1. A topical gel composition comprising ingenol-3-angelate, wherein the composition provides greater flux, according to the in vitro diffusion test, of ingenol-3-angelate into the stratum corneum, epidermis and dermis after application of the gel composition to skin than does a reference gel of ingenol-3-angelate,
wherein the reference gel (a) has the same strength of ingenol-3-angelate as the topical gel composition, (b) consists essentially of ingenol-3-angelate, benzyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol in an amount of 30% by weight of the formulation, hydroxyethyl cellulose in an amount of 1.5% by weight of the formulation and citrate buffer solution in an amount of 67.55% by weight of the formulation, and (c) is prepared by mixing ingenol-3-angelate with benzyl alcohol, and then adding the remaining components to the mixture of ingenol-3-angelate and benzyl alcohol in the order of: isopropyl alcohol, a citrate buffer solution formed from citric acid in an amount of 0.56% by weight of the formulation, sodium citrate dihydrate in an amount of 0.14% by weight of the formulation and water in an amount of 66.85% by weight of the formulation, and then hydroxyethyl cellulose to form the reference gel. |
