Definitions

  • the invention is related to treatment of inflammatory diseases of the mouth using anti-inflammatory steroids in combination with antifungal drugs in an aqueous medium as a mouthwash.
  • Treatment with topical corticosteroids as presently formulated and administered has significant limitations.
  • Existing commercially available compositions are usually supplied as creams, gels, or ointments that are intended for cutaneous applications. Such preparations are not readily acceptable to patients for use on the mucosa.
  • the prior art compositions must be applied frequently (up to six times a day) .
  • the compositions are not readily applied to the areas of the oral cavity that are difficult to reach.
  • treatment with ste ⁇ roids causes increased susceptibility to fungal infections of the mouth. This complication is especially common in patients suffering from oral lichen planus, a condition in which Candida is found to colonize mouth lesions in 25% of the patients.
  • Kena- log (TM) 10 Injection is an aqueous suspension used for intradermal, intra-articular, and intrabursal administra ⁇ tion.
  • the suspension is not appropriate for use intrave ⁇ nously or intramuscularly, and there is no suggestion that the suspension can be used as a mouthwash or swish for treatment of inflammatory diseases of the oral cavity.
  • Aristospan (TM) is also used as a suspension for intrale- sional administration and is available as a cream for topical application.
  • Kenalog-H (TM) cream is applied topically to the skin. All of these preparations have, as an untoward effect, an increased susceptibility to fungal infections.
  • a preparation containing an antifungal, nystatin, and a steroid, triamcinolone acetonide, is pro ⁇ vided as a cream under the trade name Mycolog II. It is not appropriate for use as a mouthwash.
  • a preparation containing nystatin for use as a swish (mouthwash) has been available. However, that preparation does not contain any anti-inflammatory steroid as an active agent.
  • R. A. Cawson (Treatment of Oral Lichen Planus with Betamethasone", British Medical Journal. (January 13, 1968)) teaches the use of betamethasone pellets to treat oral lichen planus. Use of hydrocortisone pellets was also tried. The betamethasone pellets were efficacious. Hydro ⁇ cortisone pellets were also tried but were rarely effec ⁇ tive, even when combined with tetracycline mouthwashes.
  • Rothwell and Spektor discloses method of treating patients undergoing irradiation therapy comprising prophylactic use of mouth rinse with a solution containing tetracycline, 500 mg; nystatin, 1,200,000 U; hydrocortisone, 100 mg; and diphen- hydramine elixir, 10 ml. to make a solution of 25 ml. It is taught that tetracycline is unstable in solution and was, therefore, dispensed as a separate solution. It is not clear if the tetracycline was mixed with the other active agents just before using the rinse. However, the method taught therein was not used to treat existing, chronic inflammatory problems such as oral lichen planus.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a means of treating patients suffering from inflammatory conditions of the mouth using aqueous anti-inflammatory steroids in solutions that can be swished and expectorated as a mouthwash.
  • Such therapy would allow direct contact of the medication with the diseased mucous membranes and would contact areas of the oral cavity that would not usually be reached with application of creams, gels, or ointments.
  • the com ⁇ bination of active agents would alleviate the inflammatory condition while inhibiting the growth of Candida species.
  • the use of such mouthwashes would result in efficient ap ⁇ plication of both agents to all of the surfaces of the oral cavity, including areas that would not be readily reached by application of gels, creams, or ointments. Swishing for three to five minutes, then expectorating the aqueous anti-inflammatory-containing, results in main ⁇ tenance of contact of the active agents with the oral cavity surfaces for a longer time than would application of gels containing those agents.
  • the mode of application is simple and is not repugnant to the patient as is the ap ⁇ plication of creams, gels, or ointments.
  • compositions used as mouthwashes preferably should be in the acidic range since most of the steroids and anti ⁇ fungal agents are more soluble in acidic solutions.
  • a pH of 3.5 to 7 is desirable, with a pH of 4 to 6.5 being more preferable.
  • a solution having a pH of less than 4 would be likely to cause a stinging sensation.
  • Steroids and anti- fungal agents are usually less soluble at pH higher than 7. Furthermore, at higher pH the solutions are often unpleas ⁇ ant to use.
  • Anti-inflammatory steroids are classified according to anti-inflammatory efficacy of the preparation or according to relative effectiveness of the particular active agent used, (i.e., How much active agent is required to obtain a given effect?) Cornell and Soughton, assigning efficacy to each preparation, assign a low efficacy to some prepara- tions of hydrocortisone.
  • a second method of classification ranking relative anti-inflammatory potency ranks anti- inflammatory agents in relation to the amount of agent needed to obtain a given anti-inflammatory effect wherein the more effective agents having a higher number assigned with a ranking of one given to hydrocortisone. Hydrocor ⁇ tisone at a ranking of 1 and is listed as requiring an approximate dosage of 20 mg.
  • Steroids particularly suggest ⁇ ed for use in the method of the invention are triamcinolone and derivatives (particularly diacetate, hexacetonide, and acetonide) , betamethasone and its derivatives (including particularly the dipropionate, benzoate, sodium phosphate, acetate, and valerate) , flunisolide, prednisone and its derivatives, fluocinolone and its derivatives (particularly the acetonide) , diflorasone and derivatives (particularly the diacetate) , halcinonide, desoximetasone, clobetasol (especially the propionate) , alclometasone, fluticasone (particularly the propionate) and desonide.
  • the effective concentration of drug will vary with the active agent used. Concentration would fall within the 0.01% to 1% range. For example, for betamethasone and its derivatives the pre ⁇ ferred concentration would be 0.01% to 0.2% while the preferred concentration of triamcinolones would be 0.025% to 1%.
  • the preferred antifungal agents used in the method of the invention show great effectiveness against Candida species and are poorly absorbed from the mucosa of the intestinal tract. Some preferred antifungal agents are nystatin, clotrimazole, econazole, oxiconazole, keto ⁇ on- azole, miconazole, ciclopirax olamine, amphotericin B, and sulconazole, all of which are poorly absorbed from the intestinal tract. Nystatin and clotrimazole are partic ⁇ ularly preferred agents.
  • the aqueous solution may contain buffers, surfac ⁇ tants, humectants, preservatives, flavorings, stabilizers (including antioxidants) colorants, and other additives used in solutions administered into the oral cavity.
  • buffers surfac ⁇ tants
  • humectants preservatives
  • flavorings include antioxidants
  • stabilizers including antioxidants
  • colorants include colorants
  • other additives used in solutions administered into the oral cavity.
  • other medicinal agents may be added for purposes of alleviating other undesirable conditions in the mouth.
  • Such agents could include, for example, analgesics, anti ⁇ bacterial agents, and emollients.
  • any buffer system commonly used for preparing medicinal compositions would be appropriate.
  • Flavorings used in the dentifrice art such as pepper ⁇ mint, citrus flavorings, berry flavorings, vanilla, cin ⁇ namon, and sweeteners, either natural or artificial, could be used in compositions of the invention.
  • the vehicle used generally is primarily water, other vehicles may be present such as alcohols, glycols (polyethylene glycol or polypropylene glycol are examples) , glycerin, and the like may be used to solubilize the active agents.
  • Surfactants may include anionic, nonionic, ampho- teric and cationic surfactants which are known in the art as appropriate ingredients for mouthwashes.
  • Suitable preservatives include, but are not limited to, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) , butylated hydroxy- toluene (BHT) , benzoic acid, and ascorbic acid.
  • a buffered solution containing benzalkonium chloride 0.02%, and 0.1% benzoic acid in water is adjusted to pH 4.5 with sodium benzoate.
  • Betamethasone dipropionate and nystatin are added in sufficient quantities to provide a composition having a concentration of active agents in excess of 0.05% of betamethasone dipropionate and 100,000 units nystatin per ml.
  • the pH is again adjusted to 4.5 and sufficient buffered solution added to provide a composition having 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate and nystatin 100,000 units per ml. (A dose for swishing is 5 ml.)
  • the solution is supplied in sealed containers contain ⁇ ing 5 ml.
  • the patient is instructed to use one container full three times daily at least three hours before the next meal.
  • the teeth should be cleaned and the mouth rinsed.
  • the solution is to be swished around in the mouth for at least 3 minutes, then expectorated. None is to be taken by mouth for at least 30 minutes after use of the mouth wash.
  • EXAMPLE 2 EXAMPLE 2 :
  • a composition is prepared in the manner disclosed in Example 1.
  • the active anti-inflammatory agent used is triamcinolone added in an amount to provide a final product having triamcinolone 0.1% and nystatin 100,000 units per ml.
  • the composition is packaged in individual doses of 5 ml. in sealed containers. Instructions for use are the same as those for the composition of Example 1.
  • a mouthwash is prepared as indicated in Example 1. However, the preparation is packaged in a bottle containing multiple doses. The patient is instructed to use one tea ⁇ spoon of fluid three times daily at least three hours before the next meal. Before use, the teeth should be cleaned and the mouth rinsed. The solution is to be swished around in the mouth for at least 3 minutes, then expectorated. None is to be taken by mouth for at least 30 minutes after use of the mouthwash.
  • a mouthwash composition is prepared by the method used in Example 1 except that the active agents are replaced with clobetasol propionate 0.05% as the anti-inflammatory steroid and, as the antifungal agent, oxiconazole nitrate 1%.
  • a mouthwash composition is prepared by the method of Example 1 except that the active agents are replaced with the steroid alclometasone dipropionate 0.05% and, as the antifungal agent, oxiconazole nitrate 1%.
  • Example 6 A mouthwash composition is prepared by the method of Example 1 except that the active agents are replaced with the steroid fluticasone propionate 0.05%.
  • Example 7 A mouthwash composition is prepared by the method of Example 1 except that the active agents are replaced with the steroid fluticasone propionate 0.05%.
  • a mouthwash composition is prepared by the method of Example 2 except that the concentration of triamcinolone is .5%. Nystatin dosage is still 100,000 U/ml.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne un procédé permettant de traiter des patients souffrant de pathologies inflammatoires de la cavité buccale, à l'aide de stéroïdes anti-inflammatoires aqueux contenus dans des solutions avec lesquelles on peut se rincer la bouche et qu'on peut ensuite recracher, telles que des bains de bouche. Ce type de thérapie permet de mettre directement en contact le médicament et les membranes malades de la muqueuse et d'atteindre des zones de la cavité buccale qu'on ne peut généralement pas atteindre lorsqu'on applique une crème, un gel ou une pommade. En se rinçant la bouche pendant trois à cinq minutes puis en recrachant le bain de bouche aqueux contenant des stéroïdes anti-inflammatoires, on fait rester les agents actifs plus longtemps en contact avec la muqueuse de la cavité buccale que lorsqu'on applique un gel renfermant ces mêmes agents. Ce mode d'application est simple et ne provoque pas de répugnance de la part des patients comme c'est le cas lorsqu'il s'agit d'appliquer une crème, un gel ou une pommade.
