Description
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention provides for a topical antibiotic composition (e.g., first aid topical antibiotic ointment) that includes (a) at least one of bacitracin, bacitracin zinc, neomycin, neomycin sulfate, tetracycline, tetracycline hydrochloride, and polymyxin b sulfate; (b) at least one of a cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid; and (c) one or more pharmaceutically acceptable topical excipients (e.g., solvent, emulsifier, thickening agent, and/or emollient).


The present invention provides for a topical antibiotic composition (e.g., first aid topical antibiotic ointment) that includes (a) at least one of bacitracin, bacitracin zinc, neomycin, neomycin sulfate, tetracycline, tetracycline hydrochloride, and polymyxin b sulfate; (b) at least one of a cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid; and (c) at least one of petrolatum, white petrolatum, hard paraffin, liquid paraffin, and white soft paraffin.


The present invention also provides for a method that includes topically administering to a skin surface of a subject (e.g., human at least 2 years of age) the topical composition described herein.


The present invention also provides for a method that includes topically administering to a skin surface of a subject (e.g., human at least 2 years of age) the topical composition described herein to treat, prevent infection, ameliorate, or manage at least one of: (i) minor cuts, (ii) scrapes, (iii) burns.


The present invention also provides for a method that includes topically administering to a skin surface of a subject (e.g., human at least 2 years of age) the topical composition described herein to: prevent infection and for the temporary relief of pain or discomfort due to at least one of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, in need thereof the topical antibiotic.







DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Compositions of the present invention may be beneficial in preventing, treating, managing, and/or ameliorating a variety of skin wounds. Specifically, the compositions may be beneficial in preventing, treating, managing, and/or ameliorating at least one of: (i) minor cuts, (ii) scrapes, (iii) burns. More specifically, the compositions may be beneficial to prevent infection and for the temporary relief of pain or discomfort due to at least one of minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, in need thereof the topical antibiotic.


The compositions of the present invention include at least one of a cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid. Without wishing to be limited to any particular theory, it is currently believed that the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid provides stability to the composition, which serves to prevent phase separation of an aqueous and a lipid phase in the composition at elevated temperatures (e.g. temperatures of more than about 25° C.), which might promote improved or prolonged contact to the skin, resulting in the observed increased retention times of the active(s) in the dermis and epidermis.


Across multiple topical dosage forms (e.g., creams, gels, lotions, ointments, foams, etc.) the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid can be present in an amount, such that it exhibits activity as an active ingredient for the intended purpose (e.g., minor cuts or scrapes). In doing so, the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid may further have a synergistic effect with the active ingredient(s) present therein. In other aspects, the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid can be present in sub-therapeutic amounts.


It is currently believed that the topical use of the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid provides additional benefits, which include: smoothing skin, strengthening underlying epidermal tissue, removing dead skin cells, balancing oil production, and helping the skin retain moisture levels. It is further believed that the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid helps cleanse and moisturize the skin. Healthy skin is just like any other organ in your body: It continuously needs oxygen and nutrients to be brought to the cells, and toxins need to be washed away. It is further believed that the cannabinoid, terpene, and/or flavonoid contributes to the optimal skin health while leaving skin feeling and looking youthful.


It is also currently believed that some consumers have a preference to use a topical skin product that is environmentally friendly to produce and includes fewer toxic chemicals that are otherwise put into the environment when creating topical skin products. Inclusion of substances, such as cannabinoids and terpenes (which are natural products), are viable options for such consumers.


Definitions

As used herein, “ointment” refers to a homogeneous, viscous, semi-solid preparation, most commonly a greasy, thick oil (oil 80%-water 20%) with a high viscosity, that is intended for external application to the skin or mucous membranes. They are used as emollients or for the application of active ingredients to the skin for protective, therapeutic, or prophylactic purposes and where a degree of occlusion is desired.


Ointments are usually very moisturizing, and good for dry skin. They have a low risk of sensitization due to having few ingredients beyond the base oil or fat, and low irritation risk. The vehicle of an ointment is known as the ointment base. The choice of a base depends upon the clinical indication for the ointment. The different types of ointment bases are:


Hydrocarbon bases, e.g. hard paraffin, soft paraffin, microcrystalline wax and ceresine


Absorption bases, e.g. wool fat, beeswax


Water-soluble bases, e.g. macrogols 200, 300, 400


Emulsifying bases, e.g. emulsifying wax, cetrimide


Vegetable oils, e.g. olive oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, almond oil and peanut oil.


The medicaments are dispersed in the base and are divided after penetrating the living cells of the skin. Ointments have a water number that can define the maximum amount of water that it can contain. The water number of an ointment is the maximum quantity of water that 100 g of a base can contain at 20° C.


Ointments are typically formulated using hydrophobic, hydrophilic, or water-emulsifying bases to provide preparations that are immiscible, miscible, or emulsifiable with skin secretions. They can also be derived from hydrocarbon (fatty), absorption, water-removable, or water-soluble bases.


The term “topical antibiotic composition” refers to a topical composition containing an external antibiotic agent, various inactive ingredients or excipients, and at least one of a terpene and cannabinoid. The composition is suitable for the prophylactic or therapeutic topical treatment of minor cuts, scrapes or burns.


The term “antibiotic” refers to a medicine or antimicrobial chemical compound that is active against bacteria to prevent or treat bacterial infections by killing bacteria or inhibiting the growth of bacteria.


The term “external antibiotic agent” or “antibiotic agent” refers to any chemical and/or biological agent (e.g., an antimicrobial peptide) that when topically administered at the site of the wounded skin, effectively treats and/or leads to a visible reduction of symptoms associated with the epithelial condition of a minor cut or scrape. Representative antibiotic agents include, for example bacitracin, bacitracin zinc, neomycin, neomycin sulfate, tetracycline, tetracycline hydrochloride, and polymyxin b sulfate.


The term “solvent” refers to a substance, typically a liquid at ambient conditions, capable of dissolving another substance (a solute), resulting in a solution. When one substance is dissolved into another, a solution is formed. This is opposed to the situation when the compounds are insoluble like sand in water. In solution, all of the ingredients are uniformly distributed at a molecular level and no residue remains. The mixing is referred to as miscibility, whereas the ability to dissolve one compound into another is known as solubility. However, in addition to mixing, both substances in the solution interact with each other. When something is dissolved, molecules of the solvent arrange themselves around molecules of the solute. Heat is involved and entropy is increased making the solution more thermodynamically stable than the solute alone. This arrangement is mediated by the respective chemical properties of the solvent and solute, such as hydrogen bonding, dipole moment and polarizability.


The term “emollient” refers to lubricating ingredients (e.g., fats, phospholipids and sterols) that soften and smooth skin while helping it to retain moisture. Emollients are typically nonpolar and can come from natural or synthetic sources in the form of plant oils, mineral oils, shea butter, cocoa butter, petrolatum, cholesterol, silicones or animal oils (including emu, mink and lanolin).


The term “pain relief” refers to a chemical or drug compound added to a topical first aid antibiotic composition to relieve or minimize pain caused by a skin wound (e.g., minor cuts, scrapes, burn). Representative pain relief agents include, for example lidocaine and pramoxine hydrochloride.


The term “infection” refers to the invasion of tissue by microorganisms and pathogens (e.g., bacteria, virus, fungus, and parasite) leading to disease. Wounded skin caused by minor cuts, scrapes or burns opens the skin and exposes underlying tissue and the bloodstream to pathogens. Symptoms or signs of infection include hot incision site, redness and swelling, continual or increased pain, fluid drainage, fever, and malaise.


The term “hemp extract” refers to Cannabidiol (CBD) oil that can be extracted from the stalks, stems and flowers of the Cannabis sativa plant, which does not include the seeds of the plant. This oil can be used to dissolve CBD and added into ointments for its helps properties, in which it does not contain any psychoactive properties.


The term “cannabinoid” refers to a class of diverse chemical compounds that act on cannabinoid receptors on cells that repress neurotransmitter release in the brain. These receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally in the body by humans and animals), the phytocannabinoids (found in Cannabis and some other plants), and synthetic cannabinoids (manufactured chemically). The most notable cannabinoid is the phytocannabinoid 49-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound of Cannabis. Cannabidiol (CBD) is another major constituent of the plant, representing up to 40% in extracts of the plant resin. There are at least 85 different cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis, exhibiting varied effects. The cannabinoid can be synthetically prepared, or alternatively, can be obtained naturally (e.g., from plant matter). Either way, the cannabinoid can have the requisite purity (e.g., at least 95 wt. % pure, at least 98 wt. % pure, at least 99 wt. % pure, or at least 99.5 wt. % pure).

The term “terpene” refers to a hydrocarbon or derivative thereof, found as a natural product and biosynthesized by oligomerization of isoprene units. A terpene can be acyclic, monocyclic, bicyclic, or multicyclic. Examples include, e.g., sesquiterpenes (e.g., (−)-β-caryophyllene, humulene, vetivazulene, guaiazulene, longifolene, copaene, and patchoulol), monoterpenes (e.g., limonene and pulegone), monoterpenoids (e.g., carvone), diterpenes (e.g., taxadiene), and triterpenes (e.g., squalene, betulin, betulinic acid, lupane, lupeol, betulin-3-caffeate, allobetulin, and cholesterol). The terpene can be synthetically prepared, or alternatively, can be obtained naturally (e.g., from plant matter). Either way, the terpene can have the requisite purity (e.g., at least 95 wt. % pure, at least 98 wt. % pure, at least 99 wt. % pure, or at least 99.5 wt. % pure).

The term “flavonoid” refers to ubiquitous plant natural products with various polyphenolic structures. Flavonoids can be extracted from fruits, vegetables, grains, bark, roots, stems, flowers, and teas or can be biosynthetically produced. The role of flavonoids in plants includes UV protection, aid in plant growth, defense against plaques, and provide the color and aroma of flowers.


Flavonoids can be divided into classes (e.g., anthocyanin, chalcone, flavone, flavonol, isoflavone, and flavonone) and subclasses depending on the carbon of the C ring on which the B ring is attached and the degree of unsaturation and oxidation of the C ring.

Flavonoid




classes
Structure of flavonoid classes









Anthocyanins
Double bonds between positions 1




and 2, 3 and 4 of the C ring;




Hydroxyl groups at positions 5 and




7 in the A ring and 3′, 4′ and/or




5′ of the B ring; Methylation or




acylation at the hydroxyl groups




on the A and B rings vary



Chaicones
Absence of ‘C ring’ of the basic




flavonoid skeleton structure



Flavonones
C ring is saturated (contains no




double bonds)



Flavones
Double bond between positions 2




and 3 and a ketone in position 4




of the C ring; Most have a hydroxyl




group in position 5 or 7 of the A




ring of the A ring or 3′ and 4′ of




the B ring (varies according to the




taxonomic classification of the




particular plant)



Flavonols
Double bond between positions 2




and 3, a ketone in position 4 and




hydroxyl group in position 3 of the




C ring; the ketone group the C ring




may also be glycosylated; very diverse




in methylation and hydroxylation




patterns



Isoflavonoids
B ring is attached to the 3 position




of the C ring and contains a hydroxyl




group at the 4′ position; hydroxylation




of the A ring varies










Studies on flavonoids have revealed an increasing number of health benefits showing anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and anti-carcinogenic properties by inhibiting numerous pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidative enzymes (e.g., xanthine oxidase (XO), cyclo-oxygenase (COS), lipoxygenase, phosphoinositide 3-kinase, and acetylcholinesterase). This may have benefits towards numerous diseases and medical conditions (e.g., pain, cancer, arthersclerosis, Alzheimer's disease). There is a growing interest in the medicinal properties of Cannabis (Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, Cannabis ruderalis). Studies have shown that Cannaflavin A and Cannflavin B, prenylated flavones, have anti-inflammatory properties greater than aspirin. Cannflavin A and B can be isolated from Cannabis sativa and biosynthesized.


Synthetically prepared flavonoids, which are commercially available (e.g., Cannflavin B from Toronto Research Chemicals), are provided below.

The term “transdermal delivery agent” refers to a substance that aids or facilitates the passage of desired compounds, such as pharmaceutically active ingredients (e.g., external antibiotic agent), cannabinoids, and/or terpenes, at least partially through one or more layers of the skin, including the dermis and epidermis.


The term “skin surface” refers to interface of an organism with the environment, which prevents moisture loss from the body, and is a barrier functioning to prevent the invasion of biotoxic substances, such as microorganisms and allergens, from the environment. The skin contains two layers consisting of an outer epidermis and an inner dermis.


The term “human” refers to a person who can benefit from the pharmaceutical formulations and methods of the present invention. The person that could benefit from the presently described pharmaceutical formulations and methods may be an adolescent or adult. A human may be referred to as an individual, patient, subject, or recipient.


The term “topical formulation” is used herein to generally include a formulation that can be applied to skin or a mucosa. Topical formulations may, for example, be used to confer therapeutic benefit to a patient or cosmetic benefits to a consumer. Topical formulations can be used for both topical and transdermal administration of substances. The topical formulations can be configured and formulated to exist in various dosage forms, such as, e.g., gel, pump gel, gel packet, cream, lotion, roll-on liquid, roll-on gel, spray, pump spray, aerosol spray, stick, patch, ointment, liniment, or balm.


The term “topical administration” is used herein to generally include the delivery of a substance, such as a therapeutically active agent (e.g., external antibiotic agent), to the skin or a localized region of the body.


The term “transdermal administration” is used herein to generally include administration through at least a portion of the skin. Transdermal administration is often applied for delivering desired substances to tissues underlying the skin with minimal systemic absorption. As such, the transdermal administration delivers desired substances at least partially through one or more layers of the skin, including the dermis and epidermis.


The term “subject” is used herein to generally include humans, particularly humans at least 2 years of age, human adolescents (e.g., 12-17 years old) and human adults (e.g., at least 18 years old).


The term “effective amount” is used herein to generally include an amount of topical formulation (or external antibiotic agent) effective for treating or preventing infection in a subject as described herein.


The term “treating” with regard to a subject, refers to improving at least one symptom of the subject's disorder. Treating includes curing, improving, or at least partially ameliorating the disorder or the symptoms thereof.


Method of Manufacturing

As described herein, the compositions of the present invention are suitable for topical (e.g., dermal or intradermal) administration and include, e.g., liquid or semi-solid preparations (e.g., liniments, lotions, gels, sprays, foams, film forming systems, microneedles, micro- or nano-emulsions), and oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions (e.g., creams, ointments or pastes). These topical dosage forms can be prepared employing well-known and routine procedures, equipment, techniques, and substances. See, e.g., A.
