CAPSULE COMPRISING A PROBIOTIC MICROORGANISM FOR USE IN A COMPOSITION PRODUCTION AND DISTRIBUTION DEVICE
The invention relates to dermatology area and, more particularly, to the self-manufacturing of personalized cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions, notably for use in the treatment of dermatological skin diseases or disorders. The invention further relates to capsules containing active ingredients improving the skin microbiome balance, to be mixed with at least a physiologically acceptable carrier, for the extemporaneous preparation of personalized cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions.
The human body is host to a highly complex and rich microbial community. The human microbiome comprises over ten times more microbial cells than human cells. These microorganisms are generally harmless and contribute to a healthy state by producing notably vitamins, cooperating with digesting food, or stimulating the immune system. The human microbiota mainly resides on the surface and in deep layers of skin, in the saliva and oral mucosa, in the conjunctiva, and in the gastrointestinal tract.
It has been demonstrated, primarily in the gut, that human microbiota has fundamental roles in human health and diseases. The skin is colonized by many microorganisms, most of them are beneficial or harmless.
However, the skin microbiome has specific compositions in diseases states of skin that are different compared to healthy skin. Diseases such as acne vulgaris are associated with strong alterations and deregulations of the microbiome.
Thus, to modulate the microbiome and more particularly the skin microbiome, different approaches have been developed.
One preferred approach consists in developing antibiotic-free, healthy and environment-friendly pharmaceutical compositions. Application WO16122889, notably discloses a method for modulating the abundance of a bacterial taxa in a human subject's microbiota. The method comprises administering to the human subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising prebiotics, such as a glycan therapeutic preparation, in an amount effective to modulate the abundance of the bacterial taxa.
Another approach, notably disclosed in application W016086208 consists in modulating the microbiome by directly administering to a human subject a probiotic composition comprising an isolated, anti-inflammatory bacterial population, such that inflammation in the subject is reduced.
However, the preparation of cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising prebiotics or probiotic microorganisms leads to new formulation problems, notably in terms of stability from the physical and chemical point of view. It is also a challenge to maintain the probiotic microorganism’s concentration under control in these cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions.
Moreover, an additional problem with cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising probiotic microorganisms is that they generally present a short shelf life.
In this context, the Applicant proposes to develop alternative ways to produce and deliver extemporaneous cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more probiotic microorganisms. These compositions are preferably used topically, for the prevention and/or treatment of dermatological skin diseases or disorders, such as for example acne, creasing, eczema, erythema in particular erythema of rosacea, erythema of acne or acute erythema, flushing, non-rosacea-related inflammations of skin, psoriasis, purpura, rosacea, skin sagging, telangiectasia, and/or skin-ageing, or a symptom associated therewith.
In particular, such personalized compositions comprising probiotic microorganisms significantly reduce the duration of treatment and allow obtaining a greater reduction in symptoms of skin diseases. Furthermore, the extemporaneous cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention provide a certain advantage in terms of efficacy and tolerance allowing either to increase the therapeutic effect for similar doses, or to maintain the same therapeutic effect while decreasing doses.
Consequently, in one general aspect, embodiments of the present invention relates to a capsule for use in a composition production and distribution device, the capsule containing at least a probiotic microorganism for extemporaneously producing a personalized cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition, notably by mixing said probiotic microorganism with at least a physiologically acceptable carrier.
Surprisingly, by using capsules according to the invention, the Applicant has developed a way lo produce and distribute a personalized and ready-to-use cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition, that is notably stable from the physical and chemical point of view, when administered to a subject or when applied on the subject’s skin.
The present invention further relates to a system intended to produce and to distribute a composition, said system comprising:
- at least one capsule according to the invention,
- at least a container comprising a physiologically acceptable carrier, and
- a composition production and distribution device, wherein the device comprises means for mixing the content of the capsule with the content of the container and means for extemporaneously producing and delivering a personalized cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition.
The present invention also relates to a method for delivering a cosmetic composition from a production and distribution device, said method comprising the steps of:
- mixing the content of the capsule according to the invention with the content of al least a container comprising a physiologically acceptable carrier, and
- producing and delivering said cosmetic composition.
The invention is more detailed in the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and combinations thereof.
Even more preferably, the probiotic microorganism useful for the present invention is Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC 533 (deposit number CNCM 1-1225).
Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) was deposited, according to the Treaty of Budapest, at the Collection Nationale de Cultures de Microorganismes (CNCM) [National Collection of Microorganism Cultures], Institut Pasteur, 28 rue du Docteur Roux, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, France, on June 30, 1992, under the reference CNCM 1-1225.
Preferably, the probiotic microorganism according to the invention is a non-lransformed probiotic microorganism, i.e. a natural, not genetically modified, non-pathogenic and non-invasive microorganism of the human microbiome, preferably of the skin microbiome of the healthy (nondiseased) human.
Ί
The probiotic microorganism can be used in a viable, semi-inactivated or inactivated form but preferably in an inactivated form also known as a non-replicating form. In particular, the probiotic microorganism is used in a non-replicating form, for instance thanks to a heat treatment.
The inactivated microorganisms may have intact or ruptured cell membranes. As such, the term “inactivated” also denotes the microorganism extracts and lysates comprising fractions and/or metabolites.
In the following, Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225), in particular nonreplicating Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225), for example heat treated Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM i-1225) will be named NMR LAI.
“Non-replicating” probiotic microorganisms and especially Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 can be inactivated, dead, or non-viable.
Probiotic microorganisms and especially Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM I1225) may be used at least partially non-replicating.
Non-replicating form, in particular heat treated microorganisms such as Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) has the advantage of being even more effective than their live counterpart. The use of non-replicating microorganisms, such as heat-treated probiotic microorganisms such as Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) instead of their live counterparts, has further the advantages of:
- reducing the potential risk of live probiotic-associated sepsis in the sensitive targeted populations,
- representing a safe alternative to immunocompromised patients.
Furthermore, thanks to lower processing hurdles, the non-replicating microorganism can be integrated in shelf stable liquid products with a long shelf life.
Heat inactivation may occur at least about 70°C and any kind of heat treatment can be used to inactivate the probiotic microorganisms such as Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 11225). For example, the probiotic microorganisms such as Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) may be rendered non-replicating at 110°C to 140°C for 1-30 seconds, e.g. 10-20 seconds.
Hence, in one embodiment of the present invention, at least 90%, for example at least 95% preferably at least 98%, most preferably at least 99%, ideally at least 99.9%, or all of the probiotic microorganism such as Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) are non-replicating.
It is known from the literature that probiotic microorganisms such as Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225), in particular non-replicating forms, for example heat treated Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225), have shown superior effects on the induction of antimicrobial peptide expression than those previously identified and described in the previous literature.
The patent application WO 2010/130662 from Nestec describes that Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) strongly induces the constitutive hBDl expression, and that heattreated Lactobacillus johnsonii LAI NCC533 (CNCM 1-1225) up-regulates hBDl more strongly than its live counterpart.
The probiotic microorganisms to be extracted, that are localized in the chamber 5 of the capsule 1 are preferably in a dry form. They are obtained via conventional methods such as spray drying; lyophilization followed by milling to micronize the powder; atomization onto a cold surface, followed by sublimation and collection of the micronized powder; evaporative drying of a non-frozen solution in a vacuum oven or centrifugal evaporator at temperatures from about-20° to 500°C, followed by milling to desirable particle size. The resultant powder particles are glassy or crystalline internally with a majority of the glassy materials coating on the surface. The advantage of coating the probiotic microorganisms with glassy materials is to increase physical stability of the product and reduction of deleterious inlermolecular reactions within the particle.
In a preferred embodiment, the frozen particles is loaded on trays and immediately transferred to a vacuum drying chamber where the drying process proceeds in three major steps including:
(1) an optional, short purging and structure stabilizing step of the frozen particles under a vacuum pressure of less than 2000 mTORR, (2) primary drying step under vacuum pressure of more than 2000 mTORR and at a temperature from about-20° to 500°C, and (3) secondary and final drying step of the glassy amorphous material under full vacuum pressure and elevated temperature for a time sufficient to reduce the water activity of the dried formulation to 0.3 Aw or less.
The dried and stable probiotic microorganisms can be used directly as a flake, or ground into a powder.
In a preferred embodiment, the probiotic microorganisms are in the form of small dry particles, and with at least 90% dry matter per gram, preferably at least 93% dry matter per gram. The dry particles are preferably substantially regular and identical.
Preferably, the personalized cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition according to the invention further comprises a prebiotic.
Thus, before the production and distribution of the personalized cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical composition, the prebiotic can be present directly in the capsule according to the invention, in the physiologically acceptable carrier, or in a second, separate capsule, preferably in a second separate capsule.
By “prebiotic”, it is referred to a selectively fermented ingredient that allows specific changes, both in the composition and/or activity in the microflora that confers benefits upon skin’s host well9 being. Prebiotics can be administered orally or topically and can promote the growth of desirable microorganisms (probiotic) and thus improving their benefits to the host.
Particularly, the prebiotic of the invention is selected from among from among complex carbohydrates, complex sugars, guar gum, beta-glucans, biotin, cellulose, chitin, chitosan, dextrins, fructans, fructooligosaccharide (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), glucomannan oligosaccharide, gluco-oligosaccharides, hemi-celluloses, high amylose corn starch (HAS), inulin, isomaltooligosaccharide, lactosucrose, lactulose, lignin, mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), neosugar, oligodextrose, oligofructose, oligofructose-enriched inulin, oligosaccharides, palatinose, pectin, polydextrose, psyllium, raffinose, sorbitol, soy oligosaccharide, starch, tagatose, transgalactooligosaccharide, xylitol and xylooligosaccharides (XOS), and combinations thereof.
Preferably, the prebiotic is selected from among fructooligosaccharide (FOS), galactooligosaccharide, glucomannan oligosaccharide, inulin, isomalto-oligosaccharide, lactosucrose, lactulose, neosugar, palatinose, raffinose, sorbitol, soy oligosaccharide, xylitol and xylooligosaccharide, preferably the prebiotic is a glucomannan oligosaccharide.
Preferably, the capsule for extemporaneously producing and delivering a personalized pharmaceutical composition according to the invention, can be used in the treatment and/or prevention of a skin disease in a subject. The delivered personalized pharmaceutical composition can be topically administered to a skin area of the subject, wherein the skin area is, or is prone to be, affected by the skin disease.
As disclosed herein, the term “treatment” or “treating” refers to an amelioration, prophylaxis, or reversal of the skin disease or related dermatological disorder, or of at least one discernible symptom thereof. This also refers to an amelioration, prophylaxis, or reversal of at least one measurable physical parameter related to the skin disease or disorder being treated, which is not necessarily discernible in or by the subject, in yet another embodiment, “treatment” or “treating” refers to inhibiting or slowing the progression of a disease or disorder, either physically, e.g., stabilization of a discernible symptom; physiologically, e.g., stabilization of a physical parameter, or both. “Treatment” or “treating” further refers to delaying the onset of a disease or disorder, for example, by lessening or delaying the onset of the redness of the skin affected by the erythema or the symptom. In some embodiments, compounds of interest are administered as a preventive measure.
