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.
- retinoids e.g. tretinoin, retinol and retinal
- 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. It is one object of the present invention to provide ingredients, formulations and methods of use which can suppress skin irritation due to chemical or environmental exposure, or due to tissue inflammation, injury or other skin pathology.
- the invention is particularly useful for preventing, reducing or eliminating the potential irritation caused by topical application of products containing other irritating ingredients, including especially cosmetics such as hydroxy acid or other exfoliant containing products, facial peels, shaving products, sunscreen products, deodorants and other cosmetics as described above, as well as topical drug products containing irritating active ingredients or vehicles, and other products such as soaps, detergents, solvents and the like which are either applied topically or are topically exposed to the body during use.

- the cations of the present invention may be combined in a formulation with other anti-irritants, such as steroidal or non- steroidal anti -inflammatory agents or other materials such as aloe vera, chamomile, ⁇ -bisabolol, Cola nitida extract, green tea extract, tea tree oil, licorice extract, allantoin, urea, caffeine or other xanthines, glycyrrhizic acid and its derivatives, or with other anti-irritant species such as those identified in co- pending U.S. Patent Application Serial Nos. 08/362,101, 08/362,100, 08/362,058 and 08/362,055 (entitled "Formulations and Methods for Reducing Skin
- the invention further provides methods of treating, reducing or eliminating skin irritation comprising the topical application of a formulation comprising an anti-irritant effective amount of one or more cationic species of the invention.
- the cation formulation may further include one or more potentially irritating components.
- the cation formulation may be applied separately and prior to application of another product containing a potentially irritating component, or the cation formulation may be applied alone in order to prevent the development of irritation or to treat a pre-existing irritation attributable to conditions such as skin disease, chemical irritant exposure or environmental exposure.
- FIGURES 1 through 4 depict experimental data showing the time course of irritation responses (FIG. 1), the cumulative irritation over time (FIG. 2), and the subject-by-subject cumulative irritation suppression and irritation responses
- FIGURE 5 depicts experimental data showing the cumulative irritation inhibition effects of magnesium sulfate administered at varying concentrations
- Formulations containing such cations are useful in suppressing a wide range of topical-product-induced irritation responses attributable to exfoliants, sunscreens, retinoids, anti- perspirants, deodorants, anti-acne and other products which contain components potentially capable of causing sensory irritation.
- the cations of the present invention are useful for preventing or reducing the skin irritation caused by ⁇ - or ⁇ -hydroxy acids, ⁇ -keto acids and other carboxylic acids, as well as retinoids, phenols, peroxides and similar irritants found in over-the-counter topical products for home or cosmetologist use (such as 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, and gluconic acid), as well as in certain prescription topical drugs containing high (for example, 12% w/w or even higher) dosage forms of such irritants.
- formulations of the invention can also be inhibited by the formulations of the invention.
- formulations containing such cations are useful in ameliorating irritation in conditions where the skin is inherently hypersensitive to topical products (e.g. dry skin, "winter itch,” and other inflammation or injury conditions) and in ameliorating the irritation due to such conditions even in the absence of other applied topical products.
- the formulations are also useful in treating non-human animal skin irritation, as for example dog or cat irritation and resultant scratching due to fleas or other skin disease or condition.
- An additional benefit of the present anti-irritant compounds and formulations is that they do not have the undesirable anesthetic side-effects exhibited by Lidocaine and other similar skin local anesthetics.
- subjects Upon application of a solution of the compound used in the clinical trials described here, subjects typically reported no sensations other than those sensations caused by the vehicle alone, and no lack of normal sensation(s).
- the anti-irritant topical formulations of the invention comprise a topical vehicle suitable for administration to the animal (particularly human) skin, and an amount of one or more cations of the invention effective to reduce, inhibit or eliminate existing or potential skin irritation.
- the cations are, of course, accompanied in the formulation by one or more charge-neutralizing anionic counterions, although the cation-anion pairs as originally incorporated into the vehicle may become dissociated in the resulting formulation, or the cations of the invention may become associated in the formulation with other anionic species appearing in the overall formulation.
- the anti-irritant topical formulations additionally contain an irritant ingredient(s) that is itself capable of inducing skin irritation such as symptoms associated with inflammation, as for example a cosmetic or skin care product ingredient, or a pharmaceutically active ingredient or drug ingredient.
- the cations for use in the anti-irritant formulations of the invention are selected from one or more 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 + .

- the formulation preferably contains such cations in a suitable topical vehicle at a total concentration of about 10 to about 3000 mM, more preferably about 50 to about 2000 mM, and most preferably about 100 to about 1000 mM.
- concentration range in many instances is from about 250 to about 500 mM, as for example where the formulation of the invention includes an irritant ingredient such as an exfoliant ingredient.
- concentration ranges correspond to bioavailable forms of such cations within the formulation, particularly, ionizable and aqueous-soluble forms of such cations as contrasted with insoluble or covalently-bonded forms of the cations.
- the appropriate cation concentration can be achieved using a single metal cation species of the invention, or multiple different cation species may be combined to yield the total desired cation concentration. If other anti-irritant compounds are included in the formulation, then lower concentrations of the cations of the invention may be utilized.
- Preferred cation concentrations can also be expressed in weight/volume or weight/weight percentage terms which will vary somewhat depending on the density of the vehicle and other components in the formulation.
- the vehicle has a density of 0.93 g/ml (as in a 50:50 [by volume] mixture of 95% ethyl alcohol and water) and the cation component is incorporated in the form of magnesium nitrate (formula weight 148)
- representative molarity concentration values correspond approximately to 10 mM: 0.15% (w/v) 0.16% (w/w)
- a typical topical dosage will be approximately 0.5 grams of cation formulation over a 5 cm x 5 cm area of skin (25 cm 2 ). Clinical studies have shown that such preferred concentration ranges are generally effective to inhibit skin irritation and. in typical topical vehicles, are readily formulated and do not leave any significant visible residue when applied to the skin. Higher concentration formulations, such as saturated pastes or other forms, may also be successfully used, particularly where visible appearance is not a limiting consideration (as in therapeutic applications).
- the concentration of cation may be adjusted to account for the amount of formulation that is typically applied to a given skin area by the user, which will depend to an extent on the physical nature of the topical vehicle (e.g., lotion as compared to liquid spray vehicles).
- the amount of cation required may be reduced in such cases where the formulation contains a skin penetration-enhancing ingredient or other agent which increases the ability of the cations to permeate the stratum corneum to their site of anti- irritant activity.
- the formulations of the invention include an amount of anti-irritant cation (or cations) capable of inhibiting irritation in susceptible individuals by at least about 20% or more, as measured by a mean reduction in cumulative irritation across a susceptible test population as exemplified in the clinical protocols described below.
- the formulations of the invention include an amount of anti-irritant cation capable of inhibiting irritation by at least about 40% or more in at least about 10% of the susceptible population, as measured by a reduction in cumulative irritation on an individual-by- individual basis (treated vs. control areas). This latter measure of efficacy reflects the fact that the present formulations, similar to many therapeutic products, may in some cases be effective in delivering a significant benefit to some, but not all, of the susceptible population.
- the formulations of the invention include only a single cation species of the invention (i.e., one of magnesium (Mg 2 *), manganese (Mn 2+ ) or a lanthanide series (atomic numbers 57-71) cation, most preferably La 3+ , Ce 3+ , Pr 3+ or Gd 3+ in a total concentration as described above.
- a single cation species of the invention i.e., one of magnesium (Mg 2 *), manganese (Mn 2+ ) or a lanthanide series (atomic numbers 57-71) cation, most preferably La 3+ , Ce 3+ , Pr 3+ or Gd 3+ in a total concentration as described above.
- one discovery of the invention is that anti-irritant activity is generally maintained at about an "additive" level if fractional portions of different species of the cations of the invention are combined so as to make up a total combined cation concentration within the ranges referred to above.
- the optimum concentration of a cation of the invention may also be reduced below (or within) the preferred ranges set forth above if some other anti- irritant component is included in the formulation along with the cation component of the invention.
- lower (e.g. halved) amounts of magnesium (Mg 2+ ), manganese (Mn 2+ ) or lanthanide series cations may be used, while still maintaining comparable levels of anti-irritant activity, by further including an approximately equal concentration of, for example, a potassium channel mediating, regulating or blocking agent, or a calcium-channel blocking or regulatory agent, or other anti-irritant agent such as a steroid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent.
- urea, caffeine or other xanthines, and glycyrrhizic acid and its derivatives may also be beneficially incorporated into the formulations of the invention in order further to inhibit irritation effects or symptoms.
- the cations of the invention are typically incorporated into the present formulations by mixing an appropriate amount of a suitable salt form of the selected cation into the chosen formulation vehicle, along with such other skin care components as are desired. From a formulation standpoint, it is preferred that the selected salt be sufficiently soluble in the formulation vehicle as to allow a consistent formulation having the desired physical and topical application characteristics.
- the salt form of the cations of the invention may dissociate within the formulation (and in this case may associate with other anions also present in the formulation), or the salt form may remain substantially associated. It is also highly preferred that the salt (or salts) chosen be sufficiently aqueous-soluble such that, upon application to the skin, the component cations (and corresponding counteranions) can dissociate and be taken up into the water-containing milieu of the skin.
- the particular salt ingredient(s) chosen should be topically acceptable and preferably will not themselves be irritating, toxic or otherwise deleterious to the user.
- topically acceptable cation/counteranion salt ingredients may be utilized in the present formulations in order to achieve the objectives of the invention.
- Such salts can be readily identified by those skilled in the art in view of the present disclosure based on known physical (e.g., solubility), pharmacological and toxicological information and, if necessary, by the application of routine experimentation.
- Examples of potentially suitable counteranion components for use with the cations of the invention include a variety of mono-, di- and trivalent inorganic and organic anions.
- examples of potentially suitable inorganic anions include nitrate, sulfate. halogens (particularly F, Cl.
- organic anions include carboxylic acids, alkoxylates, amino acids, peptides, saturated and unsaturated organic acids, and saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
- Particular examples include citrate, oxalate, acetate, gluconate.
- lactate tartrate, maleate, benzoate, propionate, salicylate, ascorbate, formate, succinate, folinate, aspartate, phthalate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, lauryl sulfate, lanolate, myristate, behenate, caseinate, cyclamate, pantothenate, EDTA and other polyaminopolycarboxylates, saccharin, thioglycolate, laurate, methylparaben, propylparaben, ricinoleate and sorbate anions.
- Certain cation- anion pairs are particularly active as anti-irritants. These include magnesium acetate, magnesium gluconate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride and magnesium nitrate; manganese acetate, manganese chloride, manganese nitrate and manganese sulfate: and chloride and nitrate salts of the lanthanides, most preferably such salts of La + , Ce 3+ , Pr 3+ and Gd 3+ .
- these and other cation-anion pairs in which the anionic species is acidic are also preferred, because such pairs will generally exhibit higher solubility in many common topical vehicles and suitable ionization upon application to the skin.
- strongly acidic anion components may be useful where it is desired to maintain the pH of the resulting formulation at a relatively acidic level, as for example in the case of hydroxy-acid or other acidic exfoliant products where the activity of the product to reduce wrinkles or bring about other beneficial effects may be reduced if the formulation is not relatively acidic.
- the desired level of acidity in such cases can be achieved by adjusting the formulation with a suitable acid (or base if necessary).
- a cation of the present invention is combined in a hydroxy acid or other exfoliant preparation accompanied by one or more suitable anionic or other acidic species such that the pH of the hydroxy acid preparation is maintained in the range of pH 1-6, and more preferably in the range of pH 2-4.
- the acidity of the formulation may not be expressible in typical pH terms, but that such acidity will manifest itself upon exposure of the formulation to the skin where water is present both intracellularly and extracellularly.
- Suitable topical vehicles for use with the formulations of the invention are well known in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical arts, and include such vehicles (or vehicle components) as water; organic solvents such as alcohols (particularly lower alcohols readily capable of evaporating from the skin such as ethanol), glycols (such as glycerin), aliphatic alcohols (such as lanolin); mixtures of water and organic solvents (such as water and alcohol), and mixtures of organic solvents such as alcohol and glycerin (optionally also with water); lipid-based materials such as fatty acids, acylglycerols (including oils, such as mineral oil, and fats of natural or synthetic origin), phosphoglycerides, sphingolipids and waxes; protein-based materials such as collagen and gelatin; silicone-based materials (both non-volatile and volatile) such as cyclomethicone, demethiconol and dimethicone copolyol (Dow Corning); hydrocarbon-based materials such as petrolatum and squalane;
- the vehicle may further include components adapted to improve the stability or effectiveness of the applied formulation, such as preservatives, antioxidants, skin penetration enhancers, sustained release materials, and the like.
- components adapted to improve the stability or effectiveness of the applied formulation such as preservatives, antioxidants, skin penetration enhancers, sustained release materials, and the like. Examples of such vehicles and vehicle components are well known in the art and are described in such reference works as Martindale — The Extra Pharmacopoeia (Pharmaceutical Press, London 1993) and Martin (ed.), Remington's
- a suitable vehicle will depend on the particular physical form and mode of delivery that the formulation is to achieve.
- suitable forms include liquids (including dissolved forms of the cations of the invention as well as suspensions, emulsions and the like); solids and semisolids such as gels, foams, pastes, creams, ointments, "sticks” (as in lipsticks or underarm deodorant sticks), powders and the like; formulations containing liposomes or other delivery vesicles; rectal or vaginal suppositories, creams, foams, gels, ointments, enemas or douches and other forms.
- Typical modes of delivery include application using the fingers; application using a physical applicator such as a cloth, tissue, swab, stick or brush (as achieved for example by soaking the applicator with the formulation just prior to application, or by applying or adhering a prepared applicator already containing the formulation — such as a treated or premoistened bandage, wipe, washcloth or stick — to the skin); spraying (including mist, aerosol or foam spraying); dropper application (as for example with ear or eye drops); sprinkling (as with a suitable powder form of the formulation); soaking; and injection (particularly intradermal or subcutaneous injection). Iontophoresis or other electromagnetic-enhanced delivery systems may also be usefully employed, as for example to increase delivery to the dermis.
- a physical applicator such as a cloth, tissue, swab, stick or brush
- spraying including mist, aerosol or foam spraying
- dropper application as for example with ear or eye drops
- the formulations of the invention are most preferably formulated such that the cation component of the formulation (as occurring with any accompanying anion counterion components) is substantially invisible upon application to the skin. This is particularly true in the case of many cosmetic formulations that are applied to the face or other exposed parts of the body, although it is also generally desirable that the cation (and anion) component not be visible even if applied to non-exposed portions of the body.
- the formulation will be designed to be visible on the skin; in such cases, it is desirable that the cation component itself be "invisible,” that is, that it not adversely change the appearance of the overall formulation as applied to the skin.
- the present cations can be formulated in a form for topical oral administration to treat pain or irritation in the mouth, throat or other portions of the upper gastrointestinal system such as that due to sore throats, canker sores, gum irritation or inflammation or the like, including such irritation as may be exacerbated by spicy or acidic foods as, for example, in the case of ulcers or heartburn.
- the present cations (and their suitable oral salts) are generally tasteless at the concentrations described.
- Suitable forms for such oral administration include liquids (e.g. mouthwash, gargle or spray solutions), lozenges, tablets, pills and capsules.
- the components used in such oral formulations should be chosen to be non- toxic. Methods for preparing oral formulations suitable for use in the present invention are well known in the art. Clinical Results
- the objective of the clinical trials was to determine whether and to what extent the cations of the present invention reduced or prevented skin irritation caused by lactic acid, an ⁇ -hydroxy carboxylic acid known for its skin irritating potential.
- the trials were conducted in a double blind, randomized, vehicle- controlled manner. Narious formulations of the invention were tested in over
- Tests were conducted in multiple panels of from 7 to 12 subjects each. Subjects were instructed not to wear any makeup or facial lotions to the clinic the day of testing. The subjects were instructed to wash their face with Ivory bar soap in the clinic prior to application of test solutions. Lactic acid skin-irritant compositions were formulated in an appropriate vehicle prior to application to the skin of the subjects. In the majority of the tests, the irritant composition was 7.5% lactic acid dissolved in a 10% ethanol-in- water solution.
- Test anti-irritant formulations were prepared by combining measured amounts of salts of the cations of the present invention (concentration 250 mM) in the lactic acid irritant composition.
- the test formulation was applied to a defined portion of the subject's skin, typically the face. Controls were performed by applying a corresponding formulation without any added cation to a contralateral portion of the subject's skin.
- test solutions were applied in a double blind, randomized fashion using the prepared solutions as previously placed in coded vial designated for use on either the right or left side of the face (or other test area). Solutions were typically applied using a cotton swab (six strokes) or sponge applicator to the face and cheek area extending from the midline of the nose over to the center of the cheek and from the cheek bone down to the jaw line. Application was made first to the right side and then to the left.
- Praseodymium chloride 35% Praseodymium nitrate 60% Gadolinium chloride 65% Gadolinium nitrate 55%
- FIGURES 1 through 4 show more detailed experimental data for one panel test conducted using magnesium nitrate (250 mM) as the anti-irritant salt component of the subject formulation.
- FIG. 1 shows the time course of irritation responses for both cation-treated and non-treated (control) skin portions for the panel.
- FIG. 2 shows the cumulative irritation over time for the same panel, while FIGS. 3 and 4 show cumulative irritation suppression and treated/untreated irritation responses on a subject-by-subject basis. While individual responses vary somewhat, the overall efficacy of the subject formulation is clear.
- Cumulative irritation data are set forth in the following table, and are depicted graphically in FIG. 5.
- Cation salts of the invention were formulated at various concentrations in various commercially available topical cosmetic products.
- the resulting mixtures generally did not alter the texture, color, consistency or other physical properties of the product, and could be used as formulations to inhibit topical irritation.
- Topical solution forms of magnesium sulfate, magnesium nitrate, magnesium chloride and magnesium acetate were prepared by combining various amounts of the named salts with Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining
- Toner an alcohol-containing solution. The concentrations achieved were shown to be effective to inhibit skin irritation.
- magnesium sulfate were prepared by combining anti-irritant effective amount of the salt with Estee Lauder Clean Finish Purifying Toner Normal/Dry and Mary Kay Refining Refreshener Formula 2.
- Topical cream forms of magnesium sulfate and magnesium nitrate were prepared by combining anti-irritant amounts of the salts with L'Oreal Vichy Novactia Cream (with 2% capryloyl salicylic acid).
- a topical gel form of magnesium sulfate was prepared by combining an anti-irritant amount of the salt with Cover Girl Advanced Clean Moisturizing Hydrogel.
