Topical pharmaceutical composition with nitric oxide-releasing co-condensed silica particles
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11813284B2) discloses a novel topical pharmaceutical composition that includes a hydrophobic composition combined with a hydrophilic composition. The hydrophobic composition consists of nitric oxide-releasing co-condensed silica particles with a diazeniumdiolate functional group, a hydrophobic base, and an amphiphilic compound. The hydrophilic composition, on the other hand, is an aqueous hydrogel with a pH range of about 4 to 5, containing a buffer. The ratio of the hydrophilic composition to the hydrophobic composition in the topical pharmaceutical composition is limited to 4:1 or less, ensuring an optimal balance between the two components.
Moreover, the patent claims cover various aspects of the composition, including the presence of a phosphate buffer in the hydrophilic composition, additional components like cellulose, chitosan, or polyhydric alcohol, and the self-emulsifying nature of the topical pharmaceutical composition. The viscosity of the hydrophilic composition, the concentration of key components in the hydrophobic composition, and the pH range of the final product are also specified. Additionally, the patent extends to a kit comprising separate hydrophilic and hydrophobic compositions, each with specific ingredients and ratios, providing a comprehensive solution for stable storage and controlled release of nitric oxide from the diazeniumdiolate modified macromolecule. The method outlined in the patent involves mixing the hydrophobic and hydrophilic compositions to form an admixture, ensuring a balanced and effective delivery system for the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
