Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of nanofiber technology, and in particular relates to a nanofiber membrane, its raw materials, preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Ascorbic acid is commonly used as an additive in food and cosmetics, possessing antioxidant properties and providing reducing power for a series of biochemical reactions. For example, in vivo, ascorbic acid participates in the biosynthesis of carnitine, histamine, and adrenal steroid hormones; it also provides electrons to enzymes, promoting the hydroxylation of hydroxyproline and lysine, essential substances for collagen and connective tissue synthesis; in body fluids, ascorbic acid acts as a protective antioxidant, scavenging free radicals in plasma and protecting cells from reactive oxygen species damage. Ascorbate palmitate retains the physiological activity of ascorbic acid and is used together with it as an antioxidant in food and cosmetics, offering advantages such as nutritional value and safety. Ascorbyl palmitate possesses all the physiological activities of vitamin C, exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties, reducing melanin production, promoting immunoglobulin synthesis, preventing pigmentation caused by trauma, sunburn, acne, etc., whitening the skin, maintaining skin elasticity, reducing wrinkles, and improving rough, pale, and sagging skin. It also delays natural and photoaging of the skin, acting as a highly effective antioxidant and oxygen free radical scavenger with a neutral pH. However, ascorbyl palmitate is insoluble in water and is currently typically used in oil-phase systems; otherwise, its bioavailability is low, greatly limiting its application.

[0003] Traditional face masks consist of a mask sheet and an essence. To prevent bacterial contamination, preservatives are often added. However, preservatives can easily cause allergies in sensitive skin, leading to problems such as redness and itching.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field to develop a cosmetic that can efficiently utilize the beauty benefits of ascorbyl palmitate and has high safety in use, improve the bioavailability of ascorbyl palmitate, broaden its application in the cosmetic field, and produce a face mask with ideal beauty effects and high safety in use. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem this application aims to solve is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the poor water solubility of ascorbate palmitate, limiting its use to oil-phase cosmetics and the poor safety profile of most face masks containing preservatives. This application provides a nanofiber membrane, its raw materials, preparation method, and applications. This application uses amphiphilic cyclodextrin and employs a specific process to encapsulate ascorbate palmitate, improving its dispersibility in water. The resulting product exhibits ideal encapsulation and release capabilities for ascorbate palmitate, thus enhancing its bioavailability. The cyclodextrin encapsulating ascorbate palmitate is then combined with humectants and film-forming materials to prepare a nanofiber membrane via electrospinning. The nanofiber membrane obtained in this application has good solubility and, when used in the cosmetic field, possesses ideal antioxidant, moisturizing, skin-firming, and anti-wrinkle effects, with high safety profile.

[0006] This application adopts the following technical solution to solve the above-mentioned technical problems:

[0007] This application provides a method for preparing cyclodextrin coated with ascorbate palmitate, specifically including the following steps:

[0008] (1) Under stirring conditions, ascorbate palmitate ethanol solution was added dropwise to cyclodextrin aqueous solution, and then ultrasonicated to obtain material A;

[0009] (2) The material A is mixed with the water-soluble polymer, stirred in the dark, and the solvent is removed.

[0010] In step (1), the concentration of ascorbate palmitate in the ascorbate palmitate ethanol solution can be 0.002 to 0.01 g / mL, preferably 0.005 to 0.00625 g / mL.

[0016] The water-soluble pyrrolidone polymer may include polypropylene pyrrolidone.

[0017] The cellulose-based water-soluble polymer may include at least one of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and hydroxyethyl cellulose.

[0018] In step (2), the water-soluble polymer accounts for 0.1% to 0.5% of the mass of material A, preferably 0.1% to 0.4%, and more preferably 0.1% to 0.3%.

[0019] In step (2), the stirring time in the dark can be 48 to 72 hours.

[0020] In step (2), the temperature of the light-protected stirring can be 20-25°C.

[0043] In some embodiments, the receiving distance during the electrospinning process can be 15–20 cm, preferably 17–18 cm. According to conventional art, the receiving distance generally refers to the distance between the tip exit end and the substrate.

[0044] This application also provides the use of the nanofiber membrane described above as a raw material in the preparation of face masks and / or eye masks.

[0045] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be combined arbitrarily to obtain various preferred embodiments of this application.

[0081] Example 1

[0082] The encapsulation rate of ascorbate palmitate in the cyclodextrins coated with ascorbate palmitate prepared in Examples 1, 2-1 to 2-4, 3-1 to 3-4, and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was tested.

[0083] Take a certain amount (W) of the ascorbate palmitate-coated cyclodextrin prepared in the above examples or comparative examples, dissolve it in water, and measure its ultraviolet absorbance at 247 nm. Calculate the mass of ascorbate palmitate in the solution according to the standard curve. That is, the mass of ascorbate palmitate in the ascorbate palmitate-coated cyclodextrin with a mass of W is labeled as H.

[0084] The encapsulation efficiency of ascorbate palmitate was calculated using the following formula, and the results are shown in Table 1:

[0085] R = H / E × 100%;

[0086] Where H is the mass of ascorbate palmitate in the cyclodextrin coated with ascorbate palmitate; E is the amount of ascorbate palmitate fed when W weight of cyclodextrin coated with ascorbate palmitate is obtained.

[0087] Table 1

[0088] serial number Ascorbate palmitate encapsulation rate Example 1 39.6% Example 2-1 28.07% Example 2-2 35.15% Example 2-3 31.24% Examples 2-4 25.92% Example 3-1 35.54% Example 3-2 42.5% Example 3-3 43.2% Examples 3-4 45.1% Comparative Example 1 17.11% Comparative Example 2 16.62% Comparative Example 3 20.8%

[0089] The results showed that, compared with Example 1, in Comparative Examples 1-3, the encapsulation rate of ascorbate palmitate was significantly reduced by using light-protected stirring alone, using ultrasound alone, or not adding water-soluble polymers during the preparation process. This reduced the utilization rate of ascorbate palmitate and increased the preparation cost.

[0090] According to the results of Examples 1, 2-1 to 2-4, when the water-soluble polymers are sodium polyacrylate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, the cyclodextrin coated with ascorbate palmitate has a higher encapsulation rate of ascorbate palmitate.

[0091] According to the results of Examples 1, 3-1 to 3-4, when the amount of water-soluble polymer sodium polyacrylate added is 0.1% to 0.5%, the encapsulation rate is between 35.54% and 45.1%, and the encapsulation rate increases with the increase of the amount of water-soluble polymer sodium polyacrylate added.

[0092] Example 2

[0093] The ascorbate palmitate release rate of the cyclodextrins coated with ascorbate palmitate prepared in Examples 1, 3-1 to 3-4 above was tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0094] The test method includes the following steps: 2g of the sample to be tested is placed in a 1000kDa dialysis membrane bag, dissolved in 5mL of PBS, and then the bag is immersed in 30mL of PBS (10mM, 7.4) and sealed with sealing film. The solution is stirred at 150rpm in a shaker. The released sample (3mL) is removed at predetermined time intervals, and the concentration of ascorbate palmitate is measured at 247nm using a UV spectrophotometer. The release rate is calculated according to the following formula. After measurement, the sample is returned to the beaker, and dialysis continues. The results are shown in Table 2.

[0095] Ascorbate palmitate release rate = ascorbate palmitate concentration in solution (mg / mL) × 30mL / ascorbate palmitate mass in nanofiber membrane (mg) × 100%.

[0096] Table 2

[0097]

[0098] The results showed that when the amount of sodium polyacrylate added was in the range of 0.1% to 0.4% of the mass of material A, the release rate could reach more than 80%; when the amount of sodium polyacrylate added was greater than 0.5% of the mass of material A, it had a significant impact on the release rate, and the release rate decreased significantly.

[0099] Example 3

[0100] The microstructure of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 was observed using a JSM-7800F scanning electron microscope at a test voltage of 5 kV. Figure 1 .

[0101] As can be seen from the figure, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 has an average diameter of 0.33 μm and no beaded structure is formed, indicating that the cyclodextrin, sodium hyaluronate, and polyvinyl alcohol coated with ascorbate palmitate can be uniformly mixed. In addition, during the preparation process of the nanofiber membrane in Example 4, the liquid spraying during spinning is smooth and it is not easy to clog the needle. When it is cut into face masks and eye masks, it has good conformability.

[0102] Example 4

[0103] Take 1cm 2 The nanofiber membrane and ascorbate palmitate powder prepared in Example 4 were dissolved in 1 mL of water, and the results are shown in [Figure 4]. Figure 2 . Figure 2 In the figures, group a corresponds to the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4, and group b corresponds to the ascorbate palmitate powder.

[0104] from Figure 2 As can be seen, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 has excellent solubility, while the ascorbate palmitate powder is almost insoluble. Therefore, the method of this application can significantly improve the dispersibility of ascorbate palmitate in water.

[0105] Example 5

[0106] Infrared spectroscopy measurements were performed on cyclodextrin (CD), ascorbate palmitate (AP), and the ascorbate palmitate-coated cyclodextrin prepared in Example 1, respectively. The results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0107] The results showed that the cyclodextrin sample at 1600 cm⁻¹ -1 The surface is smooth with no obvious characteristic peaks, while the ascorbate palmitate sample shows a peak at 1600 cm⁻¹. -1 The cyclodextrin coated with ascorbate palmitate prepared in Example 1 contains a C=O characteristic peak at 1600 cm⁻¹. -1 The presence of characteristic peaks similar to those of ascorbate palmitate nearby confirms that ascorbate palmitate was successfully encapsulated within the cyclodextrin.

[0108] Example 6

[0109] Thermogravimetric analysis was performed on two samples: ascorbate palmitate and the ascorbate-coated cyclodextrin prepared in Example 1. The results are shown in the figure. Figure 4 .

[0110] like Figure 4As shown, the pure ascorbate palmitate sample reached its thermal decomposition temperature at 208.06℃, while the thermal decomposition temperature of the cyclodextrin coated with ascorbate palmitate prepared in Example 1 can reach as high as 290.01℃, which proves that the thermal stability of the system is improved after the cyclodextrin is coated with ascorbate palmitate.

After culture, discard the culture medium, wash with PBS, and add 100 μL of lysis buffer to each well to lyse the cells, obtaining cell lysates. Centrifuge at 12000g for 5 min at 4℃, discard the precipitate, and obtain the supernatant of the cell lysates. Detect the MDA and Col-I content in the supernatant of the cell lysates according to the kit. Analyze the effects of the nanofiber membranes prepared in Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 on the MDA and Col-I content in damaged HSF cells. The results are shown in the table below. Figure 6 and Figure 7And Table 3. The CAT activity in the supernatant of cell lysates was detected according to the kit. The effects of the nanofiber membranes prepared in Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 on CAT activity in damaged HSF cells were analyzed. The results are shown in Table 3. Figure 8 And Table 3.

[0115] Blank control group test method: Compared with the experimental group, the blank control group was not treated with H2O2, and no test solution was added. Other treatment conditions were the same as those of the experimental group.

[0116] Model group testing method: Compared with the experimental group, HSF cells were treated with 100 μmol / L H2O2 for 2 h without any test solution, and other treatment conditions were the same as those in the experimental group.

[0119] The free radical aging theory posits that the intensification of the contradiction between excessive ROS production in mitochondria and weakened ROS defense capabilities ultimately leads to aging. Therefore, the antioxidant effect of a product can be assessed by detecting its impact on the ROS content in HSF (Highly Saturated Cells). A decrease in ROS content in cells demonstrates the product's antioxidant efficacy. Figure 5 As shown in Table 3, after treating damaged human skin fibroblasts with the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4, the intracellular ROS content was significantly reduced, even falling below that of the blank control group. While the intracellular ROS content was reduced somewhat after treating human skin fibroblasts with the nanofiber membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, the reduction was limited, and the ROS content remained higher than that of the blank control group.

[0120] Excess free radicals in the body attack unsaturated fatty acids, causing oxidation and increasing the level of lipid peroxidation product MDA. Therefore, the level of MDA directly reflects the level of oxygen free radicals in the body, as well as the intensity and rate of peroxidation, and is an important indicator of the degree of tissue and cell damage caused by peroxidation. Figure 6 As shown, the MDA content in damaged HSF cells decreased significantly under the action of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4. However, under the action of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, the MDA content in damaged HSF cells was close to that in the model group, indicating that it had almost no antioxidant capacity. Figure 6 The symbol "**" indicates that the difference compared with the model group is highly significant, and **p<0.01.

[0121] The higher the collagen content in human skin fibroblasts, the better the skin elasticity. For example... Figure 7As shown in Table 3, after treating damaged human skin fibroblasts with the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4, the COL-I content in the human skin fibroblasts was significantly higher than that in the model group. After treating damaged human skin fibroblasts with the nanofiber membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1, the intracellular COL-I content also increased slightly, but the increase was significantly lower than that in Example 4. Therefore, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 has a more ideal anti-aging effect on the skin. Figure 7 The asterisk (*) indicates that the difference compared with the model group is statistically significant (p < 0.05).

[0122] Catalase is a naturally occurring superoxide free radical scavenger in the body, capable of breaking down free radicals into water and oxygen. Higher catalase levels in human skin fibroblasts indicate stronger antioxidant capacity. Figure 8 As shown, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 significantly increased the intracellular catalase activity of damaged human skin fibroblasts after treatment, exceeding that of the blank control group. In contrast, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1 had a limited effect on increasing intracellular catalase activity.

[0123] The results above indicate that the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 can better protect human skin fibroblasts from oxidative stress damage.

[0125] The determination of DPPH free radical scavenging activity: DPPH (1,1-disphenyl-2-picry1-hydrazy1), chemically named 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine, with the molecular formula (C6H5)2N-NC6H5(NO2)3, has an unpaired valence electron on one atom of the nitrogen bridge. The orbital motion of this electron is almost canceled out by the molecular structure. The capture of DPPH free radicals is commonly used as an indicator of antioxidant capacity. A higher DPPH free radical scavenging rate indicates a more ideal antioxidant effect.

[0126] Test method:

[0127] To prepare a 0.12 mg / mL DPPH ethanol solution: Weigh 12 mg of 1,1-diphenyl-2-trinitrophenylhydrazine into a 100 mL volumetric flask and dilute to 100 mL with anhydrous ethanol.

[0128] The nanofiber membranes prepared in Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 were dissolved in deionized water to prepare test solutions of different concentrations. The mass-to-volume ratios of the nanofiber membranes in the test solutions were 0.04 mg / mL, 0.2 mg / mL, 1 mg / mL, and 5 mg / mL, respectively. In a 96-well plate, 100 μL of DPPH radical solution and 100 μL of test solution were added to each well as the sample group; 100 μL of DPPH radical solution and 100 μL of deionized water were added to each well as the blank group; 100 μL of deionized water and 100 μL of test solution were added to each well as the sample baseline group; and 200 μL of deionized water was added to each well as the solvent baseline group. After reacting at room temperature for 30 min, the absorbance at 517 nm was measured using a microplate reader. The DPPH radical scavenging rate was calculated using the following formula:

[0129] DPPH free radical scavenging rate (%) = [1-(A 样品组 -A 样品底值 ) / (A 空白组 -A 溶剂底值 )]×100%.

[0130] The DPPH free radical scavenging rate of the nanofiber membranes prepared in Example 4 and Comparative Example 1 was tested, and the results are shown in Table 4 and 1. Figure 9 The results showed that the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 had a better antioxidant effect than the nanofiber membrane prepared in Comparative Example 1. The nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 not only improved the dispersion ability of ascorbate palmitate in water, but also had a more ideal release effect.

[0134] In the experimental group, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 was cut into 4cm × 4cm pieces. A small amount of deionized water was sprayed onto the inner forearm of the subject to moisten it. The nanofiber membrane was then applied to the inner forearm for 15 minutes and removed. The moisture content of the applied sample was measured at 1h, 2h, and 4h using a CK820 skin moisture content meter, and the rate of change in moisture content was calculated. The results are shown in Table 5. Moisture content change rate = (A1 - A0) / A1 × 100%; where A0 is the initial moisture content value without any sample applied; and A1 is the moisture content value after a period of application.

[0135] The control group was sprayed with a small amount of deionized water and did not have a membrane applied. The testing method was the same as that for the experimental group, and the rate of change in moisture content was tested at different time periods.

[0136] Temperature: 20±1℃, Humidity: 50±5%, N=30.

[0139] The results showed that, compared with the control group, the application of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 significantly increased the skin's moisture content.

[0141] Human patch testing is primarily used to detect the irritation of the final cosmetic product or raw material. This invention conducts a human patch test on the nanofiber membrane obtained in Example 4 to assess its potential skin irritation. According to the Cosmetic Safety Technical Specifications (2015 edition), 30 volunteers aged 18-60 years who met the testing requirements were selected as subjects. A 50mm... 2 The sample was placed in a plaque applicator, and 0.02 mL of deionized water was added to the sample to form the test group plaque applicator. The control plaque applicator was left empty to serve as the blank control group. The test group plaque applicators and the blank control group plaque applicators were fixedly applied to the flexor side of the subject's forearm using non-irritating adhesive tape. The tape was gently pressed with the palm of the hand to ensure even application to the skin, and the application was left on for 24 hours (during which time the volunteers could not remove the plaque applicators or allow the test site to come into contact with water). The plaque applicators were then removed, and the skin reaction was observed 30 minutes after the removal of the plaque applicators.

[0142] Among them, *"-" = negative reaction;

[0143] Grade 1 adverse reaction: "±" = Suspicious reaction: only slight erythema;

[0144] Secondary adverse reactions: "+" = weak positive reaction (erythema reaction): erythema, infiltration, edema, and papules may be present;

[0145] Grade III adverse reaction: "++" = strong positive reaction (herpes reaction): erythema, infiltration, edema, papules, vesicles, the reaction may extend beyond the test area;

[0146] Grade IV adverse reaction: "+++" = extremely strong positive reaction (confluent herpes simplex reaction): obvious erythema, severe infiltration, edema, confluent herpes simplex, reaction beyond the test area.

[0147] As shown in Table 6, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 did not cause any adverse reactions after being applied for 30 minutes, 24 hours and 48 hours, indicating that the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 has good safety for human skin.

[0151] Skin elasticity and firmness testing are important indicators for evaluating the firming effect of cosmetics and are the main methods for evaluating the anti-aging effect of cosmetics. This invention conducts skin elasticity and firmness testing on the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 to evaluate its anti-aging effect.

[0152] According to the "Test Method for the Effect of Cosmetics on Skin Elasticity" (T / ZHCA005-2019), 30 volunteers aged 25-60 years who had not undergone facial cosmetic surgery or other cosmetic procedures that might affect skin elasticity within the past 3 months were selected. After cleansing their faces, the volunteers applied the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 to their cheeks for 20 minutes daily. After application, parameters R0 and R1 were measured using a cutometer. R0 represents the total deformation of the skin during the first absorption phase of the elasticity test, measured in mm, characterizing skin firmness; the smaller the R0, the firmer the skin. R1 represents the ratio of the total extension during the first absorption phase to the reduction during release. The closer R1 is to 100%, the better the skin elasticity. No sample was applied to the blank control group.

[0153] The results are shown in Table 7. After four weeks of continuous use of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4, the skin firmness parameter R0 decreased significantly, while the blank control area showed no significant change. This indicates that the skin firmness was improved after using the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4. The skin elasticity parameter R1 increased significantly compared to the initial value, while the blank control area showed no change, indicating that skin elasticity was improved after using the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4. Therefore, the nanofiber membrane prepared in this application has ideal anti-aging effects.

[0157] According to the "Clinical Evaluation Method for the Efficacy of Cosmetics in Improving Crow's Feet" (T / SHRH 018-2019), 30 volunteers aged 18-60 years with fine lines or wrinkles at the corners of their eyes were selected. These participants had not participated in other clinical studies within the past three months. Rapid optical imaging technology was used to image and analyze the corners of the eyes before and after product use. The sample was applied to the corners of the eyes for 20 minutes daily. The roughness parameter Rz of the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes was measured using the FOITS rapid optical imaging system before and after 4 weeks of application. The results are shown in Table 8. The experimental group applied the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4, while the blank control group did not apply any sample.

[0158] The results showed that, compared with the control group, the roughness parameter Rz of the crow's feet wrinkles was significantly improved after 4 weeks of use of the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4, indicating that the crow's feet wrinkles were improved, that is, the nanofiber membrane prepared in Example 4 has ideal anti-wrinkle properties.
