US Patent:
6558694, May 6, 2003
Filed:
Feb 16, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/505618
Inventors:
Norman A. Brooks - Encino CA 91436
Leslee S. Brooks - Encino CA 91436
Leslee S. Brooks - Encino CA 91436
International Classification:
A61K 1300
US Classification:
424449, 424443, 424484, 424485, 424486, 424487, 424488, 424 7803, 424448
Abstract:
An improved method for the treatment of melanoma and skin diseases which utilizes a zinc chloride fixative mixture is provided. The active ingredients of the fixative mixture include zinc chloride (a deeply penetrating, tissue killing histologic preservative), and the anti-cancer plant alkaloids sanguinarine and chelerythrine. Zinc chloride allows the surgeon to perform a complete conventional surgical excision around and below a melanomatous tumor through painless, bloodless dead tissue, and because the microscopic structures are fixed in place by the zinc chloride, the excised tissue can be examined by a pathologist to confirm complete excision and clearance of the melanoma. Although zinc chloride fixative paste has been shown to be an effective treatment for human skin cancer and melanoma, this treatment has been overlooked by the medical community. The paste is difficult to maintain and complicated to apply to the affected skin. This invention allows the active ingredients of zinc chloride fixative paste to be effectively administered to the skin by providing single-use dose specific storage, application, dressing, and administration systems needed to facilitate the use of topical zinc chloride mixtures and/or zinc chloride pastes in the treatment of melanoma and other skin diseases.

Abstract:
An improved method for the treatment of melanoma and skin tumors which utilizes a zinc chloride composition is provided. The zinc chloride composition allows the surgeon to obtain hemostasis after a biopsy, and to incise or excise a melanomatous or other skin tumor through painless, bloodless, dead tissue. Because the microscopic structures are fixed in place by the zinc chloride, excised tissue can be examined microscopically by a pathologist. This invention allows the active ingredients of zinc chloride compositions to be effectively administered to the skin by providing single-use dose specific storage, application, dressing, and administration systems needed to facilitate the use of the topical zinc chloride mixtures. Enhanced zinc chloride mixture formulations including herbal taxoids are described.
