Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new glycine derivative that has no aromatic group, thiol group, or optical activity. It has excellent color stability and is stable in manufacturing and storage. It is safe and not harmful to human beings. It can be used in whitening formulations, as it is not easily oxidized. It is also suitable for clear aqueous cosmetic caring formulations, as it has no bioactivity difference due to other existing enantiomer. Overall, this glycine derivative has excellent properties and is a valuable addition to the cosmetic industry.

Problems solved by technology

However, the mechanisms of inhibiting melanin formation of various effective skin whitening ingredients are not all the same and also are not completely realized.
Kojic acid is not stable in a solution to make formulation manufacturing process complicate (referring to U.S. Pat. No. 6,306,376) and may cause skin allergy (referring to Contact Dermatitis, January 95, Vol. 42(1), Page 9˜13) while applied as a skin care product.
The above mentioned problems both restrict the applicability of skin whitening formulation thereof.
Ascorbic acid is very unstable and can be easily oxidized and deteriorated.
However, using sulfite as a stabilizer causes the resulting product having an irritating smell problem (referring to U.S. Pat. No. 6,020,367).
Therefore, such a method cannot solve both the color and smell problems in the whitening formulation.
Although arbutin has whitening effect, the structure of arbutin is glycosylated hydroquinone and the formulation containing arbutin may have color change due to oxidation of aromatic phenol moiety to cause the difficulty in formulation manufacturing.
Besides, the water solubility of arbutin is low to result in low concentration in the formulation so that the resulting whitening effect is low in practice (referring to Japan patent application No. 2009-67691).
Japan patent application No. 2009-67691 discloses whitening cosmetics containing nano arbutin but it has problems of being very difficult to produce, inconvenient in use, and difficulty in being absorbed by skin.
Therefore, not all dipeptides are good whitening ingredients.
However, in practice, when manufacturing and applying the whitening skin care formulation, except the effectiveness of the major ingredients, the stability in the formulation should also be considered at the same time to avoid generating cross reaction with solvents and other additives in the formulation to cause formulation deterioration to generate color and smell problems.

[0035]Ac-Gly-OH a (3.77 g, 32.2 mmol) and triethylamine (6.7 mL, 48.1 mmol) were dissolved in 160 mL THF and cooled to −10□, and isobutylchloroformate (5.02 g, 38.6 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at −10□ for 1 hr. H-beta-Ala-OBzl.PTSA e (11.26 g, 32.0 mmol) and triethylamine (6.7 mL, 48.1 mmol) was dissolved in 160 mL THF, and added into mix anhydride solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The salt was filtrated off and THF was removed in vacuum. The residue obtained was purified by column chromatography using ethyl acetate and heptane as eluent to obtain 5.95 g Ac-Gly-beta-Ala-OBzl f.

Abstract

The invention provides a glycine derivative, having a structure shown in the following general equation (I):wherein R1 represents a C1˜C4 alkyl group; R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; and n represents an integer of 1˜6.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention is generally related to a glycine derivative, and more particularly to a glycine derivative capable of inhibiting melanin formation and composition using the same.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]In general, melanin formation is considered to be related to tyrosinase. Tyrosine naturally exists in epidermal cells and is the precursor or melanin. Melanin formation comprises the following steps tyrosine→Dopa→Dopaquinone→Dopachrome→melanin, melanin is formed and tyrosinase is an important enzyme in the melanin formation process. The hydroxylase activity of tyrosinase catalyzes the reaction of converting tyrosine into dopa and the oxidase activity of tyrosinase catalyzes the reaction of converting dopa into dopaquinone. As long as a substance can effectively act on epidermal cells to inhibit melanogenesis or inhibit the formation of any product in the sequence of melanin formation, the substan...
