Definitions
- the present invention pertains to antimicrobial gel-forming compositions, antimicrobial silicone gels, and antimicrobial wound dressings comprising the antimicrobial silicone gels, as well as methods of preparing the above.
- Hygiene measures applied in healthcare settings such as isolation of infected patients, improved surface sanitation, and the use of alcohol rubs and gels, undoubtedly mitigate the above problems to a certain extent, but adequate and efficacious wound care is a paramount determinant for preventing initial microbial colonization and subsequent spread of infectious diseases.
- Conventional wound dressings have long proved insufficient for treating, inter alia, severe burns and chronic wounds, with the implication that various types of antimicrobial dressings have been developed, comprising inter alia conventional antiseptics, antibiotics, antimicrobial peptides, or metallic agents with antimicrobial properties.
- EP 1274473 discloses antimicrobial coatings for wound dressings comprising a bioadsorbable substrate associated with one or more antimicrobial metals that releases said antimicrobial agent upon contact with an alcohol or water-based electrolyte.
- the bioadsorbable polymer is selected from a group comprising inter alia polyglycolic acid, glycolide, lactic acid, lactide, proteins, or polysaccharides.
- WO2002062403 teaches a medical dressing comprising a complex of silver and being capable of releasing antimicrobial silver ion activity. More specifically, the silver complex comprises a combination of silver and a Group IV transition element, preferably zirconium, in order to enable controlled release of the silver ion to a wound bed.
- US20030036717 describes an elastic compress consisting of an elastomeric matrix highly plasticized with a non-polar oil and containing a dispersed hydrocolloid.
- the compress additionally comprises at least one antiseptic agent, for instance a silver salt, and at least one surfactant for improving the bioavailability of the antiseptic agent.
- Silicones are commonly utilized in various types of medical devices and in particular in wound dressings, as a result of its favourable intrinsic properties. Unlike many other materials used in wound dressings and medical devices, silicones possess attractive characteristics pertaining to inter alia manufacturing advantages, cohesion, tack, and adhesion, implying that they often constitute the materials of choice for wound dressing applications.
- WO 1993019710 discloses an absorbent wound dressing comprising a layer of hydrophobic silicone gel, a layer of carrier material, and an absorbent body, providing a soft wound dressing having favourable properties relating to adhesive strength, ease of removal, and leakage prevention.
- WO2008057155 discloses silicone gel forming compositions for temporarily adhering a medical device to a biological substrate, such as skin. Said disclosure teaches silicone gel compositions comprising active agents, for instance antibiotics, antiseptics, antifungals, anti-inflammatory agents, hormones, anticancer agents, histamine blockers, beta blockers, vitamins, sedatives, analgesics, proteolytic enzymes, and peptides, which can be bound in the composition. Further, WO2008057155 incidentally teaches including silver and derivatives as active agents that can be bound in the composition, but information about the parameters governing therapeutic efficacy, as well as efficacy validation, is largely absent.
- the present invention pertains to antimicrobial compositions, antimicrobial gels, and antimicrobial dressings, as well as methods for the preparation of said antimicrobial gels and dressings, and various uses thereof.
- the present invention relates to antimicrobial compositions comprising at least one alkenyl- and/or alkynyl-substituted polydiorganosiloxane, at least one polysiloxane comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms and at least one hydrosilylation catalyst, wherein said composition further comprises at least one silver salt and at least one hydrophilic component (which may enhance silver release) that exerts a swelling effect, as well as antimicrobial gels produced from said antimicrobial composition through crosslinking the at least one alkenyl- and/or alkynyl-substituted polysiloxane and the at least one polysiloxane comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms (i.e. Si-H moieties).
- the invention pertains to further aspects relating to antimicrobial gels, inter alia prepared from compositions in accordance with the present invention, for instance through curing, as well as antimicrobial dressings comprising said antimicrobial gels.
- the antimicrobial gels as per the present invention may be formed by creating at least one covalent bond between at least one alkenyl and/or alkynyl moiety of a first polysiloxane and at least one Si-H moiety of second polysiloxane, said antimicrobial gel further comprising at least one hydrosilylation catalyst, wherein said antimicrobial gel further comprises at least one silver salt, and at least one (optionally silver release-enhancing) hydrophilic component that makes said antimicrobial gel swell at least 5% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, as measured by the free swell absorption method.
- Said three mixtures may comprise (i) at least one alkenyl- and/or alkynyl- functional polysiloxane, at least one hydrosilylation catalyst and, optionally, silica particles, (ii) at least one alkenyl- and/or alkynyl-functional polysiloxane, at least one CE and/or at least one CL, and, optionally, silica particles, and (iii) at least one silver salt and at least one siloxane-containing copolymer.
- At least one silver-release enhancing hydrophilic component is mixed with mixture (i) and/or mixture (ii), followed by optionally heating the obtained mixture(s) to which the silver-release enhancing hydrophilic component was added, in order to melt the silver-release enhancing hydrophilic component.
- the resulting mixtures are thereafter mixed and, after optional coating of a suitable substrate, cured, thus creating either an antimicrobial gel and/or an antimicrobial dressing, in accordance with the present invention.
- the present invention thus provides antimicrobial compositions, gels, and dressings having substantially improved properties compared to the antimicrobial products for wound treatment constituting the current art.
- the presence of silver-containing compounds, such as silver salts and/or silver ions, and (optionally silver release- enhancing) hydrophilic components in the compositions, as well as in the gels and dressings, confer antimicrobial properties not only to the products per se, but also imply that the silver salts/ions can exert antimicrobial effects in surrounding areas.
- the silver release can be modulated through the use of various different hydrophilic components that causes the compositions and gels to swell, thereby enhancing the inflow of liquid and the dispersions and distribution of the silver compounds, implying that the antimicrobial products and their intrinsic effects can be adapted to suit specific therapeutic purposes, for instance adjustment of the antimicrobial effects depending on the type and nature of wound/burn/injury to be treated, or depending on the infectious agent in question.
- the patient compliance and comfort, and consequently the antimicrobial efficacy is optimized.
- Figure 1 portrays a flow chart describing the various steps associated with an exemplary manufacturing method for antimicrobial gels and/or dressings.
- Figure 2 illustrates a flow chart describing the various steps associated with an exemplary laboratory-scale preparation method for antimicrobial gels and dressings.
- Figure 3 illustrates the reduction of P. aeruginosa and S. aureus after exposure to the antimicrobial gels, and in particular formulation 5N6 disclosed below, of the present invention.
- Figure 4 illustrates the reduction of P. aeruginosa after exposure to selected antimicrobial gels of the present invention.
- Figure 5 illustrates the importance (for enhancing silver release) of the hydrophilic component (silver release is expressed in % of the total added mass of Ag 2 SO 4 at 24h and 48h (from various samples in NaNO 3 solution)).
- the samples denoted 2N1 and 2N2 do not contain any (silver release-enhancing) hydrophilic component, as can be seen from Table 5.
- the present invention pertains inter alia to antimicrobial compositions that inhibit microbial growth, antimicrobial gels, produced inter alia from said compositions, various types of dressings comprising the antimicrobial gels for inhibiting microbial growth, as well as the use of the antimicrobial gels in various types of products for treating wounds and inhibiting microbial growth.
- the at least one hydrophilic component (which may enhance silver release) described in connection with the antimicrobial compositions may naturally also be included in the antimicrobial gels, the excipients described in connection with the antimicrobial gels may also be comprised in the antimicrobial compositions, the at least one silver salt as well as the concentration of the at least one silver salt described in connection with the antimicrobial compositions naturally also apply to the antimicrobial gels, and the antimicrobial effects described in connection with a certain aspect and/or embodiment relating to a certain antimicrobial gel may also be exerted by other antimicrobial gels, all in accordance with the present invention.
- a first aspect of the present invention relates to antimicrobial, silicone gel-forming compositions inhibiting microbial growth, wherein the compositions comprise at least one alkenyl- and/or alkynyl-substituted polysiloxane, at least one polysiloxane comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, and at least one hydro silylation catalyst, wherein said composition further comprises at least one silver salt and at least one (optionally silver release-enhancing) hydrophilic component, and wherein said at least one hydrophilic component makes said antimicrobial composition, when cross-linked, swell at least 5% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, as measured by the free swell absorption method.
- the swelling may be at least 10% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 20% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 20% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 30% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 40% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 50% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 75% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 100% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 150% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 200% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 300% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 400% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 500% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least at least 10% (wt/w
- the swelling may be measured at different time points, for instance at 48 hours or at 72 hours, and also at these time points the swelling may be at least 10% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 20% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 20% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 30% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 40% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 50% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 75% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 100% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 150% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 200% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 300% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 400% (wt/wt) after 24 hours in Solution A, or at least 10%
- the free swell absorption method employing Solution A is a standard methodology used within the field for assessing swelling capacity.
- the free swell method is described in more detail below, but briefly the assay encompasses placing a pre- weighed dressing sample in a quantity of test solution (in this case, Solution A) which is 40 times the mass of the sample. The sample is then allowed to absorb Solution A for a specific time at a specific temperature, after which the sample is weighed again, in order to determine the free swell absorption capacity.
- the silver compounds and/or salts endow the composition with antimicrobial properties, whereas the release-enhancing hydrophilic component promotes efficient release of the silver salt, thereby enhancing the antimicrobial efficacy of the composition.
- the presence of at least one hydrophilic component exhibiting a certain free swell in the antimicrobial composition increases the solubilization, the dispersion, and the inflow of liquid into the composition, thereby increasing the release of silver and increasing the antimicrobial properties of the composition.
- the at least one polysiloxane comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms may, as is well-known within the art, comprise inter alia at least one chain extender (CE) and/or at least one crosslinker (CL).
- Chain extenders generally comprise polysiloxanes having hydrogen atoms attached to terminal silicon- atoms
- crosslinkers normally comprise polysiloxanes having hydrogen-substituted silicon atoms covalently bound only to the internal, non-terminal silicon atoms.
- Both branched and linear polysiloxanes having various different chemical natures as well as various viscosities may be utilized in accordance with the present invention.
- the at least one alkenyl- and/or alkynyl-substituted polydiorganosiloxane and the at least one polysiloxane comprising silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms may have hydrogen or various hydrocarbon substituents, such as saturated or unsaturated, branched or linear, C 1 -C 20 , preferably C 1 -C5, hydrocarbon chains, optionally with heteroatoms present.
- said organic substituents may comprise methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, vinyl, allyl, and/or aryl, and combinations of these, in any suitable position, for instance as pendant or terminal groups.

- Platinum catalyst, Cat 51 1 was obtained from Hanse Chemie, silica, HI 5, was obtained from Wacker Chemie, mannitol was obtained from Sigma Aldrich, Polyethyleneglycol 3000 S was obtained from Clariant (referred to as PEG 3000 below), Pluriol 6005 and Pluriol 8005 were obtained from BASF (referred to as PEG 6000 and PEG 8000, respectively), silver sulfate (Ag 2 SO 4 ) was obtained from Alpha Aesar (stock number 1 1417), and Velvesil plus and Velvesil 125 were obtained from Momentive.
- Example 1 Silicone gel compositions Silicone gel compositions were prepared by mixing together the components in the amounts listed below. First, a silicone gel formulation was prepared, which was utilized together with the antimicrobial and release-enhancing additives.
- the silicone gel was prepared in a two-component system in order to separate the catalyst and the crosslinker/chain extender prior to the curing process.
- Component A may, inter alia, comprise the following components:
- Vinyl terminated PDMS Vin 1000
- Silica HDK, HI 5
- Component B may, inter alia, comprise the following components:
- the polymers including Vin 1000, CL, and CE, were mixed in a jar and blended 2 min in the Speedmixer.
- Example 2 Silicone formulation with silver sulfate and PEG
- a formulation was prepared using a method comprising the following steps: 1) Adding a silicone component A (3,75 g), in accordance with example 1, in a jar with PEG 8000 (3 g).
- Example 3 Silicone formulation with silver sulfate and mannitol
- a formulation was prepared using a method comprising the following steps:
- the formulations were coated on a film substrate comprising polyurethane. Test pieces with a diameter of 20 mm were punched and subjected to antimicrobial testing according to the CZoI method and the two-compartment test method.
- Example 4 Silicone formulation with silver sulfate and CMC
- a formulation was prepared using a method comprising the following steps:
- Table 4 The formulations were coated on a film substrate comprising polyurethane. Test pieces with a diameter of 20 mm were punched and subjected to antimicrobial testing according to the CZoI method and the two-compartment test method.
- Example 5 Addition of silver sulfate and CMC with the addition of silicone polyether
- component B (Dow corning 7-9900) was added and blended in the mixer.
- the sample cured to a gel.
- Example 6 addition of silver sulfate and CMC with the addition of silicone polyether crosspolymer
- silicone polyether crosspolymer (Momentive, Velvesil plus) was added and blended in the speed mixer for 2 min
- component B (Dow corning 7-9900) was added and blended in the mixer.
- Example 7 Silver release and antimicrobial effects
- the antimicrobial effects of the antimicrobial gels of the present invention were evaluated for a number of differently formulated gels, as summarized in Table 5 below. Essentially no antimicrobial activity was detected when omitting the at least one (optionally silver release-enhancing) hydrophilic component (cf. samples 2N1 and 2N2 in Table 5 below). Additionally, hydrophilic components that do not at all enhance the swelling of the antimicrobial products as per the present invention analogously cause essentially no antimicrobial effects. Thus, it is clear that the swelling effects mediated by the hydrophilic components as per the present invention result in enhanced antimicrobial efficacy.
- the antimicrobial gels prepared in accordance with the present invention displayed desirable properties both in terms of silver release over time and in terms of antimicrobial effects, with the antimicrobial efficacy being based on measurements of corrected zone of inhibition (CZoI) (Table 4), on the reduction of the number of colony-forming units (CFU) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa only ( Figure 4) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus (Figure 3), and on the modified ISO antimicrobial contact method.
- CZoI corrected zone of inhibition
- CFU colony-forming units
- Figure 4 displays data resulting from two-compartment model tests on P. aeruginosa, based on antimicrobial gels in accordance with the present invention, comprising excipients such as PEG and mannitol. Substantial antimicrobial effects can be seen with both gels, with at least four logs reduction in CFU/ml over time frames as long as one week
