Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel compounds and compositions useful in providing a perceived sensation of warmth.
  • compositions comprising one or more phos ⁇ phate derivatives, and carrier materials wherein the compositions are in a form suitable for oral or topical administration.
  • These compositions preferably contain a safe and effective amount of one or more active materials such as those which provide nutritional, therapeutic, antimicrobial, pharmaceutical, medicinal, and/or aesthetic benefit, and those commonly used in health care products.
  • a wide variety of flavor, coolant and sweetening agents are used in consumer and health care products today.
  • Aesthetic qualities of these compositions such as taste, smell, mouthfeel, and after-taste are important concerns for consumer accept ⁇ ability. Products with poor flavor, a bad after-taste or other negative aesthetics may limit consumer acceptability initially or over an extended period of time, thereby limiting consumer usage and compliance with treatment regimens.
  • An additional aspect of consumer acceptability and compliance is the con- sumer's perception of efficacy. Consumer satisfaction with a product is likely to be increased if some type of sensory signal exists to remind the consumer that the product is working after ingestion, topical administration or expectoration.
  • certain phosphate derivatives comprising a warming component may be inco ⁇ orated into consumer or health care compositions to improve the perceived efficacy of such compositions and/or deliver pleasing aesthet ⁇ ics and high consumer acceptability. It has also been discovered that these composi ⁇ tions for oral or topical administration may be formulated to further include a safe and effective amount of one or more pharmaceutical actives. These compositions provide sustained warming activity. These phosphate derivatives also serve in providing a sensory signal to the user.
  • the present invention relates to a compound having the formula:
  • R is a warming component; wherein R' and R" are independently selected from the group consist ⁇ ing of R, an adherent component, M 4" , M “ “ , M 4"4 " C + , and hydro ⁇ gen; wherein X, X 1 , X" are independently selected from the group consist ⁇ ing of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfiir; wherein n is an integer from 1 to 3.
  • the present invention further relates to oral or topical compositions contain ⁇ ing these compounds.
  • the phosphate derivatives of the present invention may be formulated by phosphorylating at least one warming component. These compounds also include linking at least one warming component to an adherent component via a phosphate bridge. In addition, pyrophosphate and triphosphate groupings may be substituted for the phosphate group. A warming component may also be linked to phosphorous via two functional groups or attachment sites. Furthermore, the phosphate deriva ⁇ tives described above may be bound via Coulombic interaction with charged com- pounds or materials, including polymers.
  • compositions containing these compounds may deliver the desired warming qualities through the action of the phosphate derivative itself. These compositions may also provide a sustained or delayed effect since release ofthe warming compo ⁇ nent from the molecule does not occur until cleavage of the phosphate from the warming agent by phosphatase enzymes. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that this sustained or delayed release profile provides improved actual and/or perceived efficacy.
  • the phosphatase enzymes may include, but are not limited to, acidic, basic, or pyro-phosphatases.

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to novel compounds and compositions useful in providing a perceived sensation of warmth.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compositions comprising one or more phos¬ phate derivatives, and carrier materials wherein the compositions are in a form suitable for oral or topical administration. These compositions preferably contain a safe and effective amount of one or more active materials such as those which provide nutritional, therapeutic, antimicrobial, pharmaceutical, medicinal, and/or aesthetic benefit, and those commonly used in health care products.
A wide variety of flavor, coolant and sweetening agents are used in consumer and health care products today. Aesthetic qualities of these compositions such as taste, smell, mouthfeel, and after-taste are important concerns for consumer accept¬ ability. Products with poor flavor, a bad after-taste or other negative aesthetics may limit consumer acceptability initially or over an extended period of time, thereby limiting consumer usage and compliance with treatment regimens.
An additional aspect of consumer acceptability and compliance is the con- sumer's perception of efficacy. Consumer satisfaction with a product is likely to be increased if some type of sensory signal exists to remind the consumer that the product is working after ingestion, topical administration or expectoration.
It has been discovered that certain phosphate derivatives comprising a warming component may be incoφorated into consumer or health care compositions to improve the perceived efficacy of such compositions and/or deliver pleasing aesthet¬ ics and high consumer acceptability. It has also been discovered that these composi¬ tions for oral or topical administration may be formulated to further include a safe and effective amount of one or more pharmaceutical actives. These compositions provide sustained warming activity. These phosphate derivatives also serve in providing a sensory signal to the user.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide warming com¬ pounds and compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the consumer. It is also an object of the present invention to provide compositions which provide a sensory signal to the user, and contain a safe and effective amount of one or more actives. These and other objects will become readily apparent from the disclosure which follows. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a compound having the formula:
wherein R is a warming component; wherein R' and R" are independently selected from the group consist¬ ing of R, an adherent component, M4", M " ", M4"4 " C+, and hydro¬ gen; wherein X, X1, X" are independently selected from the group consist¬ ing of oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfiir; wherein n is an integer from 1 to 3.
The present invention further relates to oral or topical compositions contain¬ ing these compounds.
All levels, ratios and percentages are by weight of the total composition, unless otherwise indicated. Additionally, all measurements are made at 25°C unless otherwise specified.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Phosphate Derivatives
The phosphate derivatives of the present invention may be formulated by phosphorylating at least one warming component. These compounds also include linking at least one warming component to an adherent component via a phosphate bridge. In addition, pyrophosphate and triphosphate groupings may be substituted for the phosphate group. A warming component may also be linked to phosphorous via two functional groups or attachment sites. Furthermore, the phosphate deriva¬ tives described above may be bound via Coulombic interaction with charged com- pounds or materials, including polymers.
Compositions containing these compounds may deliver the desired warming qualities through the action of the phosphate derivative itself. These compositions may also provide a sustained or delayed effect since release ofthe warming compo¬ nent from the molecule does not occur until cleavage of the phosphate from the warming agent by phosphatase enzymes. Without being limited by theory, it is believed that this sustained or delayed release profile provides improved actual and/or perceived efficacy. The phosphatase enzymes may include, but are not limited to, acidic, basic, or pyro-phosphatases.

The compositions in which the aforedescribed warming compound find application are many and varied. These compositions include those for consumption by or application to the human body. Broadly speaking, these compositions can be divided into comestible and topical compositions, both terms being taken in their broadest possible sense. Thus comestible is to be taken as including not only food¬ stuffs and beverages taken into the mouth and swallowed, but also other orally ingested compositions taken for reasons other than their nutritional value, e.g., ingestion tablets, antacid preparations, laxatives etc. Comestible compositions also include edible compositions taken by mouth, but not necessarily swallowed, e.g. chewing gum. Topical compositions include not only compositions such as per¬ fumes, powders and other toiletries, lotions, liniments, oils and ointments applied to the external surfaces of the human body, whether for medical or other reasons, but also compositions applied to, or which, in normal usage, come in contact with internal mucous membranes ofthe body, such as those ofthe nose, mouth, or throat, whether by direct or indirect application or inhalation, and thus include nasal and throat sprays, dentifrice, mouthwash and gargle compositions. Also included within the present invention are toilet articles such as cleansing tissues and toothpicks impregnated or coated with the active warming compound. In formulating the compositions of this invention, one or more warming compounds will usually be incoφorated into a carrier which may be completely inert or which may be or contain other active ingredients. A wide variety of carriers will be suitable, dependent upon the end use of the composition, such carriers including solids, liquids, emulsions, foams and gels. Typical carriers for the warming com- pounds include aqueous or alcoholic solutions; oils and fats such as hydrocarbon oils, fatty acid esters, long chain alcohols and silicone oils; finely divided solids such as starch or talc; cellulosic materials such as paper tissue; low-boiling hydrocarbons and halohydrocarbons used as aerosol propellants; gums and natural or synthetic resins.
The following illustrate the range of compositions into which the warming compounds can be incoφorated:
1. Edible or potable compositions including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, confectionery, frostings, chewing gum, cachous, jellies.
2. Toiletries including after shave lotions, shaving soaps, creams and foams, toilet water, deodorants and antiperspirants, "solid colognes", toilet soaps, bath oils and salts, shampoos, hair oils, talcum powders, face creams, hand creams, sunburn lotions, cleansing tissues, dentifrices, toothpicks, dental floss, toothbrushes, mouthwashes, hair tonics, denture adhesives.
3. Medicaments including antiseptic ointments, liniments, lotions, decon- gestants, counter-irritants, cough mixtures, throat lozenges, antacid and indigestion preparations, oral analgesics. Particular preparations according to the invention are discussed in more detail below.
Edible and Potable Compositions: The edible and potable compositions of this invention will contain the warm¬ ing compound in combination with an edible carrier and usuaUy a flavoring or color¬ ing agent. The particular effect of the warming compound is to create a warm sensation in the mouth, and in some cases even in the stomach, and therefore the compositions find particular utility in sugar-based confectionery such as hot choco¬ lates, boiled sweets and candy, jellies and in chewing gum. The formulation of such confections will be by ordinary techniques and according to conventional recipes and as such forms no part of this invention. The warming compound will be added to the final composition at a convenient point and in amount sufficient to produce the desired warming effect in the final product. As already indicated, the amount will vary depending upon the particular composition, the degree of warming effect desired and the strength of other flavorants in the composition. Similar considerations apply to the formulation of beverages. Generally speaking the compositions will find most utility in carbonated or noncarbonated soft drinks, but may also be used in alcoholic beverages. Toiletries:
Because ofthe warming sensation imparted to the skin, a major utility ofthe warming compounds will be in a wide range of toilet preparations and toilet articles. The particular preparations discussed below are to be taken as exemplary.
A major utility will be in after shave lotions, toilet water etc., where the compounds will be used in alcoholic or aqueous alcoholic solution, such solutions usually also containing a perfume or mild antiseptic or both. Another field of utility will be in soaps, shampoos, bath oils etc. where the compositions will be used in combination with an oil or fat or a natural or synthetic surfactant e.g., a fatty acid salt or a lauroylsulphate salt, the composition usually also containing an essential oil or perfume. The range of soap compositions will include soaps of all kinds, e.g., toilet soaps, shaving soaps, shaving foams etc. A further class of toilet compositions into which the compositions may be incoφorated includes cosmetic creams and emollients, such creams and emollients usually comprising a base emulsion and optionally a range of ingredients such as wax, preservative, perfume, antiseptics, astringents, pigments etc. Also included within this class are lipstick compositions, such compositions usually comprising an oil and wax base into which the warming compound can be incoφorated along with the conventional ingredients, i.e., pigments, perfumes etc. Once again the formulation of such compositions is conventional.
Compositions for oral hygiene containing the warming compound include mouthwash and dentifrice compositions and are preferred compositions. The first will usually comprise an aqueous, alcoholic, or aqueous-alcoholic solution of an antiseptic often colored or flavored for palatability in an amount of from 0.001% to 1.0% by weight. Dentifrice compositions may be of the powder, paste or liquid type and will usually comprise a finely divided abrasive or polishing material, e.g., precipitated chalk, silica, magnesium silicate, aluminum hydroxide or other similar materials well known in the art, and a detergent or foaming agent. Optional ingredients which may also be included are flavoring agents and colorants, antiseptics, lubricants, thickeners, emulsifiers or plasticizers.

EXAMPLE I Preparation of Vanillyl Alcohol n-Butyl Ether Monophosphate (TKKMP)
In a 250 ml, 3-necked round bottomed flask having a mechanical stirrer, two addition funnels, and an argon inlet, 5 g of TKIOOO is added to 20 mL of ether. The flask is immersed in an ice/water bath while the contents are stirred. Next, Phospho¬ rus oxychloride (4.4 ml) and triethylamine (3.6 ml), each diluted with 10 mL of ether, are introduced simultaneously and dropwise by means ofthe addition funnels over 10 minutes. The ice bath is removed and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours.
The mixture is then added to 50 ml of a chilled (under nitrogen) aqueous solution containing 19.7 g of sodium bicarbonate. The resulting solution is extracted with ether and acidified using 15.1 g of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The acidified solution is again extracted with ether dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Removal ofthe ether under reduced pressure leaves a pale yellow oil which partially solidifies when dried overnight under high vacuum. The partially solidified product can be further dried in a vacuum oven and purified by crystallization from an acetone/water mixture.
