psoriasis—part 2—systemic Therapies, Mark Lebwohl, MD, et al—American Academy of Dermatology—November 2001—Vol 45—Number 5; The immunological basis for the treatment of psoriasis with new biological agents. James. G. krueger, M.D, American Academy of Dermatology—June 2002—Vol 46, Number 1, Pages 1-26; New psoriasis Treatments based upon a deeper understanding of the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris and psoriatic arthritis—Jeffrey. P. callen et al American Academy of dermatology, August 2003—Vol 49, Number 5, Pages 351-356] have been researched and developed to reduce the Spongiform Pustule especially related to Psoriasis. However, most of these therapies provide only temporary symptomatic relief and are either unsatisfactory or very expensive [National Psoriasis Conference, Boston Plaza Hotel, August 5-8, 2005, Boston, Mass., USA.] and are associated with either short term or long term undesired side effect profiles. Herbal formulations are well known to minimize risk of undesired side effect profiles and hence provide a viable alternative therapy to manage this disease condition. Research efforts to develop Herbal formulations to treat this disease condition have been on the rise [Chopra, R. N., Nayar, S. C., and Chopra I. C., Glossary of Indian Medicinal Plants, C.S.I.R., P. 259,1956; Murugesa Mudaliar, K. S., Gunapadam (Material Medica) Vegetable Section, Govt. of TamilNadu, P. 527 (1969); Venkatarajan, S., Sarabendra Vaithiya Muraigal, P. 160, 161 & 167 (1965); Wealth of India, Raw Materials, Vol. X, P. 588-590, CSIR., New Delhi (1976); Yugimuni Vaidya Chintamani (800) Stanza 494-518, B.

B., Geetha, A., and Ramiah, N., Effect of Nimbidin in Psoriasis, Indian Medical Journal, October 1978] and there is a continuing need to develop Herbal formulations to treat this disease condition with minimal or no side effects. This patent provides Herbal formulations from Wrightia Tinctoria and Cocos Nucifera developed by a dermatologist and clinically proven to be safe and efficacious to reduce Spongiform Pustule.

Randomization was done as per standard statistical methods to minimize bias in the study. Patients were enrolled into the study on a first come first served basis and assigned a subject number sequentially. The assignment of each patient to the treatment group was determined by the randomization list provided by the statistician.

Each patient enrolled in the study voluntarily and received the treatment for 8 weeks. Skin Biopsies at the treatment site was taken from all patients at the beginning (T0) and end of the study (T8w) for Histopathological evaluation. In addition, at the beginning (T0), end of treatment (T8w) Haemogram analysis, Liver Function Testing and Renal Function Testing were done to document the safety profile of the treatments administered.

Histopathology of the skin biopsy was done by an expert pathologist and the Spongiform Pustule parameter was measured at visits T₀ and T_8W. The results of the Spongiform Pustule measurements were scored as follows: (+)=3 representing Heavy Infiltrate; (±)=2 representing moderate Infiltrate; and (−)=1 representing Mild Infiltrate. Spongiform Pustule parameter represents the Severity of Infiltration in the epidermal cells. More active the disease more severe the degree of infiltration.

FIG. 3 presents photos of micrographs observed before and after treatment with patients treated for 8 weeks with the Herbal formulation presented in this invention.

It is clear from the photographs that the treatment with The Herbal formulation is very effective in regressing the Spongiform Pustules and clearing of the dermal infiltrate as compared to prior to the start of treatment.

Results of the statistical analysis of the Spongiform Pustule measurement data for the 2 different groups of treatment are presented below in Table 3. A p-value of 0.05 is considered to be significant.

To examine the treatment effects, t-test was done with data between the two groups at the beginning and end of treatment. No statistical significance was observed (p>0.05) for treatment effects on the Spongiform Pustule measurements at the beginning (p=0.388) and the end of treatment (no difference in values between treatments).

To examine the time effects within each group, paired t-test was done with data at the beginning and end of treatment within each group. With the Herbal Group, there was a statistically significant time effect (p-values equal to 0.015) on the Spongiform Pustule measurements and it was found that the Spongiform Pustule values decreased with time suggesting positive response to Herbal treatment with time.

However, with the Allopathy Control (Group II), it was found that there was no statistically significant time effect for the Allopathy control formulation (p-value equal to 0.081).

The statistical data analysis clearly indicates that the Herbal treatment for regression of Spongiform Pustule is very safe and Effective and is superior to the allopathy control formulation.

The safety of the use of the Herbal Formulation of the present invention for regression of Spongiform Pustule over the treatment period was evaluated by measuring Vital signs, Haemogram measurements, Liver function Test (LFT) measurements, and Renal Function Test (RFT) measurements and analyzing the data as a function of time. Vital signs were measured 6 times during treatment (T0, T1w, T2w, T4w, T6w, and T8w); Haemogram, LFT and RFT measurements were made only at the beginning and end of the treatment (T0, T8w).

Results of the Statistical analysis of the Vital Sign measurements (Systolic and Diastolic BP, pulse rate and respiratory measurements) are presented in Table 4. BP was measured using a manual mercury sphygmomometer and the unit of measurement is mm of Hg. Pulse rate was measured (beats per minute) in the radial artery by palpating the artery with the middle, index and ring finger. Respiratory rate was measured by watching the expansion of abdomen with each respiration and counting them for one minute.
