Abstract

The present invention is in the field of antimicrobial compositions, for example for personal care.

The invention also relates to uses and methods of the antimicrobial compositions of the invention.

Description

Antimicrobial compositions comprising modified clays and copolymers
Technical Field
The present invention is in the field of personal care. In particular, the present invention relates to an antimicrobial composition useful, for example, in oral care. The antimicrobial composition comprises a modified clay and a copolymer. The invention also relates to the use of the antimicrobial composition.
Background
Hygiene and proper personal care can prevent and treat a variety of diseases caused by microorganisms. Useful means of promoting and improving hygiene include personal care compositions. The most effective personal care compositions for this purpose include antimicrobial components, which reduce the number of microorganisms on skin and mucosal surfaces. For example, the antimicrobial composition in a deodorant can reduce or prevent the growth of microorganisms that produce malodor or promote the breakdown of body oils into odoriferous fatty acids. Similar principles apply to shampoos, body washes, toothpastes, hand and body washes, and other examples of personal care compositions comprising antimicrobial compositions.
One of the most important aspects of personal care is oral health. Dental caries, dental calculus, gum diseases such as gingivitis, plaque and halitosis are diseases in the oral cavity (or conditions caused by or likely to cause disease) which can be easily prevented or treated by adequate oral hygiene. These diseases and conditions are important not only from a medical point of view, but also from a cosmetic point of view, since they may impair the appearance of a person's smile (such as teeth yellowing or halitosis, which does not necessarily have a pathological origin). In any case, unhealthy and/or impaired oral conditions may affect people's social activities, sometimes resulting in self-mutilation. Despite its relevance to the oral health of human subjects, oral care is also of increasing importance in the veterinary industry, whether for pets or large animals.
Oral diseases and aesthetic oral conditions are caused by the formation of biofilm on the surfaces of teeth. Oral biofilms can affect appearance because they can promote tooth discoloration and/or staining (staining).
Oral biofilms are formed by attaching acquired films, which are protein-containing films derived from salivary glycoproteins, to clean tooth surfaces. The film enables bacteria from so-called pioneer species such as actinomycetes (actinomycetes spp), Streptococcus (Streptococcus spp), Haemophilus (haemapophilus spp), cabnocytophaga (Capnocytophaga spp), veyonia (Veillonella spp) and Neisseria (Neisseria) to adhere to the tooth surface. This early stage of biofilm formation can be easily reversed. However, if not removed, the pioneer bacteria will cause the subsequent attachment of bacterial species such as Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fusobacterium tuberculosis), Treponema spp, danshenna venenatus (tannorella), porphyromonas gingivalis, actinomycetemcomitans (actinomycetemcomitans), etc., which are associated with the formation of dental plaque, tartar, gum disease, etc.
Halitosis can be a symptom of oral disease, as it is often indicative of the presence of pathogens that cause, for example, tooth decay and gingivitis. However, halitosis is not always associated with medical conditions. Halitosis or oral malodor can be caused by, for example, some medications, excessive caffeine intake, or reduced saliva production (dry mouth). Non-pathological oral malodor can be prevented or controlled with oral care compositions such as mouthwashes, chewing gums, toothpastes, breath tablets, and other products that ensure oral cleanliness and provide fresh breath.
A variety of oral care compositions have been proposed, and some have even been marketed to address the above-mentioned problems. Nevertheless, there is still a need for consumers to solve the above problems and they are always looking for solutions that involve little or no actives considered as harsh chemical sources. Thus, compounds that are generally considered inert, such as naturally occurring clays or polymers, whether of natural or synthetic origin, are generally accepted by consumers. The present inventors, in seeking such solutions, have obtained, through the intrinsic knowledge of these materials and through extensive experiments, a combination of a modified clay (which has been patented and published as WO 2011/036031) and a specific copolymer providing a synergistic anti-biofilm efficacy.
WO2011/036031a1 describes a bipolar antimicrobial particle for use in laundry detergent compositions, fabric conditioners, personal care and cosmetic compositions and a method of making the same. The antimicrobial particles described therein comprise modified clay particles having antimicrobial groups attached thereto. The examples describe the preparation of the modified clay particles and their antimicrobial activity, particularly on fabrics.
Oral care compositions comprising the copolymers are also reported. EP0341660(Goodrich,1989) discloses oral compositions and methods for inhibiting dental calculus characterized by the presence of a fluoride source, a dental abrasive and an anticalculus agent of at least two polymers selected from homopolymers of a carboxyl monomer selected from monounsaturated carboxylic acids having from 3 to 5 carbons, anhydrides thereof, salts thereof and mixtures of said carboxyl monomers and copolymers containing at least 30% of said carboxyl monomer.
WO13187918(P & G) discloses a liquid, cleaning and/or rinsing composition comprising biodegradable abrasive cleaning particles comprising biodegradable polyester material selected from a large group of copolymers.
EP0525913(Colgate,1993) discloses a toothpaste or dental gel composition containing an amount of a synthetic linear viscoelastic cross-linked polymeric thickener, especially a cross-linked methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer, effective to impart linear viscoelastic properties to the composition, and a method of promoting oral hygiene by applying an effective amount of the composition to a tooth surface.
Despite the above-disclosed technologies, there remains a need for antimicrobial compositions, particularly compositions for personal care such as oral care, having further improved antimicrobial activity.

Detailed Description
Examples
Example 1 preparation of modified Clay particles
To prepare the modified clay particles comprising the antimicrobial compound according to the invention, the following process was used:
5g of kaolinite (Superstone 90, EICL) were placed in 500ml of 0.1N HCl (Merck) solution and sonicated for 30 minutes. The pH was then raised to 9 by dropwise addition of NaOH (Merck) solution. 10g of CPC were added to it and the suspension was stirred on a magnetic stirrer (Spinpot) for 6 hours while maintaining the temperature of the solution at 75-80 ℃. The suspension was then washed with water about 10 times to remove excess CPC and finally with ethanol (Les Alcools De Commerce). The clay was then dried in a hot air oven.
To confirm the attachment of CPC to clay after reaction FTIR spectroscopy was used. The instrument used was a Perkin Elmer instrument, a Spectrum One FT-IR spectrometer. Powder (diffuse reflection) technique was used for this measurement. The clay used as control and the clay after the reaction of the invention were ground in a mortar and pestle with 50% w/w of KBr and then the IR was measured on these powders. The infrared spectrum of the clay after the reaction was compared with that of the pure clay. The reacted clay was found to be 2926cm-1、2855cm-1、1487cm-1And 1466cm-1A new peak was observed. 2926cm-1And 2855cm-1The peak at (A) is due to C-C stretching of the alkyl chain of CPC, while 1487cm-1And 1466cm-1The peaks at (a) are due to the ring carbon and nitrogen of CPC.
EXAMPLE 2 antimicrobial Activity of active Material
The antimicrobial activity of the composition according to the invention was compared with the antimicrobial activity of a composition comprising only modified clay particles comprising the antimicrobial compound ("CPC", prepared as in example 1) or only the copolymer. The salivary flora and the actives (according to table 1 below) were incubated together overnight and the biofilm was stained with crystal violet at the end of the incubation. Detailed protocol is as follows
Treatment and biofilm formation
Samples of morning saliva were collected before brushing 4-5 people, pooled together and washed twice in saline. The absorbance of the ultrafiltrated tryptone yeast extract broth (2% sucrose) was set to 0.2OD620nm and used for the experiments mentioned in the further steps. 2ml of the fixed culture was added to 24/12 well plates, and different concentrations of the test active were added to each well. The plates were incubated anaerobically at 37 ℃ overnight.
Dyeing protocol
At the end of the overnight incubation, the plates were poured into biohazard bags to remove all planktonic bacteria. The plate was then rinsed in a pan of water, and the water was then poured over the pan. This step is performed once to remove loosely adhered biofilm. The plate was then placed on a blotter/paper towel on a countertop. All test wells were stained with 1ml of 1% crystal violet stain (CV) for 10 minutes. This step is performed using a pipette. The plate was poured into a biohazard bag to remove all staining agents. The plate was then rinsed in a pan of water and the water was poured onto the pan. This step was carried out three times in succession in three separate water pans. (each tray procedure was repeated 3-9 flushes total). The countertop was covered with more blotter/paper towel and the board was bumped against the countertop until all holes were free of any liquid. This step was performed to ensure that only the remaining CV bound to the biofilm at the bottom of the well. The plate was placed on a bench top at room temperature (23. + -. 2 ℃ C.) with the plate facing up until it was completely dry. To the test wells 1ml of 33% glacial acetic acid was added to dissolve the biofilm-bound CV stain. The acetic acid was allowed to stand for 10 minutes. The mixture of acetic acid and CV was aspirated up and down the wells.
10 μ l of the above solution was transferred to 90 μ l of 33% acetic acid in wells of a flat-bottomed 96-well plate. The solution was mixed well and the absorbance was measured at 540 nm. All actives tested were performed in duplicate.
The percentage of biofilm obtained for each sample is summarized in the following table
