QD SCHALI® heterocrystals and HPBCS, SBECD cyclodextrins

QD SCHALI®

QD SCHALI® photoactive hetero-crystals of bio compatible natural minerals of a certain class
Natural bio compatible metals and metalloids (e.g. minerals of titanium group and of silica group) are processed under newest exclusive SCHALI® technology into photosensitizing hetero-crystals QD (quantum dots) SCHALI® characterized for a specifically designed balance of inner and outer energetic bonds. In those hetero-crystals, highly reactive groups with unsaturated bonds – so called sites of local overheating - are formed on broken intermolecular connections (deformed crystalline lattice, disclination, curved fringes etc.). Those active groups are capable of building covalent and ionic bonds to environmental molecules, molecules of other compounds, also of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
QD SCHALI® made of titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide hetero-crystals in pharmaceuticals
  • Titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide hetero-crystals are photoactive agents that may induce contact energy exchange and are capable of triggering generation of active (singlet) oxygen– so they may be successfully applied in scope of photodynamic therapy (PDT) and hyperthermia: hetero-crystals affect selectively those biological targets which are responsible for life support in pathological cells.
  • Lower concentrations of titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide may be successfully used in treatment of metabolic disorders, particularly of incomplete oxidation conditions.
  • High sorption of titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide hetero-crystals enables intensification of therapeutic effect: so they may be effectively used for creation of complicated pharmaceutical complexes and targeted delivery.
Advantages of QD SCHALI®
  • High bio compatibility, no total toxicity, no local toxicity.
  • High sorption effect, i.e. ability of binding target molecules.
  • High catalytic reactivity, particularly high response to photochemical redox.

CYCLODEXTRINS

Cyclodextrins are enzyme-modified starch derivatives, plant materials

Three, most common natural cyclodextrins are built up from 6 - 7- and 8 glucose units. They are called alpha- and beta- and gamma-cyclodextrins. Cyclodextrins can be considered functionally as nano-sized molecular containers which can encapsulate different compounds that fit size-wise to their cavities, such as drugs, vitamins, flavors, colorants, fats, etc

The chemical modification of these natural cyclodextrins can lead to highly water-soluble cyclodextrin derivatives that can be used for making different formulations.

They can be used for making aqueous liquid formulations (eye drops, injections, infusions etc.) with poorly soluble drugs (eye drops, injections, infusions etc.) without co-solvents or detergents.

Two most important chemically modified cyclodextrins are the following:

  • 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HPBCD)
  • sulfobutylether-beta-cyclodextrin (SBECD) manufactured by CycloLab Ltd. tradename Dexolve ®

There are more than 50 different liquid pharmaceutical products currently on the market based on these two cyclodextrin derivatives.

The cyclodextrin enabled natural substances are in a molecularly encapsulated, activated form, at the possible lowest scale of micronization, nanonization. This complexed state of natural lipophiles results in:
  • improved chemical stability
  • reduced loss during storage (longer shelf-life)
  • reduced container-content interaction with packaging materials
  • enhanced aqueous wettability
  • improved water solubiility
  • higher dissolution rates
  • improved oral bioavailability enhanced therapeutic potency
Cyclodextrins are plant materials, enzyme-modified starches, therefore, are capable of affecting carbohydrate metabolism pathways

This effect is particularly occurring for consumption of gamma-CD and alpha-CD, which are known to provide advantageous effects on oral uses such. These CDs can decrease postprandial hyperglycemia, reduce blood glucose levels by positively affecting polysaccharide metabolism in vivo. This is why these cyclodextrins are termed also as „dietary fibers”. As CDs are efficient lipid complexing agents, their continuous consumption may result in balanced lipid status and reduced serum cholesterol levels, leading to amelioration of atherosclerotic events.

As an example, SCHALI®-D dietary supplements – a new approach of healthy nutrition for modern humans – contain dietary fibres of Alpha-cyclodextrin (α-CD) and Gamma-cyclodextrin (γ-CD), which depending on the indicative purpose encapsulate molecules of nutrients, microelements, and vitamins: curcumin, cinnamon, resveratrol, coenzyme Q10 etc.

FIELDS OF USE

  • HPBHydroxypropyl-betadex

    HPBCD containing hydrogel for topical administration for prevention of viral infection*

    HPBCD as antiviral agent:

    2-Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin is a chemically modified beta-cyclodextrin with excellent water solubility and lipid solubilization and complexation power. This cyclodextrin derivative has a very good safety profile both upon oral and parenteral administrations. As a drug solubilizing excipient, it has been used in human drug products for over two decades. Few years ago, HPBCD has been assigned as an Orphan Drug by both US-FDA and EMA regulatory agents for the treatment of Nieman-Pick Type C, rare disease.

    In our topical hydrogel products, HPBCD as an active ingredient is primarily utilized as a safe and efficient cell membrane lipids modifying agent. Since this cyclodextrin reversibly modifies and restores cell membrane lipid raft packings and lipid environment of membrane anchored glycoproteins, it disturbs and prevents viral infections against recipient cells. Membrane cholesterol plays an important role in replication of HIV-1 and other retroviruses. It was found that for instance the gammaretrovirus XMRV requires cholesterol and lipid rafts for infection and replication.

    Tyng et al (see literature reference above) demonstrated that treatment of XMRV with a low concentration 2- hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin partially depleted virion- associated cholesterol, which then resulted in complete inactivation of the virus. Therefore , the topical HPBCD containing hydrogels, can be considered and recommended as novel action efficient and zero side effect antiviral compositions.

    Feminine and Masculine Line of SCHALI® Care Personal Hygiene Products, where HPBCD is one of key active ingredients, is intended for antimicrobial and antitoxic protection, inducing mucosal regeneration, significantly improving cellular metabolism and promoting hormonal balance. SCHALI® Care products may be successfully used in prevention and treatment of numerous health conditions, supporting action of common therapeutic drugs and accelerating time of treatment.
