ABSTRACT:
CROSS-REFERENCE TO PRIORITY APPLICATION
This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 of FR-98/14211, filed Nov. 12, 1998, hereby expressly incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to treating, for example soothing or calming, a variety of skin afflictions/conditions by administering to a candidate individual in need of such treatment an effective amount of at least one 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide compound.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It is known to this art that humans are subject to adverse cutaneous challenges or stimuli which are characterized by a sensation of skin discomfort, tautness, itchiness, a sensation of burning or warmth on the skin, or red blotches.
Active agents for controlling these types of conditions/afflictions have long been sought by researchers in this art.
Although various active agents have already been proposed, a constant interest remains to develop alternatives providing improved skin-soothing/calmant or anti-inflammatory activity, in particular for treating minor skin afflictions/conditions, such as, for example, sensitive skin, skin discomfort, tautness of the skin, itchiness of the skin, swelling of the skin, red blotchy skin or a sensation of burning or warmth on the skin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, a major object of the present invention is the provision of improved regime/regimen for treating and alleviating the symptoms of a variety of objectionable skin afflictions/conditions, while at the same time avoiding any appreciable side effects.
Briefly, the present invention features treating the aforesaid skin conditions/afflictions with a skin-soothing, -calmant or anti-inflammatory effective amount of at least one 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide compound formulated into a physiologically acceptable medium therefor.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF BEST MODE AND SPECIFIC/PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
More particularly according to the present invention, by the expression “physiologically acceptable medium” is intended a medium (e.g., vehicle, diluent or carrier) which is compatible with the skin, the mucous membranes, the nails and the hair of a human subject (hereinafter, simply the skin and/or the scalp).
The compounds of the 2-amino-4-alkylaminopyrimidine 3-oxide family which are well suited for administration according to the invention have the general formula (I):
in which R
1
is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and Z is a hydrogen atom or a radical —OR
2
, wherein R
2
is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, as well as the acyl derivatives and acid addition salts thereof.
According to the invention, by the expression “alkyl radical” is intended a linear or branched acyclic radical originating via the removal of a hydrogen atom from the molecule of a hydrocarbon, such as, for example, a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl or eicosadecyl radical.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, R
1
is an alkyl radical having from 6 to 12 carbon atoms, such as, for example, a hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl, decyl, undecyl or dodecyl radical.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, R
2
is an alkyl radical having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, such as, for example, an ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl or hexyl radical.
