In another the pharmaceutical topical composition is administered for 20 days. In another the pharmaceutical topical composition is administered for 30 days.

[00081] In another the pharmaceutical topical composition is administered in chronic administration.

[00082] A skilled artisan would understand the meaning of “chronic administration” as administration over a long period of time, varying from weeks to months and years. Chronic administration can also mean treating a condition or disease that is persistent, constantly, recurring or otherwise long-lasting in its effects or a disease that comes with time, therefore the chronic administration can be periodically administration.

Examples

Example 1 - In vivo experiment in mice

[00083] The treatment was tested in two preliminary experiments on mice to test the safety and therapeutic effect of the molecules on acute wounds and acute wounds contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus bacterium.

[00084] In the experiments, a deep cut (1.5 cm long ) was made using a scalpel or sharp scissors on the back of the mouse until the fascia layer was removed. The treatment was carried out in two ways - in the first experiment the molecules dissolved in water were dripped onto the wound and in the second experiment the cream with the molecules (600 pM 1:1 ratio) was applied to the wound. The treatments were carried out immediately after performing the incision and were given twice a day for 4 days.

[00085] The sample results of the first experiment are shown in Fig. 1 and exhibit almost complete healing of the incision in the treated mouse in half the time it took to heal the incision in the untreated mouse. In addition, no infection was observed in the wounds of the treated mouse.

[00086] In the second experiment, the wounds were even contaminated by a culture of S. aureus bacterium to simulate acute infection situations in the skin when a culture was taken from the wound every day to examine the presence of bacteria (Fig. 2A). The results obtained showed that the incision was almost completely healed on the 10th day in the treated mouse (Fig. 2B). Moreover, on day 6, the culture test showed that there was no bacterial presence in the wound compared to the untreated mouse (Fig. 2C). [00087] Example 2 - preclinical experiment in porcine.

[00088] In the present experiment two domestic swine weighing ~20 kg each (simulating adult human skin in the best way) were used. 20 sites were drawn on the back of the pig (10 on each side; Fig. 3) and created wounds with the help of PUNCH BIOPSIES and immediately applying the ointment containing the active substance while examining different doses ratios between the molecules - Tp : tryptophol acetate ; Ty : Tyrosol acetate. According to Table 1 below.

[00089] Table 1 - different doses ratios between the molecules - Tp : tryptophol acetate ; Ty : Tyro sol acetate

[00090] The above treatments were applied until day 7, twice a day and followed the wound healing process until the 14th day when the animals were sacrificed.

[00091] The results are presented in Fig. 3, Fig.4 and Fig. 5.

[00092] The results indicate that on day 10, the wounds treated with Tp:Ty 1:1 2000 pM , Tp:Ty 3:7 2000 M and Tp:Ty 1:1 1000 pM were almost healed relative to the negative control and antibiotic groups (Fig. 4). The changes in the area of the wounds were monitored during the experiment and measured on days 1, 2, 4, and 10 (Fig. 5). The observed decrease in the wound area of Tp:Ty 1:1 1000 pM and Tp:Ty 3:7 1000 pM treatments indicating faster healing that were significant compared to that obtained for the negative and positive control. Overall, when the treatment with the creams used in ratio of 1:1 and with total concentration of 1000 pM it was found to accelerate the healing process better than antibiotics (syntomycin 3%) or the vehicle.

Example 3 - A unique topical mixture for the treatment of skin lesions based on molecules isolated from probiotic microorganisms in fermented milk. [00093] The aim of this example is to examine the topical ointment comprising tryptophol acetate and Tyrosol acetate in three different concentrations (of both molecules together) - 1000, 2000 and 4000 pM for local treatment of patients with acute fissures.

[00094] The results of the trial are examined in two stages:

[00095] Step 1 - The safety of using the ointment and maximum concentration will is assessed while examining the effect and side effects through telephone questionnaires and doctor examinations. A total of 12 patients with an acute crack in the anus are recruited at this stage. The patients are divided into 3 groups of 4 patients in each group and receive the ointment in three different concentrations. The goal is to examine the side effects and maximally tolerated dose.

[00096] Stage 2 is performed after the completion of Phase 1 and assuming no significant side effects are detected. At this stage, the initial effectiveness of the ointment is assessed by continuous monitoring of the patients who are treated with the ointment in addition to the standard treatment accepted in the medical protocol. The number of patients with anal fissure required for this stage is 51. Of these, 17 are in the control group and 34 in the intervention group (2:1 ratio).

[00097] A total of 63 patients are recruited, of whom 12 are for the first phase and 51 for the second phase.

[00098] Methods -

[00099] Two groups are included in the experiment:

[000100] Group 1 - Control Patients with an acute fissure in the anus who receive the recommended standard of care.

[000101] Group 2 - Intervention of patients with an acute crack in the anus who receive the recommended standard treatment such as the control group and application of the tested topical mixture.

[000102] Method of treatment:

[000103] The participant is receiving a syringe with a 20 ml cream containing a mixture of the two molecules in a dose to be determined in step 1. The cream is manufactured in a pharmaceutical preparation by a GPP approved pharmacy (Good Production Practices) or GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices). This treatment is given in addition to the recommended treatment, which is the application of enterolin cream twice a day in both study groups. The time of ointments application is separated by at least one hour from each other.

[000104] The duration of treatment: Three times a day for 10 days.

[000105] The examination of statistical significance:

[000106] The sample size for phase 2 is calculated in the WINPEP software, according to an expected difference of 2 units in the degree of suffering and pain at the control point with a standard deviation of 2, a significance of 5%, and a power of 80%, with a ratio of 2:1 between the groups. The minimum sample size is determined to be 36 subjects, of which 24 are in the intervention group and 12 are in the control group (36 in total).

[000107] Safety Analysis:

[000108] The side effects are recorded in an Excel table and monitored in real time, in addition, the side effects are summarized according to the relationship to the treatment and according to the severity of the phenomenon.
