Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cosmetic and pharmaceutical chemistry, and particularly relates to a 2,4-dihydroxyphenyl thiazole derivative and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The color of the skin is mainly determined by melanin, and the excessive synthesis and abnormal deposition of melanin can cause various pigmentation diseases, such as chloasma, freckle, age spot, and uneven skin tone caused by ultraviolet radiation, inflammation or hormone change. The key rate-limiting step of melanin biosynthesis is catalyzed by tyrosinase, which oxidizes L-tyrosine to L-dopa and then continues to convert to dopaquinone. Therefore, inhibiting the activity of tyrosinase is one of the most effective strategies to control melanin production, achieve skin whitening and treat pigmentation.
[0003] At present, there are many tyrosinase inhibitors on the market, but most of them have defects such as limited effect, poor stability or safety problems. For example, arbutin, a natural product extracted from bearberry leaves, is a hydroquinone glycoside derivative, which can effectively inhibit the biosynthesis of melanin by competitively occupying the active center of tyrosinase, and has high safety, but the whitening effect is relatively weak, and free hydroquinone is easily decomposed under high temperature or acidic conditions, which brings safety hazards. Kojic acid, which is derived from fungal metabolites, can inhibit the function of tyrosinase by chelating copper ions in the active center of the enzyme, but it has poor stability, is easy to oxidize and discolor, and is sensitive to light and heat, and may cause skin irritation or contact dermatitis at high concentrations. In addition, vitamin C and its derivatives mainly whiten through reduction, but they are extremely unstable and easy to be oxidized, and also have poor transdermal absorption performance. In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, developing new tyrosinase inhibitors with high efficiency, safety and stability has always been a research hotspot and difficulty in the field.
[0004] Thiamidol (chemical name: 4-(1-phenylpropyl)-1,3-benzene diol, trade name: Thiamidol) is a breakthrough inhibitor discovered in recent years. Its structural formula is as follows. The molecule can precisely embed into the catalytic active cavity of human tyrosinase (hTyr), interact with key amino acid residues (including H180, H202, H211, F386 and H390, etc.), and thus effectively block the enzyme catalytic function. Clinical studies have proved that it has significantly better efficacy than traditional whitening ingredients.
[0005] .
[0006] However, thiamidol still has certain limitations, such as suboptimal bioavailability and safety that needs to be further clarified, which to some extent limits its more extensive application. SUMMARY
