Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition for external use on skin with enhanced anti-eczema efficacy, comprising (A) concentrated birch sap, wherein the concentration ratio is about 1.05-8 times, preferably about 1.1-4 times, and more preferably about 1.2-2 times, and (B) one or more substances selected from the group consisting of oat kernel extract, prurinifolia utilis oil, calendula officinalis flower extract, allantoin, bisabolol, ceramide, panthenol, glycerin, and squalane. Background Art
[0002] Eczema is an inflammatory skin disease with a pronounced exudative tendency, caused by a variety of internal and external factors. It's characterized by significant itching, impaired skin barrier function, and a high recurrence rate. Currently, oat kernel extract, calendula extract, allantoin, bisabolol, ceramides, panthenol, glycerin, squalane, and prickle fruit oil are the most common anti-eczema and moisturizing ingredients in commercially available cosmetics for eczema, but their effectiveness is often unsatisfactory.
[0003] Birch is a deciduous tree in the Betulaceae family. There are approximately 100 species worldwide, primarily distributed in northern and cold temperate zones. Approximately 29 species are found in my country, primarily in Northeast, Northwest, North China, and Southwest China. Birch trees play a vital role in preventing soil erosion, improving the environment, and protecting against wind and sandstorms. Birches primarily grow in remote mountainous areas with minimal human intervention and industrial pollution. Birch sap is the fresh sap that flows out of birch bark or when a hole is drilled in the trunk. It is colorless or light yellow, free of sediment and impurities, and has a light birch fragrance. It is rich in nutrients and, after ingestion, is metabolized into factors beneficial to health, thus providing health benefits for those with sub-health conditions. It is often used in beverages, such as beverages and alcohol, due to its excellent nutritional and health benefits. Birch sap contains a large amount of sugars, amino acids, vitamins, biotin, cytokinins, trace minerals, aromatic oils, betulin, saponins, and other compounds, offering excellent moisturizing and anti-eczema properties. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In one aspect, the present invention relates to use of a combination of (A) concentrated birch sap and (B) one or more selected from oat kernel extract, prurinifolia utilis oil, calendula officinalis extract, allantoin, bisabolol, ceramide, panthenol, glycerin and squalane in a skin external composition with enhanced anti-eczema efficacy, wherein the concentrated birch sap is concentrated at a multiple of about 1.05-8 times, preferably about 1.1-4 times, and more preferably about 1.2-2 times.
[0005] On the other hand, the present invention relates to a composition for external use on skin with enhanced anti-eczema efficacy, comprising (A) concentrated birch sap having a concentration factor of about 1.05-8 times, preferably about 1.1-4 times, and more preferably about 1.2-2 times, and (B) one or more substances selected from oat kernel extract, prurinifolia utilis oil, calendula officinalis flower extract, allantoin, bisabolol, ceramide, panthenol, glycerin, and squalane.
[0006] The birch sap used in the present invention is obtained from the genus Betula (Betulaceae), and can come from four species: Betula alba, Betula pubescens, Betula pendula, and Betula platyphylla. The birch sap is collected by drilling holes at the base of birch trunks between thawing and leafing in early spring. It is colorless, transparent, and free of sediment and debris, and has a refreshing birch fragrance and is rich in nutrients. The birch sap can be commercially obtained and used as is, for example, from Daxing'anling Chaoyue Wild Berry Development Co., Ltd.
[0007] The concentrated birch sap in the present invention is obtained by concentrating the commercially available product. Concentration methods are known in the art, such as heating concentration, low-temperature vacuum concentration, and membrane concentration. In the present invention, concentration is preferably performed by low-temperature freeze concentration or membrane concentration. For example, commercially available birch sap stock solution is fed into a low-temperature drying device, cooled to -40°C to -70°C, and vacuumed to 0.1-30 Pa for low-temperature vacuum concentration, thereby obtaining concentrated birch sap of varying concentration ratios.
[0008] Furthermore, the inventors have discovered that the anti-eczema efficacy of concentrated birch sap is not linearly correlated with its concentration level, but rather increases and then decreases with increasing concentration ratio. Therefore, controlling the concentration ratio of birch sap is crucial. In the present invention, the concentration ratio of birch sap is controlled to be 1.05-8 times, preferably about 1.1-4 times, and more preferably about 1.2-2 times.
[0009] Unexpectedly, the present inventors found that compared with the use of concentrated birch sap, oat kernel extract, prickle oil, calendula extract, allantoin, bisabolol, ceramide, panthenol, glycerin or squalane alone, the combination of concentrated birch sap with oat kernel extract, prickle oil, calendula extract, allantoin, bisabolol, ceramide, panthenol, glycerin and / or squalane has significantly better anti-eczema efficacy, which is much higher than the combined effect of the two functions, indicating that a synergistic effect occurs between them.
[0010] The concentrated birch sap of component (A) is contained in an amount of about 18-98% by weight, preferably about 20-95% by weight, more preferably about 22-90% by weight, and most preferably about 30-90% by weight, based on the total weight of the external skin composition.

[0075] Example 4 :Effects of birch sap on mast cell degranulation
[0076] This example uses a zebrafish larval allergy model to test and compare the effects of panthenol, squalene, and birch sap in combination on mast cell degranulation, thereby verifying the efficacy of birch sap in treating eczema.
[0077] The experimental method is as follows.
[0078] 1. Experimental animals: zebrafish.
[0079] 2. Experimental procedures are as follows: AB wild-type zebrafish embryos were collected and cultured in E3 buffer in a 28.5°C incubator until 5 dpf (days post fertilization), with daily medium changes. 5 dpf zebrafish larvae were randomly transferred into 48-well cell culture plates at a rate of 10 per well and grouped into 4 replicate wells. The groupings were as follows:
[0080] Model group: RO water + 15μg / ml SP
[0081] Positive drug group: ketotifen + 15μg / ml SP
[0082] Sample group to be tested: The formula is as follows:
[0083] Ingredients (g) Recipe 1 Recipe 2 Recipe 3 Recipe 4 Recipe 5 Recipe 6 Recipe 7 Recipe 8 Birch sap concentrate 95 95 100 1.2 times concentrated solution 95 95 100 Panthenol 5 5 5 Squalene 5 5 5 water 95 95
[0084] Corresponding to the above-mentioned SP-induced degranulation groups, a negative control group (without SP) was set up, with 4 replicates per group; corresponding to the SP degranulation-induced group and the SP-free negative control group, a background control group (without zebrafish larvae) was set up, with 2 replicates per group. The residual E3 buffer in each well was aspirated and 250μl of the solution corresponding to each group was added. The cells were reacted in a 28.5℃ incubator in the dark for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, 200μl of the supernatant from each group was taken to a 96-well cell culture plate, and the enzyme reaction substrate BAPNA was added to a concentration of 400μg / ml. The 96-well plate was covered and placed in a 28.5℃ incubator in the dark for 2 hours. After 2 hours, the light absorbance value of the entire plate at 405nm was measured once. The value reflects the release of tryptase from zebrafish mast cells.
[0085] The results of the zebrafish larvae mast cell protection model efficacy experiment are recorded in the table below:
[0086]
[0087]
[0088] The results in the table above show that when panthenol, squalene, and birch sap are used in combination, they significantly inhibit mast cell degranulation. Furthermore, when used in combination with a 1.2x concentrate, the efficacy was even greater than that of the birch sap concentrate.
[0089] Example 5 : Effects of birch sap on the production of inflammatory factors in the process of eczema
[0090] In this example, an eczema model was established in mice by sensitization and stimulation with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB), and 1% hydrocortisone ointment was administered as a positive control to examine the effects of the combined use of oat kernel extract, utilis prickle oil, and birch sap on the production of inflammatory factors Th2 (IL-4, 13, 17) and TSLP.
[0091] The experimental method is as follows.
[0092] 1. Experimental animals: ICR mice, male.
[0093] 2. Experimental materials: 0.5% DNFB acetone solution, depilatory cream, dust mite extract, birch sap, oat kernel extract, and pruinosa fruit oil.
[0094] 3. The experimental procedures were as follows: ICR mice were randomly divided into 12 groups according to body weight, each consisting of a normal group, a model group, and a sample group. One day before modeling, a depilatory cream was used to remove hair from an approximately 2x2 cm area on the back of each group of mice. The experimental area on the back of the mice was determined, and the stratum corneum was removed by repeated application of wide transparent tape eight times. All animals were then sensitized with dust mite extract on days 1, 3, 5, and 7 of the first week. Sensitization with dust mite extract was performed on days 10, 13, and 2 of the second week. Sensitization with dust mite extract was performed weekly from week 3 to week 6, and acetone patches were also applied. Acetone (DNCB) was diluted to a 0.5% solution in double-distilled water. The mice were then fixed on the back of the mice as described above, with 100 μL of 0.5% DNCB applied every other day in week 2, and 70 μL every other day from week 2 onward for a total of 6 weeks.
