Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of anti-aging, and particularly relates to an anti-aging EGCG nano-composition, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art

[0002] When the skin is chronically subjected to harmful stimuli such as air pollution, oxidation, ultraviolet irradiation, etc., skin aging is likely to occur. Skin aging is mainly manifested in appearance as skin dryness, relaxation, wrinkles, pigment deposition, etc. Therefore, "anti-aging" has always been a hot topic of concern.

[0003] The decline of mitochondrial function is considered to be an important link in the aging mechanism. With the increase of age and oxidative stress, the function of mitochondria gradually decreases, leading to the decline of cell function, and then causing the decline of tissue and organ functions, and finally manifested as aging. The skin is the largest organ on the surface of the human body. Therefore, by activating the mitochondrial function in skin cells and providing energy for skin cells, skin anti-aging can be effectively achieved.

[0004] Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a catechin compound and is the component with the highest content in catechins, accounting for 50-60%. EGCG has a special stereochemical structure and has very strong antioxidant activity. It can protect cells and mitochondrial DNA from oxidative stress, activate the mitochondrial function in skin cells, and provide energy for the skin, thereby delaying skin aging. However, in practical applications, EGCG has problems such as poor stability and low transdermal absorption and utilization. In addition, due to the obstruction of the cell membrane, as a small molecule active ingredient, EGCG often can only enter the cell to reach the mitochondrial target by diffusion, and the diffusion efficiency is low. Therefore, its cell uptake efficiency is low, resulting in low bioavailability. In the prior art, dosage forms such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, and ethosomes are used to encapsulate EGCG, which can provide the stability and transdermal permeability of EGCG. However, there are no relevant reports on how to improve the cell uptake efficiency of EGCG and its bioavailability.

[0005] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a carrier strategy that can improve the cell uptake efficiency of EGCG, enhance the bioavailability of active ingredients, and thus achieve a better and longer-lasting anti-aging effect, so that EGCG can better play its role in the fields of cosmetics, skin care and repair. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an anti-aging EGCG nano-composition, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. The anti-aging EGCG nano-composition of the present invention has a high EGCG encapsulation rate, high transdermal penetration performance, high cell uptake rate, good protection effect on mitochondria, and long-lasting anti-aging performance.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: In a first aspect, the present invention provides an anti-aging EGCG nano-composition, which includes a carrier, an active ingredient and a stabilizer. In terms of mass percentage, the content of the carrier is 0.5 - 5%, and the content of the active ingredient is 0.5 - 5%; the carrier is a block polymer, and the active ingredient is EGCG; The general formula of the block polymer is Y n -X m -X m -Y n , where the X m is a hydrophobic block, and the Y n is a protonatable block; the degree of polymerization m of the hydrophobic block is 10 - 50, and the degree of polymerization n of the protonatable block is 20 - 100; The protonatable block is at least one of poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate), poly(diethylaminoethyl methacrylate), and poly(2-tert-butylaminoethyl methacrylate); the hydrophobic block is at least one of polycaprolactone, polylactic acid, and polyglycolide; The pH of the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition is 3 - 7.

[0008] The anti-aging EGCG nano-composition provided by the present invention mainly includes a block polymer carrier, an active ingredient EGCG and a stabilizer. Among them, a protonatable block with a certain degree of polymerization is used to link two hydrophobic blocks with specific degrees of polymerization to obtain a block polymer, which serves as the carrier of the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition of the present invention: under the condition of weakly acidic pH, the block compound of the present invention can encapsulate EGCG through self-assembly to obtain a nano-composition loaded with EGCG, which has the advantages of small particle size and high encapsulation efficiency.

[0009] When the pH value is too high, the block compound cannot be protonated and is hydrophobic, and cannot encapsulate EGCG through self-assembly, and the encapsulation efficiency is very low, and the comprehensive effect is poor; when the pH is too low, the block compound cannot self-assemble well, and the encapsulation efficiency of EGCG decreases significantly instead. The protonatable block in the block polymer is the structural basis for realizing the self-assembly effect and the EGCG encapsulation effect. The block that cannot be protonated cannot change its charge state by accepting protons (H), and thus does not have self-assembly behavior or responsiveness under specific conditions. Adding a stabilizer helps to improve the self-assembly stability of the block compound and enhance the encapsulation efficiency of EGCG. Controlling the degrees of polymerization of the hydrophobic block and the protonatable block in the block polymer, as well as the contents of the block polymer and EGCG, also significantly affects the anti-aging effect of the nano-composition of the present invention.

[0010] In the presence of a stabilizer and under a specific pH environment, by using the block polymer with a specific degree of polymerization and dosage defined in the present invention, the protonatable group - amino group - in it can be successfully protonated under weakly acidic conditions, obtaining a stable anti-aging EGCG nano-composition, and making the prepared nano-composition encapsulating EGCG carry a positive charge, thus being more easily taken up by cells and having a higher cell uptake amount. On the one hand, the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition provided by the present invention has a better protective effect on mitochondria and can efficiently deliver the active substance EGCG to the mitochondrial target site. On the other hand, more nano-compositions encapsulating EGCG are taken up into cells and mitochondria, improving the bioavailability of the active ingredient EGCG and significantly enhancing its anti-aging effect.

[0011] Compared with free EGCG, the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition encapsulating EGCG provided by the present invention has better skin permeability and higher cell uptake amount, has a better protective effect on mitochondria, and has excellent long-lasting anti-aging efficacy, providing a new strategy for nano-encapsulation technology and having high industrial value in anti-aging cosmetics or topical skin medications.

The protonatable blocks in the block copolymer in Examples 1-3 are PDEAEMA, PDMAEMA, and PTBAEMA respectively. When the protonatable block is selected as PDEAEMA (Example 1), the final product has the smallest particle size, the highest encapsulation efficiency, and the best encapsulation effect on EGCG; the hydrophobic blocks of the block copolymer in Examples 1, 4, and 5 are PCL, PLA, and PGA respectively. When the hydrophobic block is selected as PCL (Example 1), the particle size of the nano-composition product is the smallest, the encapsulation efficiency is the highest, and the encapsulation effect on EGCG is better.

[0096] Comparing Comparative Example 1, Examples 6-11 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the degrees of polymerization of the protonatable block and the hydrophobic block in the block polymer are different, which all affect the particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the product. In Comparative Example 1, Examples 6-9, and Comparative Example 2, the degrees of polymerization of the protonatable block are 60, 20, 40, 80, 100, and 10 respectively. When the degree of polymerization of the protonatable block in the block polymer gradually increases, the particle size of the product first decreases and then increases, while the encapsulation efficiency first increases and then decreases. When the degree of polymerization of the protonatable block in Example 1 is selected as 60, the particle size of the final product is the smallest, the encapsulation efficiency is the highest, and the loading effect on EGCG is the best. In Comparative Example 1, Examples 10-11, and Comparative Example 3, the degrees of polymerization of the hydrophobic block are 30, 10, 50, and 60 respectively. When the degree of polymerization of the hydrophobic block in the block polymer gradually increases, the particle size of the product first decreases and then increases, while the encapsulation efficiency first increases and then decreases. When the degree of polymerization of the hydrophobic block is selected as 30 (Example 1), the particle size of the product is the smallest, the encapsulation efficiency is the highest, and the loading effect on EGCG is the best.

[0097] Comparing Comparative Example 1, Examples 12-15 and Comparative Examples 5-6, the pH value in the nano-composition significantly affects the particle size and encapsulation efficiency of the product. The pH values of the nano-compositions in Comparative Example 1, Examples 12-15 and Comparative Examples 5-6 are 5.2, 3.0, 4.1, 6.3, 6.9, 2.0, and 7.8 respectively. When the pH value of the nano-composition gradually increases, the particle size first decreases and then increases, while the encapsulation efficiency first increases and then decreases. When the pH is 5.2 (Example 1), the particle size of the product is the smallest, the encapsulation efficiency is the highest, and the comprehensive effect is the best.

[0098] Among Comparative Example 1, Examples 16-18 and Comparative Example 4 in the nano-composition, the stabilizers are isobutylamidothiazol resorcinol, phenethyl resorcinol, 4-butyl resorcinol, 4-cyclohexyl resorcinol, and no stabilizer is added. The results show that when the stabilizer is selected as isobutylamidothiazol resorcinol (Example 1), the particle size of the final product is smaller, the encapsulation efficiency is higher, and its loading effect on EGCG is better.

[0099] In Comparative Example 1, 19 - 20, and Comparative Example 7, the addition amounts of the block polymer were 2%, 0.5%, 5%, and 0.1% respectively: when the addition amount of the block polymer in the nano - composition gradually increased, its particle size first decreased and then increased, and the encapsulation efficiency first increased and then decreased. When the addition amount of the block polymer was 2% (Example 1), the particle size of the product was the smallest and the encapsulation efficiency was the highest. In Comparative Example 1, 21 - 22, and Comparative Example 8, the addition amounts of EGCG in the nano - composition were 2%, 0.5%, 5%, and 6% respectively. When the addition amount of EGCG gradually increased, its particle size first decreased and then increased, and the encapsulation efficiency first increased and then decreased. When the addition amount of EGCG was 2% (Example 1), it was the most suitable. At this time, the particle size of the product was the smallest and the encapsulation efficiency was the highest. Considering comprehensively, the mass percentage of EGCG was selected as 2%, and the situations of too much or too little active ingredient were no longer explored.

[0100] Comparing Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, compared with PPEGMA (non - protonated block), the block polymer prepared by using protonatable block PDEAEMA and linking hydrophobic block PCL to encapsulate EGCG had a smaller particle size, a higher encapsulation efficiency, and a better encapsulation ability for EGCG.

[0101] Effect Example 2 To explore the transdermal absorption effect of the anti - aging EGCG nano - composition provided by the present invention, a transdermal absorption (permeation - enhancing) experiment was used to evaluate the transdermal absorption ability of the nano - composition. The specific method was as follows: For the in vitro transdermal experiment, a vertical diffusion cell was selected, and the skin of nude mice (abdominal skin, removing the subcutaneous fat layer and blood vessels) was used as the model. The receiving solution was PBS solution. The skin piece was fixed between the supply pool and the receiving pool, with the skin layer facing up, and equilibrated for 20 min. The nano - composition samples in each example and comparative example were prepared into a sample solution with a mass percentage of 10%, and the solution was taken and added to the supply pool. The receiving solution was taken at 1 h, 4 h, 8 h, and 24 h. The receiving solution was ultrasonically demulsified with a mixed solution of methanol and deionized water, ultrasonically treated for 30 min according to receiving solution: methanol: water = 1:4:5 (V / V), filtered through a 0.45 μm organic filter membrane, and the content of EGCG was determined by high - performance liquid chromatography (HPLC, Shimadzu, Japan), and the cumulative permeation amount per unit area was calculated therefrom. Each group of experiments was carried out in three parallel experiments, and the arithmetic mean of the experimental results was taken. The calculation formula for the cumulative permeation amount per unit area on the skin piece was as follows: Among them, Q n is the cumulative permeation rate per unit area of the sample at time t (μg / cm 2 ), A is the permeation area, C n is the measured value of the concentration of the active substance at time t, C iThe measured value of the active substance concentration sampled at time point t, V is the total volume of the receiving solution, and V0 is the sampling volume at each time point. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

[0102] Table 2 In vitro transdermal test results of the nano-composition It can be seen from the results in Table 2 that: Comparing Examples 1-5, the types of protonatable block and hydrophobic block in the block polymer affect the transdermal penetration performance of the product. When the protonatable block is selected as PDEAEMA (Example 1), the cumulative permeation amounts per unit area of the final prepared EGCG nano-composition (Example 1) at 1 h, 4 h, 8 h and 24 h are 2.91 μg / cm 2 、15.45 μg / cm 2 、36.52 μg / cm 2 、88.72 μg / cm 2 , all higher than the samples of Examples 2-3. The carrier selected in Example 1 has the best transdermal penetration performance. When the hydrophobic block is selected as PCL (Example 1), the cumulative permeation amount per unit area of the final product is higher, indicating that its transdermal penetration performance is better.

[0103] Comparing Example 1, Examples 6-11, Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the degree of polymerization of the protonatable block and hydrophobic block in the block polymer affects the transdermal penetration performance of the product. When the degree of polymerization of the protonatable block is selected as 60 (Example 1), the cumulative permeation amount per unit area of the product is higher, indicating that its transdermal penetration performance is better. When the degree of polymerization of the hydrophobic block is selected as 30 (Example 1), the cumulative permeation amount per unit area of the product is higher and the transdermal penetration performance is better.

[0104] Comparing Example 1, Examples 12-15, Comparative Examples 5-6, the pH value of the nano-composition significantly affects the transdermal penetration performance of the product: when the pH of the nano-composition in Example 1 is 5.2, the cumulative permeation amount per unit area of the product is higher and its transdermal penetration performance is better. Comparing Example 1, Examples 16-18, Comparative Example 4, the influence of the type of stabilizer in the nano-composition on the transdermal penetration performance: when the stabilizer is selected as isobutylamido thiazole resorcinol (Example 1), the cumulative permeation amount per unit area of the product is higher and the transdermal penetration performance is better. Comparing Example 1, Examples 19-20, Comparative Example 7, the influence of the addition amount of the block polymer: when the addition amount of the block polymer is 2% (Example 1), the cumulative permeation amount per unit area is higher and the transdermal penetration performance is better.

[0105] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that compared with PPEGMA (non-protonated block), the block polymer prepared by the present invention using the protonatable block PDEAEMA to link the hydrophobic block PCL and encapsulating EGCG has a higher cumulative permeation amount per unit area and better percutaneous penetration performance. Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 9 (EGCG aqueous solution), it can be seen that compared with free EGCG without encapsulation treatment, the encapsulation strategy for EGCG adopted in this application can significantly improve the percutaneous penetration performance of EGCG.

[0106] Effect Example 3 To explore the effect of the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition provided by the present invention on cells damaged by ultraviolet rays, the amount of ATP generated in the cells was detected to evaluate the function and activity of mitochondria in the cells, as follows: The detection of ATP content was carried out using an ATP detection kit, which can be purchased from Shanghai Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The specific experimental method is as follows: a. Preparation of ATP standard solution: Thaw the reagent to be used on ice bath, and dilute the ATP standard solution with ATP detection lysis solution into a certain concentration gradient (0.1 nM, 0.3 nM, 1 nM, 3 nM, 10 nM, 30 nM, 100 nM).

[0107] b. Preparation for sample determination: Digest human skin keratinocytes (HaCaT cells), make them into a cell suspension, and inoculate them into a 6-well plate, with 5 - 10.0×10 5 cells per well. Culture them using DMEM medium. After 24 h of culture, then irradiate the blank control group and the experimental group with UVA light (light dose is 6 - 10 J / cm 2 ). After the irradiation, change the medium, and add 50 μL of the nano-composition samples in the examples and comparative examples (experimental group) or PBS solution (blank group and control group) respectively, and continue to culture for 24 h. Remove the cell culture medium, wash 3 times with PBS. Centrifuge to collect the cells, and wash once with PBS. After sucking out the PBS, gently disperse the cells appropriately. Add 200 μL of lysis solution according to the cell amount per well to lyse the cells. After lysis, centrifuge at 4 °C for 5 min (rotation speed 12000 rpm), take the supernatant for testing.

[0108] c. Determination of ATP concentration: Add 100 μL of the ATP detection working solution into the detection tube, and place it at room temperature for 3 - 5 min to consume all the background ATP, thereby reducing the background. Add 20 μL of the sample to be tested or the ATP standard solution into the detection tube, mix well with a micropipette, and measure the RLU value with a chemiluminescence analyzer. Plot the ATP standard curve with the ATP content of the ATP standard solution as the abscissa and the RLU value as the ordinate. The ATP content of the sample to be tested can be calculated according to the ATP standard curve. The results are shown in Table 3 below. Table 3 Test results of the ATP content of ultraviolet-damaged cells treated with the nano-composition As can be seen from the results in Table 3: Comparing Examples 1 - 5, different types of protonatable blocks and hydrophobic blocks in the block polymer affect the protective effect of the product on mitochondria. After the ultraviolet-damaged cells were co-incubated with the sample of Example 1, the ATP content in mitochondria was the highest, which was 0.357 nM, and the cells could be restored to 92.97% of the normal healthy cells. Example 1 selected the protonatable block PDEAEMA to have the best protective effect on mitochondria. When the hydrophobic block was selected as PCL (Example 1), after the prepared nano-composition was co-incubated with the ultraviolet-damaged cells, the ATP content in mitochondria was the highest, and the protective effect on mitochondria was the best.

[0109] Comparing Example 1, Examples 6 - 11, Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the degree of polymerization of the protonatable block and the hydrophobic block in the block polymer affects the protective effect of the product on mitochondria. When the degree of polymerization of the protonatable block was selected as 60 (Example 1), after the prepared nano-composition was co-incubated with the ultraviolet-damaged cells, the ATP content in mitochondria was the highest, and its protective effect on mitochondria was the best. When the degree of polymerization of the hydrophobic block was selected as 30 (Example 1), after the nano-composition was co-incubated with the ultraviolet-damaged cells, the ATP content in mitochondria was the highest, and the protective effect on mitochondria was the best.

[0110] Comparative Example 1, Examples 12 - 15, and Comparative Examples 5 - 6 investigated the effect of the pH of the nano - composition on the protective effect of the product on mitochondria. When the pH of the nano - composition was 5.2 (Example 1) and it was co - incubated with ultraviolet - damaged cells, the ATP content in mitochondria was the highest, and its protective effect on mitochondria was the best. Comparing Comparative Example 1, Examples 16 - 18, and Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the addition of stabilizers and their types have a great influence. When the stabilizer was selected as isobutylamido thiazole resorcinol (Example 1) and the nano - composition was co - incubated with ultraviolet - damaged cells, the ATP content in mitochondria was the highest and the protective effect on mitochondria was the best. Comparing Comparative Example 1, Examples 19 - 20, and Comparative Example 7, different addition amounts of block polymers in the nano - composition significantly affected the protective effect of the product on mitochondria; when the addition amount of the block polymer was 2% (Example 1), the nano - composition had the best protective effect on mitochondria.

[0111] Comparing Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, compared with PPEGMA (non - protonated block), the block polymer prepared by using the protonatable block PDEAEMA to link the hydrophobic block PCL in the present invention to encapsulate EGCG, after co - incubation with ultraviolet - damaged cells, the ATP content in mitochondria was higher and the protective effect on mitochondria was better. Comparing Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 9 (EGCG aqueous solution), compared with free EGCG without encapsulation treatment, the nano - composition prepared by using the encapsulation strategy of the present invention had a higher ATP content in mitochondria after co - incubation with ultraviolet - damaged cells, and its protective effect on mitochondria was better.

[0112] Effect Example 4 To further explore the uptake of the anti - aging EGCG nano - composition provided by the present invention by cells and its bioavailability, the specific content is as follows: Exponentially growing HACAT cells (density 5×10 4Inoculate (in the wells) in a six-well plate pre-laid with cover glasses, with the culture medium being DMEM solution (2 mL), and incubate in an incubator at 37 °C, saturated humidity and containing 5% CO2 for 24 h. Aspirate the culture medium, and add 2 mL of sample solution to each well (aqueous solutions with a mass percentage of 1% of the nano-compositions of Example 1, Examples 12 - 15 and Comparative Example 1, Comparative Examples 4 - 6, 9 prepared separately), and incubate in an incubator at 37 °C, saturated humidity and containing 5% CO2 for 30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h respectively. Aspirate the culture medium, rinse the cells twice with PBS solution, and fix with 4% paraformaldehyde for 0.5 h. Remove the paraformaldehyde solution, and rinse the cells twice with PBS solution. Incubate with DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) for 30 min, rinse the cells three times with PBS solution, and mount the cover glass after placing it. Place the cover glass under a laser confocal microscope (CLSM, Leica SP8, Leica Microsystems, USA) to test the fluorescence intensity, with an excitation wavelength of 488 nm and an emission wavelength of 525 nm. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0113] Table 4 Results of cell endocytosis test of nano-compositions From the results in Table 4, it can be seen that: with the increase of the action time, the fluorescence intensity in the experimental groups of Example 1, Examples 12 - 15, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Examples 4 - 6, and Comparative Example 9 gradually increases, indicating that more samples enter the cells and cell nuclei in the form of endocytosis. Compared with Example 12 (pH value 3.0), Example 13 (pH value 4.1), Example 14 (pH value 6.3), Example 15 (pH value 6.9), Comparative Example 5 (pH value 2.0) and Comparative Example 6 (pH value 7.8), during the co-incubation time of 30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h between the sample of Example 1 (pH value 5.2) and HACAT cells, the fluorescence intensity in the cells is the largest, indicating that the number of EGCG nano-compositions in Example 1 entering the cells and reaching the cell nuclei is the largest, and the amount of it taken up by the cells is the largest. Compared with Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 4, the block polymer of the present invention selects the protonatable block PDEAEMA, links the hydrophobic block PCL to encapsulate EGCG, and selects isobutylamido thiazolyl resorcinol as the stabilizer. During the co-incubation time of 30 min, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h between the prepared nano-composition and HACAT cells, the fluorescence intensity in the cells is the largest, indicating that the number of the nano-composition in Example 1 entering the cells and reaching the cell nuclei is more, and the amount of it taken up by the cells is more. At the same time, compared with the EGCG aqueous solution of Comparative Example 9, the present application uses a specific block polymer to encapsulate EGCG to prepare the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition, and the number of EGCG entering the cells and reaching the cell nuclei increases significantly, and the amount taken up by the cells is significantly more and the effect is significantly better.

[0114] Effect Example 5 To further explore the anti-aging application effect of the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition of the present invention, anti-aging creams were prepared using the nano-compositions of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 9 respectively according to the formula in Table 5 below. The preparation method is as follows: According to the formula in Table 5, triglyceride caprylate / caprate, cetearyl alcohol, and cetyl palmitate were added to 1,3-butanediol, heated to 80 °C, stirred at 300 rpm for 30 min, then deionized water was added, and high-speed homogenization was carried out at 11000 rpm for 10 min, and then cooled to 45 °C; finally, the nano-compositions of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 9 were added respectively, and stirring was continued at 300 rpm for 20 min to obtain the corresponding anti-aging creams. The nano-composition was replaced with an equal amount of deionized water, and the rest remained unchanged to prepare a cream matrix.

[0115] Table 5 Anti-aging cream formula table The test method is as follows: People (30 - 45 years old) with facial wrinkles were selected as anti-aging efficacy test volunteers, a total of 120 people, randomly divided into 4 groups, with 30 people in each group. The anti-aging creams of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 4, and Comparative Example 9 were randomly applied to both sides of the faces of the 4 groups of volunteers. The test was carried out for a total of five weeks, and tests were carried out at the initial stage (week 0), after 2 weeks of use, after 4 weeks of use, and 1 week after discontinuation of use to measure the skin firmness (facial), skin elasticity (facial), and wrinkle area (ocular) indicators. The results are shown in Table 6 below; among them, the distribution of ocular wrinkles in the volunteers of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 after 2 weeks, 4 weeks of use of the anti-aging cream and 1 week after discontinuation of use is as Figure 8 .

[0116] Table 6 Test results of skin firmness, skin elasticity, and wrinkle area indicators of anti-aging creams From the results in Table 6, it can be seen that the anti-aging effect of the anti-aging cream of Example 1 is better than that of Comparative Example 1, further verifying that the block polymer encapsulation strategy with a specific protonatable block composition adopted in this application has a better anti-aging effect. The comparison between the anti-aging creams of Example 1 and Comparative Example 4 verified that the specific isobutylamido thiazole resorcinol stabilizer of the present invention has a greater impact on the anti-aging effect of the prepared cream. The comparison between the anti-aging creams of Example 1 and Comparative Example 9 shows that the overall strategy of using block polymer encapsulation in the present invention can effectively improve the bioavailability of EGCG and better exert its efficacy. In addition, 1 week after the volunteers discontinued using the product, only the skin condition of the group of Example 1 could still significantly maintain good elasticity, firming effect, and anti-wrinkle effect. It can be seen that the application of the anti-aging EGCG nano-composition of the present invention in cosmetics has a significant and lasting anti-aging effect.

[0117] In summary, the present invention selects protonatable block chains with a certain degree of polymerization and hydrophobic block chains to prepare block polymers with a specific structure, and selects a suitable stabilizer, adjusts to a certain pH value, and forms an anti-aging EGCG nano-composition by self-assembling and encapsulating the active ingredient EGCG, which can achieve a high encapsulation rate and at the same time has high percutaneous penetration performance. It has a high cell uptake rate and has a good mitochondrial protection effect on ultraviolet-damaged cells; moreover, the nano-composition provided by the present invention has long-term anti-aging performance. After using the nano-composition to prepare cosmetics or topical medications and stopping using them for one week, the skin can still maintain good elasticity, firming effect and wrinkle-removing effect, and has high application value.

[0118] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or equivalently replaced without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
