Definitions

  • This invention relates to compositions and formulations, and methods for using the same, to inhibit skin irritation in animals.
  • skin Many substances are applied topically to the skin or mucous membranes of humans or animals (hereafter “skin”) in order to alter the subject's appearance, to protect the subject from the environment, or to produce a biological change in the skin or other tissue for therapeutic, preventive or cosmetic purposes.
  • skin may generically be termed “topical products” and include such topically applied substances as cosmetics, over-the-counter and prescription topical drugs, and a variety of other products such as soaps and detergents.
  • Topical products occur in a variety of forms, including solids, liquids, suspensions, semisolids (such as creams, gels, pastes or “sticks”), powders or finely dispersed liquids such as sprays or mists.
  • topical products commonly classified as “cosmetics” include skin care products such as creams, lotions, moisturizers and “treatment cosmetics” such as exfoliants and/or skin cell renewal agents; fragrances such as perfumes and colognes, and deodorants; shaving-related products such as creams, "bracers” and aftershaves; depilatories and other hair removal products; skin cleansers, toners and astringents; pre- moistened wipes and washcloths; tanning lotions; bath products such as oils; eye care products such as eye lotions and makeup removers; foot care products such as powders and sprays; skin colorant and make-up products such as foundations, blushes, rouges, eye shadows and liners, lip colors and mascaras; lip balm
  • topical drugs are many and varied, and include over- the-counter and/or prescription products such as antiperspirants, insect repellents, sunscreens and sunburn treatments, anti-acne agents, antibiotics, topical respiratory agents, ocular drugs such as eyedrops and saline solutions, therapeutic retinoids, anti-dandruff agents, external analgesics such as capsaicin products, topical contraceptives, topical drug delivery systems, gastrointestinal agents such as suppositories, enemas and hemorrhoid treatments, reproductive system agents such as vaginal treatments, oral treatments such as lozenges, and many other products with therapeutic or other effects.
  • over- the-counter and/or prescription products such as antiperspirants, insect repellents, sunscreens and sunburn treatments, anti-acne agents, antibiotics, topical respiratory agents, ocular drugs such as eyedrops and saline solutions, therapeutic retinoids, anti-dandruff agents, external analgesics such as capsaicin
  • topical products include hand, facial and body soaps and detergents and other forms of skin cleansers, as well as household detergents and many other household products such as solvents, propellants, polishes, lubricants, adhesives, waxes and others which are either applied topically or are topically exposed to the body during normal use.
  • topical products contain chemicals which may produce "irritation,” including various inflammation symptoms or signs, when applied to the skin or mucosa ("skin").
  • the present invention is directed in part to compositions and methods for inhibiting the irritation associated with such topical products.
  • the occurrence, frequency and nature of topical-product-induced irritation often varies from user to user.
  • the severity of irritation to the susceptible user may range from subclinical to mild to severe.
  • Typical symptoms of "irritation” include itching (pruritus), stinging, burning, tingling, "tightness,” erythema (redness) or edema (swelling).
  • the irritation response may be due to the direct effect on the skin of certain topical product chemicals or to a response by the immune system directed toward the chemicals alone or in combination with skin components (e.g. antigens).
  • the sensation of itch is one of the most common skin problems experienced by humans and animals. Itch can be defined as a sensation which provokes the desire to scratch the site from which the sensation originates. All skin contains sensory nerves which can transmit itch or other sensory impulses in response to chemical irritation, environmental exposure or disease processes. Although the precise population of itch producing nerves have not been identified, the thinnest, unmyelinated nerve population, termed type C nociceptive neurons are thought to be the most important in producing the sensation. Itch: Mechanisms and Management of Pruritus. Jeffrey D. Bernhard. McGraw-Hill, Inc. (San Francisco, 1994), pp. 1-22.
  • the sensory nerves of the skin can be considered to be a "final common pathway" for the many irritating conditions which may be ultimately sensed as itch including chemical exposure, environmental exposure (such as that which produces dry, itchy skin) and disease processes such as atopic dermatitis. Many chemical substances are able to produce itch or other sensory impulses when topically applied to the skin. No matter what the ultimate cause of itch, the sensation experienced is the same and provokes the desire to scratch.
  • Topical product active ingredients including chemicals that may also be classified as drugs, produce irritation when applied to the skin. These include, but are not limited to, such ingredients as exfoliants and skin cell renewal agents, anti-acne drugs, antiperspirant compounds, antihistamines, anti-inflammatory agents, skin protective agents, insect repellent chemicals, sunscreens and many others. Where more than one chemical irritant is present, their irritating effects may be additive. Furthermore, chemical ingredients may react with one another, or in the environment of the skin, to form new chemicals which are irritating. The vehicles in which the active drug ingredients are formulated may also produce irritation in sensitive people, especially in the case of drugs such as topical corticosteroids.

  • carboxylic acids including ⁇ -hydroxy acids (e.g. lactic acid, glycolic acid), ⁇ -hydroxy acids (e.g.
  • salicylic acid ⁇ -keto acids, acetic acid and trichloroacetic acid, l-pyrrolidone-5-carboxylic acid, capryloyl salicylic acid, ⁇ - hydroxy decanoic acid, ⁇ -hydroxy octanoic acid, gluconolactone, methoxypropyl gluconamide.
  • oxalic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, benzylic acid, gluconic acid, benzoyl peroxide and phenol may cause the skin to become more sensitive to irritation triggered by other topically-applied chemicals such as moisturizers, sunscreens, fragrances, preservatives, surfactants (e.g.
  • Exfoliants and other ingredients may also increase the skin's sensitivity to environmental conditions such as sunlight, wind, cold temperature and dry air, or to chemical agents such as antigens, or may exacerbate the irritation attributable to a pre-existing skin disease.
  • environmental influences may themselves increase the skin's sensitivity to chemicals in topical products by reducing the epidermal skin's "barrier function.”
  • the barrier function acts to minimize absorption or passage of potentially irritating chemicals through the outer "dead" cell layer of epidermal skin into the living skin tissue. Extremes of humidity, for example, can greatly increase irritation from topically-applied products.
  • winter itch A very common condition due to low humidity is termed "winter itch" in which the very low humidity characteristics of many cold climates (particularly when accompanied by indoor heating) or long exposure to refrigerated air from air conditioners in the summer produces itchy skin — especially in older people ⁇ which can exacerbate the irritating effects of topical products.
  • soaps, detergents, cleansing products, shaving creams, alcohol and other products which remove some of the skin's protective lipids and/or secretions may increase the skin's permeability and sensitivity to topically-applied chemicals which would otherwise not produce irritation.
  • Normal processes such as sweating may also increase the ability of irritant materials, such as antiperspirants, deodorants or sunscreens, to penetrate the skin through pores or glands, thus exacerbating the potential for irritation.
  • Exposure of the skin to high humidity environments or liquids may also increase the ability of potential irritants to penetrate the skin.
  • the skin may become sensitized or inflamed due to infection, shaving abrasion, repeated or excessive washing or bathing, sun exposure, or other mechanical abrasion or injury, resulting in sensory irritation responses upon subsequent application of underarm deodorants, after-shaves or other topical products.
  • Other skin diseases and conditions such as allergic or non-allergic contact dermatitis, asthma (including exercise-induced asthma as may be precipitated by inhalation of cold or dry air), rhinitis, conjunctivitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis, eczema, post-herpetic neuralgia, infec ⁇ tious diseases manifested by, for example, sore throat or skin lesions such as candidiasis, insect bites and the like produce inherent irritation which may be exacerbated by application of topical products or by exposure to chemical or environmental influences such as antigens, cold air, low humidity and the like. Many other individuals exhibit sensitive skin as a condition that is not related to an identifiable skin disease.
  • exfoliants include ⁇ - and ⁇ -hydroxy carboxylic acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and the like, ⁇ -keto acids such as pyruvic acid, "simple" carboxylic acids such as acetic acid and trichloroacetic acid, l-pyrrolidone-5- carboxylic acid, capryloyl salicylic acid, ⁇ -hydroxy decanoic acid, ⁇ -hydroxy octanoic acid, gluconolactone, methoxypropyl gluconamide, oxalic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, mandelic acid, benzylic acid, gluconic acid, peroxides, phenols, and skin cell renewal agents such as retinoids.
  • ⁇ - and ⁇ -hydroxy carboxylic acids such as lactic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid and the like
  • ⁇ -keto acids such as pyruvic acid
  • "simple" carboxylic acids such as ace
  • Such products are used as exfoliants and/or cell renewal agents to reduce the occurrence or severity of skin wrinkles, particularly facial wrinkles, or as anti-acne, anti-"dry skin” or skin whitening agents.
  • Hydroxy acids in concentrations high enough to exfoliate, are well known often to cause skin irritation and rashes. The danger of irritation is even higher for persons that have sensitive skin.
  • Yu et al. have proposed the approach of formulating the hydroxy acid with a non-alkali metal base such as ammonium hydroxide or an organic base such as a primary, secondary or tertiary organic amine. thereby forming an amide or ammonium salt of the active ingredient hydroxy (or keto) acid.
  • a non-alkali metal base such as ammonium hydroxide or an organic base such as a primary, secondary or tertiary organic amine.
  • a non-alkali metal base such as ammonium hydroxide or an organic base such as a primary, secondary or tertiary organic amine.
  • the increased pH (reduced acidity) of the resulting preparations renders them less efficacious as exfoliating or anti-wrinkle agents, which desirably have an acidity equivalent to pH 1-6, and more preferably pH 2-4.
  • Other approaches to reducing the irritation associated with exfoliant products include the use of slow-release topical formulations such as polymer- based vehicles (see, e.g., Chess et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,971,800) or microsponges, and inclusion of, e.g., plant-derived anti-irritant components (see, e.g., Smith et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,028,428).
  • Mishima, et al. have reported that certain alkali or alkaline-earth metal salts of lactic acid were useful as skin-whitening agents (U.S. Pat. No. 5,262, 153), but no recognition is expressed as to any need or ability to reduce irritation effects; in addition, the particular formulations of Mishima were typically "neutralized” or adjusted to pH 5.5 prior to screening or skin-whitening testing (see Experiments 1 and 2).
  • the present invention involves the surprising discovery that the metal cations of the invention are useful in reducing the incidence and severity of irritation associated with skin exposure to irritating chemicals or environmental conditions.
  • the cations of the invention may reduce irritation by interacting with skin nerve cells to prevent or counteract the sensation of irritation, and/or by interfering with irritation-inducing components of skin cells that are triggered by application of or exposure to the irritant.
  • the cations may alter the ability of skin nerve cells to depolarize or repolarize, as for example by blocking or interfering with ion channel or pump operation or by altering the transmembranal action potential, or the cations may interfere with the transmission of nerve impulses from one nerve cell to another (as by suppressing neurotransmitter release).
  • the cations of the invention may act to inhibit or modify the action of skin cell proteases or other irritation- inducing biological molecules (such as eicosanoids or cytokines) that may otherwise be activated by topical application of skin irritants, or may alter "second-messenger" function within sensory cells.
  • the intracellular concentration of potassium in the nerve axon is high relative to the extracellular potassium concentration, and the intracellular concentration of sodium is low relative to the extracellular sodium concentration.
  • potassium ions flow out of the cell across the membrane, and sodium ions flow into the cell, through pores created by axonal membrane proteins known as "channels".
  • membranal proteins known as ion "pumps” act to reestablish the resting, polarized state of the cell.
  • Magnesium, as well as certain other divalent cations have also been reported to modulate or block the gating and/or conductance properties of certain channel proteins such as sodium and potassium channels (Shioya et al., Pflugers Arch. 422, 427-435 (1993); Cukierman, Biophys. J. __, 1168-73 (1993); Marrero & Orkland, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. B. 253.219-224 (1993)).
  • Lanthanum ion (which is trivalent) has also been shown to inhibit or block the flow of potassium and sodium ions across (lobster) axon membranes (Takata et al., J. Gen.
  • divalent magnesium and manganese cations are reported to have an inhibitory effect on neurotransmitter release in some experimental systems, whereas other divalent cations such as strontium and barium may exhibit a stimulatory effect in the same system. Harris et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Therap. 195. 488-498 ( 1975).
  • Lanthanum and other lanthanides have an ionic radius similar to that of calcium, and can bind to calcium binding sites on cell membranes and inhibit calcium fluxes across such membranes. Manganese and magnesium cations may also be able to mimic calcium binding and can inhibit the flow of calcium across various membranes (B. Hille (ed.), Ionic Channels of Excitable Membranes. Sinauer Associates (Sunderland, Mass.: 1992), p. 108). Calcium (Ca 2+ ), in turn, is carefully regulated in higher eukaryotic organisms and is reported to have many important effects on cellular and neuronal activity.
  • Calcium ion is a transducer of depolarization, and flows into the cell through a calcium channel during depolarization, although the amount of current flow varies from cell to cell (Stein, Nerve and Muscle - Membranes. Cells and Systems 33-64 at 56 (Plenum Press 1980)).
  • Several messenger pathways of intracellular calcium signal transduction also exist (such as inositol triphosphate-induced release of intracellular stores of calcium), and calcium is a critical second messenger in virtually all cell types.
  • the various tissues and organs are differently disposed within the body, and the nerves (and other excitable cells) within a given tissue are typically highly specialized as well as uniquely disposed within the particular tissue.
  • different nerve-containing tissues may respond differently to a given agent depending on, for example, the type of nerve (or other excitable) cell and its structural disposition within the tissue, the mode of administration of the agent, the ability of the agent to penetrate to the respective nerve site, and the rate at which the agent is removed from the nerve site.
  • magnesium sulfate produces neither anesthesia nor even analgesia in humans (Kato et al., Can. Anaes. Soc. J. J_5, 539-544 ( 1968)). Instead, the magnesium ion induces paralysis of skeletal muscles, due perhaps to the inhibitory effects of magnesium on muscle cell activity. Oral ingestion of large doses of magnesium (e.g., magnesium sulfate as a laxative) does not result in paralysis or depressed neural activity in healthy individuals. On the other hand, when magnesium is applied directly to the brains of test animals, depressed neural or synaptic activity, and even a sleep-like state, reportedly result (Kato et al. (1968), above).
  • the mechanisms underlying sensory stimulation and perception in the animal body are diverse and exceedingly complex. Even within a single tissue or organ, different nerve groups having different organizations and functions may appear. Depending on how they are disposed within the tissue, the various nerve groups may be differently affected (or affected not at all) by an applied agent. Moreover, to the extent that different types of nerve cells occur within a tissue, they may have different susceptibilities to a particular applied agent. This is particularly true in the skin, which has nerves adapted to sense a wide variety of sensory inputs.
  • the firing activity of an individual nerve cell may be influenced in a complex fashion, and may vary over time, depending on such factors as the extracellular and intracellular concentration of nerve-related ions as sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium and the like, as well as the time course of exposure to such ions.
  • Other bioactive agents such as prostaglandins present during inflammatory responses, may further influence nerve sensitivity.
  • nerves may respond to non-chemical stimuli such as hydrodynamic pressure changes, which in turn may depend on the nature of the tissue in which the nerve is disposed. Such factors lead to considerable clinical uncertainty as to how various agents may affect nervous responses such as pain responses.
  • Tooth nerves are disposed primarily in the central pulp of the tooth, but also extend partially into the surrounding "dentin” material.
  • the dentin material is a mineralized collagen matrix containing microscopic, fluid-filled "dentinal tubules.” It has long been known that tooth nerve activity (which is sensed as pain) may be triggered by hydrodynamic pressure changes in the tubule fluid, as may be caused for example by probing or air-blasting the tooth or by applying an ionic solution having a high osmotic pressure (particularly when the protective enamel surrounding the dentin is degraded).
  • one reportedly effective treatment for tooth hypersensitivity involves sealing or occluding the dentinal tubules using chemical or physical means (Scherman & Jacobsen, J. Am. Dent. Ass. 123. 57- 61 (1992)).
  • potassium and strontium salts particularly potassium nitrate and. strontium chloride, have been employed in dentrifices and are reported to reduce tooth sensitivity following two to six weeks of continuous use (Scherman & Jacobsen, above; Silverman, Comp. Cont. Dent. Educ. 6, 131-136
  • the human skin presents a sensory and structural environment that is much more complicated than that of the tooth.
  • the skin contains nerves and highly specific sensory organs that are specialized and disposed so as to differentiate the stimuli leading to such distinct sensations as heat, cold, pressure, pain, itch and the like.
  • nerves in the skin are also responsive to native or foreign chemicals such as proteases, prostaglandins, complement-system molecules, allergens, mitogens and the like which may be presented due to tissue injury or environmental exposure.
  • Agents which are effective to combat one source of sensory stimulus for example steroidal agents to treat skin inflammation — are ineffective against other sensory stimuli such as pressure, heat, or the transitory sting or itch caused by an applied skin care product.
  • agents which are effective in the skin to inhibit certain identified sensory responses (as for example pain or itch) while not adversely affecting other nervous responses in the same tissue (as for example tactual sensations).
  • the present invention is directed to the use of the divalent cations magnesium (Mg 2" ”) and manganese (Mn 2+ ) and the trivalent cations of the lanthanide series (atomic numbers 57-71), most preferably La 3+ , Ce 3+ , Pr 3"1" and Gd 3+ and salts of the foregoing cations as ingredients to provide fast-acting, efficient and safe topical skin anti-irritant effects, and to formulations containing such selected cations.
