Definitions

  • This invention relates to devices incorporating antimicrobial compositions for simultaneously detecting diabetes while providing antimicrobial activity.
  • the human foot encased in a shoe provides an almost ideal environment for microbial colonization, which contributes to both foot odor and infections.
  • Bacteria and fungi can grow on the skin surface of the foot, supported by the humid, warm microenvironment of a foot in a sock and shoe.
  • feet are prone to injuries affecting the skin surface, permitting aggressive colonization of opportunistic pathogens.
  • Systemic conditions, including diabetes mellitus or related metabolic diseases can lead to exacerbation of foot colonization and infection, and in turn, the potential consequences of colonization by fungi or bacteria are generally far more serious in people with diabetes or immunosuppresion than without.
  • Increased nutrient content in perspiration is one factor in diabetes contributing to increased susceptibility to colonization and infection, and impaired wound healing and sensation in the extremities increase the risk of serious consequences, such as chronic infected diabetic foot ulcers that can lead to amputations if infections are allowed to penetrate beneath the skin surface.
  • Immunosuppression (whether caused by infections such as HIV or by immunosuppressive treatments for autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, or for organ transplants) can also exacerbate microbial colonization of the feet and its consequences. Even in people without diabetes or immunosuppression, foot colonization by bacteria or fungi can lead to conditions of chronic discomfort and itching, including tinea pedis (athlete's foot) as well as foot odor.
  • the principal cause of foot odor is production of bacterial degradation products of nutrients present in foot perspiration, especially plantar sweat.
  • Isovaleric acid for example, is produced by the action of bacterial leucine dehydrogenase on the amino acid leucine in perspiration.
  • ammonia produced by deamination of leucine and other amino acids, increases the pH of skin to levels more favorable for colonization by various microbes and dermatophytes.
  • platar sweat can further increase the spread of infection and co-infection by compromising cutaneous integrity.
  • Plantar sweat furthermore provides a medium for distributing and sustaining microorganisms across and within the shoe environment (insole, sole, and sock).
  • Tinea pedis a chronic fungal foot infection
  • the dominant causal flora are dermatophytes including trichophyton rubrum (75% of tinea pedis infections), tricophyton mentagropytes, and epidermophyton floccosum.
  • Wet conditions in the setting of tinea pedis increases the incidence and severity of bacterial co-infection, and provides entry points for development of bacterial cellulites in the foot.
  • There is a high failure rate for topical antifungal treatments for tinea pedis in part due to poor compliance because of the requirement for relatively long courses of daily treatment.
  • What is needed is an easy to use, cost-effective, disposable device and method for detecting diabetes and prediabetes. Such devices and methods are especially needed in developing countries. Also what is needed is a device that can not only act as an indicator of diabetes, but also decrease the bacterial and fungal skin infections associated with diabetes. With these goals in mind, the inventor created devices to detect diabetes in a cost-effective manner and simultaneously impart antimicrobial activity.
  • the present invention is directed to an antimicrobial device for detecting diabetes.
  • One embodiment of the device comprises a sulfonated rayon fabric and sulfonated cotton fabric.

Reactive Blue 21, divalent copper, and divalent zinc, wherein the fabric layer undergoes a color change when the layer contacts a biological indicator of diabetes. The color change thereby provides an indicium of diabetes, while the layer simultaneously imparts antimicrobial activity and anti-odor activity.
  • the device comprises at least one layer of material comprising an antimicrobial composition.
  • the antimicrobial composition comprises one or more than one reactive dye and one or more divalent metallic salt or divalent metal ion.
  • the layer of material undergoes a color change when the layer contacts a biological indicator of diabetes, such that the color change provides an indicium of diabetes, while the layer simultaneously imparts antimicrobial activity and anti-odor activity.
  • the layer of material can be a cellulosic material such as rayon or cotton.
  • the reactive dye can be C.I. Reactive Blue 21 dye.
  • the one or more divalent metallic salt can comprise copper acetate or copper acetate and zinc acetate.

  • the device can further comprise an adhesive layer.
  • the device comprises a layer of material having an antimicrobial composition.
  • the antimicrobial composition comprising one or divalent copper salt or divalent copper ion and the layer of material undergoes a color change when the layer contacts a biological indicator of diabetes.

  • devices having a rayon fabric or a cotton fabric layer are disclosed herein.
  • the antimicrobial composition 14 comprises one or more than one reactive dye and one or more than one divalent metal ion or divalent metallic salt.
  • Reactive dyes are a class of substances used to dye fibers and fabrics, both cellulosic fibers and cellulosic fabrics (such as acetate, cotton and rayon), and non-cellulosic fibers and non-cellulosic fabrics (such as wool and nylon, and fabrics made from polyester or poly olefin).
  • Reactive dyes comprise a reactive linker group, usually either a haloheterocycle or an activated double bond that, when applied to a fiber in a dye bath, forms a covalent chemical bond with a hydroxyl group on the fiber or the fabric.
  • Reactive dyes are classified according to the category of linker group that attaches the dye to the fiber or fabric.
  • Reactive dyes further comprise a chromophore group, providing the specific color for the dye.
  • the chromophore group commonly comprises a multi-ring aromatic group; however, multi-ring aromatic groups tend to decrease water solubility, so reactive dyes usually further comprise one or more sulfonate groups to increase water solubility.
  • the sulfonate groups of reactive dyes can chemically bind pathogens, while the reactive linker groups of the reactive dyes bond to the layer of material of the present invention such as cellulosic fabrics.
  • a given dye frequently has several trade names, but the generic names (Color Index; CI) for dyes comprise the following format: [Category (acidic, basic, direct or reactive); Color; and Number].
  • metal phthalocyanine reactive dyes include CI Reactive Blue 4, CI Reactive Blue 21, CI Reactive Blue 140, CI Reactive Blue 163, CI Reactive Brown 23, CI Reactive Orange 4, CI Reactive Red 1, CI Reactive Red 2, CI Reactive Red 6, CI Reactive Red 11, CI Reactive Red 78, CI Reactive Yellow 39, and CI Reactive Yellow 86, each of which comprises sulfonate groups which function as an antimicrobial composition suitable for binding one or more than one pathogen according to the present invention, and each of which further comprises a linker group suitable for attaching the dye to the fabric.
  • the binding substance is CI Reactive Blue 21 [copper, (29H,31H - phthalocyaninato (2-)-N 29,N 30,N 31, N 32)-, sulfo((4-((2-(sulfooxy) ethyl) sulfonyl) phenyl) amino) sulfonyl derivatives] (CAS Reg. No. 73049-92-0), a sulfonated copper phthalocyanine dye with a vinyl sulfone linker group that attaches the dye to fibers and fabrics, including cellulosic fibers and fabrics.
  • an antimicrobial composition 14 comprising a sulfate group or a sulfonate group on a layer of material comprising cellulose is both relatively inexpensive and suitable for industrial-scale production of devices according to the present invention.
  • the antimicrobial composition 14 of the present invention further comprises one or more than one additional substance that decreases the pathogenic capacity of one or more than one human pathogen.
  • the one or more than one additional substance is one or more than one type of divalent metallic ion, such as for example divalent copper and divalent zinc, which are viricidal, bactericidal and fungicidal.
  • the antimicrobial composition comprises a divalent metallic salt, such as for example copper acetate and zinc acetate, which are bactericidal, viricidal and fungicidal.
  • Acetate is advantageous as an anionic salt constituent as it is volatile and can be removed from the fabric by evaporation.
  • the addition of the one or more than one substance to the antimicrobial layer 12 increases the effectiveness of the device of the present invention in decreasing the transmission of one or more than one pathogen by using mechanisms in addition to binding the pathogen to the fabric.
  • an important principle of action is that moisture from body (such as foot) perspiration, along with the mechanical action of the body (such as a foot) flexing against the device (such as an insole or patch) of the invention, leads to sustained release and distribution of small but active amounts of the biocidal metal ions copper and zinc, thereby inhibiting or killing bacteria and fungi resident on the skin and within the sock fabric and shoe.
  • Foot odors attributable to microorganisms in socks or on the feet are diminished by both direct biocidal activity of the metal ions against colonizing bacteria and fungi, and also through the direct inactivation of some odorant molecules by the metal phthalocyanine dye covalently linked to the cellulosic layer of the device.
  • Cupric ions under the right conditions can react with these biological indicators of diabetes, including but not limited to, reducing sugars, aldehydes and alpha-hydroxyketones.
  • the cupric ions undergo a color change reaction as the blue-green cupric ions are converted to red-brown cuprous ions and copper oxide.
  • constituents of the devices that impart antimicrobial activity in essence can also behave like a Benedict's Reagent, providing a color change, the rate and extent of which is proportional to the severity of diabetic dysregulation of glucose and related metabolites, including ketone bodies.
  • a device 10, such as the insole or patch of the present invention can be fabricated to provide a color change reflecting control of blood sugars. The color change is cumulative over time, reflecting average control over a period of time approximating the useful lifetime of the insole device. Diabetes features large variations in blood sugars throughout the day, so averaging over time provides a more useful index of overall glucose control than indices reflecting a short time period.
  • HbAlc glycosylated hemoglobin
  • a card or color comparison chart with colors depicting the determined color change effect of different levels of diabetic indicators in perspiration on the device color can be used to allow the user or a health care professional to assess the severity of diabetes or prediabetes, or by tracking color changes over time, the progression or remission of diabetes during treatment or lifestyle change.
  • This provides not only a diagnostic tool, but a noninvasive feedback system for encouraging compliance to lifestyle changes or treatment regimens that may affect the progression of diabetes.
  • Such feedback is particularly useful in type 2 diabetes, which can be asymptomatic even though irreversible complications may be developing over the course of a number of years.
  • a method for detecting diabetes can comprise the steps of providing any embodiment of the device according to the present invention, placing the device in proximity to the skin of a person such that a bodily fluid secreted from the skin can contact the antimicrobial layer of the device, and observing an amount of color change of the antimicrobial layer to determine an amount of biological indicators of diabetes in said bodily fluid and thereby determine the severity of diabetes of said person.
  • the method can also comprise the step of comparing the color of the device with color shades obtained by exposure of the device to known amounts of biological indicators of diabetes. A color comparison card or chart may be used for this purpose.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs qui réduisent le risque d'infection par activité antimicrobienne et détectent également le diabète et donnent des informations sur la progression ou la récupération du diabète au cours du temps.
