Definitions
- This invention relates to a topical pharmaceutical formulation suitable for use in treating virus infections of the skin and mucosa, and in particular it relates to topical formulations containing compounds having antiviral activity, particularly those active against Herpes Simplex Virus, with the exception of aciclovir.
- viral infections manifest themselves on the skin surface through lesions, rashes, or other forms of skin cell disruption.
- Particular viral infections are Herpes Simplex Viral infections 1 and 2 which directly cause cold sores and genital sores respectively, and another herpes family virus Varicella Zoster Virus which causes chickenpox and shingles.
- antiviral compounds have been identified as useful in the systemic treatment of antiviral infections, including but not limited to penciclovir, ganciclovir, idoxuridine, cidofovir and foscamet Many of these compound have undesirable side effects when taken systemically thus making them unsuitable for the treatment of common, non-life threatening, viral infections such as cold sores, genital sores or shingles as described above.
- An ideal solution is to treat topically the affected areas of the skin either prior or during the attack. This has several advantages such as directing the drug to the affected area and limiting adverse effects to the locality of application.
- antiviral compounds are difficult to formulate in a suitable cream, gel, ointment or unguent due to, for example, poor solubility and/or do not readily pass through the skin to the affected area.
- the ability to pass through the skin is particularly important when the antiviral compound is applied during a viral attack but prior to skin cell disruption by a lesion or rash forming.
- antiviral compound means any compound, except aciclovir, which has a demonstrable effect against any human viral infection.
- Preferred antiviral compounds are those active against HSV1 or 2 except aciclovir.
- Particularly preferred compound are selected from penciclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, idoxuridine, foscarnet, ribivarin, and cidofovir.
- Particularly preferred antiviral compounds are penciclovir and cidofovir.
- any formulation of a pharmaceutically active compound should be stable for long periods of time, should not lose its potency, should not discolour or form insoluble substances or complexes, and also should not be unduly irritating to the skin or mucosa.
- oil-in-water topical antiviral compound containing pharmaceutical formulations comprising at least 10% by weight of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether have particularly advantageous properties.
- such formulations exhibit enhanced efficacy together with low irritancy and good physical stability.
- the present invention accordingly provides an oil-in-water topical pharmaceutical formulation comprising a dispersed oil phase and a continuous aqueous phase comprising water, solubihsed antiviral compound and at least 10% of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether by weight of the formulation.
- the formulation of the invention contains a maximum of 50% water.
- Such a topical formulation may contain 0.075% to 10% w/w antiviral compound or a salt or an ester thereof, from 10% to 50% w/w of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, from 15% to 50% w/w water and an oil phase.
- antiviral compound should be understood to include also its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and esters unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
- the formulation comprises from 0.5% to 10% w/w antiviral compound, from 20% to 40% w/w of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, from 20% to 40% w/w water together with an oil phase, whilst the most preferred formulation comprises from 1 % to 5% w/w antiviral compound, from 30% to 40% w/w of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, from 25% to 40% w/w water together with an oil phase.

- the oil phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier (otherwise known as an emulgent), it is desirably comprised of a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil.
- a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabiliser. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsif ⁇ er(s) with or without stabiliser(s) make up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and/or fat make up the so called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oil dispersed phase of the emulsions.
- Emulgents and emulsion stabilisers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include cetyl alcohol, sodium lauryl sulphate, stearyl alcohol and polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, such as polyoxyl stearyl ethers, for example steareth 2 and steareth 21.

- polyhydric alcohols such as propylene glycol.
- the formulations of the invention comprise from 0 to 30% by weight of propylene glycol.
- the choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of most antiviral compounds in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low.
- the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers.
- Straight or branched chain, mono- or dialkyl esters such as diisopropyl adipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2- ethylhexyl palmitate or a mixed ester of 2-ethyl hexanoic acid with a blend of cetyl or stearyl alcohols known as Crodamol CAP may be used, the last three being the preferred esters. These may be used singly or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used.
- a preferred formulation according to the invention comprises diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, 30-40% w/w; antiviral compound, approximately 5% w/w; cetyl alcohol 3-10% w/w; stearyl alcohol, 4-10% w/w; propylene glycol, 0-10% w/w; light mineral oil, 8-15% w/w; steareth 21 , 2-5% w/w; steareth 2, l-3% w/w; and purified water to 100% w/w.
