Antimicrobial, disinfecting, and wound healing compositions and methods for producing and using the same
The present invention relates to antimicrobial, disinfecting, and wound healing compositions and methods for producing and using the same. The compositions may comprise one or more of a peracid, a hydroperoxide, a bis(hydroperoxide), or an epoxide.
1. A composition comprising a keto alkyl peracid, and one or more of,
(i) about 715 mM or less of a hydroperoxide;
(ii) a bis(hydroperoxide) selected from the group consisting of 3,3-bis(hydroperoxy)butanoic acid and 3,3-bis(hydroperoxy)butaneperoxoic acid; or
(iii) an epoxide,
wherein the composition is an aqueous solution, and
wherein the composition is formulated in a form selected from the group consisting of a gel, a liquid, lotion, skin patch, irrigation gel and spray application granules.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises the keto alkyl peracid and the bis(hydroperoxide).
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises the keto alkyl peracid, the hydroperoxide, the bis(hydroperoxide), and the epoxide.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydroperoxide is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, barium peroxide, sodium carbonate peroxide, potassium superoxide, or a mixture thereof.
5. The composition of claim 4 , Wherein the hydroperoxide is hydrogen peroxide.
6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the keto alkyl peracid is an alpha-keto-alkyl peracid having the structure HOO—(C═O)(C═O)—R, wherein R is C 2 -C 20 alkyl.
7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein R is C 2 -C 10 alkyl.
8. The composition of claim 6 , wherein R is C 2 -C 8 alkyl.
9. The composition of claim 6 , wherein R is selected from the group consisting of ethyl, isopropyl, propyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl and a combination thereof.
10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the keto alkyl peracid is the peracid of acetoacetic acid.
11. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises from about 0.35 mM to about 715 mM of the hydroperoxide.
