This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/975,279, entitled Compositions and Methods for Treating an Infection, filed Dec. 18, 2015. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/975,279 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present application relates to compounded compositions, methods of making compounded compositions, and methods of using compounded compositions to treat or prevent an infection. The present application also relates to anti-infective agents and methods of using anti-infective agents to treat or prevent an infection.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe body normally serves as host for a variety of bacteria and fungi. Most of the time, the balance between the body as host and the microorganisms is maintained. However, there are times when the physiological, biochemical, and/or environmental conditions permit the microorganisms to tip that balance, thereby causing an infection.
Foot infections can be difficult problems for physicians to treat because of the biomechanical complexities of the extremity and the underlying circumstances that cause the infections. Soft tissue infections in the foot consist of any infectious process affecting the skin, subcutaneous tissue, adipose tissue, superficial or deep fascia, ligaments, tendons, tendon sheaths, joints, and/or joint capsules. Considering that there are more than 20 joints, 44 tendons, approximately 100 ligaments, 4 major compartments, and numerous fascial planes in the normal foot, the potential for complex problems is high.
Bacterial infections of the feet can occur as collections of pus, such as an abscess following a puncture wound or an infected hair follicle. These types of infections are usually red and elevated, and sometimes can be mistaken for an insect bite. There are many types of bacteria that cause an abscess, but staph are a leading cause. Bacterial skin infections can also resemble a rash, appearing as a reddened, tender, and warm area of skin. This type of infection is called cellulitis and can spread quickly, leading to red streaks that move from the foot toward the leg. The appearance of streaks is known as lymphangitis, which means the infection is spreading toward the lymph nodes. Cellulitis and lymphangitis can be caused by a variety of types of bacteria, but staph and sometimes streptococcus are the most common causes. Any infection, especially cellulitis and lymphangitis, requires prompt medical attention to avoid further spreading and complications. If left untreated, then some infections can spread to deeper tissues, including bone.
Certain fungal infections of the skin known as tinea infections are caused by dermatophytes, which are members of the Trichophyton, Microsporum, and Epidermophyton species. These mold-like fungi thrive in warm, moist areas, thriving on the dead tissues of hair, nails, and outer skin layers. Tinea infections include tinea pedis, known as athlete's foot; tinea corporis, known as ringworm; tinea capitis, a fungal infection of the scalp that can cause hair loss; tinea cruris, known as jock itch or tinea of the groin; tinea unguum, which is tinea of the nails; and tinea versicolor, a superficial fungal infection that produces brown, tan, or white spots on the trunk of the body. Tinea infections are contagious and can be passed through direct contact or by contact with clothing, from shower and pool surfaces, and even from pets.
Athlete's foot or tinea pedis is by far the most common form, with more than 12 million people in the United States suffering from the disease per year. It presents with redness, itching, burning, cracking, scaling, swelling, and occasionally bleeding. Athlete's foot includes toe web infections, moccasin type infections, and vesicular type infections. The condition generally includes small vesicles, fissures, scaling, maceration, hyperkeratinization, and eroded areas between the toes and on the plantar surface of the foot, as well as on other skin areas. For example, the nails may show thickening, pitting, and subungal debris.
Reoccurrences of the infection are frequent. For some subjects, such as those also diagnosed with diabetes or circulatory problems, or obese subjects, tinea infections and their treatment can be quite serious. The source of the affliction often is a public safety and health concern, as the occurrence of tinea pedis is higher in public areas such as locker rooms, public showers, sports facilities, and the like.
Moreover, there are at least 3 different types of nail infections caused by fungi. The most common infection is frequently caused by Trichophyton rubrum and affects the nail bed and the area beneath the nail. Another type of infection affects only the nail surface and creates white or light colored patches. This second type of fungal infection is unusual and represents only about 10% of the reported cases. A third type of fungal infection affects the nail root and usually afflicts persons with impaired immune defense. A fourth (and unusual) type is caused by an infection of yeast fungi. Infections by yeast most often only affect nails that already are infected or damaged in some way.
The fungi are invasive to the keratin nail tissue. Apart from becoming discolored and brittle, the nail may often separate from the nail bed. In addition, pain and difficulty in wearing foot apparel is often experienced. Initially, the disease affects only one nail, typically one nail of the foot, and is thereafter spread to more nails. The palms of the hands and the soles of the feet may frequently be affected as well. When the skin is affected, red spots frequently occur and the skin may peel off. Nail fungal infections are one of the hardest forms of external infection to treat, of which infections of toe nails are the most difficult to treat.
Despite advances in the understanding of the pathology of bacterial infections and fungal infections, there is still a need for compositions and methods that efficiently treat or prevent the progression and reoccurrence of bacterial infections and/or fungal infections that affect at least part of one or both feet.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONIn one aspect, a method of treating or preventing one or both of a bacterial infection or fungal infection of a foot of a subject includes combining one or more anti-infective agents comprising mupirocin, nystatin, itraconazole, azithromycin, nystatin, or combination thereof and a diluent to form a foot bath solution; and topically administering the foot bath solution to the subject, wherein administering comprises contacting with the foot bath solution an area of the foot of the subject that is infected or suspected to be infected.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention can be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of the invention and the Examples included therein.
Before the present compounds, compositions, articles, systems, devices, and/or methods are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that they are not limited to specific synthetic methods unless otherwise specified, or to particular reagents unless otherwise specified, as such may, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, example methods and materials are now described.
All publications mentioned herein are incorporated herein by reference to disclose and describe the methods and/or materials in connection with which the publications are cited. The publications discussed herein are provided solely for their disclosure prior to the filing date of the present application. Nothing herein is to be construed as an admission that the present invention is not entitled to antedate such publication by virtue of prior invention.
A. DefinitionsAs used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a”, “an”, and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
The phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the recited components in a composition or the recited steps in a method as well as those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic or characteristics of the claimed composition or claimed method. The phrase “consisting of” excludes any component, step, or element that is not recited in the claim. The phrase “comprising” is synonymous with “including”, “containing”, or “characterized by”, and is inclusive or open-ended. “Comprising” does not exclude additional, unrecited components or steps.
As used herein when referring to any numerical value, the term “about” means a value falling within a range that is ±10% of the stated value.
Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and/or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, a further aspect includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms a further aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. It is also understood that each unit between two particular units are also disclosed. For example, if 10 and 15 are disclosed, then 11, 12, 13, and 14 are also disclosed.
References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound.
As used herein, the terms “optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. For example, in an aspect, a disclosed method can optionally comprise one or more additional steps, such as, for example, repeating an administering step or altering an administering step.
As used herein, the term “capsule” includes a soft or hard shell capsule. A capsule shell can be a unibody delivery vehicle or can be comprised of two capsule shell pieces. In an aspect, the longer capsule shell piece can be called the “body” and the smaller capsule shell piece can be called the “cap”. The body and the cap can engage with each other as one shell body. As known to the art, capsule sizes can differ considering various factors that are tailored for any particular application, such as dosage amount or route of administration. Capsules can be manufactured to achieve a variety of capsule shell thicknesses. The release characteristics of a capsule can vary depending on the capsule shell thickness and composition. Standard capsule sizes are known in the art, and include, but are not limited to, the following sizes: Su07 (˜28 mL), 7 (˜24 mL), 10 (˜18 mL), 11 (˜10 mL), 12e1 (˜7.5 mL), 12 (˜5 mL), 13 (˜3.2 mL), 000 (˜1.37 mL), 00 (˜0.95 mL), 0 (˜0.68 mL), 1 (˜0.50 mL), 2 (˜0.37 mL), 3 (˜0.30 mL), 4 (˜0.21 mL), and 5 (˜0.13 mL). Actual volumes in mL are shown in parenthesis. Capsules for oral administration typically range from a size 5 (volume of 0.1 mL) capsule to a size 000 (volume of 1.37 mL) capsule.
The capacity of a capsule measures how much of a disclosed compounded composition or a disclosed agent that a capsule can hold or contain. The capacity of a capsule depends largely on the density of the composition (compositions and anti-infective agents vary widely in density). A capsule can hold less of a composition or an anti-infective agent with a low density (i.e., around 0.6 g/mL) and can hold more of a composition or an agent having a high density (i.e., 1.2 g/mL). The table below shows the approximate capacity (in milligrams) of various capsules (e.g., capsule size 000 to capsule size 4) across a range of densities for a disclosed compounded composition or a disclosed anti-infective agent (i.e., an anti-bacterial agent or an anti-fungal agent).
As used herein, the term “subject” refers to the target of administration, e.g., an animal. The term “subject” also includes domesticated animals (e.g., cats, dogs, etc.), livestock (e.g., cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, etc.), and laboratory animals (e.g., mouse, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, fruit fly, etc.). Thus, the subject of the herein disclosed methods can be a vertebrate, such as a mammal, a fish, a bird, a reptile, or an amphibian. Alternatively, the subject of the herein disclosed methods can be a human, non-human primate, horse, pig, rabbit, dog, sheep, goat, cow, cat, guinea pig, or rodent. The term does not denote a particular age or sex. Thus, adult and newborn subjects, as well as fetuses, whether male or female, are intended to be covered. In an aspect, a subject can be a human patient. A subject can have diabetes. A subject can be obese. A subject can have circulatory issues. A subject can have a bacterial infection, be suspected of having a bacterial infection, or be at risk of developing a bacterial infection. A subject can have a fungal infection, be suspected of having a fungal infection, or be at risk of developing a fungal infection. For example, a subject can have damaged or moist skin, can have chronic disease, or can be immunocompromised. A subject can have a bacterial infection and a fungal infection, be suspected of having a bacterial infection and a fungal infection, or be at risk of developing a bacterial infection and a fungal infection.
For example, a subject at risk of developing a bacterial infection can have, for example, risk factors for developing a bacterial infection (e.g., have damaged or moist skin, have chronic disease, and/or be immunocompromised). For example, a subject at risk for developing a bacterial infection can be exposed to a bacterium or bacteria due to employment (e.g., a health care worker) or due to the prevalence of a bacterium or bacteria at a specific location (e.g., a hospital).
For example, a subject at risk of developing a fungal infection can have, for example, risk factors for developing a fungal infection (e.g., have damaged or moist skin, have chronic disease, and/or be immunocompromised). For example, a subject at risk for developing a fungal infection can be exposed to a fungus or fungi due to employment (e.g., a health care worker) or due to the prevalence of a fungus or fungi at a specific location (e.g., a hospital).
A “patient” refers to a subject afflicted with one or more diseases or disorders. In an aspect, a patient can refer to a subject that has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having a fungal infection.

For example, a method for treating a bacterial infection or fungal infection can reduce one or more symptoms of a bacterial infection, a fungal infection, or both in a subject by 10% as compared to a control. In an aspect, a reduction of one or more symptoms can be 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or any percent reduction in between 10% and 100% as compared to a control. It is understood that treatment does not necessarily refer to a cure or complete ablation or eradication of the bacterial infection or the fungal infection, or both. However, in an aspect, treatment can refer to a cure or complete ablation or eradication of the bacterial infection, the fungal infection, or both.
As used herein, the term “prevent” or “preventing” refers to precluding, averting, obviating, forestalling, stopping, or hindering something from happening, especially by advance action. It is understood that where reduce, inhibit or prevent are used herein, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the use of the other two words is also expressly disclosed. In an aspect, preventing a bacterial infection, fungal infection, or both is intended.
As used herein, the term “diagnosed” means having been subjected to a physical examination by a person of skill, for example, a physician, and found to have a condition that can be diagnosed or treated by the compounds, compositions, agents, or methods disclosed herein. For example, “diagnosed with a bacterial infection” means having been subjected to a physical examination by a person of skill, for example, a physician, and found to have a condition that can be diagnosed or can be treated by a disclosed compound or composition or agent that can prevent or inhibit a bacterial infection.

As used herein, poloxamers are non-ionic poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO)-poly (propylene oxide) (PPO) copolymers. Poloxamers can be used in pharmaceutical formulations as surfactants, emulsifying agents, solubilizing agent, dispersing agents, and in vivo absorbance enhancer. Poloxamers are often considered as “functional excipients” because they are essential components, and play an important role in the formulation. Poloxamers are synthetic triblock copolymers with the following formula:
The term “contacting” as used herein refers to bringing one or more disclosed compositions, disclosed compounded compositions, or disclosed anti-infective agents together with water and an intended target (such as at least a portion of one or both feet of a subject) or targeted area (such as an area diagnosed with, suspected of having a bacterial infection or a fungal infection, or susceptible to developing a bacterial infection or a fungal infection) in such a manner that the disclosed composition, a disclosed compounded composition, or a disclosed anti-infective agent can exert an effect on the intended target or targeted area either directly or indirectly. In an aspect, “contacting” means to insert or immerse at least a portion of one or both feet of a subject into the water contained within a foot bath.
The term “mixing” as used in a disclosed method of making a compounded composition, for example, means to physically combine the recited components so as to achieve a homogenous compounded composition (which can be a dry powder formulation). For example, in an aspect, an anti-bacterial agent and an anti-fungal agent can be mixed with an excipient base powder; that is, an anti-bacterial agent and an anti-fungal agent are physically combined with an excipient base powder and shaken, or stirred, or agitated so as to achieve a homogenous compounded composition. In an aspect, multiple recited components can be mixed together (i.e., anti-bacterial agent, an anti-fungal agent, an excipient base powder, and one or more additional anti-infective agents (i.e., anti-bacterial agent and anti-fungal agent). In an aspect, “mixing” can also include sifting the homogenous compounded composition though a fine mesh strainer. A suitable mixer is a TURBULA® mixer, which is able to mix powdery substances with differing specific weights and particle sizes. The mixing can be generally performed for a pre-determined amount of time, i.e., for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minute, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, or more. A person skilled in the art could ascertain without undue experimentation, the amount of time required to mix the recited components so as to achieve a homogenous compounded composition.
Also, in an aspect, “mixing” can be used to describe the process of making a solution by adding one or more of a disclosed compounded composition, a disclosed composition, or a disclosed anti-infective agent to a diluent. For example, mixing means to physically combine one or more of a disclosed compounded composition, a disclosed composition, or a disclosed anti-infective agent with a diluent.
“Mixing” can occur in a disclosed mixing container. In an aspect, a mixing container can have a pre-determined size that can measure or hold a pre-determined amount or volume.

Mupirocin is an anti-bacterial agent that has excellent activity against gram-positive staphylococci and streptococci. Mupirocin is used primarily for the treatment of primary and secondary skin disorders, nasal infections, and wound healing. Mupirocin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by specific reversible binding to bacterial isoleucyl tRNA synthase. The molecular formula for mupirocin is C26H44O9. Mupirocin is shown below.
Azithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic structurally related to erythromycin. It has been used in the treatment of Mycobacterium avium intracellulare infections, toxoplasmosis, and cryptosporidiosis. The molecular formula for azithromycin is C38H72N2O12. Azithromycin is shown below.
Itraconazole is a synthetic triazole antifungal agent that inhibits cytochrome P-450-dependent enzymes required for ergosterol synthesis. Itraconazole has antimycotic properties. Formulated for both topical and systemic use, itraconazole preferentially inhibits fugal cytochrome P450 enzymes, resulting in a decrease in fungal ergosterol synthesis. Because of its low toxicity profile, this agent can be used for long-term maintenance treatment of chronic fungal infections. The molecular formula for itraconazole is C35H38Cl2N8O4. Itraconazole is shown below.
Fluconazole is a synthetic triazole with antifungal activity. Fluconazole preferentially inhibits fungal cytochrome P450 sterol C-14 alpha-demethylation, resulting in the accumulation of fungal 14 alpha-methyl sterols, the loss of normal fungal sterols, and fungistatic activity. Mammalian cell demethylation is much less sensitive to fluconazole inhibition. The mechanism of action of fluconazole is as a cytochrome P450 2C19 inhibitor, cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitor, and cytochrome P450 2C9 inhibitor. The molecular formula for fluconazole is C13H12F2N6O. Fluconazole is shown below.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” describes a material that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, i.e., without causing an unacceptable level of undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol and the like), carboxymethylcellulose and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil) and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. These compositions can also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be ensured by the inclusion of various anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents such as paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid and the like. It can also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be brought about by the inclusion of agents, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin, which delay absorption. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide, poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissues. The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable media just prior to use. Suitable inert carriers can include sugars such as lactose.
As used herein, “determining” can refer to measuring or ascertaining the presence and severity of an infection, such as, for example, a bacterial infection or a fungal infection that affects one or more of a subject's appendages (e.g., at least a portion of one or both feet). Methods and techniques used to determining the presence and/or severity of an infection are typically known to the medical arts. For example, the art is familiar with the ways to identify and/or diagnose the presence, severity, or both of a bacterial infection, a fungal infection, or both.
As used herein, “effective amount” and “amount effective” can refer to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired result such as, for example, the treatment and/or prevention of a bacterial infection or a suspected bacterial infection or a fungal infection or a suspected fungal infection. As used herein, the terms “effective amount” and “amount effective” can refer to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired an effect on an undesired condition (e.g., a bacterial or fungal infection). For example, a “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to achieve the desired therapeutic result or to have an effect on undesired symptoms, but is generally insufficient to cause adverse side effects. The specific therapeutically effective dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration; the route of administration; the rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed and like factors well known in the medical arts. For example, it is well within the skill of the art to start doses of a compound at levels lower than those required to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and to gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. If desired, then the effective daily dose can be divided into multiple doses for purposes of administration. Consequently, single dose compositions can contain such amounts or submultiples thereof to make up the daily dose. The dosage can be adjusted by the individual physician in the event of any contraindications. Dosage can vary, and can be administered in one or more dose administrations daily, for one or several days. Guidance can be found in the literature for appropriate dosages for given classes of pharmaceutical products. In further various aspects, a preparation can be administered in a “prophylactically effective amount”; that is, an amount effective for prevention of a disease or condition, such as, for example, a bacterial infection or a fungal infection.
As used herein, LoxaSperse™ refers to an excipient base powder comprising a blend of micronized xylitol and poloxamers. LoxaSperse™ is used as a chemical dispersing or solubilizing agent, thereby improving the solubility and dispersibility of poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or agents. LoxaSperse™ can be obtained from a bulk source.
As used herein, XyliFos™ refers to an excipient base powder comprising xylitol, poloxamer 407, hydroxylpropyl betadex, and epigallocatechin gallate. XyliFos™ is used as a chemical dispersing or solubilizing agent, thereby improving the solubility and dispersibility of poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or agents. In an aspect, infectious agents such as bacteria and fungi can consume or uptake XyliFos™, but cannot digest, process, or excrete XyliFos™. This leads to the infectious agent's death. XyliFos™ can be obtained from a bulk source. In an aspect, Xylifos
