Definitions
- Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin. Dermatitis actually refers to a number of skin conditions that inflame the skin. Dermatitis is characterized by skin that may be red, swollen, blistered, scabbed, scaly, oozing, or itchy. Some types of dermatitis are caused by allergies, while the majority does not have any known causes.
- Dermatitis There are many types of dermatitis that require clinical care by a physician or other healthcare professional. The following are some of the examples of Dermatitis: Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema), Contact Dermatitis, Dermatitis Herpetiformis, Generalized Exfoliative Dermatitis, Seborrheic Dermatitis
- Wounds are heterogeneous and the wound healing process is of a multifactorial nature, influenced by many factors and compounds, introduced externally.
- wound pharmacology is the study of agents and their actions in wound environment.
- agents drugs, biologies and special biologies such as those produced by biotechnology.
- Conventional drugs can be categorized by route of administration (topical, systemic or both).
- the kinetics are relatively easy to study and can serve as a guide for development of more complex agents.
- biologies are naturally occurring synthetic or modified proteins and carbohydrates. There are generally large molecules that possess an increased complexity and a pleiotropic effect.
- Topical and systemic inflammatory treatment compositions typically employ corticosteroids in a base component.
- the active ingredients typically comprise Corticosteroids such as Betamethasone Valerate, Betamethasone dipropionate, Beclometasone dipropionate Hydrocortisone, Clobetasol propionate, Clobetasone butyrate, Halobetasol propionate, Halcinonide, Fluocinonide, Triamcinolone acetonide, Fluticasone propionate, Amcinonide, Hydrocortisone acetate, Diflorasone diacetate, Prednicarbate and like.
- Corticosteroids such as Betamethasone Valerate, Betamethasone dipropionate, Beclometasone dipropionate Hydrocortisone, Clobetasol propionate, Clobetasone butyrate, Halobetasol propionate, Halcinonide, Fluocinonide, Triamcinolone acetonide, Fluticasone propionate, Amcinonide, Hydrocortisone acetate, Dif
- Chitosan is a biopolymer with skin regeneration and rejuvenation properties due to its unique physical nature. Chitosan acts as a biocatalyst in accelerating the wound healing. Due to its positive charge it couples with negatively charged blood cells and aids in clotting of blood. It also helps in controlling the microbial mobility because of its charge and prevents spread of infections. As a micro-film forming bio material, Chitosan helps in reducing the width of the wound, controls the oxygen permeability at the site, and absorbs wound discharge, which is very much essential for faster wound healing. It also reduces the itching by providing a soothing effect.
- Wound healing or wound repair, is the body's natural process of regenerating dermal and epidermal tissue. When an individual is wounded, a set of complex biochemical events takes place in a closely orchestrated cascade to repair the damage.
- Wound healing is a complicated process that recruits at least 4 distinct cell types. Though the process is continuous, it is commonly referred to as occurring in "phases.”
- the main phases of wound healing include coagulation, which begins immediately after injury; inflammation, which initiates shortly thereafter; a migratory and proliferate process, which begins within days and includes the major processes of healing; and a remodeling process, which may last for up to a year and is responsible for scar tissue formation and development of new skin.
- Wound healing is affected by several factors. These include local factors (growth factors, edema and ischemia, low oxygen tension, and infection), regional factors (arterial insufficiency, venous insufficiency and neuropathy), systemic factors (inadequate perfusion and metabolic disease) and other miscellaneous factors, such as nutritional state, preexisting illnesses, exposure to radiation therapy and smoking.
- local factors growth factors, edema and ischemia, low oxygen tension, and infection
- regional factors arterial insufficiency, venous insufficiency and neuropathy
- systemic factors inadequate perfusion and metabolic disease
- other miscellaneous factors such as nutritional state, preexisting illnesses, exposure to radiation therapy and smoking.
- chronic wounds may be managed by preventing or medically treating infections through debridement and occlusive dressings. For wounds that are unresponsive to such interventions, the use of skin replacements is becoming a viable option.
- Wound healing is essential to continued life. Its components overlap and are commonly seen as “phases”. Coagulation performs its function of hemostasis, initiating healing and leaving behind messengers that bring on an inflammatory process. Inflammation protects the wound from infection and leaves behind its own set of messengers, important signals that bring on the migration and proliferation of macrophages, lymphocytes, fibroblasts, keratinocytes and endothelial cells. A phase follows in which fibroblasts become dominant and a collagenous matrix is deposited. Finally, there is a remodeling process that rarely restores full, normal structure. Each of these components plays a specific and irreplaceable role in the continuum of healing. A delay in, or absence of any one can result in a prolongation or even a prohibition of healing.
- Figure 1 shows the film formed when using the formulation of the present invention.
- the present invention is directed to a composition for treating skin inflammation (Dermatitis), skin regeneration, rejuvenation and wound healing containing: a) A Chitosan component which is an unbranched binary polysaccharides consisting of the two units N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine used for the treatment of skin regeneration, rejuvenation and wound healing. b) Corticosteroids like Betamethasone Valerate used in treating skin inflammations. c) A cream base containing any of the ingredients selected from a group comprising primary and secondary emulsifiers, waxy materials, co-solvents, acids, preservatives, buffering agents, anti-oxidants, chelating agents and humectants. d) Water
- the active ingredient corticosteroid and chitosan component are incorporated in cream base for use in treating skin inflammation due to allergy, itching and wounds on human skin, above identified composition have good contact with the wounded human skin.
- the active compounds which may be employed in the present invention are topical corticosteroids like Betamethasone Valerate and a bio polymer for treating skin inflammation and wounds.
- biopolymer examples include, but are not limited to Chitosan and the like.
- suitable topical Corticosteroids examples include, but are not limited to, Betamethasone Valerate, and like.
- actives require a base component to be used in the pharmaceutical composition that uses the actives, since the actives cannot, by themselves, be deposited directly on to human skin due to their harshness.
- the base component usually contains primary and secondary emulsifiers, waxy materials, co-solvents, acids, preservatives, buffering agents, chelating agents, humectants and the like.
- Chitosan is an un-branched binary polysaccharide consisting of the two units N- Acetyl-D-glucosamine and D-glucosamine linked in ⁇ (1, 4) manner.
- Chitosan Poly- ⁇ - (1, 4)-2-Amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose.
- Chitosan is produced by partial deacetylation (Not less than 70 %) of Chitin, which is extracted from the shells of shrimp and crab.
- Chitosan finds its application in various areas including Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics and Food industry. It is official in European Pharmacopeia and official in USP/NF as an excipient. It is used as a film forming, mucoadhesive and viscosity-increasing agent. It is also used as a binder and disintegrating agent in tablet formulation.
- Chitosan generally absorbs moisture from the atmosphere / environment and the amount absorbed depends upon the initial moisture content, temperature and relative humidity of the environment.
- Chitosan due to its unique physical property accelerates wound healing and wound repair. It is positively charged and soluble in acidic to neutral solution. Chitosan is bioadhesive and readily binds to negatively charged surfaces such as mucosal membranes. Chitosan enhances the transport of polar drugs across epithelial surfaces. Chitosan's properties allow it to rapidly clot blood, and has recently gained approval in the USA for use in bandages and other hemostatic agents.
- Chitosan is hypoallergenic, and has natural anti-bacterial properties, further supporting its use.
- a therapeutic application for chitin was first recognized by fishermen in ancient China who revered it for its natural wound healing properties. More recently a number of scientific studies have been conducted to investigate how chitin and its chitosan derivatives may modulate wound healing.
- Chitosan helps in reducing the width of the wound, controls the oxygen permeability at the site, absorbs wound discharge and gets degraded by tissue enzymes which are very much required for healing at a faster rate. It also reduces the itching by providing a soothing effect. It also acts like a moisturizer.
- Wound repair is a complex process involving an integrated response by many different cell types controlled by a variety of growth factors. During the initial inflammatory phase fibroblasts start to enter the wound where they synthesize and later remodel new extracelluar matrix material of which collagen is the main component.
- the dermal response is only one aspect of cutaneous wound repair however, the outermost and vital barrier layer, the epidermis which is composed of several layers of keratinocytes must also be restored.
- basal layer keratinocytes migrate from the wound edge and from injured epidermal appendages (hair follicles and sweat glands) into the defect, moving over the newly formed dermal scaffolding. They proliferate, stratify and differentiate to produce a neo-epidermis to cover the wound and restore the skin's barrier function.
- Topical corticosteroids are a powerful tool for treating skin diseases.
- Corticosteroids include drugs like Betamethasone Valerate, Betamethasone Dipropionate, Beclometasone Dipropionate, Hydrocortisone, Clobetasol propionate, Clobetasone butyrate, Halobetasol propionate, Halcinonide, Fluocinonide, Triamcinolone acetonide, Fluticasone propionate, Amcinonide, Hydrocortisone acetate, Diflorasone diacetate, Prednicarbate, etc. Understanding the correct use of these agents will result in the successful management of a variety of skin problems.
- Topical corticosteroids have antiinflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive properties.
- Corticosteroids are thought to act by the induction of phospholipase A2 inhibitory proteins, collectively called lipocortins. It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor Arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids by phospholipase A2. Topical corticosteroids are classified by their potency, ranging from weak to extremely potent. They include weak potent steroids, moderate potent steroids, potent steroids, very potent steroids and extremely potent steroids.
- the high potency steroids include Betamethasone Valerate, Betamethasone Dipropionate, Betamethasone Valerate, Diflorasone Diacetate, Clobetasol Propionate, Halobetasol Propionate, Desoximetasone, Diflorasone Diacetate, Fluocinonide, Triamcinolone Acetonide, etc.
- Low potency topical steroids include Desonide, Fluocinolone acetate, and Hydrocortisone, etc.
- Topical corticosteroid is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses.
- Betamethasone is a moderately potent glucocorticoid steroid with antiinflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. Unlike other drugs with these effects, betamethasone does not cause water retention. It is applied as a topical cream, ointment, foam, lotion or gel to treat itching (e.g. from eczema). Betamethasone sodium phosphate is sometimes prescribed as an intramuscular injection (I.M) for itching from various ailments including allergic reactions to poison ivy and similar plants.
- I.M intramuscular injection
- the compound is available as a number of ester derivatives: Dipropionate (branded as Diprosone, Diprolene and others), Sodium Phosphate and Valerate (branded as Betnovate, Celestone and others). Betamethasone Valerate is chemically designated as 9-Fluoro-l ip, 17, 21- trihydroxy- 16P-methylpregna- 1 ,4-diene-3 ,20-dione 17-valerate.
- Betamethasone Valerate The molecular formula and weight of Betamethasone Valerate are C27H37FO6 and 476.58 g/mol respectively. 1.2 mg of Betamethasone Valerate is equivalent to 1.0 mg Betamethasone.
- the topical corticosteroids constitute a class of primarily synthetic steroids and are used as anti-inflammatory and antipruritic agents.
- Betamethasone Valerate is a white to practically white, odorless powder. It melts at 190° C with decomposition. It is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in acetone and in chloroform, soluble in alcohol, and slightly soluble in benzene and in ether. Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action
- Betamethasone Valerate as a topical corticosteroid has anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and vasoconstrictive actions.
- Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. Thus, occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses.
- topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolized primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. Some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile. Indications
- Betamethasone Valerate is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid-responsive dermatoses.
- Creams are semisolid emulsions, which are mixtures of oil and water in which APIs (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) are incorporated. They are divided into two types: oil-in-water (O/W) creams which compose of small droplets of oil dispersed in a continuous water phase, and water-in-oil (W/O) creams which compose of small droplets of water dispersed in a continuous oily phase. Oil-in-water creams are user-friendly and hence cosmetically acceptable as they are less greasy and more easily washed with water.
- An ointment is a viscous semisolid preparation containing APIs, which are used topically on a variety of body surfaces.
- the vehicle of an ointment is known as ointment base.
- the choice of a base depends upon the clinical indication of the ointment, and the different types of ointment bases normally used are:
- Hydrocarbon bases e.g. hard paraffin, soft paraffin
- Absorption bases e.g. wool fat, bees wax
- the acidic scale of pH is from 1 to 7, and the base scale of pH is from 7 to 14.
- cream formulations are available as creams. Active compounds in cream formulations are available in ionized state, whereas in case of ointments these are present in non -ionized state.
- the cream formulations are the first choice of the formulators in design and development of topical dosage forms, as the cream formulations are cosmetically elegant, and also as the active compound is available in ionized state, and the drug can penetrate the skin layer fast which makes the formulation totally patient friendly.
- the pH of the Chitosan Cream with Betamethasone Valerate, of the present invention is from about 3 to 6.
- ointments that are commercially available are greasy and cosmetically non elegant.
- the active compound in an ointment is in non-ionized form, the penetration of skin is slow.
- the active drug penetrates the skin for the optimum bio-dermal efficacy.
- the particle size of the active drug plays an important role here. It is necessary that the active drug is available in colloidal or molecular dispersed state for the product being highly efficacious form. Also this is to be achieved in the safe pH compatible environment of skin (4.0 to 6.0). To achieve all these, it is essential to choose proper vehicles or co-solvents for the dissolution or dispersion of the drug.
- the product of the present invention is highly efficacious due to the pronounced anti-inflammatory & wound healing activity of the active ingredients, which are available in ultramicro-size, colloidal form, which enhances skin penetration.
- Dermatological conditions are often caused by allergy accompanied by inflammation, irritation and itching.
- Betamethasone Valerate provides much wanted rapid relief of the pruritus.
- Betamethasone Valerate is recommended for severe eczematic eruptions to provide instant relief to patients from itching and burning. Also the monotherapy with Betamethasone Valerate will help in avoiding the allergenic response to antifungals and antibacterials.
- the inclusion of Chitosan in the formulation takes care of many attributes, which are considered to be very much essential in treating skin ailments.
- Chitosan is a film forming, biocompatible, non-allergenic biopolymer, it protects the skin by acting as a barrier.
- Betamethasone Valerate takes care of the inflammation. But the issues like skin protection, mobility of pathogens from one site to another, etc. are not addressed so far.
- This present invention will fill this gap by an innovative technology of incorporating Chitosan and tapping the required benefits of skin protection (by way of film forming property), immobilization of pathogenic microbes (due to its cationic electrostatic property) and wound healing.
- Chitosan is regarded as a non-toxic and non-irritant material. It is biocompatible with both healthy and infected skin and has been shown to be biodegradable as it is derived from shrimps and crabs.
- GAGs GlycosAminoGlycans
- GAGs like Heparin, Heparin sulfate, Hyaluronic acid and Keratin sulfate are all derivatives of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose) and present in all parts of human body.
- GAGs are essential building blocks of macromolecular frame work of connective and other tissues. Fetal wounds are known to heal without scars and this has been attributed to fetal skins being rich in hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan).
- Chitosan/Polyglucosamine is structurally similar to hyaluronan and is expected to assist scarless wound healing. Heparin enhances mitogen by induction and stabilization of fibroblast growth stimulating factor (FGF). Polyglucosamine may promote tissue growth and wound healing by forming complexes with heparin and acting to prolong the half-life of the growth factors.
- FGF fibroblast growth stimulating factor
- Chitosan is hypoallergenic, and has natural anti-bacterial properties, further supporting its use.
- Chitosan helps in reducing the width of the wound, controls the oxygen permeability at the site, absorbs wound discharge and gets degraded by tissue enzymes which are very much required for healing at a faster rate. It also reduces the itching by providing a soothing effect. It also acts like a moisturizer.
- the novel cream of the present invention are most stable/efficacious at ambient conditions and does not need special temperature control during transportation/storage - hence will go a long way in achieving the objectives.
- currently available therapies do not address the issues like protecting the skin, arresting the bleeding etc.
- the unique innovative formulation of the present invention takes care of the skin conditions by treating them along with controlling the superficial bleeding at the site. It is well understood that if the superficial bleeding is left untreated, it will lead to secondary microbial infections.
- the present invention advantageously provides a solution to this unmet need.

- Betamethasone Valerate 0.12% w/w Cream of the invention than the reference product shown to be clinically equivalent in terms of anti-inflammatory activity.
- the primary skin irritation is the production of reversible damage in the skin. Topical exposure of chemicals, drugs etc., can lead to the adverse skin effects. According to the severity and reversibility of effects the products can be distinguished into irritant or corrosive. So the experimental study was performed to assess the possible hazard likely to arise from exposure of topical formulation to the human skin. Thus primary skin irritation study was carried out for the newly formulated dermal cream- Betamethasone Valerate Cream (the invention) to determine its irritant response to the skin after single exposure. From the experimental study it was concluded that the formulation of Betamethasone Valerate Cream (the invention) score for the primary skin irritation index was 0. Hence, the Betamethasone Valerate Cream (the invention) was non- irritant and dermal-friendly.
- the therapeutic efficacy of topically applied cream of the present invention is due to the pronounced anti-inflammatory activity in pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses and soothing properties of chitosan.
- the present invention offers the following advantages and unique aspects over the currently available dermaceutical compositions for inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses of the skin.
- the cream of the present invention incorporates a skin- friendly biopolymer in the form of chitosan provides enhanced therapeutic outcomes. This is evident from the faster relief from inflammation and infection.
- the cream of the present invention incorporates a biopolymer without compromising the stability of the cream matrix and without adversely affecting the functioning of known active pharmaceutical ingredients. This has been achieved through a careful selection of functional excipients to bypass undesirable aspects of physicochemical compatibility/ stability and bio-release. 3.
- the cream of the present invention provides an integrated unit-dose or a single-dose therapy hitherto unavailable in prescription dermaceutical formulations.
- the novel cream of the present invention is adequately stable / efficacious at ambient conditions.
