Abstract

Abstract of the Disclosure A dentifrice composition containing an anionic surfactant, and a minor amount of a water soluble positively charged protein hydrolysate having an isoionic point above 7, and a Bloom gel value of zero, selected from the group consisting of a protein hydrolysate fraction containing high concentrations of basic amino acids or a quaternary derivative of a protein hydrolysate, which counters the irritation to the oral tissue and reduces the bitterness caused by said anionic surfactant, without reducing its foaming and cleansing properties.

Description

The present invention reLates to novel oral compositions wh;ch are substantlally non-irritating to the oral tissue, comprising Ull anionic surEactant and a positively charged water soluble protein hy~lrolysate fraction containing a high concentration oE basic amino ~.lCi~s or a qttaterna.ry derivative o a protein hydrolysate. The protein hyclrolysate raction is obtained by extractlon Erom a partially hydrolyzed protein mixture by means oE ion exchange separation with an anion exchange resin. The quaternary derivative is obtained by quaternizing a protein hydrolysate mixture by chemically modifying the available terminal amino groups of the protein.

. . I' Sodium lauryl sulfate (S~S) in den-tifrices is known to cause adverse reactions to oral tissue as shown in R. C.
Caldwell and R. E. Stallard~
196, W. B. Saunders (1977); L. J. Guarnieri, No. 661 (1974); and L. J. Guarnieri, ~hesis, University of Indiana (1970). One example is gingival irritation. It is al50 believed that SLS is responsible for sloughirl~ of the oral mucosa. ~n addition, SLS is responsible for an adverse effect on taste buds causing certain foods to have a bitter tas-te.
Furthermore, the SLS itself, in the dentifrice tas-tes bitter.
U~ S. Patent No. 2,812,284 shows that the soaps and ~yrlthe-tic detergents in dentifrices cause a h~r~h an~/or ~itlcr tu3te, which patente0 has overcome by u~ing a mixture of two specific groups of anionic surf`act~lts7 i-eO~ the sulfonate ~alts o~ monoglycerides of C10-Cl8 fatty acids and the sulfate salts o~ ClO~C18 fatty alcohols, in a 3:1 ratio respectively.
However, the problem of oral irritation due to the presence of anionic surfactants in the dentifrice is not mentioned in

Likewise~ the use of proteins in oral preparations for . sundry purposes is shown in U. S~ Patent NoO 19470p794 wherein casein, gelatin and the like is pre~ent in the dentifrice as a means o~ retarding the rate of the production of carbonic acid. U. S. Patent No. 2,154,168 disclos~s an edible denti.~rice ¦
containing casein or o~her animal or vegetable protein adhesive carrier as a mean~ of buffering the pH o~ the compssi-tion to prevent accumulations of tooth-destroying acids~ U. S. Patent No. 4,154,813 utilizes peptides as the pH adjusting means in order to combat caries which occurs at low pH. U~ S. Patent No~ 4,165,368 uses gelatin as a viscosity modifier to improve the flowability of the toothpaste, Ho~Jever~ none of aforesaid pat.ent compositions contain an anionic surfaetant, nor reco~-nize th~ problems of or~l tissue irri-tation and the bitter taste associated with the presence of said anionic sur.f~Lc tarlt.
Oral compositions co~taining both an;.onic surfactants and protein~ are also well known in the art as disclosecl in U. S. Patent No. 359~5,957~ wherein gelatin is used as a cor~

of a stable gel for use in cosmetics containing anionic surfac-tants. U. S. Patents No. 4,0589595 and 4?05~596 disclose stable enzymatic toothpastes containing a neutral protease and a partially hydrolyzed protein~ plus anionic or nonionic sur-factant.
The purposesof the proteins ln the above clted patents are to impart vlscoslty, provide enzymatic activity, inhibit corrosion, malntain a high pH in the dentifrice, or retard the rate of development of carbonic acid. None of sald proteins are reported to counter the irritation to oral mucosa caused by anionic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulfate.
However, none of the above cited art discloses a substantially non-irritating dentifrice composition comprising an antonic surfactant and a minor amount of a water soluble llydro;Ly7.ed protein fraction rich in posltively charged amino acids or n quatern:L7.ed hydroly7ed proteln~ hav:Lng an isotonLc poin~ ~rea~er than 7 and a Bloom gel value of zero.

Accordingly, a primary object of present invention is to reduce the adverse ef:Eect that anionic surfactants in a dentifrice 1~ have on human oral tissue.
The present invention attempts to provide a substantially non-irritating dentifrice of improved flavor contai.ning an anionic surfactant and a positively charged partially hydrolyzed protein fraction rich in amino acids or a quaternized protein hydrolysate m:i~ture.
Pre:ferably, the dentifrice of the present invention has foaming and detergency properties of the aniollic surfactant which are not decreased by the presence of the water soluble posi.tively cl~ rgecl p~rt:i.ally hyd.rolyzed protein :fraction or the quaterni.zecl l~ydrolyzed protein.

More specifically, the process of preparing the posi-tively charged protein hydrolysate fraction containing a high concentration of basic amino acids comprises the steps of treat-~0 ing a partially hydrolyzed protein mixture with an anionexchange resin to absor~ negatively charged groups from the pro-tein onto the resin and to substitute acetate groups or other negative]y charged groups therefor on the resin and dialyzing the resultant anion-exchanged protein hydrolysate fraction to remove said resin-substituted negatively charged groups. A pre-ferred additional first step comprises dialysis of the hydrolyzed protein mixture prior to treatment with the anion exchange resin .in order to remove salts and other impuri-ties which may be present as a result of protein hydrolysis. ~n optionally adcli-t.ional fi.na]. step comprises Ereeze drying the positively chargedprotein h~drolysate ~raction to remove the water therefrom and res~rve it for Euture use. Ion exchange chromatography is a well lcncwn procedure described in the prior art. The batch phase ion exchange chromatography procedure for separation of proteins, based on charge, is described in an article by S.M. Vratsanos and I.D. ~andel entitled "Isolation of Cationic Salivary Proteins"
in the Journal of Dental ~esearch, Volume 56, B109, special i~sue B, 1977.

The column ion exchange chromatography method is described in a 1973 brochure by Pharmacia entitled "Sephadex Ion Exchangers ~ A Guide to Ion Exchange Chromatography". The optimal ratio of ion exchange resin -to protein for fractionation of a hydrolyzed pro-tein mixture by ion exchange Ghromatography is approximately 20:1. This represents the ratio of resin to protein required to just absorb the anionic proteins onto the resin, but not absorb the neutral or cationic proteins.
Any suitable anion exchange resin may be utilized in the process of producing the positively charged protein hydroly-sate fractions containing a high concentration of basic amino acids. The polystyrene- and polysaccharide-based anion exchang~
ers are most often used. The most important class of anion-exchange resins is based on the introduction of basic groups such as ~uaternary amino groups into a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer a~ter polymerization. These are strongly basic anion exchange resins. E~amples of strong base anion exchangers are Dowex 1 and 2 resins by Dow Chemical Companyr Amberlite IR~

The po~itive char~e8 are caused mainly by the arginine, lysine and histidine moieties. The negative charges are caused mainly by the aspartic and glutamic acid moieties. The overall charge is caused mainly by the ratio of the posltively charged moieties to the negatively charged ones. Ilence, a molecule rich in arginine, lysine and his~idine, and poor in aspartic and glutamic acid would have a high positive charg$. For example, glycylarginine has a positively charged group and no negatively charged group; therefore, its positive charge is very high (pI 11). In order to obtain a protein hydrolysate fraction which contains the compound glycylarginine, the protein hydrolysate should not be dialyzed prior to being contacted with the anion exchange resin because the glycylar- ¦
ginine would be removed along with the inorganic salts by pass-ing through the dialysis membrane. Ilowever, a high pI probably .
Lndicates a slgniflcant concentration of glycylargin.ine mo:Le~ies in the positively charged ion exchange fraction.
It has une~pectedly been found that a correlation exists between the anti-irritant propert:Les of these posltively charged proteins and their pI value as evidenced by Table I~
using vitro tests. The in vltro test measures the degree of curling of epidermis strips lmmersed ln test solutions, by measuring the width of the strip at its narrowest point where curling is most pronouneed. The aqueous test solutions contain 0.15~ SLS and 0.10% protein, adjusted to pll 5.3 and the strips are soaked therein at room temperature for two days prior to m~nsuring the narrowe~t part of the ep:ldermis strip.

In toothpaste formulations the liquids and solids should necessarily be proportioned to form a creamy mass having the desired consistency which is extrudable from a pressurized container or a collapsible tube (for example, aluminum or lead).
In general, the liquids in the toothpaste will comprise chiefly water, glycerine, aqueous solutions of sorbitol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol 400, etc., and suitable mixtures thereof. It is advantageous usually to use a mixture of both water and a humectant or binder such as glycerine or sorbitol.
The total liquid content will generally be about 20-75% of the carrier. The amount of water is generally abut 10-25%, preferably about 12-17% of the carrier. It is preferred to also use a gelling agent in toothpastes such as the natural and synthetic gums and gum-like materials such as Irish moss, gum tragacanth, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, starch, and the like, usually in an amount up to about 10%, and preferably about 0.2 to 5%, of the carrier.
The carrier suitably may contain a fluorine-containing compound having a beneficial effect on the care and hygiene of the oral cavity, for example, diminution of el~mel solu~ility in acid and protection of the teeth against decay. Examples thcreof include stannous fluoride, po-tassium stannous fluoride (SnF2KP), sodi~n hexafluorostannate, stannous chlorofluoride, sodium fluorozirconate, and sodium monofluorophosphate. l`hesc m~terials, whiGh dissociate or release fluorine contairlirl~ ions in water, suitably may be present in the carrier in an effcctive but nontoxic amount, usually within the range of about 0.1 to

Flavoring or sweetening materlals of the type commonly employed in dentifrices may be included in the carrier. Such materials, if present, aid in modifying the particular tastes of the flavor in the manner desired. Examples of such addi-tional materials include the flavoring oils, for example, oils of spearmint, peppermint, wintergreen, sassafras, clove, sage, eucalyptus, marjoram, cinnamon, lemon, and orange, as well as methylsalicylate~ Suitable sweetening agents include sucrose, lactose, maltose, sorbitol, sodium cyclamate, and saccharin.
~0 Suitably, the flavor and sweetening agent may together comprise about 0.01 to 2.0% of the carrier.
The dentifrice may be prepared by suitably mixing the ingredients. For instance in making a toothpaste, a gelling ayent such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or Carbopol 93 and a preservative such as sodium benzoate, if employed, is dispersed in a humectant such as glycerine. Water may also be present. Additional humectant and water may then be mixed with the dispersion and a homogeneous paste, ~el or cream is formed.
Dental abrasive agent, surface active agent and flavor are then .D ~clcl~. The toothpaste is then thoroughly deaerated (e.g., in * trade mark ,, -- 19 --~L195619 . I
