Description

AN OIL BASED FORMULATION FOR CURE/PAIN MANAGEMENT

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an oil based formulation for rapid tissue healing progressing to cure and resulting in rapid and lasting pain relief in musculoskeletal injuries and disease, cough and sore throat. More particularly, this invention relates to a composition/formulation comprising of vitamin D derivatives/analogues, vitamin E, vitamin A and vitamin K dissolved in a mixture of suitable oils, ethanol/propanol and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers. The invention also provides various formulations and methods of preparing the same.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

All journal articles, other references, patents, and patent applications that are identified in this patent application are incorporated by reference in their entirety.

Damaged tissue results from age, nutritional deficiencies, wear & tear and injury. Pain is generally classified by multiple types and includes, but is not limited to: acute pain and chronic pain caused by damage to tissue such as bone, muscle, or organs. The onset of pain is often accompanied by anxiety or emotional distress and follows damaged tissue/nerve damage.

Pain results from the noxious stimulation of nerve endings. Nociceptive pain is caused by noxious stimulation of nociceptors (e.g., a needle stick or skin pinch), which then transmit impulses over intact neural pathways to the spinal neurons and then to the brain. Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to neural structures, such as damage to peripheral nerve endings or nociceptors, which become extremely sensitive to stimulation and can generate impulses in the absence of stimulation.

Oral/subcutaneous ways for pain relievers are typically prescribed for treatment of acute and chronic pain, including arthritic pain, musculoskeletal pain and neuropathic pain. Oral medicines presently in use may have various side effects including suitability, compatibility to patients, allergies, liver damage and also the amount of drug to be reached at the affected area through systemic circulation for efficacy of the drug and acts for few hours and require frequent repeat doses.

Compositions such as creams, gels, liniments, ointments, balm, lotion, emulsion, suspension, transdermal patch, dermal patch, liquid solution, powder and the like are useful in topical application for pain management. Compositions that readily coat the skin and at the same time provide effective adhesion to the skin surface are preferred. Further, it is useful to have a composition that provides soothing relief to the skin as well as healing activity and less amount of drug enters the body and it minimizes side effects, however the exiting topical applications available provide relief for few hours only and do not provide lasting relief/cure.

Oral or subcutaneous vitamin D is quite effective in disease and resultant pain associated with vitamin D deficiencies, but it takes longer to heal and provide relief or remove pain and may take months. This route does not provide immediate relief especially in joint disease, spinal disease, skin conditions related to vitamin D deficiencies and wounds. Surprisingly the topical/local vitamin D application provides immediate and lasting relief in all indicated conditions.

There is a need for alternative topical composition/formulation that heals for effective relief, pain management progressing to lasting & fast relief and cure which can be applied over perforated or torn skin with minimum or no side effects, irritation and also to have optimum efficacy and that can provide fast/lasting relief and cure.

Vitamin D is a steroid hormone that plays a vital role in calcium and phosphate absorption and tissue healing. It participates in and influences many biological reactions in body directly or indirectly. In recent studies, several associations between low levels of vitamin D and neuropsychiatric disorders have begun to surface. These disorders include, but are not limited to: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, schizophrenia, and autism and many more.

Vitamin D includes Vitamin D-2 (ergocalciferol) and Vitamin D-3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D-3 is produced in human skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet B radiation present in sunlight. Vitamin D is known to regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. Vitamin D contributes to bone growth by helping bones with calcium supplies from food. Lack of adequate Vitamin D can result in bone softening diseases, including rickets and osteomalacia. Even in the absence of osteomalacia, persons with inadequate vitamin D intake may experience osteoporosis, also associated with joint pain, loss of bone density, increased bone fragility and muscular weakness. Vitamin D, in adequate quantities, is also believed to exhibit anti-tumor activity and prevents diabetes. As D-3 is produced in the skin, it can regulate skin cell proliferation and nourishes organs through which it passes on its journey to blood stream.

Vitamin D-3 synthesis is of high importance for the prevention of a broad variety of diseases, including various deficiencies and malignancies. Vitamin D-3 is produced in the epidermal skin layer during sun exposure by conversion of 7 -dch yd roch o lc sterol . 7- Dehydrocholesterol, a cholesterol-like molecule present in the skin, is the precursor of Vitamin D-3 and forms cholecalciferol after being exposed to sunlight. Cholecalciferol is the inactive, unhydroxylated form of Vitamin D-3.

Cholecalciferol is thereafter hydro xylated in the liver to become calcidiol (25- hydroxyvitamin D-3). Calcidiol is further hydro xylated in the kidney to become calcitriol (1, 25- dihydroxy vitamin D-3). Calcitriol is the active hormone form of Vitamin D-3. Furthermore, some vitamin D-3 metabolites have themselves been used as chemotherapeutic agents with anti-proliferative effects against several types of cancer including breast, colon, and prostate tumors, leukemia and lymphomas.

Vitamin D is crucial for musculoskeletal health, maintenance, and function. Vitamin

D insufficiency is common among patients undergoing spine surgery. There is a high prevalence of hypo-vitaminosis D in patients with musculoskeletal pain regardless of surgical intervention.

With the frequency and costs of spinal surgery increasing, it is imperative that efforts are continued to reduce the impact on patients and healthcare services. Studies into vitamin D and its associations with orthopedic surgery have yielded alarming findings with regards to the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency. Importantly, altered vitamin D status also contributes to a wide range of diseased conditions.

The components of the present invention act synergistically with acceptable pharmaceutically excipients and such composition/formulations have never been reported for topical applications with greatly enhanced efficacy.

OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION

in accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that vitamin D can be applied topically in certain formulations that make the vitamin D bioavailable. Surprisingly, when this formulation is topically applied for spinal disorders, spinal disc compressions, sciatica, cervical spondylitis, damaged tissues due to injuries/ageing/nutritional deficiencies, cartilage damages, degraded/painful joints, injuries, wounds, sprains, penile fracture, thrombophlebitis, cough, sore throat, cracks and skin dryness etc. it provides immediate relief from pain and burning. It immediately results in tissue healing and pain & distress relief in around 15-20 minutes (the time taken for penetration of oil to reach affected area) along with removal of associated weakness. By setting in rapid healing/cure and lasting pain relief in injuries, wounds, damaged tissue, sciatica, cervical spondylitis, sprains, backache, joint disease & degradation, cartilage damage, dry skin, cracked skin, acne, boils, abscess, cough, sore throat etc. and removes numbness & pain in affected limbs like legs/feet/arms/hands due to nerve compressions in spine by healing the tissues damaged due to ageing, nutritional deficiencies or injuries, the vitamin D becomes therapeutically effective.

This topical application improves skin quality, skin tone, removes cracks, removes skin dryness, improves hair health, hair quality, hair tone and greatly reduces hair loss. It alleviates the need for pain killers, antibiotics and microbicidal. It delivers Vitamin D through topical route and removes vitamin D deficiency.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention, is to provide new synergistic composition(s) comprising a composition or formulation comprising of a vitamin D derivative or analogues, vitamin E. vitamin A and vitamin K dissolved in a mixture of suitable oil, ethanol/propanol and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers wherein the pharmaceutical composition is useful in the treatment of spinal disorders, spinal disc compressions, damaged tissues due to injuries/ageing/nutritional deficiencies, cartilage damages, degraded/painful joints, injuries, wounds, sprains, penile fracture, thrombophlebitis, boils, acne or abscess, cough, sore throat, cracks and skin dryness etc. and provides immediate relief from pain and burning.

It immediately results in tissue healing and pain/distress relief in around 15-20 minutes (the time taken for penetration of oil to reach affected area) along with removal of associated weakness and it sets rapid cure and lasting pain relief in injuries, wounds, damaged tissue, sciatica, cervical spondylitis, sprains etc. and cures numbness and pain in affected limbs due to nerve compressions in spine by healing the tissues damaged due to ageing, nutritional deficiencies or injuries, cough and sore throat, the vitamin D becomes therapeutically effective.

This topical application improves skin quality, skin tone, removes cracks, removes skin dryness, improves hair health, hair quality, hair tone and greatly reduces hair loss. It alleviates the need for pain killers and/or antibiotics and/or microbicidals. It delivers vitamin D through topical route and removes vitamin D deficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is thus based upon the discovery that vitamin D can effectively treat and heal spinal disorders, disc compressions, sciatica, cervical spondylitis, resultant numbness and/or weakness in legs or feet or shoulders or arms or hands, damaged tissues, multiple injuries, wounds, sprains, cartilage damage, damaged or degraded or painful joints, penile fracture, boils, acne, abscess, thrombophlebitis, cough and sore throat, dry skin, cracked skin, hair loss in a short duration by healing damaged tissues due to ageing, deficiencies or injuries when administered topically in a therapeutically effective formulation. It provides rapid, lasting and permanent cure, it is found to heal wounds in less than two days, provide pain relief in 15-20 minutes, autocorrects spinal disc compressions, cures chronic trouble in few days, time taken is proportional to the duration (length) of chronic illness. By a therapeutically effective formulation it is meant that the active substance is bioavailable, which is able to exert a biological activity when administered in that formulation. Such formulations effectively exhibit the biological activity of vitamin D in diminishing or completely alleviating the distress involved in such conditions. The formulation is also pharmaceutically acceptable for topical application.

The Vitamin D3 or D2 or their derivatives or analogues along with vitamins A, E and K dissolved in ethanol/propanol oils and pharmaceutically accepted excipients are effective in healing, providing cure and pain relief through topical application in injured or degraded tissues/body parts due to age, nutritional deficiencies or diseases, such as Thrombophlebitis, Cervical spondylitis, pain in neck, backache, spine, shoulders, arms, hands, associated numbness and removal of spinal disc compressions.

Also effective in lower spinal disc compressions resulting in local pain, sciatica pain and numbness in lower limbs includes backache.

For wounds, it heals in around 40 hrs. and also removes associated pain in 20 minutes. For muscle and tissue injuries, it heals injuries and torn muscle and tissues very fast and removes the associated pain and distress in around 20 minutes. Heals and regenerates degraded tissues due to age or injuries, it also heals and regenerates cartilage and removes associated joint pain, inflammation, stiffness and weakness in joints and lubricate them. Heals fast sprains, their inflammation and provides associated pain relief in 20 minutes and very effective in multiple and sports injuries involving soft tissue, muscles, cuts or bruises etc.

It acts on abscess, heals it and provides relief in associated pain, burning, itching and dryness. Heals acne, boils and provides immediate relief from pain, itching and burning. Heals and provides immediate pain relief in cracks. Removes skin dryness, improves skin tone, and heals cracked skin. It also alleviates need for pain killers and/or antibiotics and/or microbicidals.

Vitamin D is essential in many biological processes and involved in biological reactions directly or indirectly. Vitamin D deficiency causes gap in these processes and healing does not take place effectively and immediately. When Vitamin D is delivered locally by topical application body's natural healing and defense mechanism is activated locally which also results in immediate pain relief. Since the topical application follows natural route of vitamin D so it provides healing and relief naturally (vitamin D is synthesized in skin upon exposure to ultraviolet rays mainly from sun, gets dissolved in skin oil and is transported to bloodstream. Following this route it nourishes and heals organs through which it passes during its journey to blood stream).

This invention alleviates and eliminates the need for pain killers, antibiotics and microbicidals etc. wherever required. Healing process takes appreciably short time. Also included within the scope of this invention and within the meaning of the term vitamin D are analogs of vitamin D. Analogs of vitamin D are well known in the ait and such compounds can have modifications in the side ch ain and/or changes in the nuclear part of the secosteroid molecule. Vitamin D analogs can contain side chain modify cations involving introduction of unsaturation; transposing, adding, removing or substituting hydroxyl groups; substituting hydrogens; forming carbocyclic structure; introducing a heteroatom link; inverting stereo chemically; removing or adding a Iky I groups and changing the number of links in the side chain.
