Anhydrous composition, stable to oxidation, based on anthralin or one of its derivatives, in a carrier consisting of a fatty acid alkyl ester and a thickener, and its use in the treatment of skin diseases

摘要

Anhydrous composition, stable to oxidation, of anthralin or a derivative thereof. This composition contains anthralin or a derivative thereof in a carrier composed of (i) at least one fatty acid alkyl ester, the fatty acid having 12 to 18 carbon atoms and the alkyl radical having 2 or 3 carbon atoms, and (ii) at least one thickener taken from the group made up of silicas having particle sizes less than 30 m mu and polyethylene powders having densities between 0.9 and 0.96 (g/cm3). This composition is used in the treatment of skin diseases, particularly psoriasis.
