摘要 |
The present invention relates to osmolyte-containing preparations for the local treatment of dry mucous membranes. It describes the use of osmolytes for the production of a medicament, medical product or cosmetic product for the prevention, therapy and/or care of dry mucous membranes. The present invention relates to topical compositions based on osmolytes to which sodium chloride and/or moisturizers can optionally be added. The group of osmolytes proposed by the invention embraces various low-molecular substances, in particular ectoine, homoectoine, hydroxyectoine, di-myo-inositol phosphate (DIP), cyclic 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (cDPG), 1,1-di-glycerol phosphate (DGP), β-mannosylglycerate (Firoin), β-mannosylglyceramide (Firoin-A), di-mannosyl di-inositol phosphate (DMIP), glucosylglycerol and/or a derivative, e.g. an acid, salt or ester, of these compounds. |

1. A method for prophylactic and/or curative topical treatment of dry nasal mucous membranes comprising applying a preparation comprising at least one osmolyte to said membranes,
characterized in that the osmolyte is 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (ectoine), 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2-methyl-1H-[1,3]-diazepine-4-S-carboxylic acid (homoectoine), S,S-β-hydroxy-1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-methyl-pyrimidine-4-carboxylic acid (hydroxyectoine), di-myo-inositol phosphate (DIP), cyclic 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (cDPG), 1,1-di-glycerol phosphate (DGP), β-mannosylglycerate (firoin), β-mannosylglyceramide (firoin-A), di-mannosyl-di-inositol phosphate (DMIP), glucosylglycerol and/or an acid, salt or ester, of said compounds. |
