Description

Title of the invention: 5,6,5',6'-tetraphenyl-3,3'-(l,4-phenylene)-bis[l,2,4]triazine for improving the appearance of scars and / or reducing scar marks TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to 5,6,5',6'-tetraphenyl-3,3'-(1,4-phenylene)-bis[1,2,4]triazine (also called phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine), as well as a composition comprising it, for its use in improving the appearance of skin scars or scar marks and / or reducing scar marks, and in particular in reducing the redness of skin scars or scar marks. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] The skin is made up of different tissues forming a vital barrier for the body against the external environment. This barrier protects the body against external attacks, particularly chemical or mechanical.

[0003] The skin is made up of three main parts, the superficial one, the epidermis, the internal part, the dermis and a deeper layer, the hypodermis, which interact with each other.

[0004] The human epidermis is composed of four to five distinct layers (depending on the anatomical site) and four types of cells which are keratinocytes, which are the vast majority, melanocytes, Langerhans cells and Merkel cells. Each of these cell types contributes through its own functions to the essential role played in the body by the skin, in particular the role of protecting the body from external aggressions. The epidermal cells proliferate at the level of the deepest layer, the basal layer, and differentiate during their migration towards the upper layers to successively form the spinous layer, the granular layer and finally the horny layer (or stratum corneum) which is the most superficial layer of the epidermis.

[0005] Healing is a set of local defense phenomena occurring after an attack: injury, burn, dermatological procedure, surgical intervention. Wound healing is a complex and dynamic biological process that involves the interaction of numerous local and systemic factors in the normal repair of tissues.

[0006] The progression of healing involves several interdependent phases: hemostasis and inflammation, proliferation and remodeling. Proliferation involves three clearly observable processes: granulation, contraction and re-epithelialization.

[0007] During granulation, the proliferation and migration to the wound bed of cells that will be involved in the rest of the repair process is observed. Thus, macrophages, fibroblasts and endothelial cells are found there. Macrophages constantly release chemotactic factors and growth factors. Fibroblasts build the new cellular matrix necessary for the growth of cells at the bottom of the wound. This scaffolding promotes cell migration. Finally, endothelial cells trigger the formation of vascular buds that will form new capillaries, which will restore perfusion and ensure the supply of oxygen and nutrients essential to the metabolic activity of the cells in the wound.

[0008] Wound contraction is a mechanism for reducing wound size and fibroblasts play a leading role in this contraction.

[0009] Re-epithelialization consists of the regeneration of an epidermis that covers a wound to reform an effective barrier against the external environment, capable of pigmenting itself and regaining its sensory and immune functions. It therefore involves the cellular processes of migration and proliferation of keratinocytes, and the restoration of a basement membrane that covers the dermis and the epidermis. When the migration of basal cells towards the center of the wound allows the two edges of the wound to join, a wave of cellular mitosis occurs to fill the spaces left by the migration and provide cells for the epithelial tissue in three-dimensional regeneration.

[0010] The stages of proliferation of keratinocytes, fibroblasts or endothelial cells can be considered as one of the functional phenomena testifying to the healing activity of an active ingredient.

[0011] An increase in the proliferation of fibroblasts would participate in the healing of a deep wound (damage to the dermis), while the increase in the proliferation and / or migration of keratinocytes would participate in re-epithelialization.

[0012] Healing also poses aesthetic problems from the moment when healing defects, or poor healing, can occur, for example with age. The process of healing and recovery of skin lesions thus becomes less efficient, and unsightly and almost permanent visible marks can remain.

[0013] All surgical, aesthetic medicine, dermatology and non-medical traumatic lesions such as scratches, cuts, grazes, burns, but also pathological lesions such as acne, involve a healing phenomenon and result in scars, more or less marked depending on the quality of the this healing.

[0014] There are several types of skin scars depending on their shape, size or thickness: - Atrophic or depressed scar: This type of scar is generally characterized by small, circular, hollow, and sunken marks. These are often marks caused by severe acne or chickenpox. They are often the result of a lack of subcutaneous support or vascularization to the wound level. - Flat or white scar: This is the most common scar. It is supple, smooth, and white in color. This is considered the "normal" appearance of a well-formed scar, the result of a non-pathological healing process. - Hypertrophic scar: red and swollen, it can also itch and be itchy (an unpleasant sensation that causes the need to scratch). This scar appears in particular in the case of burns, but also following surgery. This is called a "postoperative scar". Its size can increase for several months before fading. However, it remains red, bulky and generally takes on the appearance of a cord. - Stretched scar: This is a long, hollow scar. It appears when the skin around the scar is stretched. Stretch marks are one of these types of scars.

[0015] However, at the beginning of healing, all scars tend to be red, this is a normal phenomenon linked to inflammation. The shades are also very variable depending on the color of the skin. The lesion will also remain red throughout the healing process, which will last more or less time depending on the size of the wound.

[0016] Exposure to the sun may further discolor the scar. The epidermis, which is thinner and more fragile at the scar, will then be very sensitive to UV rays throughout the skin repair process.

[0017] The field of photoprotection remains a major public health issue to prevent skin damage from overexposure to the sun. Skin damage is mainly induced by ultraviolet radiation (UVA and / or UVB), but also by visible light, in particular high-energy visible blue light, and infrared via damage to macromolecules leading to DNA lesions, oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation and degradation of the dermal matrix.

[0018] Thus, irritated skin exposed to UV rays is even more fragile and therefore requires more attention for good healing.

[0019] There is still a need to propose new compositions to promote and improve the healing of damaged or irritated skin, and to enable rapid repair of skin lesions and, above all, to obtain the most aesthetic scars possible. Summary of the invention

[0020] The Applicant observed that a composition comprising phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine made it possible to reduce scar marks and to reduce the red coloration of said marks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] 5.6.5'.6'-tetraphenyl-3.3'-f L4-phenylene)-bisri.2.41triazine

[0033] 5,6,5',6'-Tetraphenyl-3,3'-(l,4-phenylene)-bis[l,2,4]triazine, (CAS No.: 55514-22-2, trade name: Triasorb™) also called phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine, is a sunscreen, more specifically an ultra-broad spectrum sunscreen capable of filtering the harmful part of the solar spectrum, which includes UV radiation (UVB and UVA), but also high-energy visible blue light. In the remainder of the description, the names 5,6,5',6'-tetraphenyl-3,3'-(l,4-phenylene)-bis[l,2,4]triazine and phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine are used interchangeably.

[0034] The term “sunscreen” refers to a substance capable of filtering solar radiation to protect a surface, typically the skin or hair, against the harmful effects of this radiation.

[0035] A sun filter is called a “UVA filter” or “UVB filter” depending on whether it filters mainly UVA or UVB rays.

[0036] A so-called “broad band” or “broad spectrum” sun filter filters both UVA and UVB rays.

[0037] A so-called “ultra-wide band” or “ultra-wide spectrum” solar filter is a broad band solar filter as defined above which also filters high-energy visible blue light.

[0038] The term "ultraviolet radiation" or "UV radiation", commonly abbreviated "UV", refers to solar ultraviolet radiation but also to artificial ultraviolet radiation, generated by tanning lamps for example. It includes in particular UVA radiation and UVB radiation.

[0039] By “UVA radiation” or simply “UVA”, we mean ultraviolet rays having an X wavelength between 320 and 400 nm.

[0040] By “UVB radiation” or simply “UVB” is meant ultraviolet rays having an X wavelength between 290 and 320 nm.

[0041] By "high energy visible blue light" or "HEV" is meant rays having an X-ray wavelength between 400 and 450 nm, in particular between 400 and 450 nm.

[0042] Depending on the radiation filtration mechanism, that is to say depending on whether the radiation is absorbed and / or reflected, or even diffused by the solar filter, we distinguish, strictly speaking: - filters in the strict sense, which mainly absorb radiation, and - screens, which absorb and reflect radiation.

[0043] However, in the remainder of the description, the term “solar filter”, sometimes abbreviated “filter”, will be used interchangeably, whether it is a filter or a screen. The term “UV filter” can also be used instead of “solar filter”.

[0044] A sunscreen may be "lipo-soluble" or "water-soluble", depending on whether it dissolves more easily in lipids or in water, or even "insoluble". A non-soluble sunscreen is typically in particulate form, and may nevertheless be incorporated into a sunscreen composition, in particular in a dispersed form, in particular water-dispersed when it is dispersed in an aqueous phase.

[0045] Phenylenese bis-diphenyltriazine is a non-soluble type filter. In particular, it is a water-dispersible filter, which is typically in the form of an aqueous dispersion, comprising between 20% and 50%, in particular between 40% and 50% by weight of active material relative to the total weight of the dispersion.

[0046] Advantageously, the process for preparing the aqueous dispersion consists of grinding the insoluble organic filter in the form of particles, using a grinding apparatus and in the presence of a grinding aid. Conventionally, wet grinding processes are used (wet grinding, wet mixing) and the grinding aid allows better dispersion of the particles. These techniques are well known to those skilled in the art. The grinding apparatus may be, for example, a microbead mill, vibrating mill or ball mill. Depending on the grinding process, the grinding aid is chosen from the group consisting of anionic, non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants, emulsifiers and dispersants such as PPG-l-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether (Eumulgin® L, marketed by BASF).

[0047] In a particular embodiment, the size D50 of the phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine particles is between 100 and 1000 nm, more particularly between 100 and 500 nm, even more particularly between 120 and 400 nm, in particular between 120 and 250 nm, in particular between 120 and 200 nm, typically between 150 and 200 nm.

[0048] By “D50” or “median” particle size is meant the size for which the cumulative function F(D) is equal to 50%, F(D) being defined according to the following relation:

[0049] F(D i ) = \f(D)dD 0

[0050] in which: f(D) is the particle size distribution in number, and D; is a size class.

[0051] The value of the size D50 can be determined by laser diffraction, in particular using a Mastersizer 3000 laser diffraction granulometer, more particularly in liquid mode. Healing agent

[0052] Phenylenese bis-diphenyltriazine can be used in combination with at least one healing agent.

[0053] For the purposes of the present description, the term “healing agent” means an agent capable of improving and / or accelerating the healing process.

[0054] The healing agent may be, for example, zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, zinc gluconate, allantoin, panthenol, madecassoside, a lysate or secretome of a fermentation medium of a non-pathogenic bacterium, in particular lactic acid bacteria, proteobacteria and more particularly the secretome of Aquaphilus dolomiae (also called LMB64 bacteria), zinc oxide, aloe vera (in particular aloe vera gel), honey or a mixture thereof.

[0055] The healing agent may be in particular zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, panthenol, madecassoside, a secretome &Aquaphilus dolomiae or a mixture thereof. It may also be zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, panthenol, madecassoside, or a mixture of these.

[0056] The bacterium LMB 64, also called Aquaphilus dolomiae, is described in international application WO2012 / 085182 and filed in the name of the applicant at the National Collection of Cultures of Microorganisms (CNCM), Institut Pasteur, Paris, on April 8, 2010 under reference 1-4290.

[0057] The secretome of Aquaphilus dolomiae or of the bacterium LMB64 may be a bacterial secretome as defined in international application WO2018 / 185324, said secretome being capable of being obtained, or obtained, by a method comprising the steps of: a. cultivation of the LMB64 bacteria in a culture medium and conditions adapted to its growth, b. liquid / solid separation, in particular by centrifugation, and recovery of the liquid phase, c. obtaining the secretome comprising the biomolecules secreted by the LMB64 bacterium in the liquid phase, advantageously with the addition of a basic buffer (so as to have a pH advantageously between 8 and 12, in particular between 9 and 11), for example a Tris-arginine buffer.

[0058] According to a preferred embodiment, the method for preparing the bacterial secretome may comprise the following steps: • a first inoculum of LMB64 bacteria is prepared in a first suitable culture medium containing mineral, protein and carbohydrate substances suitable for this preculture, for example in an Erlenmeyer flask; • a second pre-fermentation culture in batch mode in a second culture medium close to or identical to the first culture medium (or any equivalent medium) is then carried out; • fed-batch fermentation in a medium identical or close to the second culture medium is then carried out, in order to obtain a high cell density; • a centrifugation step then allows the elimination of cells and cellular debris and the recovery of the culture supernatant (liquid phase); • a basic buffer (so as to have a pH advantageously between 8 and 12, in particular between 9 and 11), for example a Tris-arginine buffer, is added to the culture supernatant to give a buffered supernatant which is left in contact with the buffer for 1 to 7 hours, at a temperature between 1 and 6°C; • the buffered supernatant is then clarified by filtration, for example on a filter or filter cartridge with a threshold of 0.4 pm, preferably 0.2 pm, so as to eliminate suspended particles which would not have been eliminated during the centrifugation step.

[0059] The bacterial secretome can be prepared more particularly according to examples 1-2 of international application WO2018 / 185324.

[0060] The secretome &Aquaphilus dolomiae will be more particularly T aquaphilus dolomiae ferment filtrate (INCI name).

[0061] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "secretome" means all the biomolecules secreted and externalized by a bacterium, and more particularly the bacterium LMB64 or Aquaphilus dolomiae, without modification, alteration or lysis of the bacterial cell. These biomolecules more particularly comprise proteins, peptides and secondary metabolites secreted and externalized by the bacterium. These biomolecules will therefore be present in the culture medium.

[0062] By "culture medium" is meant any medium comprising at least the nutrients necessary for the growth and multiplication of bacteria. The culture medium is more particularly a liquid medium allowing the recovery of the culture supernatant containing the secretome. The culture medium may comprise in particular water, a carbon source, a nitrogen source and salts. Composition

It is more particularly a cosmetic or pharmaceutical (e.g. dermatological) composition. This composition may further comprise at least one healing agent as defined above.

[0064] In the present invention, the term "cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable" is intended to mean that which is useful in the preparation of a composition which may have a cosmetic or pharmaceutical application, and which is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable and which is acceptable for human cosmetic or pharmaceutical use.

[0067] For the purposes of the present invention, the term "emulsion" means any type of emulsion obtained by dispersing a discontinuous internal phase in a continuous external phase, one of these phases being an aqueous phase and the other being an oily phase. This is, for example, an oil-in-water or water-in-oil or multiple emulsion, preferably an oil-in-water emulsion.

[0068] The emulsion may be more or less fluid and may be in particular in the form of a white or colored cream, an ointment, a milk, a lotion, a serum, a paste, or possibly an aerosol, a mousse or a spray, and may also be water-resistant.

[0091] In this particular embodiment, the sunscreen (d), i.e. the EHT or the DBT, advantageously represents between 1% and 6%, typically between 2% and 5%, in particular between 3% and 5%, in particular between 3.5% and 4.5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.

[0092] The composition according to the invention comprises at least one cosmetically or pharmaceutically (eg dermatologically) acceptable excipient, which are in particular conventionally used in the art, for example chosen from liquid lipophilic compounds, water-miscible polyols, emulsifiers, consistency agents, water-retentive agents, texturizing agents, opacifiers, coloring pigments, anti-foaming agents, perfumes, preservatives, polymers, fillers, sequestrants, bactericides, odor absorbers, alkalinizing or acidifying agents, surfactants, free radical scavengers, vitamins, alpha-hydroxy acids, active agents (in particular moisturizing agents, anti- oxidants, etc., for example hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof such as sodium salt), thermal waters (eg Avène water), etc. Applications

[0093] Phenylenese bis-diphenyltriazine or a composition according to the invention comprising it makes it possible to improve skin scars or scar marks, more particularly makes it possible to improve the appearance of skin scars or scar marks, and / or to reduce scar marks.

[0094] By "scar" or "skin scar" is meant the mark left on the skin by an injury during and after repair of the skin tissue.

[0095] By "scar mark" is meant the mark left on the skin by an injury after the repair of the skin tissue.

[0096] Thus, phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine or a composition according to the invention comprising it makes it possible to reduce the redness of scars or scar marks. Since the scars or scar marks are less red, they are less visible and their appearance is improved. In particular, the redness of the scars or scar marks is reduced more strongly (i.e. in color intensity) and / or more quickly (i.e. in duration).

[0097] The skin will more particularly be damaged or irritated skin, in particular exposed to UV rays, such as solar radiation. The damaged skin will preferably be re-epidermized skin, that is to say that the lesion is epithelialized, namely that it is already covered by an epithelium (even if this may still be thin).

[0098] Skin lesions may appear following trauma or following medical or surgical procedures, invasive or non-invasive, curative or for aesthetic purposes.

[0099] The injured or irritated skin will preferably be skin with abrasions, scratches, cuts, scrapes, bites (e.g., insect bites), grazes, burns, abrasions (e.g., from rubbing), sutures, excoriated acne lesions, post-traumatic lesions, post-surgical lesions, lesions following a dermatology procedure, lesions following a cosmetic procedure, lesions following a cosmetic medicine procedure, a tattoo (e.g., less than six weeks old), or a combination thereof.

[0100] Lesions following a dermatology, aesthetic or aesthetic medicine procedure may follow cryotherapy, mesotherapy, waxing, treatment with intense pulsed light (hair removal) or laser (hair removal, ablative laser, vascular laser, particularly for the treatment of rosacea, etc.), peeling, etc. EXAMPLES

[0101] Example 1: Evaluation of the anti-red mark effect of a composition comprising phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine

[0102] A composition comprising phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine (composition 1) was evaluated after epidermal alteration obtained with an Erbium-YAG laser.

[0103] The objective of this study is to evaluate a reference composition comprising healing agents and a composition according to the invention comprising phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine on the erythema present during healing, after alteration of the skin with an Erbium-YAG laser.

[0104] This is a single-center study, compared with a reference commercial product (composition 2) and an untreated area, randomized for the area of ​​application of the products.

[0105] The measurements are carried out on 3 areas of the anterior faces of the 2 forearms (1 untreated area, 1 area on which composition 1 is applied, 1 area on which composition 2 is applied).

[0106] The study lasts 19 days in total and includes 10 visits without taking into account the pre-inclusion visit. The 10 visits allow for regular measurements throughout the study. The study includes 18 subjects.

[0107] Composition 1 is presented in Table 1 below:

[0108] [Tables] Ingredients (INCI Names) % (m / m) Phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine 3-3.5 Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine 2.5-3 Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate 5-6 Ethyl hexyl triazone 3.5-4 Caprylic / capric triglyceride 5 - 12 Glycerin 5-10 Aqua (Water demineralized) Qsp 100 11-15 Dicaprylyl carbonate 6-10 Polyglyceryl-6 stearate 2-4 Polyglyceryl-6 behenate 0.1-0.5

[0109] Composition 2 is detailed below. It is a skin repair balm.

[0110] Composition 2 (INCI Names): Aqua, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Dimethicone, Glycerin, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Shea Butter, Butylene Glycol, Aluminum Starch Octenyl Succinate, Propanediol, Panthenol, Cetyl PPG / PEG-10 / 1 Dimethicone, Tristearin, Zinc Gluconate, Madecassoside, Manganese Gluconate, Magnesium Sulfate, Disodium EDTA, Copper Gluconate, Acetylated Glycol Stearate, Poly-glyceryl-4 Isostearate, Sodium Benzoate, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, CI 77891 / Titanium Dioxide.

[0111] The epidermis of each subject is altered on D1 with an Erbium-YAG laser in 3 areas of a few square centimeters on the anterior surface of the forearms. One area is not treated, while compositions 1 and 2 are applied respectively to the other 2 areas.

[0112] Compositions 1 and 2 are applied twice a day, at a rate of approximately 2mg / cm2, for 18 days following laser ablation of the epidermis.

[0113] Erythema and skin pigmentation are assessed on the study areas at each visit from standardized photographs of the study areas taken at each visit up to D19 with a C-Cube camera. Erythema and skin pigmentation were objectively assessed using software for processing standardized photographs of the study areas using a C Cube camera. When the subjects are included, the photographs are taken before the alteration of the epidermis with the Erbium-YAG laser and then within 10 minutes after. During the following visits, the photographs are taken before the application of the products.

[0114] The results on the color of the erythema (measurement of the parameter “a” which reflects the red color) over time are summarized in Table 2 below.

[0115] [Tables 2] Day Parameter “a” - measurement of erythema color (Means ± standard deviation) Area treated with Composition 1 Area treated with Composition 2 (ref.) Untreated area Day 1, before laser 10.41 + 1.96 10.14 + 1.98 10.26 + 1.90 Day 1, after laser 14.61 + 1.95 14.77 + 2.07 15.01 + 1.82 Day 2 16.75 + 2.24 16.62 + 2.48 16.39 + 1.87 Day 3 13.94 + 1.83 12.96 + 1.65 14.05 + 1.47 Day 4 15.06 + 2.29 14.39 + 1.87 14.08 + 2.32 Day 5 14.29 + 2.45 13.73 + 2.20 13.96 + 2.06 Day 8 12.87 + 2.04 12.70+1.92 13.06 + 1.46 Day 10 12.25 + 1.75 12.11 + 1.74 12.63 + 1.60 Day 12 12.02+1.83 11.93 + 1.59 12.16 + 1.49 Day 15 11.24 + 2.13 11.33 + 1.80 11.60+1.42 Day 19 10.92+1.92 11.30+1.69 11.33 + 1.39

[0116] At the inclusion visit, the procedure performed by the laser induced a very significant increase in the parameter "a" measuring the red color of the erythema. This erythema was most marked on D2 in all groups. A significant reduction in erythema was then observed compared to the values ​​obtained after laser.

[0117] It is important to note that at the end of the study, residual erythema is found in the untreated group (p=0.0044 vs. pre-laser value), as with the reference composition 2 (p=0.0048). On the other hand, at the end of the study, after application of composition 1 according to the invention comprising phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine, the erythema was statistically no longer visualized (p=0.08).

[0118] Example 2: Clinical study on the efficacy and tolerance of a composition comprising phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine

[0119] The study is carried out on 87 subjects. They apply composition 1 according to the invention, twice a day for 3 weeks.

[0120] All subjects present irritated skin following: - a specific KTP vascular laser (14% of subjects), - cryotherapy (13% of subjects), - a tattoo (13% of subjects), - cuts and grazes (14% of subjects), - insect bites (7% of subjects), - abrasions from friction (11% of subjects), - excoriated acne (6% of subjects), - a glycolic acid peel (11% of subjects), or - an intense pulsed light laser (11% of subjects).

[0121] Dermatological checks are carried out on D1 before and after a first application, on D3, D8 and D22.

[0122] The various physical signs (erythema, edema, skin peeling, dry skin, blisters and papules) are assessed during these dermatological checks.

[0123] Table 3 below summarizes the effect of composition 1 obtained on D3, D8 and D22 compared to D1 before application on the sum of these physical signs (overall score awarded by the dermatologist)

[0124] [Tables3] D3 D8 D22 -27%, p<0.01 -50%, P<0.01 -74%, p<0.01

[0125] Furthermore, it should be noted that a significant reduction in erythema and edema is observed after only 2 days of application of composition 1 according to the invention.

[0126] The effectiveness of composition 1 according to the invention on the redness of irritated skin is also evaluated by spectrophotometer measurements. The latter converts the colors perceived by the human eye into a digital code using a camera. It is the parameter "a" which accounts for the red color. The results of this parameter "a" are summarized in Table 4 below.

After 21 days of application, the reduction in red marks reached 34% and confirmed the benefit of the composition according to the invention in improving scar marks. Subjects also evaluated composition 1 according to different efficacy criteria after 21 days of application: - Improves the appearance of red marks: 95% - Helps reduce red marks: 93% - Helps with skin repair after dermatological or aesthetic procedures or after tattoo: 97% - Improves skin repair: 98% Example 3: Evaluation of different compositions on the anti-redness effect The inflammatory phase (redness, swelling, heat, pain) is essential in the healing process. The objective of this study is therefore to induce skin inflammation and to highlight the anti-redness effect of phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine. The model used is a pig ear skin model including inflammatory stress (induced by a mixture of an inflammatory mediator chosen from TNF activating agents, an innate immunity mediator chosen from TRP receptor activating agents (TRPV1, TRPA1) and a bacterial component which is the LL-37 peptide). Cytokine production (e.g. IL-8) is then quantified by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). The following products are tested in this study: - a healing agent, - a healing agent in association with phenylene bis-diphenyltriazine, Bibliographic references • WO2012 / 085182 • WO2018 / 185324
