AI Technical Summary
There is a need for cosmetic and dermatological compositions that inhibit carbamylation of proteins, particularly in skin, as carbamylation leads to collagen cross-link inhibition and alters mechanical properties, contributing to skin aging, and existing solutions are lacking.
A cosmetic composition comprising polylysine and an extract of the Rosa sp. genus, such as Rosa Chinensis flower extract, is applied topically to inhibit protein carbamylation, leveraging a synergistic effect when combined.
The combination of polylysine and Rosa sp. extract effectively inhibits protein carbamylation, providing anti-aging and brightening effects on the skin by preventing or slowing down carbamylation.

Abstract
Description
A COSMETIC COMPOSITION AND A METHOD FOR INHIBITING CARBAMYLATION
[0001] Technical Field of the Disclosure
[0002] The present disclosure relates to the field of cosmetic or dermatologic composition. Particularly, the present disclosure is directed to a new cosmetic and / or dermatological composition for inhibiting carbamylation of protein.
[0003] Background of the Disclosure
[0004] Carbamylation is the adding of cyanate group to the protein amino groups. Protein carbamylation is a hallmark in aging. Carbamylation accumulates in skin and collagen with aging, especially in reticular layer of dermis. Carbamylation of collagen is known to inhibit collagen cross-link formation, which further alters the collagen bundle quality and the mechanical properties of connective tissues. Inhibiting carbamylation could be a new approach to address skin aging.
[0005] Since carbamylation on skin is a newly reported phenomenon (since 2016) , there had been little report on cosmetic ingredients that have carbamylation inhibition properties.
[0006] There is a need for a cosmetic and / or dermatological composition for inhibiting carbamylation of protein, particularly on skin.Summary
[0007] The present disclosure relates to a cosmetic composition comprising at least one polylysine and at least one extract of Rosa sp. genus.
[0008] The present disclosure also relates to a method for inhibiting carbamylation of protein, particularly on skin, comprising applying a cosmetic composition comprising at least one polylysine and at least one extract of Rosa sp. genus.
[0009] The cosmetic composition can achieve technical effect of inhibiting protein carbamylation of skin cells, thereby achieving anti-aging and brightening effect for skin. In addition, compared to polylysine or the extract of Rosa sp. genus (such as Rosa Chinensis Flower extract) alone, the combination of polylysine and the extract of Rosa sp. genus (such as Rosa Chinensis Flower extract) can obtain an unexpected synergistic effect of inhibiting protein carbamylation.Detailed Description

[0091] Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) were maintained in the cultures established in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) with 10%Fetal Bovine Serum in 5%CO2, 95%humidified incubator at 37℃ and passaged using TrypLE Express.
[0092] 1. 2x104 HDFs were seeded in 24-well plates for 24h before changing medium.
[0093] 2. Sodium cyanate was prepared in culture media at 1.5mM, with or without Polylysine and / or Rogina diluted to the final concentration.
[0094] 3. HDFs were further treated for 48h, before fixed by 4%PFA and immunostained with anti-homocitrulline antibody and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, Alexa FluorTM 488.
[0095] 4. The green fluorescence were captured by Operetta CLS High content imaging System purchased from PerkinElmer. For each group, at least three fields were captured, and the fluorescent intensity was calculated by Image J as mean grey value.
[0096] 5. Protection rate is calculated according to the following equation:
[0097] ProtectionRate (%) --100%x (Jnduced-Sample) / (Induced-Control) "Control" in the equation is the data of background without Sodium cyanate, Polylysine and Rogina.
[0098] "Induced" in the equation is the data of the test group with Sodium cyanate and without Polylysine and Rogina.
[0099] "Sample" in the equation is the data of the test group with Sodium cyanate and with Polylysine and / or Rogina.
[0100] "%Rogina" inthe following table refers to the sample with Sodium cyanate and Rogina but without Polylysine.
[0101] "%Polylysine" in the following table refers to the sample with Sodium cyanate and Polylysine but without Rogina.
[0102] "%Rogina + %Polylysine" in the following table refers to the sample with Sodium cyanate, Rogina, and Polylysine.
[0103] Results:
[0104] The experimental results were evaluated by the isobole method for synergistic effects, as described in the article titled “Synergistic Effects of Plant Derivatives and Conventional Chemotherapeutic Agents: An Update on the Cancer Perspective, ” Medicina 2019, 55 (4) , 110, which is herein incorporated in its entirety. According to the isobole method, when OE means the observed effects, and da and db represent the doses of ingredient a and ingredient b, respectively (thus OE (da, db) means the observed effects of the combination of Ingredients a at da and b at db; and OE (da) means the observed effects of Ingredient a at da and OE (da) means the observed effects of Ingredient b at db) , three mathematic equations may be derived:
[0105] OE (da, db) = OE (da) +OE (db) (1)
[0106] OE (da, db) > OE (da) +OE (db) (2)
[0107] OE (da, db) < OE (da) +OE (db) (3)
[0108] If the observed effects satisfy equation (1) , the effects of two ingredients are the simple sum of the single effects, and two ingredients do not interact and thus there is no synergy. If the observed effects satisfy equation (2) , the result represents the real synergism (or potentiation) , where the effects of two ingredients are more than the simple sum of the single effects.
[0109] If the observed effects satisfy equation (3) , the result represents the opposite effects of synergism, as the effects of two ingredients are less than the simple sum of the single effects.
[0110] Method to test formulation efficacy of anti-carbamylation:
[0111] 1. Fullthickness skin equivalent models (Biocell) were equilibrated for 24 hours in culture media at air liquid interface in 5%CO2, 95%humidified incubator at 370C.
[0112] 2. The assay media was replaced with fresh and the models were treated topically with formulation. For induction of carbamylation, sodium cyanate was added to the assay medium in bottom well at a concentration of 1M.
[0113] 3. The treatment was repeated 3 times every 24 hours, after which the tissue was imbedded in OCT and cryosectioned, and carbamylation was detected by anti-homocitrulline antibody.
