Methods and compositions for treating dermatological diseases and conditions

Abstract

The presently claimed and disclosed inventive concept(s) contemplates compositions comprising compounds, in particular dihydroeugenol (DHE) and/or isoeugenol (IE) and/or ethyl vanillin (EV) or salts, esters, ethers, or derivatives thereof, and methods for topically or systemically delivering them for treatment against inflammation-related and other dermatological conditions such as described herein. These DHE and/or IE and/or EV or salts, esters, ethers or derivatives thereof also are delivered to a measurable extent transepidermally or transdermally. In one of its method aspects, this presently claimed and disclosed inventive concept(s) is directed to a method for treating a patient with a dermatological disease or condition by topically administering to said patient a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition comprising a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable topical carrier and an effective dermatological disease, disorder or condition-treating amount of a formulation of DHE and/or IE and/or EV, or salts, esters, ethers, or derivatives thereof. In particular, the presently claimed and disclosed inventive concept(s) is directed to a method of using a composition comprising one or more of DHE and/or IE and/or EV or salts, esters, ethers, or derivatives for treating dermatologic diseases, disorders or conditions, aging effects related to decreasing production of collagen, elastin, or hyaluronic acid, or to hyperpigmentation. The formulations may further contain cinnamaldehyde.
