Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medicine and cosmetics, and specifically relates to an Epithalon vitamin B6 coupled derivative and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0003] Epitalon, also known as Epithalon or AEDG peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), is a synthetic peptide derived from epithalamin, a natural substance in the pineal gland of the brain. It was first discovered by scientist Vladimir Khavinson and his team in the 1980s and is known as the "fountain of youth" peptide. It is mainly known for its anti-aging and role as a telomerase activator. It can stimulate the pineal gland to regulate its own function and brain function, and promote the production of telomerase, thereby maintaining telomere length and delaying cell aging. Its biological effects include inducing telomerase activity in human cells in vitro to elongate telomeres and promote heterochromatin depolymerization in elderly lymphocytes. In vivo animal studies can reduce the chromosome aberration rate of aged mice and increase the antioxidant enzyme activity of aged rats. Human clinical studies have shown that it can increase telomere length in blood cells of patients in certain age groups and restore the function of the pineal gland to secrete melatonin. Epitalon can activate telomerase, effectively delay the process of telomere shortening, and inhibit cell aging. Animal studies have shown that it significantly prolongs the lifespan of fruit flies, mice and rats. Neuroprotection is one of the important functions of Epitalon. It can promote neuronal differentiation. Neurons are the basic components of the nervous system, and their differentiation is crucial to the development and function maintenance of the nervous system. Epitalon increases the expression of neuron-related genes by promoting neuronal differentiation, thus providing guarantee for the normal operation of the nervous system. In animal models with hereditary retinitis pigmentosa, it can prolong the functional integrity of the retina, which is of great significance for protecting vision and preventing retinal diseases. Epitalon also plays a positive role in regulating the endocrine system. It can increase the secretion of melatonin in the pineal gland of elderly primates. Melatonin is a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, which plays a key role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, biological clock and various physiological functions of the body. By increasing the secretion of melatonin, Epitalon improves the sleep quality of animals and promotes the health of animals and the normal maintenance of physiological functions. These mechanisms of action of Epitalon are interrelated and synergistic. In the telomerase activation mechanism, it directly intervenes in the core process of cell aging and lays the foundation for other effects. Its antioxidant effect is not only effective in anti-tumor, but also plays an important role in the overall protection of cells, reducing free radical damage to cells and maintaining normal cell function. It regulates gene expression and protein synthesis by binding to histones. This process involves DNA interaction and further promotes the transcription of neural differentiation genes, thus playing a key role in neuroprotection. At the same time, its regulation of the endocrine system, especially its influence on melatonin secretion, is closely related to the overall physiological state of cells and biological clock regulation.

[0004] Pyridoxine is an important water-soluble vitamin, a member of the vitamin B6 family, and plays a vital role in the physiological processes of the human body. Pyridoxine participates in a variety of amino acid metabolic reactions as a coenzyme. It is a coenzyme of many transaminases, which play a key role in the transamination of amino acids, that is, transferring the amino group of one amino acid to another α-keto acid to form new amino acids and α-keto acids. Pyridoxine also plays an important role in glycogen metabolism. It is a coenzyme of glycogen phosphorylase, which catalyzes the decomposition of glycogen into glucose-1-phosphate, which is a key step in glycogen decomposition. When blood sugar levels are low, glycogen is decomposed into glucose to maintain blood sugar stability. Pyridoxine ensures that glycogen can be decomposed in time to provide energy for the body by participating in the catalytic reaction of glycogen phosphorylase. Pyridoxine is essential for the normal function of the nervous system. It is involved in the synthesis of a variety of neurotransmitters, such as serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), dopamine, γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), etc. In the synthesis of serotonin, pyridoxine, in the form of pyridoxal phosphate, participates in the conversion of tryptophan into 5-hydroxytryptophan and then into serotonin as a coenzyme. Neurotransmitters play a key role in regulating emotions, cognitive functions, sleep, etc., so an adequate supply of pyridoxine is important for maintaining the health and normal function of the nervous system. Pyridoxine is also involved in lipid metabolism. It is a coenzyme of certain fatty acid synthases and participates in the synthesis of fatty acids. At the same time, it may regulate lipid metabolism by affecting the expression of genes related to fat metabolism. Normal lipid metabolism is very important for maintaining the body's energy balance, cell membrane integrity, and cardiovascular health. Pyridoxine has a regulatory effect on the immune system. It can enhance the activity of immune cells, such as promoting the proliferation and differentiation of T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. At the same time, it can also regulate inflammatory responses and maintain the balance of the immune system by inhibiting the production of proinflammatory cytokines and promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. The normal function of the immune system is essential for preventing infections and diseases. Pyridoxine has a certain antioxidant capacity. It can participate in the body's antioxidant defense system and remove free radicals by participating in the synthesis of some antioxidant enzymes or participating in antioxidant reactions as a coenzyme. Free radicals are highly active molecules that can damage the cell's DNA, proteins, and lipids, leading to cell aging and disease. Pyridoxine helps protect cells from free radical damage through its antioxidant effect.

[0005] However, both of the above active substances have certain shortcomings that affect their application. Epitalon is an unmodified natural amino acid polypeptide, which is easily degraded by proteases in the body, resulting in a very short half-life, usually only a few minutes to a few hours, which reduces its efficacy; it has high polarity and strong hydrophilicity, making it difficult to pass through the skin barrier, resulting in low bioavailability; non-invasive routes of administration (such as oral and transdermal) are difficult to achieve, and it can usually only be administered through invasive methods such as injection and nasal spray, which makes application inconvenient and reduces the user's convenience and compliance. Pyridoxine has poor stability and is prone to chemical reactions under alkaline conditions, resulting in the destruction of its molecular structure. It is easily oxidized in aqueous solution when exposed to air and oxidizes faster under alkaline conditions. It is easy to decompose under light and heating conditions. There is currently no report that simultaneously solves the above-mentioned shortcomings of Epitalon and pyridoxine. Summary of the invention

[0172] 1. In vitro cytotoxicity assay

[0173] According to GB T16886.5-2017 / ISO10993-5:2009 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 5: In vitro Cytotoxicity Test", the Epithalon vitamin B6 conjugated derivative prepared in Example 6 was subjected to an in vitro cytotoxicity test to verify biocompatibility. The MTT cytotoxicity test evaluation method was used, L929 cells were selected as the cell line, 10% DMSO solution was used as the positive control group, 3% fetal calf serum culture medium was used as the negative control group, and the test group was added with 3% fetal calf serum culture medium extract of the test sample, and cultured at 37°C for 24 hours with shaking.

[0174] The specific experimental steps are as follows: L929 cells cultured for 48 hours were prepared with cell culture medium to produce 1×10 5 Cell suspension of 1×10 5 The 100 μL / mL cell suspension was inoculated into a 96-well cell culture plate (100 μL / well) and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours to form a semi-confluent monolayer; the original culture medium was discarded after 24 hours, and then 100 μL of sample extract, positive control solution, and negative control solution were added, 5 wells per group, and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours. 50 μL of MTT solution was added to each well, and then continued to incubate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 2 hours.

The cell proliferation rate (RGR, %) was calculated and the cytotoxicity was evaluated according to the standards in the table below.

[0176] Table 4 In vitro cytotoxicity grading table

[0177]

[0178] Table 5 In vitro cytotoxicity test results

[0179] sample Toxicity level Experimental Group 4 1 Positive control group 5

[0180] The experimental results are shown in Table 5. The Epithalon vitamin B6 coupled derivatives prepared by the present invention are of Grade 1, which indicates that they all have good biocompatibility and will not produce toxicity or cause toxic residues.

[0181] 2. Stimulation test

[0182] Fifteen healthy rabbits, weighing about 2 kg, were randomly divided into three groups, with 5 rabbits in each group. The hair on both sides of the rabbits' backs was removed 24 hours before the experiment. The skin in the removed area was tested 24 hours after the removal to see if it was injured. Rabbits with injured skin were not suitable for skin irritation experiments. The samples of experimental group 4 and blank group 5 were applied three times a day for 7 consecutive days, and the experimental results were observed. The experimental results are shown in Table 6.

[0183] Table 6 Skin irritation test results

[0184]

[0185] Note: "+" indicates that the rabbits have skin redness, swelling, inflammation and congestion; "++" indicates that the rabbits have skin redness, swelling, inflammation and congestion, and there is an increasing trend; "-" indicates that the rabbits have no skin redness, swelling, inflammation and congestion.

[0186] From the experimental results in Table 6, it can be seen that the samples in Experimental Group 4 are not irritating to the skin, that is, the Epithalon vitamin B6 coupled derivatives of the present invention are not irritating to the skin.

[0187] 3. Transdermal Experiment

[0188] The vertical Franz diffusion cell method was used to conduct the permeation experiment of isolated rat skin. The abdominal skin of SD male rats was fixed between the receiving chamber and the supply chamber, and experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3, and experimental group 4 were placed in the supply chamber. The physiological saline containing 2% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 20% ethanol by mass fraction was used as the receiving liquid and stirred and diffused at 300 speed at 37°C. Samples were taken after 24 hours, and the compounds were detected by HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography). The cumulative penetration amount and permeability of different epithalon, pyridoxine and non-irritating to the skin were calculated. The experimental data are shown in Table 7.

[0189] Table 7 Cumulative permeation of samples in different experimental groups

[0190]

[0191] As shown in Table 7, Epithalon has difficulty in penetrating the stratum corneum of the skin, so its bioavailability is low. Pyridoxine has a slightly stronger transdermal ability. Epithalon and pyridoxine synergistically promote transdermal absorption. The present invention has no irritation to the skin and the permeability can reach 48.6% after 24 hours.

[0192] 4. Evaluation of the effect of improving sleep quality

[0193] The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale was used to evaluate the subjective sleep quality of the above experimental groups: it consists of 19 self-assessment items and 5 other-assessment items, and the 19th self-assessment item and the 5 other-assessment items are not scored. The remaining 18 scored items are divided into 7 dimensions: sleep quality, sleep onset time, sleep time, sleep efficiency, sleep disorders, hypnotic drugs and daytime dysfunction. Each dimension is scored from 0 to 3, and the cumulative score of each dimension is the total PSQI score. In the range of 0 to 21 points, a score of >7 points indicates poor sleep quality, and a score of ≤7 points indicates good sleep quality. When the score before and after the test decreases by ≥3 points, it is considered that the subjective sleep has improved. The results are shown in Table 8.

[0194] Table 8 Sleep improvement test results

[0195]

[0196]

[0197] It can be seen from the test results in Table 8 that the use of pyridoxine hydrochloride and Epithalon stock solution alone has no effect on improving sleep, while Epithalon and pyridoxine can synergistically improve sleep. The Epithalon vitamin B6 coupled derivative prepared in the present application has a significant sleep improvement effect, and the score before and after the test decreased by 8 points, indicating a good sleep improvement effect.
