Publication number: 20180028666Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating disordered tissues, such as caused by pathogens and/or by toxins. The treatment compositions include an anti-infective active agent, a liquid carrier, and benzocaine in an amount so that the treatment composition penetrates more quickly into disordered tissue compared to the treatment composition in the absence of the benzocaine. In addition, the benzocaine can increase residence time of the anti-infective active in the treatment area. The preferred anti-infective active agent can be an organohalide, such as a quaternary ammonium halide compound, an example of which is benzalkonium chloride. The treatment compositions and methods may employ the use of an applicator adapted for use in promoting penetration of the treatment composition and/or agitation of the disordered tissue to further enhance penetration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2017Publication date: February 1, 2018Inventors: B. Ron Johnson, James P. McCarthy

Patent number: 9549930Abstract: Compositions and methods for treating disordered and/or prodromal stage tissue infected with by a virus in a mammal by co-administering a systemic anti-virus drug and topically administered anti-infective composition. The systemic anti-virus drug is internally administered and disrupts or inhibits virus replication systemically within the mammal. Examples include nucleoside analogs, nucleoside analog precursors, and nucleotide analogs. The topically administered anti-infective composition includes at least one anti-infective agent, such as an organohalide (e.g., benzalkonium chloride), and is formulated to penetrate below the skin surface and allow the anti-infective agent to kill viruses at a treatment site. The topical anti-infective composition enhances efficacy of the systemic anti-virus drug and reduces the time and/or number of dosages otherwise required for the systemic anti-virus drug to treat the viral infection.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2015Date of Patent: January 24, 2017Assignee: QUADEX PHARMACEUTICALS, LLCInventor: B.
