Problems solved by technology

As an example, a disturbing trend in the treatment of superficial infections is increasing antibiotic resistance among staphylococcal isolates, resulting from current antibiotic pressure.
Conventional antibacterial treatments for wound infection are becoming less effective not only due to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains but also due to the avascular nature of extensive wounds.
The biofilm further impedes the activity of the host defenses and standard antibiotic therapy.
Together, these confounding factors impede the effect of systemically administered antibiotics (Costerton et al., 2001).
However, despite the wide spread therapeutic promise of gaseous NO (gNO), a practical gNO delivery system for most potential applications has yet to emerge.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]The present invention provides compositions for releasing nitric oxide (NO) comprising a matrix that encapsulates nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is released when the composition is exposed to an aqueous environment. As used herein, aqueous environments include moist environments, including for example, the surface of the skin.

[0022]A preferred composition for releasing nitric oxide (NO) comprises nitric oxide encapsulated in a matrix of chitosan, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and tetra-methoxy-ortho-silicate (TMOS). Another preferred composition for releasing nitric oxide (NO) comprises nitric oxide encapsulated in a matrix of trehalose, and non-reducing sugar or starch. The composition can further comprises nitrite, reducing sugar, and / or chitosan. Nitric oxide is released when the composition is exposed to an aqueous environment. For example, one preferred composition for releasing nitric oxide (NO) comprises nitrite; reducing sugar; chitosan; polyethylene glycol (PEG); tetra-metho...

Abstract

The invention provides compositions for releasing nitric oxide (NO) comprising a matrix that encapsulates nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is released when the composition is exposed to an aqueous environment. The invention further provides methods of preparing the compositions and uses of the compositions for treating infections and disorders.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 815,481, filed Jun. 21, 2006, the content of which is incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Nitric oxide (NO) plays a central role in a number of biological processes such as infection, vasodilation, angiogenesis, and modulation of wound healing (Fang, 1999; Frank et al., 2002; Liew et al., 1991; Rizk et al., 2004; Weller et al., 2001). As an example, a disturbing trend in the treatment of superficial infections is increasing antibiotic resistance among staphylococcal isolates, resulting from current antibiotic pressure. Today, less than 5% of clinical isolates remain sensitive to penicillin (Smith et al., 1999). In the 1980s, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) emerged as a prominent hospital-based infection stimulating an increase in the use of vancomycin. A 1997 survey by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) showed that the proportion ...
