The invention further provides such compositions, concentrated forms thereof, dry solid forms thereof and methods and kits for preparing such compositions Biodegradable antimicrobial compositions and uses thereof to combat microorganisms. The present invention relates to biodegradable antimicrobial compositions and uses thereof to combat microorganisms. More specifically there is provided a synergistic combination of a specific akylglycoside and low molecular weight carboxylic acids which, when combined in an aqueous formulation, exerts antimicrobial effects at concentrations at which no such activity is observed for the individual components. More specifically said formulations are aqueous compositions which comprise a decylglucoside at a concentration of as little as about 2mM and at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid, or a water-soluble salt thereof, at a concentration of as little as about 1µΜ. The invention therefore provides methods for combating the contamination of a site with a microorganism, particularly large scale industrial, agricultural, institutional and commercial sites, which comprise applying such compositions to such sites. As shown in the Examples, these concentrations of the components of the synergistic combination of the invention are the minimum concentrations having practical antimicrobial effects. Advantageously, the aqueous composition may be provided in a concentrated form which may be diluted with an aqueous diluent to closer to the minimum concentrations at or near the site of application prior to use, thereby minimising the cost and environmental impact of the composition itself and all parts of the production and supply chain. The site to be treated with the compositions of the invention may be in any context, and as such both medical and non-medical uses are provided. Also provided are dry solid, e.g. powder, compositions comprising amounts of a decylglucoside and at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid, or a water-soluble salt thereof, that following contact with a sufficient amount of an aqueous liquid provides the ready to use antimicrobial aqueous compositions of the invention. There is a continuing need to develop antimicrobial compositions that have the least impact on the environment possible. Such compositions must be highly effective so as to minimise the amount of antimicrobial compound (and any diluent or excipients) applied. Even if the diluent used is water, there is now pressure to minimise the use of this natural resource. The antimicrobial compounds (and other ingredients) should also be biodegradable, ideally readily so, and non-hazardous to higher organisms. Moreover, the manufacture of such compounds should involve natural compounds as source materials. From a cost perspective the more effective the composition the less must be used, thereby saving on materials costs and manufacturing and transport costs. The provision of concentrated forms, which may be diluted with an aqueous diluent to form a ready to use composition at or near the site of application prior to use, may further minimise the cost and environmental impact of the composition itself and all parts of the production and supply chain. Similarly ready mixed solid , e.g. powder, forms of the components of the compositions of the invention which may be dissolved in an aqueous diluent at or near the site of application prior to use in order to form a ready to use composition will also be a cost and environmentally effective option. Antimicrobial compositions comprising alkyl glycosides and bactericidally active carboxylic acids have been proposed in US 4920 100 on the basis of the apparent potentiation of the antibacterial effects of the carboxylic acid by the alkyl glycoside. In contrast, it has now been surprisingly found that the combination of a decylglucoside at concentrations at or just above the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the decylglucoside (about 1.8 to about 2mM or about 300ppm) with extremely low concentrations of a low molecular weight carboxylic acid, e.g. lactic acid and/or citric acid results in a highly effective antimicrobial composition . Such concentrations of low molecular weight carboxylic acid are orders of magnitude lower than those proposed for use or used in US 4920 100. Thus in a first aspect the invention provides a method for combating contamination of a site with a microorganism, said method comprising contacting the site and/or the microorganism with an antimicrobial aqueous composition comprising: (i) a decylglucoside at a concentration of about 2mM to about 40mM, and (ii) at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid, or a water-soluble salt thereof, at a concentration of about 1µ Μ to about 100m M. The decylglucosides are a class of alkyl glycoside containing monomeric glucose as the glycone group and a 10 carbon saturated alkyl chain linked to the glucose residue via a glycosidic bond , e.g. an S-, N-, C-, or O-glycosidic bond . Preferably the decylcoside is decyl β-D-glucopyranoside. For convenience, references herein to the at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid include water-soluble salts thereof unless context dictates otherwise. The at least one C to C carboxylic acid may be a C to C C to C , or C to 8 6, 3 8 3 C6 carboxylic acid. The at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid may be an aliphatic or an aromatic carboxylic acid containing one or more carboxyl groups. Straight-chain or branched , saturated or unsaturated , unsubstituted or mono- or disubstituted acids may be used. The at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid may preferably monocarboxylic or dicarboxylic. Suitable substituents are SR (wherein R = H or C -3 alkyl, e.g. -CH 3), NR2 (wherein R2 is independently H or C -3 alkyl, e.g. -CH 3), CI, Br, N0 2 and OH. Preferably the at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), e.g. lactic acid , citric acid, glycolic acid , malic acid, mandelic acid and tartaric acid. The at least one C to C8 carboxylic acid may for example be, e.g. lactic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, malic acid , mandelic acid , tartaric acid , butyric acid , succinic acid , sorbic acid , isocitric acid, aconitic acid, propane-1 ,2,3- tricarboxylic acid, propionic acid , valeric acid , benzoic acid, oxalic acid or salicylic acid . Lactic acid and citric acid are preferred . If isomeric forms are available, any isomeric form or mixture thereof, e.g. racemic, may be used. In certain embodiments the L(+) isomer only is used, e.g. L(+) lactic acid . Water-soluble salts of the recited carboxylic acids are primarily alkali or alkali earth metal salts, of which the sodium, potassium and calcium salts are preferably used . Preferably the water-soluble salts are non-hazardous to humans and higher organisms, especially in the context of the medical uses of the invention . By "water soluble" it is meant that the salt can be dissolved to the required concentration in the antimicrobial aqueous composition .

It was found that a test hypha adapted to MCZ or KCZ was also adapted to AMPH but that a hypha adapted to AMPH was not adapted either to MCZ or KCZ. These adaptation phenomena to respective agents did not occur after incubation in the medium supplemented with ergosterol. The cross adaptation phenomena were suspected to be due to modification of the synthesis pathway of ergosterol and related derivatives.

  • Nystatin Cream USP, 100,000 Units Per Gram Rx Only
    NYSTATIN- nystatin cream Rebel Distributors Corp ---------- Nystatin Cream USP, 100,000 units per gram Rx only DESCRIPTION Nystatin Cream is for dermatologic use. Nystatin is a polyene antimycotic obtained from Streptomyces noursei. It is a yellow to light tan powder with a cereal-like odor, very soluble in water, and slightly to sparingly soluble in alcohol. Structural formula: Nystatin Cream contains the antifungal antibiotic nystatin at a concentration of 100,000 USP Nystatin Units per gram in an aqueous, perfumed cream base containing purified water, propylene glycol, methylparaben, propylparaben, white petrolatum, glyceryl monostearate, polyethylene glycol 400 monostearate, ceteareth-15, medical antifoam AF emulsion, aluminum hydroxide gel, titanium dioxide, sorbitol solution, and, if necessary, sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Nystatin is an antifungal antibiotic which is both fungistatic and fungicidal in vitro against a wide variety of yeasts and yeast-like fungi. It probably acts by binding to sterols in the cell membrane of the fungus with a resultant change in membrane permeability allowing leakage of intracellular components. Nystatin is the first well tolerated antifungal antibiotic of dependable efficacy for the treatment of cutaneous, oral and intestinal infections caused by Candida (Monilia) albicans and other Candida species. It exhibits no appreciable activity against bacteria. Nystatin provides specific therapy for all localized forms of candidiasis. Symptomatic relief is rapid, often occurring within 24 to 72 hours after the initiation of treatment. Cure is effected both clinically and mycologically in most cases of localized candidiasis. INDICATIONS AND USAGE Nystatin Cream is indicated in the treatment of cutaneous or mucocutaneous mycotic infections caused by Candida (Monilia) albicans and other Candida species.

Medical, Economic and Public Health Assessment Division 1 1 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MEDICINAL PRODUCT 1.1. Active ingredient ciclopirox 1.2. Originality ONYTEC is a water-soluble nail lacquer formulation based on ciclopirox. It rinses off in water. 1.3. Indication "Mild to moderate onychomycosis caused by dermatophytes and/or other ciclopirox-sensitive fungi, without lunula involvement. » 1.4. Dosage "Topical use on fingernails and toenails and immediately adjacent skin (perionychium, hyponychium). Unless otherwise specified, ONYTEC nail lacquer should be applied to the clean, dry affected nail(s) in a thin layer once a day. The medicated nail lacquer must be applied to the entire nail plate, 5 mm of surrounding skin and, if possible, to the free edge of the nail. ONYTEC nail lacquer takes about thirty seconds to dry. Treated nails must not be washed for at least six hours, and patients are therefore advised to apply the product in the evening before retiring. After this time the normal hygiene routine can be resumed. There is no need to use a solvent or abrasive (i.e. a nail file) to remove ONYTEC nail lacquer; washing the nails is sufficient.

  • Antifungals of the Azole Type
    RISK PROFILE Antifungals of the azole type This concerns azole type molecules used to eradicate or control fungi. They are used, or may potentially be used, for cosmetic purposes as defined in the European Commission database for cosmetic ingredients currently called CosIng. Date of reporting 24.11.201 4 This risk profile deviates in its format from other risk profiles in the series of pharmacological active substances as presented on the webpages of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA). This is because the health risk arising because of use in cosmetics of these molecules mainly has to do with a potential worsening of the serious global problem of antimicrobial/antibiotic resistance/cross-resistance. The other risk profiles in this series concerns the toxicity of different cosmetics ingredients. The NSFA base this risk profile mainly on concerns expressed by the European Medicinal Agency (EMA) that on two occasions – in 2005 and 2011 - addressed the unfortunate use of azole type antifungals in cosmetics products. Also the NSFA observes that the same concern has been expressed by the Council of Europe in a publication as from 2008 concerning the use of Active ingredients in cosmetics. Over the years the Norwegian Medicinal Products Agency has strongly encouraged the NFSA forcefully to oppose any use of molecule in cosmetics that might potentially weaken the medicinal anti-fungus armamentarium against life threatening systemic fungal infections in people having a seriously compromised immune system. Over the years, also the European Commission has addressed this issue asking its scientific committee working in the field of cosmetic products - currently called the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) - for advice.
