Inventor(s): | Scheffler Armin |
Assignee: | AMRYT RESEARCH LIMITED |
Application Number: | US15142679 |
Patent Claims: | 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises topically administering the oleogel to an area of wounds caused by epidermolysis bullosa.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises topically administering the oleogel to an area of epidermolysis bullosa comprising blisters.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triterpene fraction comprises between 1 weight-percent and 20 weight-percent of the oleogel.5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the triterpene fraction comprises between 6 weight-percent and 12 weight-percent of the oleogel.6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fraction of betulin in the triterpene fraction is greater than 60 weight-percent.7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fraction of betulin in the triterpene fraction is greater than 80 weight-percent.8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the triterpene fraction further comprises lupeol.9.
