Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of cosmetics, and particularly relates to a multiple-protected glabridin carrier and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Glabridin has potential application value as an efficacy raw material in cosmetics, and its structure is shown in Formula I; however, glabridin has the defects of poor water solubility, poor light stability and high-temperature stability, and poor transdermal absorption; therefore, it is difficult to be applied to products.

[0003]

[0004] The prior art provides different technical solutions to solve the above defects of glabridin. For example, CN106619148A prepares a water-soluble microcapsule to increase transdermal absorption in view of the poor transdermal absorption and solubility of glabridin; although the patent provides data of transdermal absorption, it does not explore the stability of the product, and the technical solution provided in the patent contains glutaraldehyde solvent, which inevitably causes irritation to the skin during use. Patent CN108815012A prepares an alpha-cyclodextrin microcapsule in view of the poor solubility of glabridin, and increases the solubility of glabridin by using alpha-cyclodextrin microcapsule wrapping; although the patent explores the solubility, it does not explore the stability, and the technical solution uses acetone as a solvent, which is difficult to completely remove during preparation, and thus causes irritation to the skin during subsequent use. Patent CN110169928A prepares a cyclodextrin multiple-wrapped product in view of the solubility, stability and transdermal absorption of glabridin, so as to increase the solubility, stability and transdermal absorption of glabridin; however, the technical solution uses anhydrous ethanol, which may have solvent residues, thus causing certain irritation to the skin during use, and the method uses cyclodextrin wrapping, which has certain limitations in transdermal absorption because cyclodextrin is a cyclic oligosaccharide and no lipophilic group is exposed in the structure, and the technical solution does not explore the light stability of the product. Patent CN105581911A improves the stability of glabridin and promotes penetration by using a solid lipid carrier; however, the technical solution does not study the stability, and in addition, the technical solution adopts an ultrasonic emulsification process, which is difficult to realize mass production.

[0076] Effect example

[0077] The effect example verifies the performance of the multiple-protected glabridin carrier prepared by examples 1-9 and comparative examples 1-16, specifically including the following aspects:

[0078] 1. Particle size, particle size distribution coefficient (PDI) determination: tested by nanoparticle size potential analyzer; the obtained results are shown in table 3;

[0079] Table 3

[0080] Particle size / nm PDI Particle size / nm PDI Particle size / nm PDI Example 1 58 0.652 Comparative Example 1 / / Comparative Example 10 / / Example 2 63 0.687 Comparative Example 2 / / Comparative Example 11 / / Example 3 98 0.832 Comparative Example 3 / / Comparative Example 12 156 0.732 Example 4 96 0.785 Comparative Example 4 / / Comparative Example 13 74 0.671 Example 5 73 0.705 Comparative Example 5 / / Comparative Example 14 / / Example 6 68 0.713 Comparative Example 6 / / Comparative Example 15 12000 0.813 Example 7 69 0.812 Comparative Example 7 / / Comparative Example 16 46 0.928 Example 8 75 0.698 Comparative Example 8 53 0.832 Example 9 70 0.802 Comparative Example 9 / /

[0081] In table 3, " / " indicates that the amphiphilic nanovesicle system of the multiple-protected glabridin carrier is not formed, so no corresponding particle size value and PDI value are given; specifically, comparative examples 1-7, 9-11 occur in the observation of austenitic ripening, and the stable nanovesicle carrier structure is not formed; in comparative example 14, the antioxidant and glabridin are solubilized in water by using solubilization, and the nanovesicle carrier structure is not formed, and occurs in the observation of austenitic ripening;

[0082] As can be seen from Table 3, the technical solutions of the present application can all obtain stable amphiphilic nanovesicle systems, the particle size of the obtained products is below 98 nm, and the PDI is below 0.832, that is, the particle size of the obtained products is small, and the particle size distribution is uniform; as can be seen from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5, when the mass parts of the components are changed, it is difficult to form a nanovesicle structure with small and uniform particle size and stability, and Austen aging is prone to occur; as can be seen from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 6-10, when one of the components is not added, part of the obtained products undergoes Austen aging, and in Comparative Example 8, the addition of an antioxidant can form a stable nanovesicle structure, but the uniformity of the particle size distribution of the obtained nanovesicle structure shows a certain downward trend, and compared with Example 1, the PDI value increases by 27.61%; as can be seen from Examples 1, Examples 5-9 and Comparative Examples 11-13, the type of the components can also affect the performance of the products, when the type of the selected components is not in the present application, it is difficult to form a nanovesicle structure with small and uniform particle size and stability, and even in Comparative Example 10, when the type of the polyhydric alcohol is not selected in the present application, a stable nanovesicle structure cannot be formed; as can be seen from Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 14-16, the preparation method and carrier method of the products can also affect the performance of the products.

[0083] 2. Stability: The prepared multiple-protected glabridin carriers were respectively placed in normal temperature (25±0.5℃), high temperature (45±0.5℃), freezing (-15±0.5℃) and light (daylight) environments for 39 weeks, and after the placement was completed, the appearance and whether it was layered were observed, and the content of glabridin after 39 weeks of placement was detected by HPLC. Specifically, the glabridin HPLC content detection used an Agilent high-performance liquid chromatograph model 1100, and the obtained data was detected by QB / T 4951-2016 “Cosmetic raw materials: glabridin root extract”; the obtained data is shown in Table 4.

[0084] Table 4

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] As can be seen from Table 4, the product obtained by using the technical scheme of the present application has excellent stability, and no delamination and discoloration occurs after being placed for 39 weeks under normal temperature, high temperature, freezing or light, and the content of glabridin in the product is almost not reduced; as can be seen from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5, when the mass fraction of the components is changed, the comprehensive performance of the obtained product is also obviously reduced, and in Comparative Example 1-5, when the polyol, emulsifier, liquid oil, phospholipid or antioxidant is too much, discoloration or unstable phenomenon of austenitic ripening occurs, and the content of glabridin in the product is obviously reduced; as can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 6-10, when one of the components is not added, the comprehensive performance of the obtained product is also obviously reduced, and in Comparative Examples 6, 7, 9 and 10, when the emulsifier, liquid oil, polyol or phospholipid is not added, austenitic ripening is more likely to occur, and in Comparative Example 8, when the antioxidant is not added, discoloration is more likely to occur in the product, and the content of glabridin in the product is poor, especially under high temperature and light, the content of glabridin is significantly reduced; as can be seen from Example 1, Examples 5-9 and Comparative Examples 11-13, the type of the components also affects the performance of the product, and when the type of the selected components is replaced by other types of polyol, antioxidant or liquid oil, the stability performance or glabridin content performance of the obtained product is not good; as can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 14-16, the preparation method and carrier type of the product also affect the performance of the product.

[0088] 3. Transdermal penetration test: the pigskin is washed with distilled water, then washed with physiological saline, and dried with filter paper for standby; a Franz diffusion cell is used for transdermal experiment, the diffusion cell is kept at constant temperature (37℃) by a circulating water jacket, the skin is fixed between the supply chamber and the receiving cell, the surface of the skin faces the supply chamber, the effective penetration area S is 2.8 cm 2 , the receiving cell has a volume of 7.0 mL, the receiving liquid is physiological saline, 1.0 g of the multiple-protected glabridin carrier is uniformly applied to the surface of the skin in the supply chamber, and a magnetic stirrer is started to stir at a speed of 300 r / min; 0.5 mL of the receiving liquid is taken out at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 h (after each sampling, an equal amount of physiological saline is added), the sample is centrifuged to obtain the supernatant, the content of glabridin is determined, and the cumulative transdermal drug release amount Q per unit area is calculated; the results are shown in Table 5;

[0089] Table 5

[0090]

[0091]

[0092] As can be seen from Table 5, the product obtained by using the technical scheme of the present application has excellent transdermal permeability, and the cumulative transdermal drug release amount at 6h is 28.21μg / cm 2 As can be seen from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-5, when the mass parts of the components are changed, the transdermal drug release amount of the obtained product at each time node is reduced, and compared with Example 1, the cumulative transdermal drug release amount at 6h is greatly reduced; as can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 6-10, when one of the components is not added, specifically, when polyhydric alcohol, emulsifier, liquid oil, antioxidant or phospholipid is not added, the content of glabridin is reduced due to the instability of the product, thereby affecting the transdermal permeability, and compared with Example 1, the cumulative transdermal drug release amount at 6h is greatly reduced; as can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 11-13, the type of the components can also affect the performance of the product, when the type of the selected component is not in the present application, specifically, when other polyhydric alcohol, antioxidant or other solid oil is selected, the transdermal drug release amount of the obtained product is poor, and compared with Example 1, the cumulative transdermal drug release amount at 6h is greatly reduced; as can be seen from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 14-16, the preparation process and carrier mode of the product can also affect the performance of the product, when there is no subsequent step of cyclic shearing in Comparative Example 15, compared with Example 1, the cumulative transdermal drug release amount at 6h is reduced by 80.75%; when the common cyclodextrin derivative is used as the raw material in Comparative Example 16, compared with Example 1, the cumulative transdermal drug release amount at 6h is reduced by 77.63%.
