Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of skin barrier repair, and specifically relates to a composition having the effect of repairing skin barrier damage, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] With increasing environmental pollution, enhanced ultraviolet radiation, and frequent extreme weather events, a damaged skin barrier has become a global health concern. Furthermore, modern skincare misconceptions such as over-reliance on deep cleansing, frequent exfoliation, and the misuse of acidic ingredients further accelerate the breakdown of this barrier function. The skin barrier, the body's first line of defense against external stimuli, consists of the stratum corneum and the sebum membrane. Impaired function can lead to decreased moisture retention, sensitive skin, redness, and frequent inflammation. This barrier function breakdown can contribute to the development of allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis, food allergies, asthma, and allergic rhinitis, and can even be a major cause of recurrent disease. Clinically, epidermal barrier damage is typically treated with topical antiallergic antibiotics, which, while effective, can easily lead to drug dependency. As the pursuit of green skincare grows, Chinese herbal medicine, with its natural origins, multi-target repair mechanisms, and cultural recognition, is demonstrating unique value in contemporary skincare. However, existing traditional Chinese medicine compositions for facial skin repair suffer from a wide variety of medicinal flavors, which can lead to uncontrolled interactions between ingredients. Some have unpleasant odors (such as the fishy smell of Beauveria bassiana), resulting in a poor user experience. Alternatively, the availability of medicinal materials (such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum) can lead to economic and sustainability issues. Therefore, developing a natural skincare product with a minimal medicinal flavor that is effective and safe is crucial for preventing or repairing skin barrier damage. Summary of the Invention

[0030] The invention provides a composition with the effect of repairing skin barrier damage. The composition comprises the following raw materials in parts by weight: 16-24 parts of polygonatum, 8-12 parts of bletilla striata, 8-12 parts of sophora flavescens and 4-6 parts of liquorice.

[0031] The present invention has no particular limitation on the specific sources of the above raw materials; conventional commercially available raw materials in the art can be used. In the present invention, the amount of Polygonatum odoratum is preferably 18-22 parts, more preferably 19-21 parts; the amount of Bletilla striata is preferably 9-11 parts, more preferably 10 parts; the amount of Sophora flavescens is preferably 9-11 parts, more preferably 10 parts; and the amount of Licorice is preferably 5 parts.

[0032] In the composition described in the present invention, Polygonatum odoratum has the effect of improving the skin's moisturizing ability and promoting the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. Its main active ingredient, polysaccharides (such as steroidal saponins and flavonoid glycosides), can increase the expression of filaggrin and strengthen the skin's water-locking barrier; activate aquaporins and improve the dry state. Bletilla striata strengthens the skin's physical barrier structure and promotes damage repair. Its main active ingredients, bibenzyl and phenanthrene components, can promote collagen synthesis and accelerate epidermal wound healing; the polysaccharide components form a moisturizing film and reduce transepidermal water loss. Sophora flavescens can inhibit skin inflammatory reactions and the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms. Its active ingredients, matrine and oxymatrine, reduce the release of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6) by inhibiting the NF-κB pathway; flavonoid components can inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes. Licorice can synergistically fight inflammation and antioxidants and balance the overall activity of the composition. Its active ingredients, glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid, inhibit histamine release and COX-2 enzyme activity, reducing redness, swelling and itching; flavonoid components scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage.

[0033] The composition of the present invention achieves skin barrier repair through the following synergistic pathways: Polygonatum odoratum, as the main drug, has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, can nourish the skin, repair the skin barrier, and improve the dry skin condition. Bletilla striata, as the ministerial drug, has the effects of astringing and stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and promoting tissue regeneration, assisting Polygonatum odoratum in nourishing the skin and helping to alleviate skin inflammation. Sophora flavescens, as the adjuvant drug, has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, drying dampness and relieving itching, and helps to alleviate skin inflammation and skin itching. Licorice, as the guiding drug, has the effects of harmonizing medicinal properties and detoxifying, and plays a role in harmonizing various drugs, making the prescription more balanced. At the same time, its detoxifying effect helps to relieve skin inflammation and promote the repair of the skin barrier.

[0034] The present invention also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned composition, comprising the following steps: mixing polygonatum, bletilla striata, sophora flavescens, liquorice and an ethanol solution, performing reflux extraction, collecting the medicinal residues and medicinal liquid 1; mixing the medicinal residues with the ethanol solution, performing reflux extraction, collecting medicinal liquid 2; mixing medicinal liquid 1 and medicinal liquid 2, and concentrating to obtain an extract; mixing the extract with water, performing water precipitation, removing the precipitate, and concentrating to obtain a composition.

[0035] The present invention uses alcohol extraction and water precipitation to achieve better barrier repair and anti-inflammatory effects, and is highly safe. In the present invention, the low-concentration ethanol solution (<50%) has a high solvent polarity, close to water, and is suitable for extracting water-soluble components in the composition, such as polysaccharides, saponins (partially water-soluble saponins), and proteins and amino acids. The main skin care functions of the extracted components are moisturizing and barrier repair, but the anti-inflammatory ability is insufficient. The medium-concentration ethanol solution (50% to 75%) has a moderate ratio of ethanol to water, taking into account both polarity and fat solubility, and is suitable for extracting medium-polarity components in the composition, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, etc. The main skin care functions of the extracted components are moisturizing and barrier repair, and can also take into account anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Among them, glycyrrhizic acid, the core anti-inflammatory component in licorice, is best extracted in medium-concentration ethanol. High-concentration ethanol (>75%) has a high ethanol concentration and low polarity, and is suitable for extracting fat-soluble components, such as volatile oils, sterols, fat-soluble pigments, etc. The main skin care functions of the extracted ingredients are antibacterial and oil control, but the moisturizing and barrier repair ingredients are relatively small. In order to ensure the efficacy of the composition of the present invention, the volume fraction of the ethanol solution is preferably 50% to 75%, more preferably 65% ​​to 72%.

[0036] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the total mass of Polygonatum odoratum, Bletilla striata, Sophora flavescens, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis to the ethanol solution is preferably 1:6-10, more preferably 1:7-9. This mass ratio of the total mass of the Chinese medicinal raw materials to the ethanol solution as defined in the present invention ensures a high extraction effect while preventing solvent waste due to excessive addition of ethanol solution. In the present invention, if the reflux extraction temperature is too low, the extraction of the active ingredients will be poor, while if it is too high, the activity of the active ingredients will be weakened or even lost. The reflux extraction temperature is preferably 80°C-100°C, more preferably 85°C-95°C. To minimize the manpower and material resources required for extraction while ensuring efficacy, the reflux extraction is preferably performed twice, and the reflux extraction time is preferably 0.5h-2h, more preferably 1h-1.5h. In the present invention, the mass ratio of the medicinal residue to the ethanol solution is preferably 1:6-10, more preferably 1:7-9. The present invention does not specifically limit the specific method of concentration; conventional concentration methods in the art can be used. The extract preferably contains 0.8g / mL-1.2g / mL of the medicinal material. In the present invention, the mass volume ratio of the extract to water is preferably 1g:2mL~6mL, more preferably 1g:3mL~4mL, and the water precipitation time is preferably 10h~15h, more preferably 11h~14h. In the present invention, when the precipitate is concentrated, it is preferably concentrated to a concentration of the medicinal material in the composition of 0.8g / mL~1.2g / mL.

[0037] The present invention also provides the use of the above composition or the above preparation method in preparing a product for repairing skin barrier damage or in preparing a product with anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and / or soothing effects. In the present invention, the type of the product preferably includes skin care products.

[0038] The present invention also provides a skin care product with the effects of repairing skin barrier damage, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and / or soothing, which is composed of the above composition and auxiliary materials, and the mass of the composition is 5% to 10% of the total mass of the skin care product.

[0039] In the skin care product of the present invention, the excipients preferably include those acceptable in the cosmetics field, and the skin care product is administered topically. Preferred types of skin care products include face creams, lotions, serums, toners, or facial masks. When the skin care product is a face cream, the excipients preferably include one or more of an emollient, an emulsifier, a humectant, a thickener, a preservative, a penetration enhancer, and an antioxidant. In the present invention, the emollient is preferably one or more of isononyl isononanoate, C9-12 alkanes, polydimethylsiloxane, and coconut oil caprylate / caprate. The emulsifier is preferably one or more of polyglyceryl-3 cetyl ether, sesame seed oil, malic acid, polyglyceryl-6 distearate, jojoba esters, cetyl alcohol, and polyglyceryl-3 beeswax. The humectant is preferably one or more of butylene glycol, glycerin, 1,2-hexanediol, hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate, and sodium hyaluronate. The thickener is preferably one or more of ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate / VP copolymer, xanthan gum, and behenyl alcohol. The preservative is preferably one or more of phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, and p-hydroxyacetophenone. The penetration enhancer is preferably one or more of phosphatidylcholine, hydrogenated lecithin, and ethoxydiglycol. The antioxidant is preferably one or more of ascorbyl palmitate and tocopherol (vitamin E). In the present invention, to further enhance the repairing effect of the topical cream, active ingredients such as Centella asiatica extract, allantoin, niacinamide, and ceramide NS / NG / NP / AP may be added.

[0040] In the present invention, when the skin care product is a facial cream, the dosage of the facial cream is preferably 0.1g to 10g per application, more preferably 0.5g to 5g per application, and most preferably 1g to 3g per application. Alternatively, depending on the area of ​​application, the application amount of the facial cream is preferably 0.01g to 0.5g per square centimeter of skin, more preferably 0.05g to 0.2g per square centimeter of skin. The facial cream can preferably be applied 1 to 4 times daily, more preferably 1 to 2 times daily. The specific dosage and frequency of application can be appropriately adjusted based on the user's age, weight, specific application area, and individual response.

[0041] In vitro experiments have shown that the composition provided by the present invention can significantly promote the proliferation of normal HaCaT cells and effectively reduce SDS-induced HaCaT cell damage, demonstrating its potential for skin repair. The composition can also promote the proliferation of RAW264.7 macrophages and significantly inhibit LPS-induced nitric oxide production in these cells, demonstrating its anti-inflammatory activity. Furthermore, the composition of the present invention exhibits an inhibitory effect on hyaluronidase in in vitro experiments, suggesting its moisturizing effect.

[0042] In vivo experiments (mouse model) showed that a cream containing the composition of the present invention significantly reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in a mouse model of skin barrier damage, effectively lowered skin surface pH, and reduced the compensatory increase in ceramide synthesis triggered by barrier damage. These results suggest that a cream containing the composition of the present invention has the effect of repairing epidermal barrier function.

[0043] Human efficacy evaluation (volunteer testing) showed that after 28 days of continuous topical application of a cream containing the composition of the present invention, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and hemoglobin levels were significantly lower than initial values ​​(indicating a reduction in erythema). These results demonstrate that creams containing the composition of the present invention effectively strengthen the skin barrier function, improve the condition of damaged skin, and exhibit significant skin repair efficacy.

[0080] 1×10 5 Cells were seeded in a 12-well plate at a density of 1 mL / well and cultured for 12 h (24 h). After adherence, different concentrations of extracts from Example 1 (ethanol extraction and water precipitation), Comparative Example 2 (water extraction and alcohol precipitation), and Comparative Example 3 (ethanol extraction) were added and incubated for 24 h. LPS (final concentration of 1.0 μg / mL) and IFN-γ (final concentration of 4 ng / mL) were then added to the treatment group and the model control group. Only culture medium was added to the blank control group and cultured for another 12 h (24 h). The supernatant was collected. The specific steps were performed according to the instructions of the NO test kit. OD values ​​were measured at 540 nm, and the NO content and inhibition rate were calculated. The NO content was substituted into the standard curve for calculation. NO inhibition rate (%) = (average NO content in the model control group - average NO content in the treatment group) / average NO content in the model control group × 100%, where the model control group refers to the group that only added LPS to stimulate macrophages.

[0081] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown, the extract (extract) prepared by the alcohol extraction and water precipitation method in Example 1 inhibited the NO level most significantly, indicating that it had an anti-inflammatory effect and the best effect.

[0082] (5) In vitro hyaluronidase inhibition study

[0083] First, a standard curve for the enzyme activity of hyaluronidase reacting with the substrate HA was constructed using the DNS method. The reaction solution was prepared according to Table 1, mixed by vortexing, and reacted at 37°C for 30 minutes, followed by a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. 200 μL of the reaction solution was added to 400 μL of the DNS solution, mixed by vortexing, and then heated in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes. 150 μL of sample was added to each well of a 96-well plate, with three replicates per well. The A540 value was measured using a microplate reader. A standard curve was constructed by plotting the OD value at A540 against the enzyme concentration. The results showed good linearity within the hyaluronidase addition range of 200 to 500 μL (i.e., hyaluronidase solution concentrations of 400 to 1000 U / mL). The linear equation was: y = 0.0004x + 0.2338, r = 0.9940. The raw data are shown in Table 1.

[0084] Table 1 Reaction solution

[0085]

[0086]

[0087] Preparation contains the extract that the different concentrations embodiment 1 (alcohol extraction and water precipitation), comparative example 1 (water extraction), comparative example 2 (water extraction and alcohol precipitation) and comparative example 3 (alcohol extraction) of 600U / mL hyaluronidase make, the concentration range of wherein contained extract is 0~0.05% (the enzymatic activity of hyaluronidase solid powder is 400~1000U / mg, calculates according to 500U / mg), standby.Get each group of solution 500 μ L, add 0.5%HA500 μ L respectively, 37 ℃ of water-baths 30min, boiling water bath 5min makes enzyme inactivation afterwards, get 200 μ L reaction solutions, add DNS solution 400 μ L, boiling water bath 5min, get 150 μ L and add 96 orifice plates, every sample establishes 3 replicate holes, microplate reader measures A540 value, according to the linear regression equation calculation solution residual enzyme activity, the results are shown in Table 2.

[0088] Table 2 Enzyme activity

[0089]

[0090] As can be seen from Table 2, the extracts from different processes all inhibited hyaluronidase, and the higher the concentration, the better the inhibition effect. Among them, the water extraction and water extraction and alcohol precipitation processes had the best enzyme inhibition rates, and the alcohol extraction and water precipitation process was the second most effective.

[0091] The above results indicate that all four extracts significantly promoted the proliferation of SDS-damaged HaCaT cells. At extract concentrations of 50-150 μg / mL, the proliferation effect ranked as follows: alcohol extraction and water precipitation > water extraction and alcohol precipitation > water extraction > alcohol extraction. In the LPS-induced inflammation model, alcohol extraction and water precipitation > water extraction and alcohol precipitation > alcohol extraction were the most effective methods. Water extraction was excluded due to significant cytotoxicity (cell viability <80%). Hyaluronidase inhibition (moisturizing) revealed that the inhibitory activity of each process ranked as follows: water extraction > water extraction and alcohol precipitation > alcohol extraction and water precipitation > alcohol extraction.

[0092] Based on a comprehensive assessment of efficacy balance and safety: Core efficacy weight distribution: Barrier repair must prioritize proliferation promotion (weight 40%) and anti-inflammation (weight 40%), with moisturizing as an auxiliary function (weight 20%). In the present invention, the alcohol extraction and water precipitation method is determined to be the best process because it performs dual optimality in core efficacy (proliferation promotion and anti-inflammation). Although the moisturizing activity is not the highest, it is still within the effective range and has a certain moisturizing activity (inhibition rate>30%); and the alcohol extraction and water precipitation method can completely avoid the risk of cytotoxicity.

[0100] 1. Experimental Materials

[0101] 1.1 Experimental Reagents

[0102] Sodium hydroxide (AR), concentrated hydrochloric acid (GR), glacial acetic acid (AR), p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (AR), anhydrous sodium carbonate (AR), anhydrous sodium acetate (AR), anhydrous calcium chloride (AR), acetylacetone (AR), sodium hyaluronate (USP), hyaluronidase (BR); dipotassium glycyrrhizate, purity ≥98%.

[0103] 1.2 Test substances

[0104] Sample: the cream prepared in Example 4 diluted into a 10% aqueous solution;

[0105] Negative / solvent control: buffer;

[0106] Positive control: 1% dipotassium glycyrrhizate solution.

[0107] 2. Experimental Methods

[0108] Set up four groups, A, B, C, and D, with three replicates per group. Add calcium chloride, buffer solution, sample solution, sodium hydroxide, and acetylacetone solution to test tubes, mix thoroughly, and then place in boiling water, ice water, and room temperature for reaction. Add P-DAB colorimetric reagent to all four tubes. After the reaction is complete, measure the absorbance of each group at 530 nm.

[0109] Hyaluronidase inhibition rate (%) = [(CD) - (AB)] / (CD) × 100%

[0110] Wherein: A is the absorbance of the reaction solution containing sample and enzyme; B is the absorbance of the reaction solution containing sample and no enzyme; C is the absorbance of the reaction solution containing enzyme but no sample; D is the absorbance of the reaction solution without sample and enzyme.

[0111] Under the condition of ensuring the effectiveness of the test system (hyaluronidase inhibition rate of the positive control > 50%), if the hyaluronidase inhibition rate of the test sample is higher than that of the negative control, and there is a significant difference between the two (P < 0.05), it can be determined that the test sample has a soothing effect.

[0112] 3. Experimental Results

[0113] According to the laboratory method (XYJC-SOP-CE-021 hyaluronidase inhibition rate method), the soothing effect of the facial cream prepared in Sample Example 4 was tested.

[0116] Test Example 3

[0117] In vivo experiment of the cream prepared in Example 4

[0118] (1) Establishment of a mouse model of skin mechanical barrier disorder

[0119] Twenty male BALB / c mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group, a matrix control group and a drug administration group, with 5 mice in each group. Except for the blank control group, a skin mechanical barrier damage model was established by the tape method. The specific method is as follows: stick the medical tape tightly to the shaved mouse back skin and then quickly tear it off. Each mouse was stimulated twice a day for modeling, and the "tape sticking-tearing off" process was repeated 5 times each time for each modeling. The interval between the two modeling stimulations was 8 hours, and the modeling process lasted for 5 consecutive days. The modeling was successful when the mouse skin was red but without bleeding. After that, the mice in the matrix group and the drug administration group were given a single cream (the difference between the single cream here and Example 4 is that it does not contain the composition of Example 1, and the rest are the same as Example 4) and a face cream intervention, 5 mg / mouse, for 5 consecutive days. At the same time, the blank group and the model group did not receive any intervention. The specific administration method is as follows: use a syringe to draw 5 mg of cream or face cream and apply it to the damaged part of the mouse skin mechanical barrier. After 24 hours of each administration, the condition of the damaged skin tissue was observed.

[0120]

[0121] The results are as follows Figure 6 As shown in the figure, after modeling, the modeling sites on the backs of mice in each group showed symptoms such as redness, sloughing, and thickening, indicating that the modeling was successful. After the last administration of each group, the skin of mice in the matrix group was still red and swollen, while the redness and swelling of the skin of mice in the administration group (cream prepared in Example 4) subsided or showed a significant trend of subsiding. After the last administration, the skin barrier recovery rate of mice in the administration group was statistically significant compared with that of the model group and the matrix group, and was very significant. There was no significant difference between the model group and the matrix group. This shows that the cream obtained in Example 4 has a good skin barrier repair function.

[0122] (2) Determination of transepidermal water loss

[0123] 24 hours after the last administration, the transepidermal water loss (TEWL) of the mouse back skin was measured using a skin detector (Tewametermobile). Transepidermal water loss (TEWL), also known as transdermal water loss, indicates the loss of water from the deep dermis through evaporation of the epidermis. It is an important parameter to describe the skin barrier and is closely related to the water content of the skin's stratum corneum. The higher the TEWL value, the more water is lost through the skin and the poorer the barrier function of the stratum corneum. Testing environment: room temperature 20-25°C, relative humidity 50%-60%. During the test, the instrument is in full contact with the skin of the test area and kept as vertical as possible. Repeat the measurement multiple times on the same test area and take the average value.

[0124] The results are as follows Figure 7As shown, the TEWL values ​​of mice increased after modeling. Compared with the blank group, the TEWL values ​​of mice in the model and matrix groups increased, and there was a statistically significant difference. The TEWL values ​​of mice in the treatment group showed significant improvement compared with the model group, and there was no statistical difference compared with the blank group, indicating that the cream can promote the repair of the skin's stratum corneum barrier.

[0125] (3) Skin pH measurement

[0126] 24 hours after the last dose, measure the pH of the mouse back skin using a pH meter. Testing environment: room temperature 20-25°C, relative humidity 50%-60%. During the test, the instrument should be in full contact with the skin of the test site and kept as vertical as possible. Repeat the measurement three times at the same test site, and calculate the average value.

[0127] See the results Figure 8 The skin pH value increased after the skin barrier was damaged. Compared with the blank group, the pH value of the skin of mice in the matrix group and the model group increased. The pH value of the skin of mice in the drug group decreased significantly and was close to that of the blank group, indicating that the cream has a good skin barrier repair function.

[0128] (5) HE staining and ceramide determination

[0129] Twenty-four hours after the last dose, the hair around the dorsal area of ​​the rat's ear was shaved and the rat was anesthetized with isoflurane. After anesthesia, a 1.25 cm × 1.25 cm section of skin from the mouse's back where the model was created was obtained. A portion was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution for subsequent tissue embedding, sectioning, and staining. The remaining portion was frozen in liquid nitrogen until further use, and ceramide content in the skin was subsequently determined by ELISA.

[0130] The results are as follows Figures 9 to 11 The results of the effect of the cream prepared in Example 4 on the epidermal thickness of barrier disorder mice are shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 The epidermal tissue structure of mice in the blank group was intact, while the epidermis of mice in the model group was significantly thickened, with partial stratum corneum shedding, acanthosis and downward protrusions, accompanied by inflammatory cell infiltration. The cream prepared in Example 4 showed significant improvement after application, and compared with the matrix group, the cream group was able to significantly reduce epidermal thickness.

[0131] The results of the effect of the cream prepared in Example 4 on the ceramide in the skin of barrier disorder mice are shown in Figure 11 Compared with the blank group, the ceramide content in the model group was significantly increased. After applying the blank matrix and the cream prepared in Example 4, the ceramide content decreased, and the difference in the cream group was significant compared with the blank matrix group (P<0.05).
