Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a lignan, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The skin, covering the body surface, has multiple functions, including protection, absorption, secretion, aesthetics, stimulation sensing, temperature regulation, participation in the immune system, maintenance of water and electrolyte balance, and metabolism. It is one of the most important organs of the human body. As the body's external barrier, the skin is frequently stimulated by the external environment, leading to various skin problems that negatively impact people's lives. Faced with problem skin, cosmetics have brought hope. In recent years, rapid economic development and a significant improvement in living standards have led to increased attention to skin care, especially skin whitening. Skin care is closely related to skin structure, forming the theoretical basis for our research on cosmetics.

[0003] Schisandra chinensis Schisandra chinensis *Schisandra chinensis* (Turcz.) Baill. is a perennial deciduous vine belonging to the genus *Schisandra* in the family Magnoliaceae. It has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a tonic and strengthening agent. Modern pharmacological studies have found that the active components of *Schisandra chinensis*, such as schisandrol, schisandrin B, and schisandrol A, have significant antagonistic effects on lipid peroxidation caused by oxygen free radicals. Furthermore, lignans in *Schisandra chinensis* can reduce inflammation caused by *Propionibacterium acnes* and inhibit the release of related inflammatory factors.

[0004] Recently, with the growing trend of embracing nature, functional cosmetics based on natural plants have gained popularity among consumers.

[0076] The cells used in this test were B16F10 mouse skin melanoma cells, and the compounds to be tested were the compound of formula I prepared in Example 1 and the compound of formula II prepared in Example 2.

[0077] Cell culture: Mouse skin melanoma B16F10 cells were cultured in 1640 medium containing 10% FBS and 100 U / mL double antibiotic solution, and placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 cell culture incubator. When the cells reached 90% confluence, they were digested with trypsin containing 0.25% EDTA and passaged.

[0078] Cellular melanin content detection: B16F10 cells were processed at a ratio of 5 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a concentration of 2 mL / mL in 6-well cell culture plates. After 24 hours, once the cells had adhered, they were divided into three groups: a blank control group, an α-MSH model group, an α-MSH+ positive control group (arbutin), and an α-MSH+ drug administration group (compounds of formula I obtained in Example 1 and compound of formula II obtained in Example 2), with three replicates for each group. The blank control group was treated with DMEM medium containing 10% FBS, the model group was treated with medium containing 100 nmol / L α-MSH (M=1664.9), and the positive control group and drug administration group were treated with 2 mL / well of 50 μM α-MSH. The cells were then incubated in a cell culture incubator for 72 hours.

[0079] Cellular melanin inhibition rate IC 50 Measurement: The IC50 inhibition rate of melanin in the drug-treated groups with similar results to the positive control group was measured. 50 Five drug concentrations were set for each sample: 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, and 40 μM. The experimental procedure was the same as that for the detection of cell melanin content. Data processing and analysis: Each sample was measured in triplicate, and the result was the average of the three parallel measurements. GraphPad Prism 9 statistical software was used for data analysis. Values ​​are expressed as mean ± standard deviation (x̄ ± s). One-way ANOVA was used for comparisons among multiple groups. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0086] The specific steps are as follows:

[0087] Cell culture: RAW264.7 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were scraped off using a cell scraper and suspended in high-glucose DMEM complete culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum to form a single-cell suspension. The suspension was cultured at 1.0 × 10⁶ cells / cells. 4 Seeds were planted at a density of 100 μL per well in 96-well plates and incubated overnight.

[0088] Adding Formula I and Formula II compounds: Induction stimulation was performed with 1 μg / mL LPS, and Formula I and Formula II compounds were added simultaneously for treatment. A drug-free group (and model group), a normal group (without LPS) and a positive drug group (dexamethasone, 10 μM) were set up. Each treatment was set up with 3 replicates and cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 24 hours.

[0089] Cytokine detection: Centrifuge 300g of cell culture supernatant for 10min, and detect the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 according to the kit instructions.

[0090] Cell viability assay: Discard the culture medium in each well, add a 4:1 mixture of culture medium and MTS (100 μL per well), and set up 3 blank replicates. Incubate for 2-4 hours, measure the absorbance at 490 nm using a multi-mode microplate reader, and record the results. Calculate the cell viability using Equation 1.

[0091] Survival rate % = (OD value of experimental group - OD value of blank group) / (OD value of negative group - OD value of blank group) × 100% Equation 1;

[0092] The results of the compound of formula II inhibiting the production of inflammatory mediators IL-6 and TNF-α induced by LPS in RAW264.7 cells are shown in Table 4.

[0097] Test Example 3

[0098] Skin irritation test:

[0099] The experimental animals used in this test case were Japanese white rabbits, and the test compounds were the unsaponifiable methanol extract of Schisandra chinensis oil, the compound of formula I prepared in Example 1, and the compound of formula II prepared in Example 2.

[0100] The specific steps are as follows:

[0101] Three Japanese white rabbits were used. Twenty-four hours before drug administration, all rabbits underwent hair removal (both sides of the spine) and disinfection. The hair removal area was 5cm x 5cm. For the damaged skin group, a crisscross pattern was made on the bald area using a sterile syringe needle, 1mm deep, until slight bleeding occurred in the epidermis. Each incision was approximately 2cm long and considered as damaged skin. The experiment used a self-comparison method between the left and right sides of the same animal. Two 5cm x 5cm areas were taken from each rabbit on both sides of the spine, resulting in four skin test areas per rabbit. The three Japanese white rabbits had a total of 12 skin test areas: 6 for intact skin and 6 for damaged skin. The intact skin areas were encapsulated with transparent film, covered with non-irritating gauze, and secured with tape. Twenty-four hours after drug administration, the test drug was removed with physiological saline. At 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 ​​hours, and 72 hours after drug removal, the presence and resolution of local skin reactions such as erythema and edema were observed and recorded.

[0102] Experimental results show that after 72 hours of application of compounds I and II, the lightness L value (fair and smooth) of the damaged skin was higher than that of the control group, and there was no erythema or edema compared with the control group, indicating that it was not irritating to the skin of rabbits. This indicates that the two new lignan compounds I and II in the Schisandra chinensis oil provided by this invention are not irritating to the skin of rabbits.
