Therapeutic-wound healing compositions and methods for preparing and using same
First Claim
1. A therapeutic wound healing composition which comprises:
- (a) pyruvate selected from the group consisting of pyruvic acid, pharmaceutically acceptable salts of pyruvic acid, and mixtures thereof;
(b) an antioxidant; and
(c) a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids wherein the fatty acids are those fatty acids required for the resuscitation of injured mammalian cells;
wherein components a, b, and c are present in amounts sufficient to synergistically enhance wound healing.

Abstract
This invention pertains to therapeutic wound healing compositions for protecting and resuscitating mammalian cells. In one embodiment, the therapeutic wound healing composition comprises (a) pymvate, (b) an antioxidant, and (c) a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. In another embodiment, the therapeutic wound healing composition comprises (a) pyruvate, (b) lactate, and (c) a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. In yet another embodiment, the therapeutic wound healing composition comprises (a) an antioxidant and (b) a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty adds. In still yet another embodiment, the therapeutic wound healing composition comprises (a) lactate, (b) an antioxidant, and (c) a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. This invention also pertains to wound healing compositions combined with a medicament which is useful for treating injured mammalian cells to form augmented wound healing compositions such as immunostimulating-wound healing compositions, antiviral-wound healing compositions, antikeratolytic-wound healing compositions, anti-inflammatory-wound healing compositions, antifungal-wound healing compositions, acne treating-wound healing compositions, sunscreen-wound healing compositions, dermatological-wound healing compositions, antihistamine-wound healing compositions, antibacterial-wound healing compositions, and bioadhesive-wound healing compositions. This invention also pertains to wound healing compositions combined with a cytotoxic agent to form cytoprotective-wound healing compositions useful for protecting and reducing injury to mammalian cells and to razor cartridges comprising the wound healing compositions. This invention also pertains to methods for preparing and using the wound healing compositions and the topical and ingestible pharmaceutical products in which the therapeutic compositions may be used.
