Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of copper silicate for treating and preventing Herpes virus (HV) infections and diseases and in particular diseases caused by HSV- 1 or HSV-2 such as herpes and Varicella zoster (VZV) such as shingles.
  • HV Herpes virus
  • HSV- 1 or HSV-2 such as herpes and Varicella zoster
  • VZV Varicella zoster
  • the present invention also relates to copper silicate compositions specifically adapted to treat HV infections.
  • Herpes simplex virus enters the host by direct contact, is spread to a target tissue only, spreads within the host via neuronal axonal flow, targets the dorsal root ganglia and after recovery of the host from an acute infection, remains latent in the targeted tissue.
  • HSV disrupts host cell molecular functions and host cellular structure and is manifested clinically as host cellular death, resulting in shallow, painful vesicular ectodermal lesions or by hemorrhagic encephalitic necrosis of the brain.
  • Target tissues for HSV are the skin or mucous membranes usually derived from embryonic ectoderm: mouth, skin, vagina, conjunctiva, cornea, etc.
  • the virus enters the host cell by direct mucosal contact or by direct contact of abraded skin. In the skin the virus replicates in epithelial cells and then enters local sensory neurons. The virus travels to the dorsal root ganglia via retrograde axonal flow where it establishes permanent residency.
  • latency a state in which the viral lytic genes are silenced and only the latency locus is transcriptionally active. Although latent most of the time, it reactivates intermittently, travels down the sensory nerve and causes vesicular eruptions at or near the site of initial invasion. Alternatively the virus may invade the CNS and cause encephalitis.
  • HSV herpes simplex Type 1 seroprevalence for men and women has decreased from 75.3 and 80.6% in 1973 to 54.4 and 59.6%, respectively in 1993 and where Herpes simplex Type 2 (HSV-2) seroprevalence has decreased from 10.2 and 9.9% in 1973 to 1.8 and 1.2%, respectively in 1993, to quite high in Africa where all adult study groups have a high HSV-1 seroprevalence of >80%.
  • HSV infects more than 50% of the adult population, but some infections may be unrecognized. About half of these develop clinical manifestations of the disease. It's most significant manifestations are keratitis, genital lesions and labial vesicular lesions ("cold sores").
  • HSV-1 infection A common manifestation of HSV-1 infection is cold sores.
  • HSV-1 also causes herpes keratitis (cornea). This disease is identified by a typically unusual dendritic-patterned corneal ulcer that tends to be recurrent and very often leads to scarring with a reduction of vision, sometimes to the level of legal blindness.
  • HSV-1 also causes herpes labialis, peri-orbital, peri-oral, peri-nasal skin eruptions and, in older patients, the virus has been associated with herpes zoster ("shingles") infection of the upper trunk.
  • HSV-2 causes the most prevalent sexually transmitted disease in the United States and visits to physicians for genital herpes simplex virus infection continue to increase. As many as 30 million Americans are infected with HSV-2. About half of these carriers are symptomatic. The clinical manifestations range from mild genital inflammation to severe, very painful, vesicular lesions and ulceration. Systemic involvement in the most severe cases may include hepatitis. Brain damage and death often are the result of HSV-2 acquired by a newborn infant as it passes through an infected birth canal. HSV-2 can also cause cold sores but this is relatively uncommon.
  • VZV Varicella-zoster virus
  • VZV reactivates much less often than HSV — in association with waning T-cell immunity — usually causing only one lifetime episode of herpes zoster (shingles). Nevertheless, VZV causes more severe damage to the nerve and dorsal root ganglia than HSV, leading to pain and often neural dysfunction. Prolonged pain may result from scarring of neural tissue.
  • Herpes zoster can develop at any age, but the highest incidence is after 60 years. Overall, it occurs in 20% of the population, with more than one recurrence in 4%.
  • the present invention seeks to overcome the above problems by providing a safe, relatively inexpensive and effective treatment for viral skin diseases such as those caused by HSV and VZV.
  • the present invention provides for the use of copper silicate to control Herpes virus (HV).
  • HV Herpes virus
  • the present invention also provides a method of treating a HV infection in a subject, the method comprising the step of administering to said subject an effective amount of copper silicate.
  • the present invention further provides for the use of copper silicate for preparing a medicament for treating the clinical manifestations of HV infections such as cold sores (predominantly caused by HSV-1) or the sores associated with genital herpes (predominantly caused by HSV-2).
  • the present invention still further provides a method of treating or preventing HV infection in a subject, the method comprising the step of repeatedly topically administering an effective amount of copper silicate.
  • the copper silicate may be used as part of combination therapy.
  • the present invention also provides a method of treating or preventing HV infection in a subject, the method comprising the step(s) of topically administering an effective amount of copper silicate and (ii) administering to said subject an effective amount of at least one other anti-viral agent or an effective amount of at least one anaesthetic.
