No. 8,711 Claims priority, application Japan, Feb. 8, 1969, 44/9,426; Dec. 27, 1969, 45/159 Int. Cl. A61k 9/06 U.S. Cl. 424-365 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to a novel ointment base whose consistency is proper for an ointment base and is scarcely varied depending upon a temperature. It is useful for a preparation of ointments, cosmetics and the like, and comprises triglyceride being liquid at ordinary temperatures or a mixture of a dibasic aliphatic carboxylic acid ester and a salicyclic acid ester; silicic acid anhydride; and a nonionic surfactant or an ionic surfactant selected from the group of a fatty acid polyoxyethylene-phosphate, a fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene-phosphate, lecithin, and alkylsulfate, a fatty acid-polypeptide condensate or an ampholytic surfactant of carboxylic acid type.
The present invention relates to a novel ointment base whose features will become apparent as this description progresses.
As an ointment base, there have been known fatty oil, lanolin, Vaseline, glycerine and blend of them.
However, these prior bases have a disadvantage that their consistency is varied depending upon a temperature. More particularly, at low temperatures the consistency of them remarkably increases so that the spreadability of them becomes worse. And at high temperatures the consistency decreases so that they become smeary.
On the other hand, it is known that various organic solvents are gelled by addition of silicic acid anhydride. However, the gel thus obtained is not proper for an ointment base because of its strong thixotropic property, change of consistency by addition of medicaments or change in a temperature, appearance of bleeding and inferiority of spreadability and brightness.
The main object of this invention is to overcome the disadvantages above described and to provide an ointment base whose consistency is proper for an ointment base and is scarcely varied depending upon a temperature. Another object of the present invention is to provide a non-irritant, smooth, easily spreadable ointment base.
As a result of earnest studies to discover such an improved ointment base, it is found that an ointment base having various excellent properties is obtained by adding silicic acid anhydride and a certain surfactant to triglyceride being liquid at ordinary temperatures or to a mixture of a dibasic aliphatic carboxylic acid ester and a salicylic acid ester. The present invention is completed based upon this knowledge and relates to an ointment base which comprises triglyceride being liquid at ordinary temperatures or a mixture of dibasic aliphatic carboxylic acid ester and a salicyclic acid ester; silicic acid anhydride; and a nonionic surfactant or an ionic surfactant selected from the group of a fatty acid polyoxyethylene-phosphate, a fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene-phosphate, lecithin, an alkylsulfate, a fatty acid-polypeptide condensate or an ampholytic surfactant of carboxylic acid type.
In the present invention, the term liquid at ordinary temperatures means liquid at about 20-30 C.
The triglyceride employed as a dispersion medium in this invention means a trifatty acid glyceride having the formula ice CHQO R1 CHO R2 wherein R R and R may be the same or different and each represents an aliphatic acyl group provided that at least one of them is an aliphatic acyl group having 9-19 carbon atoms.
Representative examples of the R R and R are those acyl groups derived from acetic acid, propionic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, oleic acid, linolenic acid, linoleic acid, ricinoleic acid, eruic acid and palmitic acid. In the present invention, said triglycerides may be employed alone or blended with each other. Most preferably, there may be employed vegetable oils which contain the triglyceride as a main ingredient. The following are examples of such vegetable oils: sesame oil, bean oil, cotton seed oil, rape seed oil, apricot oil, rice-bran oil, peanut oil, olive oil, castor oil, palm oil, Neobee oil (Drew Chem. Co.) and the like. An amount of the triglyceride employed in this invention is about 8897.5%. In this invention, percent means weight percent based upon the total amount of the ointment base. The mixture of a dibasic aliphatic carboxylic acid ester and a salicylic acid ester which may be employed as dispersion medium in this invention must be liquid at ordinary temperatures. Examples of the dibasic acid ester include methyl-, ethyl-, propyland isopropyl mono (or di-) ester of glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, suberic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid or undecanedioic acid.
Examples of the salicylic acid ester include methyl salicylate, ethyl salicylate and ethyleneglycol monosalicylate.
The ratio of the dibasic acid ester to the salicylic acid ester is not limited but ordinarily from 1:3 to 3:1, preferably lzl by weight. An amount of the mixture employed in this invention is about 85-96.5%.
As the silicic acid anhydride employed in the present invention, there may be preferably used an amorphous colloidal silicic acid, usually Aerosil (Der firma Degussa AG.) and Carbosil (Der firma G. L. Cabot Inc.). An amount of the silicic acid anhydride employed in this invention depends upon a kind of the dispersion medium. In case of using the triglyceride, an amount of the silicic acid anhydride is about 2-7 preferably about 3-5% and in case of using the mixture of the dibasic acid ester and the salicylic acid ester, it is about 31-10%, preferably about 5-7 A kind of the surfactant is an important factor in this invention. As a result of earnest investigations, it is found that only the surfactants used in this invention give proper consistency for an ointment base.

The surfactant which is most preferably used in this invention depends upon a kind of the dispersion medium. In case of using the triglyceride, there may be preferably used a polyoxyethylene lanolin alcohol derivative, a polyoxyethylene lanolin derivative, a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative, a polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil derivative, a fatty acid polyoxyethylene-phosphate and a fatty alcohol-p0lyoxyethylene-phosphate. In case of using the mixture of the dibasic acid ester and the salicylic acid ester, there may be preferably used a polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene fatty acid ester, 21 polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ether, a polyoxyethylene lanolin derivative, a polyoxyethylene hydrogenated lanolin derivative, a polyoxy-ethylene lano lin alcohol derivative, a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative, a polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether, a polyoxyethylene-polypropylene copolymer, an ethylenediamine derivative of polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer and a fatty acid-polypeptide condensate.
The amounts of the surfactant employed in this invention is about 0.5-5%, preferably about 13%. The ointment base of this invention is produced by heating the dispersion medium at 60-70 C., adding silicic acid anhydride into the dispersion medium step by step with stirring, treating the resulting mixture with a homogenizer to complete dispersion and dissolving or dispersing the surfactant into the mixture by heating. To control consistency, spreadability, solubility of medicament, etc., other additives i.e. water, liquid parafiin, squalene and fatty acid ester, e.g. isopropyl myristate may be incorporated in the ointment base. For example, when the mixture of the dibasic acid ester and the salicylic acid ester is employed, about 15% water may be added into the dispersion medium for the purpose of increasing of consistency.
The ointment base of this invention has such a remark ably advantageous property that its consistency measured with curd meter (1035 g. at 25 C.) is proper for an ointment base as shown below and is scarcely varied depending upon a temperature.
Furthermore, it has various preferable properties as an ointment base such as good spreadability, scarceness of appearance of bleeding, good solubility of medicaments.
The ointment base of this invention is smooth and homogeneous while having a desirable consistency over a temperature range of from about 0 C. to about 50 C. and useful for a preparation of ointments, cosmetics and the like. In dermatologic practice, the ointment base of this invention may be usefully combined with known medicaments which are readily compatible therewith such as, for example, chrysarobin, methanol, penicillin, chloramphenicol, griseofulvin, variotin, sulfathiazol, zinc oxide, hydrocortisone acetate, camphor and the like. Especially, when the mixture of the dibasic acid ester and the salicylic acid ester is employed as the dispersion medium, the ointment base is proper for such ointments that a high absorption of medicaments contained therein are required. Examples of such ointments are water-eczema ointment containing siccanine, griseofulvin, variotin, etc., corticosteroid ointment containing triamcinolone acetonide, prednisome, prednisolone, dexamethasone, etc. and antihistamine ointment containing chlorpheniramine, promethazine, etc.
Those medicaments may be admixed with the ointment base after or on the way of the step of preparing the present ointment base by a conventional procedure. An amount of the admixed medicaments is not limited and varied depending upon a kind of the medicaments. Usually an amount of antihistamines, hormones or antibiotics is about 0.1-5 The ointment using the present ointment base can be administered to a skin of animals or human in the same manner as known ointments.
The following examples show that the ointment base of this invention has a proper consistency for an ointment base.
