Zusammensetzung zur Behandlung der Hautoberf1 ächeComposition for the treatment of the skin surface

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Zusammensetzung zur Behandlung der Hautoberfläche und die Verwendung dieser Zusammensetzung zur Behandlung von Veränderungen der Haut .The present invention relates to a composition for treating the skin surface and the use of this composition for the treatment of changes in the skin.

Die Oberfläche der Haut (Epidermis) ist nicht durchgehend glatt, sondern lokal gefurcht mit Furchungen, Falten und Runzeln. Das Hautrelief ist besonders charakteristisch an den Fingern, Handflächen und Fußsohlen.The surface of the skin (epidermis) is not completely smooth, but locally furrowed with furrows, wrinkles and wrinkles. The skin relief is particularly characteristic on the fingers, palms and soles of the feet.

Man betrachtet die Haut vornehmlich als Schutz des Körpers, die an sich verschiedene Mechanismen zu ihrem eigenen Schutz birgt und auch entsprechend aktivieren kann. Dennoch kommt es oftmals zu Veränderungen der Haut durch Erkrankungen, wie Narben, Warzen, Akne, Schuppen, Flechten, Psoriasis, Ekzeme, sowie andere Hautleiden. Oftmals sind diese auf Umwelteinflüsse zurückzuführen. Die Betroffenen leiden nicht nur physisch, z. B. an Juckreiz, sondern auch psychisch durch den quälenden Juckreiz und das Aufkratzen der Haut mit zum Teil starken Blutungen.The skin is regarded primarily as protection of the body, which in itself has various mechanisms for its own protection and can also activate accordingly. However, skin changes often occur due to diseases such as scars, warts, acne, dandruff, lichen, psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions. Often these are due to environmental influences. The sufferers not only suffer physically, z. As itching, but also psychologically by the excruciating itching and scratching the skin with sometimes severe bleeding.

So treten auch häufig bakterielle Infektionen auf der Hautoberfläche auf, die neben dem Befall mit Pilzen und Hefen äußerst unangenehm sind. Es kommt hierbei zu einem starken Juckreiz und damit zu einem schmerzhaften Aufkratzen der Haut.Thus, bacterial infections often occur on the skin surface, in addition to the infestation are extremely unpleasant with mushrooms and yeasts. It comes here to a strong itching and thus to a painful scratching of the skin.

Es gibt bereits zur Bekämpfung von Pilz- undThere are already to combat fungal and

Bakterieninfektionen Antimykotika und Antibiotika. Des weiteren werden bei indifferenten Juckerscheinungen sogenannte Antipruriginosa verabreicht.Bacterial infections antifungals and antibiotics. Furthermore, so-called antipruriticosa are administered in indifferent itching symptoms.

Bei den vorstehend genannten Mitteln handelt es sich um synthetische Produkte der pharmazeutischen Industrie. Es ist bekannt, dass sie erhebliche Nebenwirkungen hervorrufen. Oftmals ist es so, dass die Haut bei häufigem Gebrauch dieser Mittel nicht mehr darauf reagiert, da beispielsweise Pilze/Bakterien bekanntermaßen resistent gegen solche Stoffe werden.The above-mentioned agents are synthetic products of the pharmaceutical industry. It is known that they cause significant side effects. Often it is the case that the skin no longer reacts to frequent use of these agents, since, for example, fungi / bacteria are known to be resistant to such substances.

Es bestand daher ein Bedarf dahingehend, ein Mittel bzw. eine Zusammensetzung zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit der die Hautoberflache behandelt werden kann, ohne dass die Gefahr von Nebenwirkungen durch die Behandlung mit diesen Mitteln auftritt. Es bestand weiter der Wunsch, eine Alternative zu den etablierten pharmazeutischen Präparaten bieten zu können und auf ein natürliches Präparat zurückgreifen zu können, das ohne Bedenken auf der Haut angewendet werden kann.There was therefore a need to provide an agent or composition with which the skin surface can be treated without the risk of side effects from the treatment with these agents. There was also a desire to be able to offer an alternative to the established pharmaceutical preparations and to be able to resort to a natural preparation, which can be applied without hesitation to the skin.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Zusammensetzung gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst .This object is achieved with a composition according to claim 1.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft daher eine Zusammensetzung zur Behandlung der Hautoberfläche, die eine Mischung aus photosynthetisch arbeitenden Mikroorganismen und Leuchtbakterien. Dabei wird es bevorzugt, wenn die Zusammensetzung ein Polysaccharid auf Chitinbasis in wassriger Lösung enthält. Die Unteransprüche betreffen weiterhin die Verwendung dieser Zusammensetzung zur Behandlung von Veränderungen der Haut .The present invention therefore relates to a skin surface treatment composition comprising a mixture of photosynthetic microorganisms and luminescent bacteria. It is preferred if the composition contains a chitin-based polysaccharide in aqueous solution. The subclaims further relate to the use of this composition for the treatment of changes in the skin.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin die Verwendung dieser Zusammensetzung zur Behandlung von Veränderungen der Haut.The invention further relates to the use of this composition for the treatment of changes in the skin.

Es ist erfindungswesentlich, dass die Zusammensetzung zwei Gruppen von Mikroorganismen enthält. Das Wechselspiel zwischen den photosynthetisch arbeitenden Mikroorganismen und den Leuchtbakterien führt dazu, dass die photosynthetisch arbeitenden Mikroorganismen durch die Leuchtbakterien zur Photosynthese angeregt werden. Die Mikroorganismen betreiben die Photosynthese mit Schwefelwasserstoff und Wasser als Addukt und setzen Schwefel bzw. Sauerstoff frei. Ferner können sie Stickstoff sowie Phosphat binden und organische und anorganische Materie abbauen.It is essential to the invention that the composition contains two groups of microorganisms. The interplay between the photosynthetic microorganisms and the luminescent bacteria leads to photosynthetic microorganisms being stimulated by the luminescent bacteria to photosynthesize.

Die Behandlung der befallenen Hautbereiche läßt sich besonders effektiv durchführen, wenn die Zusammensetzung Mikroorganismen enthält, die Photosensibilisatoren freisetzen, die dann in die erkrankten Zellen eingelagert werden können. Durch Lichteinwirkung werden diese Photosensibilisatoren dann aktiviert und produzieren Singulett-Sauerstoff oder sonstige reaktive Radikale, die durch Oxidations- und Reduktionsvorgänge die Zellen der befallenen Hautbereich ab. Prinzipiell ist es auch möglich, die Photosensibilisatoren der Zusammensetzung direkt beizugeben.The treatment of the affected skin areas can be carried out particularly effectively if the composition contains microorganisms which release photosensitizers, which can then be incorporated into the diseased cells. Upon exposure to light, these photosensitizers are then activated to produce singlet oxygen or other reactive radicals which, through oxidation and reduction processes, ablate the cells of the affected skin area.

Es wirkt effektiv bei der Behandlung von Veränderungen der Haut .The invention according to the composition is absolutely a biological product that can be applied to the skin with good success, without the risk of side effects. It works effectively in the treatment of changes in the skin.

Die Veränderungen der Haut sind meist darauf zurückzuführen, dass die Haut durch Umwelteinflüsse geschädigt wird. Dazu zählt der Pilz- und Bakterienbefall der Haut. Es ist bekannt, dass, beispielsweise bei Fußpilz, die Haut anfängt zu jucken und sich die obersten Schichten der Haut schuppenartig ablösen.The changes in the skin are usually due to the fact that the skin is damaged by environmental influences. This includes the fungal and bacterial attack of the skin. It is known that, for example in athlete's foot, the skin itches to itch and shed the top layers of the skin like scales.

Es kann aber auch jedes indifferente allgemeine Hautjucken effektiv mit der vorliegenden erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung behandelt werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung hat sich ebenfalls erfolgreich bei der Behandlung von Ausschlägen erwiesen. So kann auch extrem trockene Haut mit gegebenenfalls Schuppenbefall erfolgreich behandelt werden. So hat auch ein Auftragen der erfindungsgemäßen Zusammensetzung bei Neurodermitis, insbesondere in den Arm- und Kniebeugen, rasche und lang andauernde Linderung gebracht .But it can also be any indifferent general skin itching effectively with the present be treated composition according to the invention. The composition of the invention has also been successful in the treatment of rashes. So even extremely dry skin with possibly dandruff can be successfully treated. Thus, application of the composition according to the invention in eczema, especially in the arm and squat, has brought rapid and long-lasting relief.

Die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung kann in jeder Darei- chungsform appliziert werden, die geeignet ist, auf die Haut aufgetragen zu werden. Als Beispiele können hier die Tinktur, Salbe, Creme und Lotion genannt werden. Die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung kann ebenfalls in Bade- bzw. Duschzusätzen vorliegen. Es ist selbstverständlich, dass die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung mit den üblichen Zusatzstoffen für die genannten Dareichungsformen verarbeitet wird.The composition according to the invention can be applied in any dosage form which is suitable for application to the skin. Examples include tincture, ointment, cream and lotion. The composition of the invention may also be present in bath or shower additives. It goes without saying that the composition according to the invention is processed with the customary additives for the mentioned dosage forms.

Die erfindungsgemäße Zusammensetzung kann beispielsweise wie folgt hergestellt werden.The composition according to the invention can be prepared, for example, as follows.

1. Es werden 400 ml der Mischung aus photosynthetisch arbeitenden Mikroorganismen und Leuchtbakterien sowie einen Anteil an Photosensibilisatoren freisetzenden Mikroorganismen, beispielsweise das Bakteriochlorophyll und das Polysaccharid auf Chitinbasis mit 100 ml Kräuterauszug vermischt. Die Mischung wird dann für 5 - 10 Minuten im Ultraschallbad bewegt. 2. Es werden 125 bis 250 ml der obigen Mischung in 5 - 7 1 Wasser bei 37 % eingerührt.1. 400 ml of the mixture of photosynthetic microorganisms and luminescent bacteria and a proportion of photosensitizer-releasing microorganisms, for example the bacteriochlorophyll and the chitin-based polysaccharide, are mixed with 100 ml of herbal extract. The mixture is then agitated for 5-10 minutes in an ultrasonic bath. 2. Stir 125 to 250 ml of the above mixture in 5-7 liters of water at 37%.

3. Anschließend werden 50 bis 100 g Salz hinzugegeben und gerührt .3. Subsequently, 50 to 100 g of salt are added and stirred.

4. Als letztes werden 1 - 2 g Enzyme untergemischt. Durch die Zugabe von Photosensibilisatoren freisetzenden Mikroorganismen kann die Wirkung der Zusammensetzung durch einen photodynamischen Prozess unterstützt werden. Dabei werden vorzugsweise Mirkoorganismen verwendet, die bei Anregung mit Licht Photosensibilisatoren freisetzen. Bei Aktivierung dieser Photosensibilisatoren mittels Licht wird infolge der ablaufenden photochemischen Reaktionen sowie Energieübertragungsprozessen Singulett- Sauerstoff und sonstige reaktive Substanzen, wie beispielsweise Radikale als angeregter Zustand des Photosensibilisators gebildet. Diese in den befallenen Zellen freigesetzten reaktiven Substanzen bauen durch Oxidations- und ReduktionsVorgänge diese Zellen ab. Als geeignete Mikroorganismen zur Erzeugung von Photosensibilisatoren kommen beispielsweise das Bakteriochlorophyll, das Monascus Purpurus (Pigment 3658) , das Limicola-Nadson (Zellfarbstoff 2145) oder das Pseudomonasluoreszens in Frage.4. Finally, 1 - 2 g of enzymes are mixed in. By adding photosensitizer-releasing microorganisms, the effect of the composition can be assisted by a photodynamic process. In this case, microorganisms are preferably used which release photosensitizers on excitation with light. Upon activation of these photosensitizers by means of light, singlet oxygen and other reactive substances, such as, for example, radicals as the excited state of the photosensitizer, are formed as a result of the ongoing photochemical reactions and energy transfer processes. These reactive substances released in the affected cells degrade these cells by oxidation and reduction processes. Suitable microorganisms for producing photosensitizers are, for example, bacteriochlorophyll, Monascus purpurus (Pigment 3658), Limicola-Nadson (cell dye 2145) or Pseudomonas fluorescene.

Bei der Verwendung eines Bakteriochlorophylls kommt es dann zu einer Chlorophyll-A-Reaktion, bei Bestrahlung mit Licht erfolgt die bakterielle Freisetzung von Aminolävulinsäure, wodurch Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) , gebildet wird das selektiv von den befallenen Zellen aufgenommen und gespeichert wird. Dieses PPIX wird dann durch Lichteinwirkung aktiviert und infolge der photodynamischen Effekte durch Elektronentransfer kommt es dann zur vorstehend beschriebenen Bildung von Singulett-Sauerstoff und Radikalen innerhalb der Zelle, die dann durch Oxidation- und Reduktionsvorgänge aufgebrochen und beschädigt werden. Die Zerstörung der Zellen können dann auf zwei Arten geschehen, durch Nekrose oder Apoptose geschehen. Der prinzipielle Wirkungsgrad des photodynamischen Prozesses läßt sich durch die folgenden Schritte definieren:The use of a bacteriochlorophyll then results in a chlorophyll A reaction, upon irradiation with light bacterial release of aminolevulinic acid, forming protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), which is selectively taken up and stored by the affected cells. This PPIX is then activated by exposure to light, and as a result of the photodynamic effects of electron transfer, the above-described formation of singlet oxygen and radicals within the cell occurs, which are then broken up and damaged by oxidation and reduction processes. The destruction of the cells can then be done in two ways, done by necrosis or apoptosis. The principal efficiency of the photodynamic process can be defined by the following steps:

1. Fixierung von Stickstoff1. fixation of nitrogen

2. Chemolithotropie2. Chemolithotropy

3. Alkanoxidation3. alkane oxidation

4. Bakterielle Biolumineszenz4. Bacterial bioluminescence

5. Oxidative Phosphorylierung 6. Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) Fluoreszenz5. Oxidative Phosphorylation 6. Protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) Fluorescence

7. Bakterielle und pflanzliche Chlorophyll-A Fluoreszenz7. Bacterial and plant chlorophyll A fluorescence

8. Photosynthese der Cyanobakterie und Purpurbakterie8. Photosynthesis of cyanobacteria and purple bacteria

9. Photosynthese durch Archaea 10. Antibiotische Reaktion durch Milchsäure-Bakterie9. Photosynthesis by Archaea 10. Antibiotic reaction by lactic acid bacteria

Mit Hilfe der Chlorophyll-A Fluoreszenz wird das Medium lichtempfindlich gemacht. Biopolymere, Farbpigmente abgebende Mikroorganismen und Biokatalysatoren werden teilweise zum lichtempfindlichen PPIX umgewandelt. Durch die oxidative Phosphorylierung (blaues Licht) wird PPIX wie eine kleine Batterie aufgeladen und kann so einen Teil der Energie auf gewöhnlichen Sauerstoff übertragen. Dabei wird umweltfreundlicher reaktionsfreudiger Singulett-Sauerstoff freigesetzt.With the help of chlorophyll-A fluorescence, the medium is made sensitive to light. Biopolymers, color pigments releasing microorganisms and biocatalysts are partially converted to photosensitive PPIX. By oxidative phosphorylation (blue light) PPIX is charged like a small battery and can transfer part of the energy to ordinary oxygen. This releases more environmentally friendly singlet oxygen.
