[0038] Nrf2 Nrf2, short for "Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2", is a transcription factor that plays an important role in cells. Nrf2 plays a key role in the cellular oxidative stress response. By interacting with the antioxidant response element (ARE), it regulates the expression of antioxidant proteins and phase II detoxifying enzymes, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress damage.
[0039] Nrf2 plays multiple important roles in biology. First, it is a key regulator in the cellular oxidative stress response. Under oxidative stress conditions, Nrf2 is activated and enters the nucleus to bind to ARE, initiating the expression of a series of anti-oxidation genes and phase I detoxifying enzymes, thus enhancing the antioxidant defense ability of cells. Second, Nrf2 is also involved in regulating cell proliferation, inflammatory responses, and various metabolic processes. For example, in cancer research, it has been found that the activity of Nrf2 usually increases, providing a growth advantage for cells and promoting the progression and metastasis of cancer. In addition, Nrf2 is also closely related to the occurrence and development of various diseases such as reproductive system diseases and cardiovascular diseases.
[0040] Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (Trpv1) External stimuli or endogenous substances including bradykinin, nerve growth factor, etc. can activate TRPV1, thereby causing an influx of Ca 2+ ions, resulting in increased skin permeability and a stinging and burning sensation. At the same time, TRPV1 also promotes the release of neurogenic inflammatory factors including substance P, further inducing the secretion of inflammatory factors and causing local capillary dilation. Currently, most of the cosmetic raw materials developed for neurogenic skin sensitivity are TRPV1 expression inhibitors or functional antagonists. By detecting a decrease in its expression level, it shows that the active substance has anti-allergic and soothing effects in relieving facial discomfort.
[0041] The main advantages of the present invention include: 1. The preparation method of the Terminalia chebula wrapped solution provided by the present invention is simple, without using strongly irritating organic solvents, and has no irritation when used transdermally, and the cell viability of tissues is higher.
[0042] 2. The Terminalia chebula wrapped solution provided by the present invention improves the activity of the Terminalia chebula extract, especially in terms of increasing the content of Nrf2 and inhibiting the expression of the content of TRPV1. The Terminalia chebula wrapped solution shows an equivalent effect to the Terminalia chebula extract at a lower concentration.
[0043] 3. The Terminalia chebula wrapped solution provided by the present invention has better antioxidant and anti-aging effects on transdermal products.
[0044] The present invention will be further described below in connection with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. For the experimental methods without specific conditions noted in the following embodiments, they are generally carried out under conventional conditions, such as those described in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual (New York: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 1989), or according to the conditions recommended by the manufacturer. Unless otherwise stated, percentages and parts are calculated by weight.
[0045] Unless otherwise defined, all professional and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those familiar to persons skilled in the art. In addition, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described may be applied in the method of the present invention. The preferred methods and materials described herein are for illustrative purposes only.
[0046] Example 1 Weigh 10 g of Terminalia chebula Retz., add 100 ml of 65% ethanol; reflux and extract at 80 °C for 2.0 hours; naturally filter the obtained extract through a 300-mesh sieve to obtain a filtrate; for the remaining filter residue, add 100 ml of 65% ethanol and reflux and extract at 80 °C for 2.0 hours. Combine the filtrates and concentrate under reduced pressure (50 °C - 70 °C, vacuum pressure 0.060 - 0.08 Mpa) to obtain an extract, and concentrate to 10 g. Filter the above concentrate through a 0.45-μm membrane to obtain a filtrate. Lyophilize the above filtrate, use gallic acid as a reference substance, and test the content of galloyl glucoside components to be 75.12% (calculated based on the mass of the freeze-dried powder), and the extraction rate is 90.61%.
[0047] Example 2 Weigh 10 g of Terminalia chebula Retz., add 100 mL of water; extract at 80 °C for 2.0 hours; naturally filter the obtained extract through a 300-mesh sieve to obtain a filtrate; for the remaining filter residue, add 100 ml of water and reflux and extract at 80 °C for 2.0 hours. Combine the filtrates and concentrate under reduced pressure (50 °C - 70 °C, vacuum pressure 0.060 - 0.08 Mpa) to obtain an extract, and concentrate to 10 g. Filter the above concentrate through a 0.45-μm membrane to obtain a filtrate. Lyophilize the above filtrate, use gallic acid as a reference substance, and test the content of galloyl glucoside components to be 46.98%, and the extraction rate is 66.82%.
[0048] Example 3 Weigh 10 g of Terminalia chebula Retz., add 100 mL of 75% ethanol; extract at 80 °C for 2.0 hours; naturally filter the obtained extract through a 300-mesh sieve to obtain a filtrate; for the remaining filter residue, add 100 mL of 75% ethanol, and reflux extract at 80 °C for 2.0 hours. Combine the filtrates and concentrate under reduced pressure (50 °C - 70 °C, vacuum pressure 0.060~0.08 Mpa) to obtain an extract, and concentrate it to 10 g. Filter the above concentrated solution through a 0.45-μm membrane to obtain a filtrate. Freeze-dry the above filtrate. Using gallic acid as a reference substance, test the content of galloylglucosides to be 50.12%, and the extraction rate is 88.76%.
[0049] As can be seen from the results of Examples 1-3, in the heating reflux extraction method, 65% ethanol is the optimal extraction solvent, and the highest content of galloylglucosides in the extract is 75.12%. When the ethanol concentration increases, the content of galloylglucosides in the extract will instead decrease to 50.12%. Increasing the polarity of the extraction solvent will also reduce the yield of galloylglucosides. For example, when water is used as the extraction solvent, the content of galloylglucosides in the extract decreases to 46.98%.
[0050] Example 4 Take 3% of the Terminalia chebula Retz. extract (prepared in Example 1, calculated by the mass of the freeze-dried powder), 3.0% lecithin and 10% caprylic / capric triglyceride, mix them, and stir to dissolve them fully under heating conditions at 70 °C to prepare Phase A (the percentage is by mass ratio and based on the total amount of the whole encapsulation); at room temperature, mix 40% water, 3% hexylene glycol and 0.5% p-hydroxyacetophenone, and stir to dissolve them fully to prepare Phase B; at room temperature, mix 20% polysorbate-80 and 5% glycerol, and stir evenly to prepare Phase C; under slow stirring, slowly add Phase A to Phase C to form a homogeneous state to obtain Phase A+C; under slow stirring, slowly add Phase B to the above Phase A+C, and make up the rest with water to 100%. First, pre-emulsify, then homogenize at 1500 bar for 30 min and then switch to mechanical stirring; cool to room temperature, degas, stir evenly and then let it stand and age for 24 hours. Obtain the Terminalia chebula Retz. encapsulation liquid, which naturally settles at room temperature and does not precipitate within 2 months, and the solution is homogeneous. Centrifuge for 30 minutes (10000 r / min) without precipitation, and the solution is homogeneous. The color chromaticity value of the 10% aqueous solution is 5.04.
[0051] Example 5 Take 3% of the Terminalia chebula extract (prepared in Example 1, calculated by the mass of the freeze-dried powder), 3.0% lecithin and 10% caprylic / capric triglyceride, mix them, and stir to dissolve them completely under heating conditions at 70 °C to prepare Phase A; at room temperature, mix 40% water, 3% hexylene glycol and 0.5% p-hydroxyacetophenone, and stir to dissolve them completely to prepare Phase B; at room temperature, mix 20% polysorbate-80 and 5% glycerol, stir evenly to prepare Phase C; under slow stirring, slowly add Phase A to Phase C to form a homogeneous state to obtain Phase A+C; under slow stirring, slowly add Phase B to the above Phase A+C, and make up the rest with water to 100%. First, pre-emulsify, then homogenize at 500 bar for 30 min and then switch to mechanical stirring; cool to room temperature, degas, stir evenly and then let it stand for aging for 24 hours. Obtain the Terminalia chebula encapsulation liquid, let it settle naturally at room temperature, and precipitate within 1 month. Centrifuge for 30 minutes (10,000 r / min) without precipitation, and the solution is homogeneous.
[0052] Example 6 Take 3% (prepared in Example 1, calculated by the mass of the freeze-dried powder) of the Terminalia chebula extract, 1.0% lecithin and 8% caprylic / capric triglyceride, mix them, and stir to dissolve them completely under heating conditions at 70 °C to prepare Phase A; at room temperature, mix 40% water, 3% hexylene glycol and 0.5% p-hydroxyacetophenone, and stir to dissolve them completely to prepare Phase B; at room temperature, mix 20% polysorbate-80 and 2% glycerol, stir evenly to prepare Phase C; under slow stirring, slowly add Phase A to Phase C to form a homogeneous state to obtain Phase A+C; under slow stirring, slowly add Phase B to the above Phase A+C, and make up the rest with water to 100%. First, pre-emulsify, then homogenize at 1500 bar for 30 min and then switch to mechanical stirring; cool to room temperature, degas, stir evenly and then let it stand for aging for 24 hours. Obtain the Terminalia chebula encapsulation liquid, let it settle naturally at room temperature, and precipitate within 1 month. Centrifuge for 30 minutes (10,000 r / min) without precipitation, and the solution is homogeneous.
[0053] From the results of Example 4 and Example 6, it can be seen that the concentrations of lecithin and caprylic / capric triglyceride in Phase A will affect the stability of the Terminalia chebula encapsulation liquid. The optimal concentration of lecithin is 10%, and the optimal concentration of caprylic / capric triglyceride is 10%. After the contents of lecithin and caprylic / capric triglyceride decrease, the stability of the Terminalia chebula encapsulation liquid decreases, and precipitation occurs within 1 month.
[0054] From the results of Example 5 and Example 6, it can be seen that the pressure of high-pressure homogenization during the stirring process will affect the stability of the Terminalia chebula encapsulation liquid. The higher the pressure, the better the stability effect, and the optimal pressure condition is 1500 bar. When the pressure is reduced to 500 bar, the stability of the Terminalia chebula encapsulation liquid decreases, and precipitation occurs within 1 month.

[0070] 1.2 Experimental results Table 3 Summary of the results of Nrf2 immunofluorescence analysis
[0071] Note: Integrated optical density (IOD), the value of which reflects the content of Nrf2. When using the t-test method for statistical analysis, compared with the BC group, the significance is indicated by #, P-value < 0.05 is indicated by #, and P-value < 0.01 is indicated by ##; compared with the NC group, the significance is indicated by *, P-value < 0.05 is indicated by *, and P-value < 0.01 is indicated by **.
[0072] The experimental results are as Figure 3 shown in and Table 3. It can be seen that both the Terminalia chebula extract and the Terminalia chebula encapsulation solution have the active effect of increasing the content of Nrf2, and the active effect of the Terminalia chebula encapsulation solution in increasing the content of Nrf2 is greater than that of the unencapsulated Terminalia chebula extract at a lower concentration, increasing from 64.81% to 118.52%, which is equivalent to the effect of vitamin E.

[0075] 2.1.2 Administration: Discard the culture medium in each well of the plate. Add normal culture medium to the blank well and negative control, add capsazepine to the positive control, and add samples with different concentrations in Table 4 to the sample groups. After adding the drugs, continue to culture in a CO2 cell incubator for 24 h, and then perform the MTT cell toxicity assay. Read the absorbance OD value at 490 nm. Calculate the cell survival rate. Only culture medium is added to the blank well. Use the sample concentration with a cell viability ≥ 90% for subsequent efficacy detection.
[0076] 2.1.3 Detection: Adjust cells at a certain concentration (see Table 5 specifically) and re-seed them into a 96-well plate. After 24 h ± 1 h, when the cells adhere to the wall, perform grouped administration and proceed to the next experiment. Set 3 replicate wells for each group.

[0078] 2.1.4 Sample collection: At the end of the 24-h culture, collect the supernatant for ELISA detection. Collect 150 μL of supernatant from each well into a 1.5-mL centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 10,000 rPm for 10 min before ELISA detection, and collect the supernatant for the experiment.
[0079] 2.1.5 ELISA detection: TRPV1 detection was selected for this experiment. Perform the experiment according to the kit instructions.
[0080] 2.2 Data processing 2.2.1 Cell viability (%) = OD of the sample group 490 / OD of the negative control group 490 * 100% Note: The blank well is deducted from each group of data. 2.2.2 Inhibition rate (%) = (1 - sample group / model group) * 100% 2.3 Experimental results Table 6 Results of Trpv1 inhibition rate
[0081] As can be seen from the above experimental results, the inhibition rates of Terminalia chebula Retz. extract at concentrations of 0.078 mg / mL, 0.039 mg / mL, and 0.020 mg / mL on Trpv1 were 50.35% ± 1.65%, 34.76% ± 1.51%, and 21.05% ± 0.47% respectively. Compared with the model group, P < 0.05, showing significant differences. The inhibition rates of the Terminalia chebula Retz. encapsulated liquid at concentrations of 0.00234%, 0.00117%, and 0.0006% on TRPV1 were 45.02% ± 3.77%, 31.94% ± 0.49%, and 25.07% ± 0.96% respectively. Compared with the model group, P < 0.05, showing significant differences. It indicates that both the Terminalia chebula Retz. encapsulated liquid and the Terminalia chebula Retz. extract have the effect of inhibiting the expression of TRPV1 content, and their inhibition rates on Trpv1 are 25 - 55%, showing anti-allergic, soothing, and analgesic effects.
[0082] In addition, the inhibitory effect of the Terminalia chebula Retz. encapsulated liquid is better than that of the unencapsulated Terminalia chebula Retz. extract. When the inhibitory effects are equivalent, the dosage of the Terminalia chebula Retz. encapsulated liquid is 1 / 33 of that of the unencapsulated Terminalia chebula Retz. extract, with a lower dosage, suggesting that the Terminalia chebula Retz. encapsulated liquid of the present invention can achieve improved administration effects.

Add 2000 uL of basal medium to each well in the blank control group (BC) and the negative control group (NC), add 2000 uL of the positive control sample to each well in the positive control group, and add 2000 uL of the corresponding concentration sample to each of the 2 replicate wells for each concentration in the experimental group, then put it back into the incubator for culture (37 °C, 5% CO2); 3.1.5 UVA irradiation: Take out the 24-well plates after 1 h. According to the experimental grouping, perform UVA irradiation at 20 J / cm 2 on the negative control group (NC), positive control group (PC) and experimental group, and the blank control group (BC) is not irradiated. Incubate overnight in an incubator.
[0088] 3.1.6 Fluorescent staining of type I collagen 3.1.7 Data processing and analysis: Analyze the fluorescent expression intensity of type I collagen in each group using Image J, plot graphs using GraphPad Prism software, and perform statistical analysis using T-test between groups. # P < 0.05 indicates significant difference, ## P < 0.01 indicates extremely significant difference, ### P < 0.001 indicates highly significant difference.
[0089] 3.2 Experimental results The experimental results are shown in Figure 4 . Compared with the UVA irradiation group, the Terminalia chebula extract and the Terminalia chebula encapsulation solution have an obvious inhibitory effect on the decrease of type I collagen in UVA-induced 3T3 fibroblasts. It shows that under the experimental conditions, the Terminalia chebula extract and the Terminalia chebula encapsulation solution have an inhibitory effect on the loss of type I collagen in the photoaging model of UVA-induced 3T3 fibroblasts and have an anti-wrinkle effect. When the fluorescent expression intensity of type I collagen is 39 AU, the dosage of the Terminalia chebula extract is 1.38 times that of the Terminalia chebula encapsulation solution, proving that the Terminalia chebula encapsulation solution has a better effect and a better inhibitory effect on the decrease of type I collagen.
