›BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compositions for the topical administration of hyaluronic acid and its derivatives, as well as other acidic polysaccharides and their derivatives. Such compositions can also contain topical drugs. These compositions are produced by combining gaseous vehicles, excipients, etc., compatible with humans and animals, with active principles, thereby facilitating the homogeneous distribution of the hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid derivatives, etc., and topical drugs over the skin for the treatment of burns, ulcerations, sores, wounds, etc.
2. Description of Related Art
Acidic polysaccharides represent an important category of natural polymers commonly used in the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations. Of these, hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide widely found in animals, comprises alternating units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. It is a linear polymer with a wide range of molecular weights which varies according to the source from which it is extracted and the method of purification. In nature, it is present, for example, in pericellular gels, in the fundamental substance of connective tissues of vertebrates, where it is one of the main components, in the synovial fluid of joints, in the vitreous humor, in human umbilical cord tissue, and in cockscombs.
Specific fractions of hyaluronic acid are known which can be employed in various applications depending upon their molecular weight, as described in European Patent No. 0 138 572. The fraction known as HYALECTIN, having a molecular weight of between 500,000 and 730,000 Daltons, does not possess inflammatory activity, and can therefore be used to substitute endobulbar fluids and in therapy for joint pathologies by intraarticular injection, while the fraction known as HYALASTINE, having a molecular weight of between 50,000 and 100,000 Daltons, is suitable for therapeutic use by virtue of its activity in stimulating tissue repair.
Esters of hyaluronic acid with alcohols wherein the carboxy groups are partially or completely esterified are also known, as is their use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields, and in the area of biodegradable plastic materials (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,851,521 and 4,965,353). EP 0 341 745 describes inter- and intramolecular esters of hyaluronic acid, wherein all or part of the carboxy groups are esterified with hydroxy groups of the same and/or different molecules of the acidic polysaccharide, and their use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields, and in the area of biodegradable plastic materials.
Hyaluronic acid plays a fundamental role in tissue repair processes, especially in the first stages of the process of the formation of granulation tissue, by stabilizing the coagulation matrix and controlling its degradation, favoring the recruitment of inflammatory cells, such as polymorphonucleocytes and monocytes, of mesenchymal cells, such as fibroblasts and endothelial cells, and directing the subsequent migration of epithelial cells. For a review, see Goa et al., “Hyaluronic Acid: A Review of Its Pharmacology and Use as a Surgical Aid in Ophthalmology, and Its Therapeutic Potential in Joint Disease and Wound Healing,” Drugs 47(3):536-566, 1994.
It is known that the application of hyaluronic acid solutions hastens the healing of bedsores, wounds, and burns (Wokalek et al. “Time Course of Wound Healing,” Journal of Biomaterials Applications 5:337, 1991). The role of hyaluronic acid in the various stages of tissue repair has been described via a theoretical model by Weigel et al., “A model for the role of hyaluronic acid and fibrin in the early events during the inflammatory response and wound healing”, J. Theor. Biol. 119:219, 1986.
The foregoing facts demonstrate the importance of hyaluronic acid in the pharmaceutical field.
›SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of an acidic polysaccharide and/or a derivative thereof, a gaseous vehicle, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. Said acidic polysaccharide or derivative thereof can be hyaluronic acid, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of hyaluronic acid, a partial or total ester of hyaluronic acid with an alcohol, a partial or total intermolecular ester of hyaluronic acid, a partial or total intramolecular ester of hyaluronic acid, a crosslinked ester of hyaluronic acid, an alginic acid ester, an ester of carboxymethylcellulose, an ester of carboxymethylchitin, an ester of carboxymethyl starch, a gellan ester, a crosslinked gellan ester, a pectic acid ester, and a pectinic acid ester. The composition can be in the form of an aerosol or liquid spray, a foam, or a dry spray, and can contain one or more topical drugs.
Another object of the present invention is the use of an acidic polysaccharide or a derivative thereof to produce a pharmaceutical spray composition useful in the treatment of a variety of pathological situations requiring the acceleration of tissue repair, for example in the treatment of burns, sores, ulcerations, and wounds.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a therapeutic method, comprising topically administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of an acidic polysaccharide and/or a derivative thereof in association with a gaseous vehicle and a pharmacologically acceptable excipient. Such composition can optionally contain one or more topical drugs.
Further scope of the applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided below. It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating preferred embodiments, are merely illustrative, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description.
›DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following detailed description of the invention is provided to aid those skilled in the art in practicing the present invention.

Pharmaceutical Applications
The pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention can be advantageously used in the medical-surgical field in the treatment of a variety of conditions, such as in the treatment of skin ulcers, sores, wounds, and burns, and in all pathological situations where it is necessary to hasten tissue healing and repair.
The new pharmaceutical formulations for topical administration of hyaluronic acid and other acidic polysaccharides and derivatives thereof can be produced with particular physical characteristics, depending upon the particular polymer and excipients employed. These formulations possess the advantage of associating the polysaccharide with a gaseous vehicle, thus making it possible to uniformly administer and disperse the active principle evenly in the wound, and to modulate the dosage thereof according to the severity of the lesion.
The sprays of the present invention can administer an aerosol, a liquid, a foam, or a cry powder, depending upon the manner of formulation.
Foams, for example, can easily be rubbed into cavity wounds. Sprays consisting of dry, micronized powders also guarantee excellent coverage since the active principle forms a layer of gel which acts as a protective barrier against possible contamination once the powder comes into contact with the wound exudate.
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
