Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of peptide technology, and particularly to linear and cyclic hexapeptides, compositions thereof, and their use in the care of skin or mucous membranes. Background Technology
[0002] As the largest organ in the human body, the skin not only performs physiological functions such as barrier protection and sensing external stimuli, but its condition also directly affects the body's appearance. With age, environmental factors, and unhealthy lifestyle habits, the skin is prone to various problems such as aging, dullness, and abnormal sebum secretion, which seriously affect skin health and appearance.
[0003] Skin aging is a complex physiological process, mainly manifested as increased wrinkles, decreased elasticity, sagging, and dull skin tone. Current research indicates that glycation is a significant contributing factor to skin aging. Glycation refers to the reaction between reducing sugars (such as glucose and fructose) and biological macromolecules like proteins, lipids, or nucleic acids under non-enzymatic conditions, gradually generating a series of stable, irreversible advanced glycation end products (AGEs). In skin tissue, the accumulation of AGEs causes cross-linking of collagen and elastin, leading to structural and functional abnormalities. Macroscopically, this manifests as loss of skin elasticity, wrinkles, and a dull, yellowish complexion—signs of aging. Furthermore, the accumulation of AGEs exacerbates oxidative stress and inflammation, which in turn stimulate excessive sebum secretion, leading to an imbalance of oil and water in the skin. This further damages the integrity of the skin structure, accelerates the internal aging process, and amplifies the damage caused by external factors such as ultraviolet radiation and pollution, further worsening skin aging problems.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the aforementioned skin problems, it is necessary to develop a novel polypeptide that has multiple functions, including inhibiting glycation, regulating sebum secretion, and delaying skin aging, to meet consumers' skin care needs. Summary of the Invention

[0067] 1.1 Swelling of the resin
[0068] Weigh 80g of 2-CTC Resin into a solid-phase synthesis reaction column, swell it with DCM, wash the resin, and remove the solvent.
[0069] 1.2 Feeding and Reaction
[0070] Weigh 78 g of Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH into a dry Erlenmeyer flask, dissolve it in DMF, and cool it in an ice-water bath for 10 min. Add 90 mL of DIPEA and activate for 10 min. Add the activated Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH to the swollen resin and react for 3 h. Remove the reaction solution, wash the resin, and remove the solvent. Continue to add DCM, MeOH, and DIPEA for end-capping treatment for 40 min. Wash the resin, remove the solvent, and obtain Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin.
[0071] Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin was deprotected twice with 20% piperidine / DMF, 5-10 min each time. A sample was tested with K (K+) and a deep blue color was observed. The resin was washed 7 times with DMF, and the solvent was removed. 63.8 g of Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH and 24.3 g of HOBt were weighed and added to a dry Erlenmeyer flask. DMF was added to dissolve the amino acids, and the flask was sealed and placed at -18°C for 30 min. 34.6 mL of DIC was added for activation for 3 min. The activated amino acids were added to the deprotected resin and reacted for 1 h. The reaction solution was then removed.

Add the activated Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-OH to the swollen resin and react for 3 h. Remove the reaction solution, wash the resin, and remove the solvent. Continue adding DCM, MeOH, and DIPEA for end-capping treatment for 20 min. Wash the resin, remove the solvent, and obtain Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin.
[0093] Fmoc-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin was deprotected twice with 20% piperidine / DMF, 10 min each time. A sample was tested for K, and a deep blue color was observed. The resin was washed 7 times with DMF, and the solvent was removed. 16.1 g of Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-OH and 6.2 g of HOBt were weighed and added to a dry Erlenmeyer flask. DMF was added to dissolve the flask, and the flask was sealed and placed in a -18°C refrigerator for 30 min. 8.5 mL of DIC was added for activation for 3 min. The activated amino acid was added to the deprotected resin and reacted for 1 h. The reaction solution was then removed. A colorless and transparent K test of the resin indicated complete reaction, yielding Fmoc-Glu(OtBu)-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin.
[0094] The N-terminal Fmoc group was deprotected, and 13.4 g of the activated Fmoc-Nle-OH was coupled to a peptide resin in the presence of 6.2 g HOBt and 8.5 mL DIC using DMF as a solvent, with the reaction lasting 1 h. The resin was then washed, and the deprotection treatment of the Fmoc group was repeated to couple the next amino acid. In each coupling, 32.7 g of Fmoc-Arg(Pbf)-OH was coupled using DMF as a solvent in the presence of 8.2 g HOBt and 11.7 mL DIC; 20.3 g of Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH and subsequently 20.3 g of Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-OH were coupled sequentially in the presence of 7.2 g HOBt and 10.2 mL DIC; after the reaction was complete, the resin was washed, the solvent was removed, and Fmoc-Tyr(tBu)-Tyr(tBu)-Arg(Pbf)-Nle-Glu(OtBu)-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin was obtained.
[0095] The N-terminal Fmoc group of the peptide resin was deprotected twice with 20% piperidine / DMF, 10 min each time. A sample was taken for K-test, and a deep blue color was observed. The resin was washed 6 times with DMF, and the solvent was removed. After shrinkage and drying, 46 g of H-Tyr(tBu)-Tyr(tBu)-Arg(Pbf)-Nle-Glu(OtBu)-Asp(OtBu)-2-CTC Resin was obtained.

[0120] Take one flask of SZ-95 cells in good exponential growth phase, add 0.25% trypsin digestion solution, digest to detach the adherent cells, and count (1~4)×10⁻⁶ cells. 5 Cells were cultured at a concentration of [number] cells / mL to prepare a cell suspension. An appropriate amount of the cell suspension was seeded into a 12-well plate containing complete culture medium and incubated in a CO2 incubator for 24 h. Except for the blank control group which received PBS, each well of the other plates received FFA to a final concentration of 225 μmol / L. Simultaneously with induction of cell modeling, the experimental groups received the corresponding test samples, while the model group received the same amount of PBS. The plates were incubated in a CO2 incubator for 48 h. The culture medium was then discarded, and staining was performed according to the Oil Red O staining kit instructions.
[0121] Discard the solution in the well plate, add isopropanol to dissolve the Oil Red O staining solution, and measure the absorbance at 490 nm using a microplate reader. Calculate the relative content of lipid secretion from the cells based on the absorbance values.
[0122] Relative oil content = (OD value of test group / OD value of blank control group) × 100%
[0123] 3.6 Experimental Results
[0124] Oil Red O is a fat-soluble dye that is highly soluble in fat. Its staining principle is that Oil Red O specifically adsorbs onto neutral triglycerides, lipids, and lipoproteins in tissues and cells, thus staining the fat. Free-floxacin (FFA) is an inducer; under FFA stimulation, SZ-95 cells secrete large amounts of oil that can be stained by Oil Red O. In this experiment, test samples were used to treat SZ-95 cells induced by FFA stimulation. By detecting the amount of oil produced by SZ-95 cells, the extent to which the disclosed peptide can inhibit sebum secretion by sebaceous gland cells was determined.
[0125] The results of the effects of the test samples on lipid secretion in SZ-95 cells are shown in Table 3.

Compared with linear hexapeptide B, cyclic hexapeptide A, obtained by cyclocyclizing hexapeptide B head-to-tail, has a significantly enhanced ability to inhibit sebum synthesis and secretion.

[0145] 4.6 Experimental Results
[0146] Calcium ion influx plays a crucial role in skin and muscle contraction. Inhibiting calcium ion influx can reduce excessive muscle contraction, improve skin surface wrinkles, and reduce wrinkle depth, thereby achieving an anti-wrinkle effect. The calcium ion content in cells is directly proportional to the fluorescence staining intensity; that is, the stronger the fluorescence intensity, the higher the calcium ion content in the cells. This experiment determined whether the disclosed peptide could inhibit calcium ion influx by detecting the relative fluorescence intensity of calcium ions in Neuro-2a cells.
[0147] The results of the test samples on the calcium ion influx in Neuro-2a cells are shown in Table 4.

[0150] Note: Compared with the control group, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001.
[0151] The results showed that, compared with the control group, both cyclic hexapeptide A and hexapeptide B of this disclosure significantly reduced calcium ion content in Neuro-2a cells and inhibited calcium ion influx. Compared with linear hexapeptide B, cyclic hexapeptide A, obtained by cyclocyclizing hexapeptide B head-to-tail, significantly enhanced its ability to inhibit calcium ion influx. Therefore, the compounds of this disclosure can effectively inhibit calcium ion influx, thereby inhibiting muscle contraction, and can be used to prevent or reduce wrinkles, exhibiting anti-aging effects.

[0162] Experimental group: Cyclic hexapeptide A, hexapeptide B, aminoguanidine hydrochloride.
[0163] 5.4 Experimental Methods
[0164] Prepare 5 mmol / L MGO solution, 10 mg / mL BSA solution, and 1 mg / mL aminoguanidine hydrochloride solution. Add a mixture of 10 mg / mL BSA, 5 mmol / L MGO, and Proclin 300 to 0.2 mol / L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) to prepare AGEs. Add each group of test samples to the BSA-MGO model at a 1:1 volume ratio and shake well. Incubate all reaction mixtures at 37°C under sterile conditions for 7 days. The blank control group is prepared by replacing the test samples with the same volume of PBS, with the remaining procedures identical. Before determining the anti-glycation effect, each reaction mixture is diluted 5-fold with PBS and then transferred to a 96-well black plate to detect its fluorescence intensity at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm and an emission wavelength of 420 nm. The AGEs inhibition rate of the test samples is calculated using the following formula:
[0165] AGEs inhibition rate % = (1 - F1 / F0) × 100%
[0166] Where F1 is the fluorescence value of the test sample and F0 is the fluorescence value of the blank control.
[0167] 5.5 Experimental Results
[0168] Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are stable end products formed by the non-enzymatic glycation reaction of proteins with reducing sugars. The amount of AGEs generated, which exhibits fluorescence properties, is positively correlated with their fluorescence intensity. In this experiment, an in vitro AGEs generation model was constructed using BSA and MGO. By detecting changes in fluorescence intensity in different samples, the anti-glycation activity of the peptide disclosed in this study was determined.
[0169] The inhibition rates of the test samples against AGEs are shown in Table 5.

[0172] Note: Compared with the blank control group, ** P <0.01, *** P <0.001.
[0173] Aminoguanidine hydrochloride can effectively inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and has anti-glycation effects, often used as a positive control in anti-glycation experiments. In this experiment, aminoguanidine hydrochloride showed anti-glycation effects even at low concentrations. The cyclic hexapeptide A and hexapeptide B disclosed herein can also inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products to some extent at low concentrations. Compared to linear hexapeptide B, cyclic hexapeptide A, obtained by cyclocyclizing hexapeptide B end-to-end, further enhances its ability to inhibit AGE formation. The compounds disclosed herein can effectively inhibit AGE formation, reduce the damage of glycation reactions to the skin, improve dull and sallow skin, thereby delaying skin aging, brightening skin tone, and exhibiting anti-aging and anti-glycation effects.
