Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a preparation method and application of royal jelly acid double-wrapped bodies and belongs to the technical field of cosmetics. BACKGROUND

[0002] Royal jelly, also known as bee milk, is a yellowish-white, milky acid secretion secreted by the pharyngeal gland and the mandibular gland of a worker bee aged 5 to 15 days. Royal jelly acid, namely 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA), is an unsaturated fatty acid in royal jelly. Studies have shown that royal jelly acid has strong biological activity in terms of bacteriostasis, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, whitening and the like, and has a wide application prospect. However, royal jelly acid has poor water solubility and oil solubility, and many application problems have been exposed in the daily experiment and product preparation process, such as small addition amount, difficulty in application in transparent water agent, poor stability and easy precipitation and the like.

[0003] In the prior art, patent application CN 117338613 A provides a composition for improving the solubility of royal jelly acid in water, which can effectively solve the application problem of royal jelly acid in transparent water agent and has excellent stability, but the composition contains a large amount of surfactant, which has the risk of strong irritation. At present, the cosmetic industry often solves the problems of poor solubility and stability of raw materials through liposome, microcapsule, cyclodextrin and the like wrapping technologies and the combination of various wrapping carriers, and can increase the transdermal absorption rate of active substances to a certain extent with the advantages of nano preparations. Patent application CN 117462450 A discloses a preparation method and application of royal jelly acid double-modified chitosan microspheres. The method can increase the solubility of royal jelly acid in water, but organic solvents are used in the preparation process, which increases the risk of environmental pollution and may cause certain organic solvent residues, which can easily cause skin irritation. In addition, the single delivery mode still has the problems of low drug loading, large addition amount in product application, increased application cost and instability. Patent application CN 115666602 A provides a colloidal system of royal jelly, which adopts double-wrapping technology, but the wrapped royal jelly is a water-soluble substance, and the content of royal jelly acid in the royal jelly is low, only 1.4-2.4%, which leads to low actual drug loading of royal jelly acid in the wrapping system, poor stability and compatibility, and is not conducive to subsequent use.

[0004] In the prior art, most of the double wrapping technology of liposome-cyclodextrin is to first use cyclodextrin to fully wrap the active substance, then use the cyclodextrin inclusion as a single substance, and then use the liposome to wrap, which is equivalent to liposome wrapping of water-soluble ingredients, and the wrapped ingredients only exist in the water phase. In addition, the active substance that is not wrapped in the first step of the cyclodextrin system is often in a precipitated state, and a solvent with high solubility for the ingredient needs to be used for subsequent liposome wrapping, which will extract the active ingredient from the cyclodextrin inclusion, resulting in an unstable system.

[0005] Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the application provides a preparation method and application of royal jelly acid double wrapping. The royal jelly acid double wrapping in the application is wrapped with phospholipid lipids and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, so that the wrapped royal jelly acid is not only distributed in the water phase (wrapped by hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin), but also distributed in the oil phase (the interlayer of the phospholipid bilayer), has a high drug loading capacity, and can effectively improve the solubility of royal jelly acid. The royal jelly acid double wrapping in the application can be flexibly applied to transparent water and cream products, has good stability, can promote the penetration of royal jelly acid, and improves the skin care effect.

[0023] According to the application, preferably, in step S6, the pressure for high-pressure homogenization is 750-900bar.

[0024] In the third aspect of the application, the above-mentioned royal jelly acid double-wrapped body is applied in cosmetics.

[0025] According to the application, preferably, the cosmetics include transparent water agent products or cream products.

[0026] Beneficial effects:

[0027] The royal jelly acid double-encapsulated complex prepared in this invention is obtained by co-encapsulating royal jelly acid with a phospholipid phase and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.

[0092] Experimental example:

[0093] I. Stability tests of samples from Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 and 7

[0094] 1. Experimental method: The samples prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 and 7 were placed under the following conditions for observation: 45℃, room temperature (RT), 4℃, -20℃, hot and cold cycling (-18℃, 4℃, 45℃, 24h at each temperature) and light (4500±500Lux). The observation period was 30 days.

[0095] 2. Experimental Results: The results are shown in Table 2. Samples from Examples 1-3 maintained good condition under room temperature, thermal cycling, 45℃, -20℃, light exposure, and 4℃ conditions, without precipitation or turbidity. They remained stable for 30 days under all six test conditions. Comparative Example 1 showed yellowing and a significant decrease in clarity under both 45℃ and thermal cycling conditions within the 30-day observation period, indicating that exceeding a certain range and ratio of hydrogenated lecithin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin affects sample stability. Comparative Example 2 failed to emulsify uniformly, Comparative Example 3 showed significant precipitation at room temperature within 24 hours, and Comparative Example 4 showed precipitation under low-temperature (4℃, -20℃, thermal cycling) tests within 30 days. These results demonstrate that using single liposomes, nanoemulsions, or cyclodextrin inclusion complexes cannot stably encapsulate 5% royal jelly acid. Comparative Example 5 precipitated at room temperature within 24 hours, and the sample became turbid, indicating that the method of first encapsulating royal jelly acid with hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and then loading it as a water-soluble component into liposomes cannot support a large amount of pure royal jelly acid. Comparative Example 7 precipitated and separated after preparation, indicating that the colloidal system provided in patent application CN 115666602 A is not suitable for encapsulating pure royal jelly acid, let alone loading 5.0% royal jelly acid. The reason why the samples prepared in Examples 1-3 can remain stable for 30 days may be that the simultaneous encapsulation of royal jelly acid with phospholipid phase and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in this invention ensures that the encapsulated royal jelly acid is not only encapsulated in hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin but also widely distributed in the interlayer of the phospholipid bilayer, which is beneficial to the stability of the encapsulation system and can also overcome the limitations of using royal jelly acid.

[0098] Note: "√" indicates that the stability result is normal, and " / " indicates that observation will no longer continue after instability occurs.

[0099] II. Particle size and potential determination of sample in Example 3

[0100] 1. Experimental Methods: The particle size and distribution, polydispersity index (PDI), and zeta potential of the sample from Example 3 were measured using a BeNano 90Zeta nanoparticle size and zeta potential analyzer from Dandong Baite. The test angle was 90°, and the experimental temperature was 25°C. The sample was filtered through a 450nm filter membrane, placed in the sample cell, and equilibrated for 1 minute under the set instrument parameters. The measurement was repeated 3 times, and the data were recorded. Before measurement, the sample was diluted 10 times with ultrapure water to avoid interference from multiple scattering phenomena.

[0101] 2. Experimental results: such as Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the particle size of the sample in Example 3 is in the range of 50-200 nm, with an average particle size of (66.0±2.0) nm, a Zeta potential of (-10.5±1.3) mV, and a polydispersity index of 0.258. The surface charge of the sample in Example 3 is a moderate negative ion, indicating that it has good stability, and the PDI<0.3 indicates that the system has reasonable size uniformity.

[0102] III. Raman spectral morphology of sample in Example 3

[0103] 1. Experimental Methods: Characteristic peaks of the two wall materials used in Example 3, hydrogenated lecithin and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, were traced using Raman spectroscopy, and peaks showing inherent differences were selected for calibration. The degree of encapsulation of the active ingredients and the distribution of the encapsulating wall materials were analyzed using Raman imaging.

[0104] 2. Experimental Results: The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, red, green, and orange represent the signals of royal jelly acid, hydrogenated lecithin, and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, respectively. The results indicate that some royal jelly acid is encapsulated within the internal cavity of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, while some royal jelly acid is dissolved in polyols and distributed within the palisade layer of the liposomes. Furthermore, some royal jelly acid-cyclodextrin inclusion complexes exist within the internal water cavities of the liposomes. The two systems are mutually integrated, maintaining stability.

[0105] IV. Safety Evaluation of Sample 3 in Example 3

[0106] 1. Experimental Methods: This study employed the reaction time method. Nine-day-old chicken embryos were candled, and the air cell location was marked on the eggshell surface. The marked portion of the eggshell was then peeled off using dental serrated forceps to expose the white egg membrane. A suitable amount of 0.9% NaCl solution was drawn using a pipette to moisten the egg membrane, and the solution was then poured out. The inner membrane was carefully removed with forceps, ensuring no damage to the vascular membrane. 0.3 mL of the test reagent (10% aqueous solution of the sample from Example 3) was added to the surface of the chorioallantoic membrane. The time to the onset of hemorrhage, vascular lysis, and coagulation within 5 minutes was recorded, and video and photographs were taken during this period.

[0107] 2. Experimental results: such as Figure 4 As shown, the test results of the 10% concentration of the royal jelly acid double-encapsulated aqueous solution in Example 3 showed that it was non-irritating.

[0108] V. Raman permeation experiment of royal jelly acid in samples of Example 4 and Comparative Example 9 on human skin

[0109] 1. Experimental Methods: Raman spectroscopy was used to trace the characteristic peaks of the samples from Example 4 and Comparative Example 9 applied to human skin, and characteristic peaks that differed from those on the skin itself were selected for calibration. Raman image analysis was used to determine the permeability of the active substance royal jelly acid in human skin after application of the samples from Example 4 and Comparative Example 9, thereby calculating the cumulative permeability of royal jelly acid in Example 4 and Comparative Example 9.

[0110] 2. Experimental results: as shown in Table 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the penetration effect of royal jelly acid in the sample of Example 4 is better than that in the sample of Comparative Example 9. When the royal jelly acid of Example 4 and Comparative Example 9 is applied to human skin for 10 hours, the cumulative penetration rate is 8.77% and 6.04%, respectively. The royal jelly acid in Example 4 continues to penetrate into each dermal layer within 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours and 10 hours, and the distribution is more uniform. This indicates that the royal jelly acid double encapsulation provided by the present invention has better penetration performance than pure royal jelly acid.

[0113] VI. Effects of Samples from Example 3, Comparative Examples 6 and 8, and Pure Royal Jelly Acid on the Content of Type IV Collagen in Isolated Skin Tissue

[0114] 1. Experimental Methods: A skin photoaging model was established by irradiating isolated skin tissue with a combination of UVA and UVB rays. A blank control group and a negative control group (30 J / cm²) were included in the experiment. 2 UVA +50mJ / cm 2 UVB) and sample group (30J / cm) 2 UVA +50mJ / cm 2 UVB (Example 3 / Comparative Example 6 / Comparative Example 8 / Pure Royal Jelly Acid), 3 replicates per group. After culturing ex vivo skin tissue for 2 days, except for the blank control group, the other groups began irradiation and drug administration. The daily irradiation dose was UVA 30 J / cm². 2 and UVB 50mJ / cm 2During irradiation, the culture medium was discarded and replaced with PBS buffer. UVA irradiation was performed first, followed by UVB irradiation, for four consecutive days. After each irradiation, the culture medium was replaced with fresh medium, and surface drug administration was performed. Different groups of test solutions were added to the surface of the ex vivo skin tissue, with a volume of 2 μL. After four days of continuous irradiation, the ex vivo skin tissue was cultured for another three days, receiving only drug administration without irradiation. After culture, the surface of the ex vivo skin tissue was washed to remove any remaining test solution and residual liquid. The tissue was fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, then embedded and sectioned. After dewaxing, COL-IV immunofluorescence staining was performed, and images were taken under a fluorescence microscope within 24 hours. Three images from different fields of view were acquired. The relative IOD of the target signal in the images was analyzed using Ipwin32 image analysis software, and the average value was calculated. Using the blank control group as a baseline, the relative IOD / area average was calculated to characterize the relative protein expression level. In this study, the test concentrations of Example 3, Comparative Example 6, Comparative Example 8, and pure royal jelly acid were 1.25% (royal jelly acid content was 0.0625%), stock solution (royal jelly acid content was approximately 0.08%), 1.25% (royal jelly acid content was 0.0625%), and 0.0625%, respectively. The diluent was EpiGrowth culture medium, and the test solutions for the blank control group and negative control group were EpiGrowth culture medium.

[0115] 2. Experimental Results: As a key component of the skin's basement membrane, type IV collagen acts as an "invisible scaffold" for the skin, maintaining its youthful appearance. (See Table 4 and...) Figure 6 As shown, after ultraviolet stimulation, the content of type IV collagen in the negative control group was significantly lower than that in the blank control group (P<0.01), proving the successful modeling of the skin photoaging model. After ultraviolet stimulation, compared with the negative control group, the content of type IV collagen was significantly increased after adding the samples of Example 3, Comparative Examples 6 and 8, and pure royal jelly acid to the photoaging model of isolated skin tissue (P<0.01). Among them, the increase rates of type IV collagen by the samples of Example 3, Comparative Examples 6 and 8, and pure royal jelly acid were 90.57%, 69.81%, 71.70%, and 67.92%, respectively. The above results show that the royal jelly acid double encapsulation in this invention can significantly increase the content of type IV collagen in the photoaging isolated skin model, provide mechanical support for the skin, maintain the youthful state of the skin, and the effect is better than the colloidal system of Comparative Example 6, the physical mixing system of Comparative Example 8, and pure royal jelly acid with the same encapsulation amount as the double encapsulation.
