Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical and cosmetic technology, specifically to a spermidine composition with anti-aging effects. Background Technology

[0002] In current technologies, utilizing natural active ingredients for anti-aging intervention has become an important research direction in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields. Spermine, as a naturally occurring polyamine, has been proven to have the potential to induce autophagy and maintain cellular homeostasis, thus exhibiting anti-aging activity. To enhance the effect of single ingredients, researchers often attempt to combine them with other active substances. Fucoxanthin, due to its antioxidant properties, is also used in anti-aging formulations; theoretically, the combination of the two can enhance protective effects through multi-pathway regulation of cells. However, existing spermidine complex compositions still face significant challenges in achieving synergistic anti-aging effects. Common formulations often only involve simple physical mixing, lacking effective synergistic effects between components. This results in the scavenging of age-related secretory phenotypic factors and the comprehensive protection of skin fibroblasts failing to meet expectations. In particular, how to fully leverage the synergistic effects of spermidine and fucoxanthin, the two core active ingredients, in a stable system to protect cells and combat aging remains a problem that current technologies have not yet adequately solved. On the other hand, there are also bottlenecks in the formulation process. The physicochemical properties of components such as spermidine and fucoxanthin differ significantly, and simple mixing cannot guarantee the long-term stability of the system, easily leading to problems such as layering and activity degradation, directly affecting the product's bioavailability and final efficacy. Conventional emulsification processes may not achieve high uniformity and stability of the carrier, making it difficult to ensure efficient delivery of active ingredients and their action on the target. Therefore, developing a spermidine composition that maximizes the synergistic anti-aging effect of each component and possesses good stability is of great significance for meeting practical application needs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by providing a spermidine composition with significant synergistic effects, high system stability, excellent bioavailability, enhanced cell protection, improved anti-aging efficacy, and stable applicability in skin care and anti-aging products. To achieve an anti-aging spermidine composition, comprising a SASP inhibitor as shown in Formula 1: Formula 1: ; R1 in Formula 1 is selected from any one of methyl, methoxy, ethyl, phenyl, isopropyl, and butyl. Furthermore, R1 is selected from any one of methyl, methoxy, ethyl, and phenyl. Furthermore, the SASP inhibitor is any one of the compounds shown in the following structures: ; . A spermidine composition with anti-aging effects is composed of the following components in parts by weight: 5-15 parts spermidine, 3-8 parts fucoxanthin, 1-4 parts SASP inhibitor, 10-20 parts nicotinamide, 2-6 parts sodium hyaluronate, 12-25 parts soybean lecithin, and 3-5 parts ergothioneine. Furthermore, the mass ratio of spermidine to fucoxanthin is 2-3:1. Furthermore, the purity of the spermidine is 99.99%; The purity of the fucoxanthin is 99.99%. Furthermore, the soybean lecithin is high-purity hydrogenated soybean lecithin, wherein the purity of phosphatidylcholine is 95%. A method for preparing a spermidine composition with anti-aging effects includes the following steps: S1. Dissolve the soybean lecithin and SASP inhibitor in anhydrous ethanol, and stir at a constant temperature of 45-55℃ to form a clear lipid solution; S2. The spermidine, fucoxanthin, nicotinamide, sodium hyaluronate and ergothioneine are dispersed in deionized water and premixed at a pressure of 20-40 MPa to obtain a mixed aqueous phase; S3. The lipid solution obtained in step S1 is added dropwise to the mixed aqueous phase obtained in step S2 at a rate of 5-10 ml per minute, while a high shear disperser with a shear force of 10000-15000 r / min is turned on for emulsification. S4. The emulsified material is fed into a high-pressure homogenizer and homogenized 3-5 times at a pressure of 80-120MPa. Then, residual ethanol is removed using a vacuum rotary evaporator to obtain the composition. Furthermore, the premixing process in step S2 is carried out under nitrogen gas protection; In step S4, the condensation temperature of the vacuum rotary evaporator is controlled between -5 and 0°C. The application of a spermidine composition with anti-aging effects in the preparation of a drug for clearing aging-related secretory phenotypic factors and protecting skin fibroblasts from damage. In the synergistic anti-aging system composed of spermidine and fucoxanthin, SASP inhibitors play a crucial regulatory role. Speridine primarily promotes autophagy and maintains homeostasis, while fucoxanthin focuses on providing antioxidant defense. The introduction of SASP inhibitors specifically regulates the abnormally active inflammatory signaling network in senescent cells. Their molecules may influence the production and release of pro-inflammatory factors through interactions with related proteins in the pathway, thereby helping to alleviate the chronic low-grade inflammatory microenvironment induced by age-related secretory phenotypes. This regulation of inflammatory pathways, combined with the autophagy-promoting effects of spermidine and the antioxidant effects of fucoxanthin, forms a multi-dimensional protective network at the cellular level, jointly enhancing the protection of target cells such as skin fibroblasts and synergistically delaying the cellular aging process. The structural characteristics of this SASP inhibitor also offer certain benefits during the construction and stabilization of the composition. Its molecules possess both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, which helps achieve a more balanced distribution in complex systems containing spermidine, fucoxanthin, and other components, reducing the tendency for phase separation due to differences in properties. During preparation steps such as emulsification or homogenization, its presence may have a mild influence on the interfacial properties of the two phases, contributing to the formation and maintenance of a more uniform and delicate emulsion or dispersion structure, which is beneficial for the long-term physical stability of the active ingredients. Simultaneously, its presence in the formulation system, through intermolecular interactions, provides a buffering effect on core active substances such as spermidine and fucoxanthin, reducing the direct impact of external environmental factors on the active ingredients and supporting the maintenance of the composition's biological efficacy during storage. Therefore, the mechanism of action of this SASP inhibitor lies in the following: From a biological activity perspective, it modulates specific aging-related inflammatory pathways, compensating for the key links in the anti-aging spectrum of spermidine and fucoxanthin, achieving synergistic effects across multiple targets and pathways, and enhancing the overall ability of the composition to protect cells and resist aging; from a physicochemical perspective, its molecular characteristics help improve the homogeneity and stability of the entire composition system. Combined with the core efficacy of spermidine and fucoxanthin, it forms an important foundation for the significant synergistic effect and good application stability of this anti-aging composition. Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Achieving multi-target synergistic anti-aging effects: Addressing the lack of effective synergy in existing technologies with simple compounding, this approach introduces a SASP inhibitor with a specific structure. This inhibitor complements the autophagy-promoting effect of spermidine and the antioxidant effect of fucoxanthin, synergistically regulating cell autophagy, redox balance, and aging-related secretory phenotypes, thereby providing a more comprehensive intervention in the skin cell aging process. 2. Improve the stability and bioavailability of the composition system: In response to the problems of system instability and easy degradation of activity caused by large differences in the physicochemical properties of components in the existing technology, a uniform and stable carrier system is formed by optimizing the component ratio and adopting a specific high-pressure emulsification and homogenization preparation process, which is conducive to the retention and efficient delivery of active ingredients. 3. Enhanced comprehensive protective efficacy against skin fibroblasts: Compared with the unsatisfactory protective effects mentioned in the background art, this composition, through the above-mentioned multi-component synergy and system optimization, shows a better ability to maintain cell viability, promote the expression of autophagy markers and inhibit the secretion of aging-related inflammatory factors in cell models, providing a more effective solution for skin anti-aging applications.

Comparative Example 1 (without the SASP inhibitor) showed significantly worse results than the example groups in all indicators, confirming the necessity of the specific SASP inhibitor in synergistic enhancement. Comparative Example 2 (using resveratrol instead of the SASP inhibitor) was better than Comparative Example 1 but less effective than the example groups, indicating that the specific SASP inhibitor described in this invention has superior synergistic performance. The protective effects of Comparative Example 3 (without spermidine) and Comparative Example 4 (without fucoxanthin) decreased to varying degrees, confirming the key roles of spermidine and fucoxanthin as core active ingredients in protecting cells, resisting oxidative stress, and the aging process. The data for Comparative Example 5 (without ergothioneine) were close to but slightly inferior to the example groups, indicating that ergothioneine has an auxiliary enhancing effect on the anti-aging effect of this system.
