Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of biomedicine, and particularly relates to a ceramide compound, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Ceramide is a class of amide compounds formed by dehydration of the amino group of sphingosine and a long-chain fatty acid, and exists naturally in the skin. 40-50% of the sebum in the stratum corneum is composed of ceramide, which plays an important role in maintaining the balance of moisture in the stratum corneum.
[0003] It is reported that the evaporation of moisture from the epidermis is achieved through the moisture-maintaining effect of ceramide present in the intercellular lipids. When the concentration of ceramide in the skin decreases, the protective barrier function of the stratum corneum weakens, leading to various dermatological symptoms, such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis symptoms. In addition, due to the decrease in the amount of ceramide, xerosis of the skin occurs, and the defensive function of the skin surface is lost, making it easier for foreign substances to invade and cause secondary skin infections, thereby causing skin rejection reactions. Specifically, the invaders cause cytokines to be released from cells such as keratinocytes, Langerhans cells, and melanocytes in the surface cells, thereby causing inflammatory phenomena. Therefore, in order to maintain and improve the skin barrier, the moisturizing effect of the skin is very important. Compared with ordinary moisturizers, a physiological lipid mixture containing ceramide compounds can promote the restoration of the damaged skin barrier function. Clinical trial results show that it has a similar effect to medium or higher-strength topical steroid preparations in improving the symptoms of atopic dermatitis patients.
[0004] However, at present, the preparation method of ceramide derivatives has many steps, low reaction conversion rate, small reaction scale, and limited purification methods, making it difficult to mass-produce on a large scale.
[0005] Therefore, considering the wide demand for functional ceramide in the market, it is very necessary to research and develop ceramide derivatives that can imitate natural ceramide, solve the problem of its insufficient supply, and enhance its efficacy. Summary of the Invention

[0150] 3. Anti-wrinkle effect of ceramide compounds (type I collagen and matrix metalloproteinases).
[0151] Collagen is one of the main components of the extracellular matrix of the dermis. Dermal fibroblasts synthesize procollagen in the cells and secrete it outside the cells. Under the action of terminal procollagen peptidase, the terminal peptides are separated and polymerized to form collagen fibers. Human dermal fibroblasts can be used as a cell model to study the increase of collagen content in cosmetics. By measuring the increase rate of collagen content after administration of the test substance, the blank control and the test substance, the efficacy of the test substance in promoting collagen synthesis can be evaluated. Collagen can support the skin and keep the skin firm and smooth. However, after being stimulated by external stimuli such as ultraviolet rays, the collagen level will decrease, so the firmness of the skin can be judged by detecting the collagen level.
[0152] The degradation of the extracellular matrix mainly relies on proteolytic enzymes, and MMPs are the most important group of proteolytic enzymes, among which MMP-1 is the most important enzyme for degrading type I collagen. When MMP-1 is overexpressed, it specifically degrades extracellular matrix components, destroys the normal structure of collagen fibers and elastic fibers, and causes wrinkles and other aging manifestations on the skin. Therefore, when MMP-1 expression is inhibited, it can play an anti-wrinkle role.
[0153] Experimental procedure: In this method, a cell model was established with UVA modeling as negative and TGF-β as positive. The content of collagen secreted by cells was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the firming effect of cosmetic raw materials was judged according to the expression changes of collagen content. Fibroblasts (HFF-1) were cultured in DMEM complete medium (from Hyclone) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, from Gibco). Well-shaped HFF-1 cells were taken and prepared into a cell suspension with complete medium, inoculated into a 6-well plate at a density of 200,000 cells per well, 2 mL per well, and placed in a 5% CO 2 , and cultured in an incubator at 37°C for 24 h, irradiated with a UVA lamp (34 J / cm 2 ), and then 2 mL of TGF-β (100 ng / mL), compound V a (100 μg / mL), compound V b (100 μg / mL), compound V c (100 μg / mL), compound V d (100 μg / mL), compound V e (100 μg / mL), compound V f (100 μg / mL), compound V g (100 μg / mL), compound V
[0154] were added. Each group was set with 3 replicate wells. After incubation in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 h, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation at 1000 rpm and 4°C for 20 min. According to the operation instructions of the ELISA kit, the concentration of type I collagen and matrix metalloproteinase was measured, and the experimental results were statistically analyzed by GraphPad Prism. Figure 4 Experimental results: As shown in a and Table 7, after UVA irradiation, the collagen content in fibroblasts decreased significantly. Compared with the negative control (UVA group), ceramide compounds could increase the collagen concentration to different extents. Compared with the negative control (UVA group), in the compound V b group, compound V c group, compound V d group, compound V e group, compound V f group, compound V g group at 100 μg / mL, the collagen concentrations increased by 21.7%, 103.51%, 87.71%, 141.21%, 83.41%, 42.24%, and 42.7% respectively, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Compared with the UVA group: "**", P < 0.01; "****", P < 0.0001). Compound V aGroup, Compound V b Group, Compound V c Group, Compound V d Group, Compound V e Group, Compound V f Group, Compound V g The group can significantly increase the cellular collagen content and has the effect of anti-wrinkle.

It shows that Compound V b Group has a better anti-wrinkle effect than Compound V a Group, Compound V c Group, Compound V e Group, Compound V f Group, Compound V g Group has a more excellent anti-wrinkle effect.
[0156] As shown in Table 7 and Table 9, Compound V d Group and Compound V a Group, Compound V b Group, Compound V c Group, Compound V e Group, Compound V f Group, Compound V g Group has a higher level of type I collagen and there are significant differences compared with the other groups.

[0173] IV. Moisturizing ability of ceramide compounds - AQP3.
[0174] Skin barrier function is crucial for maintaining skin health, and hydration plays a central role in maintaining skin barrier function, regulating skin elasticity, and preventing skin dryness. Skin hydration depends not only on the action of exogenous moisturizing components but also on endogenous mechanisms. The metabolic activities and gene expressions of keratinocytes are crucial for maintaining skin hydration.
[0175] Moisturizing aims to maintain the water balance of the skin and prevent dryness and damage. Moisturizing products act on the skin through multiple mechanisms, including increasing skin water content, reducing water loss, and improving skin barrier function. AQP3 (aquaporin 3) is a channel protein located on the cell membrane, and its main function is to promote the rapid transport of water molecules. It plays an important role in skin hydration and barrier function. The expression of AQP3 is closely related to the hydration state of the skin, and its expression level in the skin is related to the degree of skin dryness. Therefore, AQP3 can directly reflect the moisturizing effect of raw materials.
[0176] This method determines the moisturizing effect of cosmetic raw materials by culturing HaCaT cells, adding cosmetic raw materials, incubating for a certain time, extracting total cellular RNA, and detecting the gene expression level of AQP3, and judging according to the change of AQP3.
[0177] Experimental procedure: Keratinocytes (Hacat) were cultured in DMEM complete medium (from Hyclone) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, from Gibco). Well-shaped Hacat cells were taken and made into a cell suspension with complete medium, and inoculated into a 6-well plate at a density of 500,000 cells per well, 2 mL per well. After inoculation into the 6-well plate, it was placed in a 5% CO 2 , 37 °C incubator for 24 h, irradiated with a UVA lamp (34 J / cm 2 ), and then 2 mL of compound V a (100 μg / mL), compound V b (100 μg / mL), compound V c (100 μg / mL), compound V d (100 μg / mL), compound V e (100 μg / mL), compound V f (100 μg / mL), compound V g (100 μg / mL) were added. Each group was set with 3 replicate wells. After incubation in a carbon dioxide incubator for 24 h, it was washed once with PBS. RNA in fibroblasts was extracted according to the instructions of the column method RNA extraction kit, and RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA according to the reverse transcription kit. Finally, 1 μL of cDNA, 0.5 μL of AQP3 upstream primer (5'-TCTTTGACCAGTTCATAGGCAC-3'), 0.5 μL of AQP3 downstream primer (5'-GGCAGGGTTGACGGCATAG-3'), 3 μL of dd H 2 O, 5 μL of PowerUp TM SYB R TM Green Master Mix were added to the qPCR plate. The experiment was completed on a qPCR instrument, and the relative content of mRNA was analyzed by the ΔΔCt method.
[0178] Experimental results: As shown in Figure 6 and Table 13, the expression of AQP3 in the compound V a group, compound V b group, compound V c group, compound V d group, compound V e group, compound V f group, compound V g group increased significantly. Compared with the negative control (UVA group), ceramide compounds could reduce the expression of MMP-1 to different extents. Compared with the Control group, in the compound V a group, compound V b group, compound V cGroup, Compound V d Group, Compound V e Group, Compound V f Group, Compound V g For the group, at 100 μg / mL, the AQP3 concentrations increased by 15.54%, 96.58%, 85.44%, 109.06%, 76.29%, 50.79%, and 50.25% respectively. And there were significant differences (P < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Compared with the Control group: "*", P < 0.05; "****", P < 0.0001). Compound V a Group, Compound V b Group, Compound V c Group, Compound V d Group, Compound V e Group, Compound V f Group, Compound V g The group can significantly promote the expression of AQP3 and has a moisturizing effect.
