Jojoba alcohol, a mixture of long chain monounsaturated alcohols, is an oily liquid at moderate ambient temperatures. It is readily absorbed by human skin where it relieves irritation and inhibits the formation of lesions caused by viruses. The inhibitory action is applicable to enveloped viruses which express as sores at dermal surfaces in humans. When applied topically to an incipent herpes episode, it will quickly penetrate the epidermis to the subdermal vascular cells and suppress viral replication which leads to inflammation and the formation of blisters on the face, genital and other skin and mucosal areas. Fumaric acid and malonic acid at low concentrations also inhibit the replication of varicella zoster virus in human cell cultures, with no cellular toxicity. Compositions of certain low molecular weight organic acids in jojoba alcohol enhance antiviral activity. Topical treatment of shingles with a low concentration of fumaric acid in jojoba alcohol terminates the episode. This combination drug acts by a dual mechanism wherein the jojoba alcohol blocks viral fusion by a lipoidal mode, and the polycarboxylic acids inhibit viral fusion by an ionic mode. The combination drug can also be effective in treating chicken pox. Jojoba alcohol is a carrier and transdermal delivery system for these and other pharmacologically active agents for the relief of pain and treatment of other conditions which occur at or under the surface of the skin. Topically applied jojoba alcohol is non-toxic and safe for animals and humans.
荷荷巴醇是一种长链单不饱和醇的混合物,在中等环境温度下呈油状液体。它很容易被人体皮肤吸收,从而缓解皮肤刺激,抑制病毒引起的病变的形成。这种抑制作用适用于在人体皮肤表面表现为溃疡的包膜病毒。在疱疹发作时局部使用,它能迅速穿透表皮到达皮下血管细胞,抑制病毒复制,从而导致面部、生殖器和其他皮肤及粘膜部位发炎并形成水疱。低浓度的富马酸和丙二酸也能抑制水痘带状疱疹病毒在人类细胞培养物中的复制,且对细胞无毒性。荷荷巴醇中的某些低分子量有机酸成分可增强抗病毒活性。用霍霍巴醇中的低浓度富马酸局部治疗带状疱疹,可终止带状疱疹的发作。这种复方药物通过双重机制发挥作用,荷荷巴醇类通过脂质模式阻断病毒融合,而多羧酸则通过离子模式抑制病毒融合。这种复方药物还能有效治疗水痘。荷荷巴醇是这些药物和其他药理活性剂的载体和透皮给药系统,可用于缓解疼痛和治疗发生在皮肤表面或皮下的其他病症。局部使用荷荷巴醇对动物和人类无毒、安全。
