Description:
CORRECTING BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION TRANSFER USING THREE BIOLOGICAL INFORMATION BLOCKS.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Normalcy and stability in the functional activity of living organisms and adaptation by the organism to newly developing situations is possible only with the stability of internal informational links within the organism, i.e., only with the informational stability of a living organism. The transfer of biological information and realization of its effects in living organisms has a complex multi-step character and includes vertical and horizontal links with a multitude of feedbacks at various stages.

Structurally, this complex multi-step biological information transfer can be subdivided into three basic levels: the generation and transfer of information; the recognition and decoding of initial information; and intracellular transformation of decoded information into a new external/outgoing signal. This information transfer is shown schematically in FIGURE 1.

The generation of initial internal information takes place both within specialized organs synthesizing and secreting these or other biologically active substances and at the final stage of activity of the majority of cells in the living organism. The difference can consist only in the strength, character, concentration, and informational value of the information being generated. The information being generated represents only the first degree messengers. In other words, the carriers of the initial internal information are the various information substances modulating the final effects that are necessary at the output of the entire information chain. The majority of biologically active substances, hormones etc. that have specific receptors in cells and target organs belong to this group of first degree messengers. Very often the place of synthesis and secretion of first degree messengers is at a

considerable distance from the place of their final realization (cells and target organs) . The most frequent (although not the only) way of transporting these substances to the cells and target organs is via the blood circulatory system. Another type of first degree messenger is the typical medicament, which due to its stereochemical structure, functions by acting upon various specific receptors in the cells and/or in target organs.

At the second level of biological information transfer is the recognition and decoding of initial information. This important element of information regulation involves the recognition of the first degree information substances and is carried out by strictly specific cell receptors. These receptors are typically located on the cell membrane (membrane receptors) or within the cells (cytosol or nuclear receptors) , and included in their structure a polymeric molecule as a carrier of biological specificity. Any biomolecule specifically joining chemical compounds (ligand, agonist, antagonist, medication etc.) on the surface or within the cell and transforming received information into the cell's biological response can serve.as a receptor. After the initial information is recognized by cellular receptors, it is processed by being decoded. Decoding of the incoming signal is possible due to conformational changes of the receptor structure and the activation of cell membrane and or intracellular decoding systems. Both decoding factors are strictly specific and are activated only after the complex of first degree messengers and cell receptors has been formed.

The effective realization of the process of this second level, as well as the regulation and stability thereof, depends to a great extent on the functional state and activity of transmembrane and intracellular conjunction agents, such as lipids, phospholipids, and other cell membrane structural components, etc.

At the third level, decoded information is transformed intracellularly into a new external/outgoing signal. This transformation of a molecular signal into a biochemical reaction

S0BST1TUIE SHEET HllE2β

consists in the synthesis of new information substances. It is important to point out that the intracellular information transfer has a more unified nature than the transfer of information at the previous two levels. More precisely, for each informational substance of the first degree and its corresponding receptor there is no specific agent responsible for the further transfer of intracellular information.

Thus, there are only a few universal ways of intracellular information transfer, which fall into one of the two following groups: extended notion of intracellular second degree messengers - signal transformation and transfer by means of cyclic nucleotides, inositol triphosphate-diacylglycerol line, Ca++ - calmodulin way, etc; or multifactor activators - translocation and intramolecular tie up of receptors with cell acceptors, temperature activation of first degree messenger-receptor complexes, ionic forces, intracellular cascade system, etc.

One can readily observe reduced diversity (but not intensity) of biological information transfer on the third level, which ensures the universal stability of the signal transfer and transformation structure on the intracellular level. All of this is expressed in the closed-system character of the intracellular information volume throughout the second degree messengers and their analogs.

Effective transformation of the decoded signal into the cell's biological response depends to a great extent on the functional activity of non-specific cell transmitters and trigger systems, particularly such as intracellular prostaglandins of various groups, i.e., PGE1&2, PGF1&2, PGA, PGB, prostacyclins, thromboxans, etc. Thus, normal functioning of intracellular information volume is ensured by the buffer concentration of intracellular prostaglandins. Intracellular information transformation and transfer leads to the activation of specific chromatin acceptor locations which initiate multiple specific effects, with transcription processes being initially modulated. The final effect of this complex chain of information transfer is

nTSHm MRE26

stimulation/suppression of DNA synthesis, i.e., the final cellular response - information transformation from first degree messengers to a new cell output signal, which consists in the synthesis (generation) of new information substances . These newly-formed information substances, in their turn, influence the type and intensity of the signal which caused their stimulation/suppression by means of a feedback mechanism.

If structurally the transfer of biological information and the realization of its effects in living organisms is expressed in terms of three levels, it physically materializes itself in the form of informational blocks as shown in FIGURE 2. It is important to point out that the transfer of biological information by blocks actually corresponds to the levels of information transfer.

The first informational block involves the formation of initial information, and includes two stages: synthesis and secretion of first degree messengers of natural origin, or introduction of artificial or non-naturally occurring substances; and the transporting of information substances to cells and target organs.

The second informational block involves the identification of information and includes two stages; strictly specific cell reception of the first degree messengers; and the decoding of a signal carried by the first degree messengers.

The third informational block involves the transformation of a molecular signal into a biochemical reaction and includes a set of intracellular transformers of decoded initial information and their transmitters into the cell final outgoing signal, which results in the synthesis of new information substances.

The informational stability of a living organism is thus affected by four factors: the intensity of influence (in terms of amount and concentration) of an entire group of antagonistically acting

first degree informational substances (the first informational block) ; the presence (in terms of amount and activity) in cells and target organs of specific receptors for certain first degree information substances that initiate intracellular processes resulting in the synthesis of genetically determined new information substances (the second informational block) ; the functional state (in terms of amount and activity) of intracellular regulating mechanisms ' transforming the molecular signal into a biochemical reaction (the third informational block) ; and the genetic determination of the cell function.

When any of these factors are disturbed, a pathology results. Various pathologies have their basis in various stages of the biological information transfer. Thus, a common basis for therapy exists for all pathologies wherein this information transfer has been adversely affected.

Present methods of correction and/or treatment of the different pathologies (as well as skin dysfunctions) are aimed towards attempting to reconstruct the transfer of biological information both by means of interacting directly with the first degree messengers (peptides, steroids, lipids, etc.) and indirectly through the change in the activity and/or amount of the first degree information substances.

It is necessary to emphasize that such methods utilize the first degree informational substances in amounts greatly exceeding the endogenic production of these substances. For instance, prednisone, a commonly prescribed glucocorticosteroid hormone that is about 6-8 times more active that its endogenous analog hydrocortisone, is typically administered by injection in a dosage of 30 mg or orally, in a daily dosage of 12-16 mg. This is approximately equivalent to 40-60 days of the total production of the adrenal cortex gland (corticosuprarenal gland) of hydrocortisone. Taking into account the activity differential, one typical daily therapeutic dose of prednisone is similar to

the amount produced by a normally functioning gland over a period of about ten months.

Additionally, the physiological and biochemical response from "therapeutic" and physiological" dosages of bioactive substances are very different. Frequently, unusual and non-physiological effects are observed when the same bioactive substance is used in amounts exceeding the physiological level .

These current therapeutic practices are not without consequences since the administration of such amounts exceed the organism's normal endogenous production, and as a result causes the loss of the control of the organism's buffering mechanism. This results in a failure of restoration of the disrupted metabolism (disrupted transfer of biological information) . The new non- physiological regulation quickly gets out of order, thereby creating more and more disruptions in the normal biological information transfer and making the organism's informational transfer unstable.

By referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, which diagram normal biological information transfer, it can be seen to what degree present therapeutic methods of treatment are inadequate and inefficient to ensure the information stability of the organism.

A most important aspect of any therapeutic method is the delivery of the active to the target receptor or cell of the organism. The delivery system utilized must provide stability for the active therein, while still allowing the absorption/delivery thereof. To effect useful therapy it is necessary that both requirements be met by the drug delivery system. Especially in the areas of topical and parenteral administration, it is critical to efficacy to provide a delivery system which crosses the cell membrane and allows the active agent or agents to exert their effects.

SJBS lT SHEET (RDl£26)

Stratum corneum, the outer layer of skin, is a multi-cellular membrane of flattened, metabolically active cells. In living organisms, the membrane is dynamic, and the transfer or non- transfer of various agents across this membrane is an important basis of both drug and cosmetic therapy. In order to provide useful therapeutic and cosmetic formulations, it is necessary to utilize a delivery system which is both compatible with the skin, i.e., non-irritating, and which will allow and even facilitate the transfer of the active agent, whether cosmetic or therapeutic, across the skin membrane. It is additionally necessary to utilize a delivery system in which the bioactive components are physically and chemically stable, yet still available for absorption.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to therapeutic methods based on the correction of biological information transfer in organisms where various metabolic disruptions in the organism have occurred. By enabling the reconstruction of the transfer of biological information by restoration of genetically determined chain of biological information transfer by way of simultaneously acting on all levels of the multilevel information transfer, normal cell metabolism is restored.

In accordance with the present invention, restoration the natural biological information transfer is possible by means of creating natural biologically active complexes containing all the necessary information ensuring normal biological information transfer on all three levels. Thus, the informational stability of the organism is ensured by supporting all the basic elements responsible for biological information transfer.

This restoration of biological information transfer is possible by administration of the following types of natural biologically active complexes: vitamin and coenzyme biocomplexes (VCBs) ;

τ EET BEE 26)

natural bioactive complexes (NBCs) ; bioactive complexes modeling (BCMs) ; and multicomponent biologically active complexes (MBACs) .

The quantity, concentration/activity of the agents utilized in the bioactive complexes of the present invention depends upon the particular pathology under treatment, and particularly upon the particular information chain in need of support or restoration to a state of normal biological information transfer.

The efficiency and safety of the bioactive complexes of the instant invention is ensured by selection of a concentration/activity of the information agents in the biocomplexes that are completely governed by the live organism buffering principle. This principle or mechanism functions by the principle of reserving information capacity and ensures that the extra quantity of informational substances in the organism will be eliminated by the buffering ability of the organism.

The present invention also provides therapeutic methods for the restoration of normal cell metabolism in patients in need of such treatment are provided which utilize multi-component biologically active complexes. These multi-component biologically active complexes can be utilized in the treatment of a wide variety of pathologies which have their origin in the disruption of normal biological information transfer thus resulting in a consequent alteration in cell metabolism. Specific complexes, which can be utilized to topically treat various conditions of both normal and diseased skin such as chapping (dry skin) , oily skin, cellulite, atopic dermatitis, ichthyosis, psoriasis, acne, comedones, seborrhea, eczema, neurodermatitis, macular atrophies, skin aplasias, hyperkeratinizations, and alopecia, are provided. Also provided are parenterally administrable compositions suitable for administration to patients suffering from trauma or shock. These bioactive complexes are formulated in a natural delivery system which enhances the absorption of the bioactive complex into the

cell, thereby providing a useful therapeutic tool for both cosmetic and medicinal applications.

The novel natural delivery system of the present invention (also referred to herein as a substitute cell membrane) is thus not only useful as a topical and parenteral vehicle for the aforementioned bioactive complexes, but may also be used as a vehicle for topical application of other skin treating agents, including such pharmaceutical compounds as steroids, anti- microbials, proteins, peptides, anti-inflammatory agents, sunscreens, etc., and as a vehicle for parenteral administration of similar therapeutic agents so administered.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The present invention thus concerns a method of correcting biological information transfer in a patient in need of such therapy which comprises administration to said patient a composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of a biocomplex comprising at least one bioactive agent from each of the three informational blocks of biological information transfer, each agent being present in an amount sufficient to correct the biological information transfer of the patient under treatment and resulting in the resumption of normal cell metabolism, said amount being less than the buffering amount of said agent; together with a carrier therefor.

The compositions of the present invention comprise at least one bioactive agent from each of the three informational blocks of biological information transfer, each agent being present in an amount sufficient to correct the biological information transfer of the patient under treatment and resulting in the resumption of normal cell metabolism, said amount being less than the buffering amount of said agent; together with a biologically acceptable carrier therefor. These informational blocks, complexes, agents and their relationship are shown in the diagram of FIGURE 3.

The amount and concentration of the bioactive agents in the compositions of the present invention is critical to the instant invention. The amount of each bioactive agent is generally of the same order of magnitude as the amount of the bioactive agent

14

found in naturally occurring organisms. This amount is chosen so as to not exceed the "buffering mechanism" of the organism. For the purposes of this invention, an amount which does not exceed the buffering mechanism of the organism is that amount which the organism can normally biologically eliminate from its cells.

Typically, therapeutic agents are administered in such large doses so as to overwhelm the normal biological information transfer system. The therapeutic methods of the present invention differ radically from such dosages in that the compositions utilizing the bioactive agents contain the agents in amounts which are similar to those amounts found in normal living organisms with a normal functioning biological information transfer system. Depending upon the precise therapy, the compositions of the present invention thus contain the bioactive agents in amounts ranging from about those found in such normal living organisms to about two or three times the amount found in normal living organisms.

In the case where support, preservation or mild correction of the biological information transfer disfunction is needed, the amount utilized in the composition will be within the values observed in the organism, i.e., the basal concentration will be that which is observed in a normally functioning organism with an optimum mode of biological information transfer.

In more severe pathologies where acute dysfunction of regulating system are present or particular pathological processes are present, intensive interference and/or restoration of the disrupted biological information transfer is necessary. In these cases, concentration of the bioactive agents is much higher, e.g., on the order of two to three times the amount observed in a normally functioning organism with an optimum mode of biological information transfer. However, even when higher amounts of the bioactive agents are present in the compositions of the present invention, the amounts still do not exceed the buffering

15 ROLE

mechanism of the organism for the particular bioactive agent in question.

The bioactive agents utilized in the compositions of the present invention are selected after a careful analysis of the pathology under treatment. While there is a wide range of bioactive agents which can be utilized, the selection is narrowed once the particular pathology has been selected. Obviously, something of the biochemical origin of the selected pathology must be known, but once this information is known, then the bioactive agents are selected so as to provide a composition wherein at least one agent is present from each of the three informational blocks. Typically, and preferably, the composition will contain more than one agent from each of the three informational blocks.

Thus, the compositions of the present invention contain bioactive agents from each of the three informational blocks to ensure the restoration/support of normal biological information transfer, and the restoration of normal cell metabolism.

In the case where the composition of the present invention is utilized for the support, preservation or mild correction of the biological infromation transfer dysfunction, the composition can be limited to bioactive agents from the third informational block - one or more informational group of informational complexes 6 (see Scheme VI) .

Each of the information blocks consist of informational complexes, which, in turn, include informational agents grouped on the basis of their common effect mechanism on the information transfer level. Theses informational blocks, informational complexes and informational agents, and their relationship are shown diagrammatically in FIGURE 3.

In other words, this complex is represented not by one particular set of information agents but by a whole series of entirely independent informational complexes, each of which influences the particular links of the biological information transfer chain. Informational groups are completely independent; therefore, different groups of informational complex #6 can be simultaneously present in the structure of various informational blocks .

The novel delivery system of the present invention may be of two variations, one of which acts as a substitute cell membrane (SCM) and the other of which is referred to herein as an unloaded delivery complex (UDC) , depending upon whether or not the delivery system has incorporated the desired biocomplexes of the instant invention. Both of these types of delivery systems utilize an aqueous media in combination with a lipid component, a carbohydrate component and a protein component .

The novel delivery system of the present invention thus comprises :

28

sll SHEET R0LE26

50-95% by weight of an aqueous media in combination with 1.5-25% by weight of a lipid component; 0.2-10% by weight of a carbohydrate component; and 0.01-15% by weight of a protein component.

The aqueous media of the delivery system of the present invention preferably comprises distilled water in combination with pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic grade stabilizers, cryoprotect nts, bile acids, protease inhibitors, protein stabilizers, antioxidants, and preservatives. Depending upon the particular use of the delivery system, these adjuvants are added to the distilled water in minor amounts to perform their designated purposes.

The lipid component of the delivery system of the instant invention is preferably comprised of a mixture of saturated fatty acids, triacylglycerols with saturated and/or unsaturated fatty acids, natural and/or modified phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycosphingolipids and sterols. The percentage composition of each of these types of lipids will vary according to the particular usage of the delivery system.

The compositions of the instant invention which are formulated in the substitute cell membrane variation of the delivery system of the instant invention are prepared by first mixing together the components of the aqueous media with the lipid, carbohydrate and protein components using a magnetic stirrer or other suitable homogenizer, and then utilizing a homogenizing-type device to form a microemulsion of these components with the bioactive complexes wherein the size of the resultant particles of the microemulsion are of the order of 60-150nm. This mixture is then stored for an incubation period, with low speed stirring. This is followed by centrifugation to fractionate the various particle sizes. Removal of the supernatant results in the formation of a membrane-like substance from the supernatant which contains the desired bioactive agents. This composition can be utilized directly in the treatment of patients, or can be lyophilized for an indefinite period of storage before reconstitution and use. Further specific details are described below in the "Basic Steps of Biocomplexes Preparation with and without Substitute Cell Membrane" .

SUSSTTfUTE SH

In the process for the preparation of the compositions of the invention in the substitute cell membrane variation delivery system, the homogenization is typically accomplished by a high shear homogenizer at about 5000-10000 rpm, but can also be achieved utilizing similar devices which achieve micron-sized subdivision of the particles. Typically, the incubation period of the process is about 40 °C, but this is dependent upon the stability of the bioactive ingredients, and can be adjusted in accordance therewith. Typical incubation times to achieve uniform particle size are in the range of 30 minutes to 3 or 4 hours, and most preferably range from 1-3 hours, but these are likewise dependent upon the particular bioactive agent utilized and the particular lipid, carbohydrate and protein components used in the formulation of the composition.

Typical centrifugation parameters are in the range of 1500 - 2000 g for periods of about 30 minutes to about 6 hours.

In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the substitute cell membrane can be prepared as an unloaded delivery complex no active agents or with only some of the active ingredients incorporated therein. In the unloaded delivery complex variation of the compositions of the present invention, the aqueous media is added to the lipid, carbohydrate and protein components, and these are homogenized to form a uniform mixture. In such instances, the pH of the unloaded delivery complex is adjusted so as to be 3-4 pH units lower that the pH of the bioactive agents which are to be later incorporated. For example, if the pH of the bioactive agents is about 7, then the unloaded delivery complex is prepared with a pH of about 4. At a subsequent time, the thus-formed substitute cell membrane can be re-hydrated, and the bioactive agents, or additional bioactive agents added thereto. This allows large quantity preparation of the substitute cell membrane delivery system, with later incorporation of the particular desired bioactive agents. This method is suitable only in the instance where three or fewer

bioactive agents are being added to the substitute cell membrane delivery system.

BASIC STEPS OF BIOCOMPLEXES PREPARATION WITH AND WITHOUT SUBSTITUTE CELL MEMBRANE: Step 1 Biocomplexes preparation Step 2 Substitute cell membrane preparation

Step 3 Incorporation of the biocomplexes into thesubstitute cell membrane

Step 4 Centrifugation

Step 5 Freeze-drying procedure

Step 6 Fine grinding procedure

Step 1 : Biocomplexes Preparation

Each biocomplex consists of specific media/medias and specific active agents.

1.1 Media preparation

Specific media must be prepared for particular active substances composition. It is possible to have multiple parts in the final biocomplex. When this is the case, it is necessary to prepare appropriate specific media for each part of the active ingredient composition, (for details, see specific biocomplex formulation) .

Take all media components and dissolve in distilled water/buffer by mixing on a magnetic stirrer or on a homogenizer.

1.2 Active substance composition preparation Weigh all active ingredients - Dissolve/disperse each active ingredient in appropriate media by mixing on a homogenizer with Ultra-Turrax type of adapter. In some instances, it is necessary to predissolve the active ingredient in a specific solvent (see examples below) . If there are separate parts of the active substances composition in the final biocomplex, prepare each part separately.

1.3 Mixing of the active substances composition

32

This specific step is necessary if there are multiple parts containing separate active substances composition in final biocomplex. Add/mix all parts with each other (specific order of adding, see in appropriate formulation) by mixing on a magnetic stirrer/homogenizer.

1.4 Biocomplex creation

The final biocomplex is created by mixing/homogenizing of the active substances composition with the media on Ultra-Turrax type of homogenizer. Specific regimen of homogenization (time, speed- RPM, vacuum) varies according to the specific components in each biocomplex formulation.

1.5 Biocomplex Storage Before the biocomplex is formulated into the delivery system or freeze-dried, it is necessary to store the biocomplex in a cool place (refrigerator) for a holding period.

Step 2: Substitute Cell Membrane Preparation (SCM) Substitute cell membrane consists of media and active ingredients (lipid, carbohydrate and protein components) . 2.1 Media preparation

Weigh all media components and dissolve in distilled water by mixing on a magnetic stirrer or on a homogenizer. 2.2 SCM components preparation

Weigh all active ingredients for the SCM. If it is necessary, predissolve appropriate compounds in specific solvent (see specific formulation of SCM) . 2.3 Final Preparation of SCM Mix all the SCM components, step-by-step, into the media by mixing with Ultra Turrax type of homogenizer. Adjust pH of SCM to appropriate level (see specific formulation of SCM) . Continue mixing (after last component has been added) on a homogenizer not more than 15-25 minutes. Specific times vary according to the particular formulation.

Step 3 : Incorporation of Biocomplex into SCM

33

Slowly add biocomplex into SCM by mixing on a homogenizer. Adjust pH to an appropriate level. Continue mixing on ultra- Turrax type of homogenizer. Specific times, rotation per minutes, vacuums and temperatures will vary according to the specific formulation.

Step 4 : Centrifugation

Centrifuge SCM-incorporated biocomplex. Specific times, gravities and temperatures of centrifuge will vary according to the specific formulation.

Step 5 : Freeze-Drying Procedure Freeze-dry final product.

Step 6 : Fine Grinding Procedure

Grind freeze-dry powder to particle size specifically indicated in formulation.

The effectiveness of various types of specific biocomplexes has been evaluated both for intravenous infusion and topical applications.

Scientific research for evaluation of the compositions containing bioactive complexes of the present invention was performed extensively and reflected the functional condition of the main regulatory system of the organism and cell metabolism.

The study included the following systems: - first degree messengers, more than 50 different types of proteins, lipids, steroids and other biologically active substances were simultaneously studied; second degree messengers, intracellular transmitters, and different types of prostaglandins; - cell membrane and cytosol receptors;

34

cardiovascular circulation, which includes the systemic, peripheral, cerebral and myocardial circulation (over 80 different parameters) .

This research was focused on two varying types of formulations. The first type of formulation was prepared for intravenous injection of specific compositions of bioactive agents (especially created for critical conditions, as described in Example 12) during the post-trauma reaction of an organism. The second type of formulation was prepared for topical application of various types of compositions of bioactive complexes with specific effects such as activation and/or depression of specific cellular function.

The results of these experiments and the details of the materials, methods and results are described below.

TESTING OF PARENTERAL FORMULATIONS

Materials and Methods

The experimental technique was developed using 20 dogs. Then the primary experiments were conducted. After the third experiment, the results were statistically processed in order to check the validity of the data obtained. If the obtained results were statistically valid, the series was considered completed. This approach to the experiments is caused by high cost of reagents used for the analyses.

The experiments were conducted on male mongrel dogs having a mass of 19-25 kg. All the experiments were carried out under local anesthesia.

After administration of a depolarizing relaxant - succinylcholine

(diacetylcholine, eistenon) , introduced intravenously with a dose of 0.8 + 1.0 mg per kilogram of mass, endotracheal intubation was conducted. Artificial pulmonary ventilation (APV) was performed with the aid of the respirators PO-6-03. The adequacy of APV was

35

StlBSTTTOTE SHEET ROLE 26

controlled by means of arterial blood pH, venous blood pH, hemoglobin saturation with oxygen (Sa02 of arteria) and by cerebral circulation parameters.

In each case, traumatization was made 60 minutes later after a dog was switched to APV (giving the experimental animal time to adapt both to APV and to the nonphysiological position on the operating table with all the above-mentioned parameters being under control. Then, various types of trauma were performed, e.g., experimental hemorrhagic shock or experimental traumatization. The aggression continued until arterial pressure was lowered by 30-50% compared to its background value down to 70-80 Torr. This method of traumatization has a number of advantages over a trauma inflicted by the standard method, since it makes it possible to control the process in order to reach a certain extreme state by varying the dose of traumatic action.

After one hour of traumatization, treatment of the animals is begun. For this purpose, two groups of treatment procedures were developed.

Standard Treatment Procedure (Control Group)

This procedure included complex therapy with most advanced drugs using in shock conditions. Complex treatment included transfusion therapy with high and low molecular weight dextrans, various types of steroids -- gluco- and mineralo-corticosteroids, vasoconstrictors, anabolitic hormones, metabolizers, etc., active drugs.

SOBSTI

animals was estimated according to the following scheme: the background level, the initial level (an hour later after APV started) , 5 minutes after traumatization is finished, and then every hour until the end of the experiment .

All the hormones and biologically active substances in blood were examined by the radioimmunological analysis (RIA) which is characterized by a high specificity ' , high sensibility and precision. Radiometry of the samples was evaluated on fully automated installations for radioche ical analysis "Beta-1", "Beta-2", "Gamma-1", and "Gamma-12". These installations are provided with an applications package to make all the necessary calculations of the RIA data both in the on-line and off-line regimes. The names of hormones are given in accordance with the nomenclature recommended by the International Biological Union.

Using corresponding commercial kits, the following hormones have been determined:

1. Adrenocorticoid hormone (ACTH, corticotropin) was determined using the commercial kit ACTHK-PR (CIS International, France) and

JNC-2400 (Immuno-Nuckar Corporation, USA) ;

2. Vasopressin (ADH) was determined using the kits Vasopressin RIA (Buhlman Labor, Switzerland) ;

B. Methods of Membrane and Cytosol Receptors Study

All membrane and cytosol receptors were evaluated using various types of radioisotope ligand techniques. Using corresponding isotope ligand, the following receptors activity/amount have been determined: membrane type of receptors : βl and β2 - adrenoreceptors, αl and α2 adrenoreceptors, angiotensin II receptors, prostaglandin E2 receptors, prostaglandin F2α receptors; cytosol type of receptors: glucocorticosteroid receptors, mineralo-corticosteroid receptors, estrogen receptors, androgen receptors.

C. Methods of Blood Circulation (Hemodynamic) Examination

For complex studies of blood circulation the computer system D3- 28 as well as CM1803 were used. An algorithm and application package for automatic processing of over 80 parameters of blood circulation both in the on-line and off-line systems was developed. Monitoring systems accomplished permanent control over most of the circulating parameters, and every 30 minutes

38

documentary records of all the indices under study were carried out. a) Central (systemic) hemodynamic (CH) . The following CH indices were examined: (1) arterial pressure (AP) was studied by the invasive method; (2) cardiac stroke volume (CSV) was studied by the rheographic method using the rheograph P4-02; (93) heart rate (HR) ; (4) minute blood volume (MBV) ; (5) peripheral resistance (PR) ; (6) blood volume (BV) - by the method of diluting serum albumin, labeled by 1311. The measurements were made on the autoanalyzer "volumetron" (ANS-731) ; (7) hematocrit number (Ht) ; (8) central venous pressure (CVP) .

(b) Contractile function of the myocardium was studied by the most common method in electromechanocardiography-phase analysis of ventricular systole. For this purpose polycardiographic record (PCR) was made consisting of electrocardiogram, phonocardiogram and rheogram of the aorta. The analysis of ventricular systole phases was conducted by K. Blumberg's method in V.L. Carpman' s modification (3) , taking into account variations of their deciphering. From the PCR indices were calculated: (1) phase duration of asynchronous contraction (AC) ; (2) phase duration of isometric contraction (IC); ; (3) duration of expulsion period (E) ; (4) duration of tension period (T) ,- (5) duration of common systole (Sc) ; (6) duration of electrical systole (Sc) ; (7) duration of diastole (D) ; (8) myocard tension index (MTI) ; (9) Blumberg-Muller mechanical coefficient (BMC); (10) intrasystolic index (ISI) ; (11) time of expulsion of the minute blood volume (TMBV) ; (12) rate of the left ventricle evacuation (Ve) ; (13) duration of the mechanical systole (Sm) . (c) Cerebral circulation was studied by the rheoencephalography (REG) . To this aim, needle electrodes were introduced hypodermically in bitemporal lead providing net blood flow of the cerebral cortex and subcortex. The REG data were measured by the four-channel rheograph P4-02 in channel at a frequency of 120 kHz. The differential REG was recorded simultaneously with the volumetric curve.

39

The following parameters were studied: 1. cerebral circulation index (C/CI) ; 2. volumetric rate of cerebral circulation (VRC) ; 3. volumetric pulse ration (PR%) ; 4. amplitude rate index (ARI) ; 5. filling rate of "great vessels of the organ (region) investigated - Vrapid; 6. filling rate of small vessels - Vslow; 7. tension of great vessels of the organ (region) investigate - tgr; 8. small vessels tension - tsm; 9. total vascular tension of the organ (region) studied - Vtot; 10. pulse wave transmission of time along the section heart-organ studied (PVTT) .

d) Peripheral circulation was studied by the rheovasographical method (RVG) by means of introducing needle electrodes into the distal girdle of the hind (pelvic) limb: one at the level of distal girdle of tarsal bones, the other in the metarsal region. The RVG data were measured by the 4-channel rheograph P4-02 with synchronous record of the volumetric and differential curve. The quantitative analysis of RVG was carried out similarly to the REG calculating method.

e) In addition to noninvasive methods of myocardium and peripheral circulation functions evaluation, invasion method of catheterization of the various vessels was also used: myocardium catheterization - specific catheters for catheterization of the left and right ventricles were used. Those catheters allowed monitoring of important physiological information in those ventricles and provided more detailed information about the functional condition of the myocardium; peripheral vessels catheterization - allowed monitoring of important information directly from vessels;

f) Microcirculation was evaluated by a method developed by Dr. Kalantorov based on radioisotope detection after subcutaneous injection of low dosage of radioisotopes, such as TC99 or 1131.

Standard statistical data processing was accomplished on the computers D5-28 and CM 1803-04. To estimate the validity of each parameter, deviation from the initial (100%) level as a whole in

40

SOBSTπUTE SHEET (ROLE 26)

each phase (p phases) was determined. It was calculated as a product of probabilities (P) of individual points differences in this phase since each point is an independent measurement . Changes in phases at p < 0.05 were considered valid.

Time - Invariant Methods of Posttraumatic Changes Estimations (Time Normalization Method) An important methodical problem which is associated with a great number of controversial results in literature concerning shock and extreme is due to the individual peculiarities of each organism, even in the case of inflicting ideally standardized trauma (which is rather problematic per se) . It is inevitable that the reciprocal response of the organism to trauma and the lifetime of experimental animals is different. To overcome these differences, changes of a number of indices characterizing functions of the organism (including blood circulation) in shock are made in different intervals from the start of the process. In this case within each interval average indices are calculated on the basis of values, taken from animals (or people) at various levels of the process. It should be emphasized that the number of long-term experiments decreases progressively, reducing usefulness of the information used for deriving average values . In the scientific literature, comparison is fairy often made of indices of various organism functions recorded at the same time intervals from the start of the process without taking into account the fact that in experimental animals this process can proceed at different rates, hence one group can incorporate indices recorded at different phases of the process and each of them has an inherent mechanism of development with specific external manifestations. To a large extent, it is due to the fact that a sufficient number of important parameters both in the experiment and in clinic are determined discretely rather than permanently. Just that is why the analysis of changes in parameters characterizing these or those functions in a pathologic process should be conducted not only allowing for astronomical time elapsed since the start of the process or after

41

pathogenic stimulation, but rather in its dynamics considering the severity of the general condition.

Estimation of indices in the course of permanently developing process at equal intervals has an additional disadvantage. In this case, the sharpest shifts of the indices under study may appear not recorded at all, while in the monotonous course excess information is obtained.

Therefore, in order to be able to compare the results of single experiments (in which lifetime of the experimental animals fluctuates noticeably) as well as to increase validity and substantiation of the conclusions, we have divided each experiment into periods of time as follows.

The time count of the experiment started five minutes after trauma infliction ceased. The end of time count of the experiment was the moment of ceasing cardiac activity of the experimental animal (in the group of dead animals) .

For each animal, an individual dimensionless coefficient K was calculated: K = tmax/-ti, where tmax is the time of the most prolonged experiment in this series. In our case tmax = 6 hours, 30 minutes. ti is the duration of the present experiment. (The lifetime of ten experimental animals in the group of dead animals varied from 1 hour, 20 minutes to 6 hours, 50 minutes.)

In each case, the measurement period of all the studied parameters was multiplied by this individual coefficient. Thus, in this way, each experiment was normalized. It is evident that in this case absolute time of measurement of this or that reading lost all meaning, and in all the diagrams and in discussions such normalized time of the whole experiment was taken as 100% and hence each moment of time was also expressed on percentage basis.

42

SUBSTTTIITE SHEET ROLE 26

This enabled the plotting of diagrams averaged over all the experiments. They reflected changes in all the measured parameters depending on time.

The majority of the parameters investigated have allowed us to identify three phases of the process for the parameters of the central hemodynamics, cerebral and peripheral blood flows, phase analysis of the cardia cycle and hormonal shifts .

Phase duration was (in % of all the experimental time) : tl = 28.4% (0-28.4) ; t2 = 40.7% (28.4-69.1) ; t3 = 30.9% (69.1-100) .

In view of the differences in phase duration, we calculated relative rate of changes in all the studied parameters of circulation and hormone content in each phase, since changes in any parameter by one and the same value (in different phases) can proceed at different rates.

This time normalization is substantiated if one takes into account some aspects of tanatogenesis. Any pathological factor or any aggression causes reciprocal response of the organism at all levels: from a cell to general systems of the function of the organism. If the catabolic phase of the postaggressive reaction is harmonious and adequate and function autoregulation is preserved, the action of a damaging factor does not result in the terminal state. However, too severe or too prolonged aggression, imperfect reactivity of the organism cause a harmonious and inadequate postaggressive reaction. In this case, if any function is depleted, others are disturbed inevitably and the total postaggressive reaction turns form a defense reaction into decompensated one, pathogenesis becomes tanatogenesis. At this stage of pathology, specificity of an aggression factor is not critical. Since the moment when an inharmonious general postaggressive reaction becomes lethal for the organism, the tantatogenesis mechanisms are similar in all the terminal states, but in different individuals they can proceed at different rates.

43

The "human organism is not a polyglot" as to its basic pathophysiological mechanisms. There exists a general reciprocal reaction qualitatively of the same type at any kind of a conflict between the human organism and its environment. The time normalization of the experiment has been suggested to level different rates of the process proceeding in different individuals.

This nonuniformity of developing of shock in connection with compensation mechanism and correlation between damage extent and adaptive reaction manifestation has been described in the scientific literature.

Division of the postaggressive reaction of the organism into separate phases makes it possible to consider disturbances of many circulation parameters by stages as well as a reciprocal reaction of the endocrine system in tanatogenesis.

Comparison data of using specific compositions of bioactive agents created for shock pathology, whose preparation is described in Example 12, and standard treatment procedure during post-trauma reaction of the test animals is shown in FIGURES 4- 17. These figures demonstrate the effectiveness of the compositions of the present invention as a treatment procedure in comparison with standard (control) treatment procedure currently available in the pharmaceutical industry.

Using the standard treatment procedure, the test animals had a mortality rate equal to 85-90%. However, in the treatment procedure which utilized a composition of the present invention created for shock pathology, mortality levels were reduced to 27- 32%.

By observing the FIGURES 4-17, one observes improvement not only in blood circulation parameters, but also stabilization and adequate adaptation of first degree messengers as well as second

44 ΕULE 26

degree messengers in comparison with the standard treatment procedure.

TESTING OF TOPICAL FORMULATIONS

Using specific compositions for topical application containing bioactive agents according to the present invention, the individualized reaction of cellular metabolism can be observed.

The investigation of a topical application of the various types of biocomplexes was carried out in vivo on 10, 15 and 20 kg male and female dogs. All experiments were carried out under anesthesia as described hereinabove.

The hair of the dorsal skin was cut but not shaven. The biocomplexes were spread on the skin at a rate of 5 ml per 150 cm2, and were tested by comparison with controls containing only vehicle. Tissue samples (8-10 mm stamp biopsies) were removed every thirty minutes during a five hour experimental period. Tissue samples were immediately shock-frozen in liquid nitrogen. Later, they were homogenized in polytron-type homogenizer and appropriate extraction procedures performed to evaluate the specific receptor's activity.

All membrane and cytosol receptors were evaluated using various types of radioisotopic ligand techniques as described hereinabove.

Microcirculation was examined using rheovasographic method (RCG) as well as by radioisotopic detection techniques described hereinabove.

The results from the topical testing of the various biocomplexes are graphically depicted in FIGURES 18-30. In these figures, Roman numerals (I, II, III) refer to the phase of the test process. Many intracellular active substances evaluated during this testing change their activity by phase. The horizontal axis

45

shows the passage of time of the experiment, which is standardized to 100%. The vertical axis shows the concentration of bioactive substances under evaluation. In all testing, 100% is equivalent to the normal concentration of the particular bioactive substance in a healthy functioning organism. These results demonstrate the specific effects of biocomplexes when applied topically to increase and/or decrease specific functions which are necessary to achieve the desired therapeutic and/or cosmetic results.

The utility of the bioactive complexes of the instant invention for topical application was determined by clinical testing conducted at the Institute of Experimental Morphology Academy of Science and Scientific Research Institute of Dermatology of the Georgian Ministry of Health. Twenty-five different skin diseases were studied, using a total of 3061 enrolled patients. All studies were conducted in double-blind fashion. The control group utilized 482 patients receiving conventional treatment for the particular disease under study. At the end of two years, the data was analyzed to confirm the differences in the patient populations.

Patients with oily and very oily skin Utilizing the compositions described in Examples 4 and 5, respectively, oily and very oily skin were found to revert to normal, due to a decrease in the production of skin oil. In 87% of the cases with oily skin, gland production was normalized in 1-3 months. In 91% of the cases with very oily skin, there was a significant reduction in oil production, with a reduction to oily skin within 1.5-3.5 months. Within a further 2-4 months, 63% of these patients experienced a normalization of sebaceous gland production.

Patients with dry and very dry skin Utilizing the compositions described in Examples 2 and 3 respectively, patients with dry and very dry skin experienced an increase in sebaceous gland production until it reached a normal

46

state. In 92% of the cases with dry skin, normalization occurred with 20-60 days. In 97% of cases with very dry skin, a significant increase of oil production was observed in 15-30 days, with complete normalization of sebaceous gland function observed within an additional 1.5-3.5 months.

Patients with normal skin Utilizing the formulation described in Example 1, normal skin treated maintained a normal skin metabolism and experienced a lack of premature aging.

Cellulite In 86% of cases with cellulite, the patients observed a substantial decrease of lumpy fat in the thighs, hips and buttock areas. Elasticity, tone and contraction of the skin in the cellulite areas increased in a remarkable manner when compositions of Examples 7, 15 and 17 were used simulataneously.

Total patient population 87% of the patient population reported a reduction in the size and appearance of wrinkles.

Skin diseases In patients with a recognized skin disease, efficacy was reported as follows: acne - 82% (using composition of Example 9) ; neurodermatitis - 79% (using composition of Example 11) ; ecze atous - 75% (using composition of Example 11) ; psoriasis - 76% (using composition of Example 10) ; and itches of the skin - 83% (using composition of Example 11) .

Hair and scalp diseases In patients with a recognized hair and scalp disease, efficacy was reported as follows: alopecia - 80%; and seborrhea - 86% using the compositions of Examples 6, 16 and 17 simultaneously.
