Definitions
- ABSTRACT A process for the purification of coal tar. This process comprises treating commercially available coal tar with a fatty acid ester, extracting the fatty acid ester treated coal tar with a higher molecular weight hydrocarbon such as squalane and recovering the hydrocarbon-extracted product.
- the coal tar thus treated is dermatologically more acceptable and clinically more effective than known coal tar extracts or preparations and can be incorporated into many dermatologically acceptable vehicles.
- the present invention is concerned with a novel process and, more particularly, the present invention is concerned with a novel process for the purification of coal tar to obtain a product which has all the desirable therapeutic features of coal tar but without the staining and irritating properties.
- the present invention also embraces within its scope the purified coal tar as well as compositions containing the same.
- coal tar is obtained as a by-product during the destructive distillation of bituminous coal. It occurs as a black viscous liquid having a characteristic naphthalene-like odor.
- dermatologically acceptable vehicles such as ointments, lotions or solutions, it is useful in the treatment of a variety of chronic skin diseases. Because of its characteristic irritation index and because of the fact that coal tar does form a dark stain, these properties do render coal tar less desirable for application to the skin.
- a primary object of the invention is to provide a process for extracting the dermatologically active fractions of coal tar to yield a product without the staining and irritating properties of untreated coal tar.
- Another object of this invention is to provide a pro cess for preparing a coal tar extract which is therapeutically potent and can be incorporated into dermatologically acceptable dosage forms.
- Yet another object of this invention is to provide dosage forms incorporating the purified coal tar of this invention.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a process whereby crude coal tar can be readily purified.
- crude coal tar is treated with a fatty acid ester followed by treating the fatty acid ester treated coal tar through an extraction process employing high molecular weight hydrocarbon such as squalane.
- a fatty acid ester is added to crude coal tar.
- squalane is added which causes the precipitation of a pitch-like substance.
- the supernatant liquid is recovered by separation procedures such as decantation and the pitch-like substance is discarded.
- fatty acid esters which can be advantageously employed in the practice of this invention are those having a total of 15 to 22 carbon atoms, for example, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate and the like. While squalane is the preferred hydrocarbon, other branched chain hydrocarbons such as squalene may also be advantageously employed.
- the temperature to effect the process of this invention is not critical and can be carried out at an ambient temperature, e.g., between 2030C.
- the new coal tar derivative of this invention can be incorporated in many dosage forms where the new coal tar derivative of this invention can be incorporated are, for example, shampoo, ointment, lotion, solutions and the like.
- These dermatologically known vehicles are well known to the pharmacists art. Generally speaking, from 1 to 10 percent by weight is incorporated into such vehicles.
- the coal tar derivative of this invention can be prepared as an ointment by mixing 10 grams with 990 grams of Zinc Oxide Paste, U.S.P. The patient applies such an ointment liberally to the affected site two or three times daily.
- EXAMPLE 1 Into a vessel there is charged 100 grams of Coal Tar, U.S.P. While agitating, 25 grams of isopropyl myristate is added gradually until a homogenous mixture is obtained. To this is added 25 grams of squalane, with agitation, until precipitation is complete. The mixture is allowed to stand and the supernatant liquid is recovered by careful decantation. The recovered supernatant liquid has a viscosity of 10 to 50 cps as determined by the Brookfield Viscometer No. l spindle at 60 rpm and a spec. grav. at 25C of 0.88 to 0.95.
- EXAMPLE 2 A new coal tar ointment is prepared as follows: 10 grams of the coal tar as prepared from Example 1 is mixed with 5 grams of polysorbate and the resulting mixture is blended with 985 grams of Zinc Oxide Paste, U.S.l.
- a process for the purification of coal tar which comprises:
