Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing ditocopheryl azelate and its application, belonging to the technical field of compound synthesis. Background Art

[0002] Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid and is widely used in skin care, medicine and industrial applications. In the field of dermatology, azelaic acid is used to treat skin problems such as acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation due to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and keratolytic effects. It can inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes and reduce sebum oxidative damage, thereby improving inflammatory skin diseases. In addition, azelaic acid also has a certain whitening effect and can reduce the synthesis of melanin by inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase, so it is used in the treatment of hyperpigmentary skin diseases. In addition to skin care, azelaic acid is also used in the fields of plastics, lubricants and chemical synthesis. As a plasticizer or lubricant for polymer materials, it can improve the flexibility and stability of materials.

[0003] Although azelaic acid has good application value in many fields, it also has certain limitations and problems. First of all, due to its poor water solubility and oil solubility, its application in water-based systems is limited, resulting in greater difficulty in formulation design. In terms of skin application, the permeability of azelaic acid is limited, resulting in low bioavailability, and specific carrier or formulation technologies are required to improve its transdermal absorption efficiency. In addition, azelaic acid may cause skin irritation at high concentrations, especially for people with sensitive skin, which may cause adverse reactions such as redness and stinging. Therefore, its use concentration and compatibility method need to be controlled during formulation development. In industrial applications, the production cost of azelaic acid is relatively high, and the synthesis steps of some of its derivatives are relatively complex, which limits its further promotion and application.

[0004] In view of the limitations of azelaic acid, researchers have developed a variety of derivatives to improve its functional characteristics and application adaptability. Tocopherol, namely vitamin E, is a strong antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage. In the fields of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, tocopherol is widely used in anti-aging and skin barrier repair.

[0005] Therefore, it has extremely high practical value and economic value to prepare azelaic acid compounds based on azelaic acid and tocopherol, further optimize its preparation process, improve production efficiency, and expand its application in the medical and industrial fields to better exert its comprehensive advantages.

[0089] 2. Performance data

[0090] (1) Irritation to cells

[0091] To detect the effect of the compound on cell viability, the steps include:

[0092] 1) Cell seeding:

[0093] Seed SZ95 cells into a 96-well plate at an inoculation density of 1×10 4 cells / well and incubate overnight in an incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2).

[0094] 2) Experimental grouping:

[0095] The experimental setup included a blank control group, a positive control group (10% DMSO), and a sample group. In the sample group, each sample was set at 8 concentration gradients, with 3 replicate wells for each concentration gradient.

[0096] 3) Administration of drugs:

[0097] When the cell seeding rate in the 96-well plate reached 40% - 60%, drugs were administered. In the control group, 200 μL of culture medium containing 10% PBS was added to each well; in the positive control group, 200 μL of culture medium containing 10% DMSO was added to each well; in the sample group, 200 μL of culture medium containing the sample at the concentrations shown in Table 3 was added to each well; in the zero-adjustment group, no cells were inoculated, and only 200 μL of cell culture medium was added. After drug administration, the 96-well plate was placed in an incubator for culture.

[0098] 4) Viability detection:

[0099] After the cells were incubated for 24 h, the supernatant was discarded, and MTT working solution (0.5 mg / mL) was added. Incubation was carried out at 37 °C in the dark for 4 h. After incubation, the supernatant was discarded, 100 μL of DMSO was added to each well, and the OD value was read at 490 nm. The calculation of cell viability was as follows:

[0104] (2) Inhibitory effect on cell adipogenesis

[0105] 1) Cell seeding: Cells were seeded into a 24-well plate at an inoculation density of 1×10 5 cells / well and incubated overnight in an incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2).

[0106] 2) Preparation of solutions: Working solutions of the test substances at different concentrations were prepared according to the experimental design table shown in Table 4.

[0107] 3) Administration of drugs: According to Table 4, when the cell seeding rate in the 24-well plate reached 40% - 60%, grouped drug administration was carried out, with 3 replicate wells for each group, and the cells were continued to be cultured in the incubator for 24 h.

[0108] 4) Staining: The culture medium was discarded, the cells were rinsed with PBS, fixed, stained with Nile red for 15 min, rinsed, and photographed with a fluorescence microscope.

[0109] 5) Analysis results: The fluorescence intensity was quantitatively analyzed using Image Pro Plus software.

[0110] As shown in Table 4, tocopherol itself does not have a lipid droplet inhibitory effect, while ditocopheryl azelate has a significantly better lipid droplet inhibitory effect than azelaic acid and other azelaic acid compounds.

[0115] A0 is 3 mL of DPPH solution + 3 mL of absolute ethanol;

[0116] Aj is 3 mL of DPPH solution + 3 mL of sample solution;

[0117] Ai is 3 mL of sample solution + 3 mL of absolute ethanol.

[0118] Shake well vigorously. After standing the sample at 37 °C for 10 min, add it to a cuvette for absorbance measurement. Measure the absorbance values of the samples represented by Ao, Aj, and Ai. The scavenging rate is calculated according to the formula:

[0126] Example 8: Application of ditocopheryl azelate in the preparation of products

[0127] 1. Take the ditocopheryl azelate prepared in Example 1 and prepare a cosmetic, the ingredients of which are shown in Table 6.

[0128] Table 6 Cosmetic Ingredients

[0129] component percentage water 62.1 glycerol 5 PHCG 0.8 xanthan gum 0.1 PEG-100, glyceryl stearate 3 cetearyl alcohol 2 Cetiol B (dibutyl adipate) 22 ditetrahexyldecyl dicarboxylate 5

[0130] 2. Prepare a cosmetic using equal amounts of azelaic acid and tocopherol

[0131] Replace the ditocopheryl azelate in 1 with azelaic acid and tocopherol to prepare a cosmetic, and test the stability of the cosmetic (test whether the cosmetic precipitates or changes color at 40 °C within 60 days). The results are shown in Table 7.
