STABLE SOLUTIONS OF PEPTIDE COPPER COMPLEXES AND COSMETIC AND PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS PRODUCED THEREFROM

摘要

Compositions are formed by adding at least one amino acid to an aqueous solution of at least one peptide copper complex, and disclosed methods impart to solutions of peptide copper complexes, chemical stability and resistance to precipitation of the complexes through the addition of at least one of certain amino acids thereto. Also disclosed are compositions comprising at least one peptide copper complex and at least one of certain amino acids, as well as compositions further comprising one or more preservatives to provide thereto resistance to microbial attack and toxicity to microbes. Medical devices, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics comprising such compositions are also disclosed.
