Description

Bactericidal composition
Field of the invention
The present invention relates to the use of a chelant as a a bactericidal compound as well as a bactericidal composition containing a chelant, suitable for use in deodorants, soaps, oral health care, dermatological preparations and also in food as a food preservative. More particularly, it relates to a bactericidal composition comprising a chelant as a bactericidal agent or as a co-bactericidal agent.
Background of the invention
Bacteria may be found in the food or clinic environment. Bacteria strains are divided into two types: gram negative and gram positive. Gram negative bacteria types include bacteria such as Salmonella typhimurium, Bacterioides gingivalis, Actinobacillus actinomycetescomitans, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa while gram positive bacteria include bacteria such as Staphilococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Listeria monocytogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae and Coryneform bacteria.
The presence of such bacteria on food or dermatological or oral substrates results in contamination and spoilage. This problem is magnified for gram negative bacteria, especially Pseudomonas aeruginosa as this microoganism is distributed widely and also spreads rapidly since almost any condition is suitable for its growth.
To retard and/or prevent such growth, it is known in the art to use bactericides of the bacterial or chemical type. However, a problem encountered with such bactericides is that they are expensive and/or sometimes are not fully active. Not to be bound by theory, it is believed that the cations present on the cell wall of the bacteria prevent the bactericidal action. The Applicant has found that the problems of bacteria growth and reduced bactericidal activity are particularly troublesome with bactericidal agents of the chlorophenol and/or quaternary ammonium type.
The formulator thus faces the challenge of formulating a product which maximises the bactericidal activity, minimises the contamination and is also inexpensive.
WO 89/1239 discloses the use of lanthionine containing bacteriocin and a chelating agent for inhibiting Gram negative bacteria growth. More particularly disclosed are lanthionine containing bacteriocins with ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) for inhibiting Pseudomonas aeruginosa growth.
EP 0,639,636 discloses the use of a cationic germicide with a chelating agent and a surfactant. More particularly disclosed are cationic germicides with EDTA and a surfactant for inhibiting gram negative bacteria growth such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The Applicant has now surprisingly found that the use of specific chelants of the succinic, glutaric or phosphonic class ameliorate these problems.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide the use of a compound having a bactericidal activity.
It is another object of the invention to provide bactericidal compositions containing a chelant.
It is a further object of the invention to provide bactericidal compositions containing a chelant together with a conventional bactericidal compound, wherein the combination of said chelant with the conventional bactericidal compound produce a synergistic bactericidal action.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to the use of a chelant selected from the succinic acid, glutaric acid, phosphonic acid classes or any salts thereof and mixtures thereof as a bactericidal compound. Also provided herein are bactericidal compositions containing said chelant together with or without a conventional bactericidal agent.
Further provided herein is a method for reducing the bacterial growth, which comprises the step of exposing said bacteria strain with a bactericidal composition according to the invention.
Detailed description of the invention Chelant
An essential component of the invention is a chelant. When used as a bactericidal compound per se, the chelant will be present in amount of at least 0.05%, preferably at least 0.7% and more preferably at least 1 % by weight of the composition. When used as a co-bactericide, said chelant will be present in amount from at least 0.05%, preferably at least 0.5% and more preferably at least 1 % by weight of the composition.
Suitable chelants for the purpose of the invention are compounds selected from succinic acid, glutaric acid, phosphonic acid classes or any salts thereof and mixtures thereof.
Non limiting examples of chelants of the succinic acid class include emylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS), 2-hydroxypropy lenediamine disuccinic acid (HPDDS) and any salts thereof and mixtures thereof.
A suitable chelant of the glutaric acid class is ethylenediamine diglutaric acid (EDDG) or salt thereof.
Non limiting examples of chelants of the phosphonic acid class include emylenediaminetetrakis (methylenephosphonic acid), diethylene triamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid), ethylene diamine tri (methylene phosphonic acid), hexamethylene diamine tetra (methylene phosphonic acid), α-hydroxy-2 phenyl ethyl diphosphonic acid, methylene diphosphonic acid, hydroxy 1,1-hexylidene diphosphonic acid, vinylidene 1,1 diphosphonic acid, 1,2 dihydroxyethane 1,1 diphosphonic acid and hydroxy-ethane 1,1 diphosphonic acid and any salts thereof and mixtures thereof.
Preferred from the above phosphonic acid species is hydroxy-ethane 1,1 diphosphonic acid. More preferably, said chelants are selected from ethylenediamine disuccinic acid, ethylenediamine diglutaric acid, 2- hydroxypropylenediamine disuccinic acid, hydroxy ethane 1,1 diphosphonic acid or any salts thereof and mixtures thereof. Especially preferred is ethylenediarnine-N,N'-disuccinic acid or the alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, or substituted ammomum salts thereof, or mixtures thereof. Preferred EDDS compounds are the free acid form and the sodium or magnesium salt or complex thereof. Examples of such preferred sodium salts of EDDS include Na2EDDS and NaβEDDS. Examples of such preferred magnesium complexes of EDDS include MgEDDS and Mg2EDDS.
In an embodiment of the invention is provided a bactericidal composition comprising a chelant, wherein said chelant is as defined herein before.
In another embodiment of the invention, the bactericidal composition of the invention may further comprise one or more conventional bactericidal agents. The combination of said conventional bactericidal agent with said chelant is seen to produce a synergistic action on bacteria strain, particularly on Gram negative bacteria types and more specifically on Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Furthermore, the said combination allows the use of a reduced amount of conventional bactericides. More specifically, the combination produces a reduction in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the conventional bactericide used per se.
By MIC is meant the "Minimum Inhibitory Concentration", e.g the minimum level necessary of such conventional bactericides to inhibit the bacteria growth.
Determination of said MIC is described hereinafter.
Conventional bactericidal agents
Conventional bactericidal agents of use herein, for the purpose of the invention, will be selected from agents having their original MIC (e.g when used without the presence of a chelant of the invention) reduced by at least 50%, preferably 70% and more preferably at least 90% when in the presence of said chelant.
Most preferred conventional bactericidal agents which may be used for the purpose of the invention are bactericidal agents selected from chlorophenol and quaternary ammonium species and mixtures thereof. Preferred among the chlorophenol species are compounds selected from 2,4,4' trichloro-2' -hydroxydiphenyl ether available under the tradename Irgasan DP 300 from Ciba Geigy, 2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-dibromo-diphenyl ether and mixtures thereof.
Preferred among the quaternary ammonium species is cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide.
More preferably, these conventional bactericides are selected from 2,4,4' trichloro-2* -hydroxydiphenyl ether (Irgasan DP 300), cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide and mixtures thereof. A most preferred conventional bactericide to be used in combination with a chelant of the invention is 2,4,4' trichloro-2' -hydroxydiphenyl ether (Irgasan DP 300).
Additional compounds may also be added to the composition. Such additional compounds should not be detrimental to the bactericidal composition of the invention.
Non limiting examples of classes of suitable additional compounds which may be of use herein include surfactants, binders and thickeners.
Surfactant
Non limiting examples of surfactants useful herein, typically at levels from 1% to 95%, preferably 1% to 55% by weight, include the conventional Cn-Ci8 alkyl benzene sulfonates ("LAS") and primary, branched-chain and random C10-C20 alkyl sulfates ("AS"), the C10-C18 secondary (2,3) alkyl sulfates of the formula CH3(CH2) (CHOSθ3~M+) CH3 and CH3 (CH2)y(CHOSθ3"M ) CH2CH3 where x and y - 1) are integers of at least 7, preferably at least 9, and M is a water-solubilizing cation, especially sodium, unsaturated sulfates such as oleyl sulfate, the CiQ-Cis alkyl alkoxy sulfates ("AE S"; especially EO 1-7 ethoxy sulfates), C10-C18 alkyl alkoxy carboxylates (especially the EO 1-5 ethoxycarboxylates), the Cιo_i8 glycerol ethers, the Cio-Cig alkyl polyglycosides and their corresponding sulfated polyglycosides, and C12-C18 alpha-sulfonated fatty acid esters. If desired, the conventional nonionic and amphoteric surfactants such as the Cχ2-Cιg alkyl ethoxylates ("AE"), including the so-called narrow peaked alkyl ethoxylates and C6-C12 alkyl phenol alkoxylates (especially ethoxylates and mixed ethoxy/propoxy), Cχ2-Cl8 betaines and sulfobetaines ("sultaines"), C10-C18 amine oxides, and the like, can also be included in the overall compositions. The C10-C18 N-alkyl polyhydroxy fatty acid amides can also be used. Typical examples include the C12- 18 N- methylglucamides. See WO 9,206,154. Other sugar-derived surfactants include the N-alkoxy polyhydroxy fatty acid amides, such as C10-C18 N (3-methoxypropyl) glucamide.

A particularly effective action is seen on gram negative bacteria and more specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The invention is illustrated in the following non limiting examples.
Method of determination of the bactericidal activity
1 -Preparation of the inoculum
Cultures of the test bacterium were prepared with Pseudomonas aeruginosa in nutrient broth and subcultured at 30°C daily for between three and five successive days before they were required. The inocula were prepared by diluting each of the overnight broth cultures 1:100 in
0.1% Peptone Water immediately prior to use. /02010 P 17US96 09860

2-Determination of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of
EDDS
5ml of the solution of 32.4% trisodium EDDS were added to 5ml of double strength nutrient broth and mixed. 5 ml of this mixture were taken and added to 5ml of single strength broth and mixed. Further halving dilutions were prepared in the same manner until a total of ten dilutions of the product had been prepared.
3-Preparation of solutions of antibacterials
Solutions or suspensions of the antibacterials were prepared in sterile distilled water or water/ethanol mixtures immediately before use.
4-Preparation of nutrient broth containing EDDS Single strength (0.745%) solutions of EDDS in nutrient broth were prepared by adding 2.3ml of 32.4% trisodium EDDS to 97.7ml single strength nutrient broth. Double strength (1.49%) solutions of EDDS in double strength nutrient broth were prepared by adding 4.6ml of 32.4% trisodium EDDS to 95.4ml double strength nutrient broth.
5-Preparation of dilutions of the antibacterials
5ml of the solution or suspension of antibacterial were added to 5ml of double strength nutrient broth and mixed; 5ml of this mixture were taken and added to 5ml of single strength broth and mixed. Further halving dilutions were prepared in the same manner until a total of ten dilutions of the product had been prepared. This operation was repeated but this time all dilutions were prepared in nutrient broth containing EDDS prepared as in point 4.
6-Determination of the MIC of the conventional bactericidal agents Halving dilutions in nutrient broth of each antibacterial prepared in triplicate as in point 5 were inoculated with 10 microlitres of the inoculum and mixed. The inoculated broths were incubated at 30°C for 3 days and then examined for visual turbidity. The presence of turbidity, noted " + " in the examples, was taken as an indicator of bacterial growth and multiplication. 02010
Example 1
MIC of trisodium salt of EDDS (Concentration in dilution Nol = 16.2%)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- - - - - + + + + +
- - - - - + + + + +
- - - - - + + + + +
MIC = 0.506-1.013%
At levels of at least 0.7%, EDDS is seen to produce an effective bactericidal action against Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.
Example 2
MIC of Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (ex BDH) (Concentration in dilution Nol =0.5%)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- - - - + + + + + +
- - - - + + + + + +
- - - - + + + + + +
MIC = 0.0313-0.0625%
MIC of Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide in broth containing 0.745% EDDS (Concentration in dilution Nol =0.5%)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- - - - - - - - - +
- - - - - - - - - -
- - - - - - - - - +
MIC = 0.000977-0.00195%
It can be seen that the combination of EDDS and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide produce a synergistic bactericidal action. Example 3
MIC of 2,4,4' trichloro-2*-hydroxydiphenyl ether (Irgasan DP 300 ex
Ciba-Geigy) (Concentration in dilution Nol =0.5%)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

MIC = > 0.5%-inhibition in dilution Nol due to presence of ethanol
MIC of 2,4,4' trichloro-2'-hydroxydiphenyl ether (Irgasan DP 300) in broth containing 0.745% EDDS (Concentration in dilution Nol =0.5%)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
- - - - - - + + + +
- - - - - - + + + +
- - - - - - - + + +
MIC = 0.00781-0.0156%
It can be seen that the combination of EDDS and 2,4,4' trichloro-2'- hydroxydiphenyl ether (Irgasan DP 300) produce a synergistic bactericidal action.
