Description

Title of the invention: COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING A SENNOSIDE

[0001] The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions comprising a compound of formula (I) as described below or an optical isomer thereof, or a cis-trans isomer thereof, or a tautomer thereof or a salt thereof, in particular an inorganic or organic salt thereof or a solvate thereof, such as a hydrate thereof, and their use for promoting and / or accelerating skin regeneration, for preventing and / or treating signs of aging, and for promoting and / or accelerating wound healing. The invention also relates to cosmetic methods comprising the application of such compositions.

[0002] Human skin is made up of two compartments: a deep compartment, the dermis, and a superficial compartment, the epidermis. The epidermis is in contact with the external environment and its role is to protect the body from dehydration and external chemical or mechanical aggressions.

[0003] Accelerated wound closure is an area of ​​intensive scientific research aimed at improving healing following skin injury or in skin whose barrier function is compromised. For example, the skin barrier may become unbalanced, for example, after a cosmetic procedure such as laser treatments and chemical peels, or in the presence of external aggressions, such as irritants (detergents, acids, bases, oxidants, reducing agents, concentrated solvents, toxic gases or fumes), mechanical stresses (friction, shocks, abrasion, tearing of the surface, projection of dust, particles, shaving or hair removal), thermal or climatic imbalances (cold, dryness, radiation), xenobiotics (undesirable microorganisms, allergens) or internal attacks such as psychological stress.Following such external aggressions, a healing process is triggered, aimed at quickly and completely restoring this barrier. This physiological process depends on complex biological mechanisms involving numerous molecules and enzymes.

[0004] There is a need for compositions which promote skin healing and, in particular, which accelerate skin healing.

[0005] The objective of the invention is therefore to propose a cosmetic composition which meets all these requirements.

[0006] The inventors have surprisingly discovered that natural molecules of formula (I) are capable of accelerating wound healing and are therefore potentially useful for skin regeneration.

[0007] The present application provides compositions for accelerating skin regeneration following skin injury or following a cosmetic procedure, for promoting healing following said skin injury and / or improving the effectiveness of cosmetic skin procedures. Use of the compositions will result in faster healing time and recovery from the procedure, resulting in a greater patient willingness to undergo cosmetic procedures.

[0091] Organotypic healing of 3D reconstructed skin wounds

[0092] Reconstructed T-skin models were constructed as previously described (Bataillon, et al., Characterization of a New Reconstructed Full Thickness Skin Model, T-SkinTM, and its Application for Investigations of Anti-Aging Compounds. Int J Mol Sci. 2019 May;20(9)). Briefly, keratinocytes and fibroblasts were isolated from skin biopsies. A ring was placed on the surface of the epidermis that would prevent keratinocyte coverage of this area, providing an area of ​​exposed collagenized dermis and simulating a partial-thickness wound. At day 10, The ring was removed and the wound treated with either an indicated raw material or a control vehicle of 1 / 1000 DMSO in PBS. The wound was treated every three days. Oncostatin (10 ng / mL) and vitamin C (100 pg / mL) were used as positive controls. The closure rate was determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT) to monitor wound closure. The closure rate is expressed as the percentage increase in closure compared to that of the control. Data are presented as box plots with 3 replicates per condition in Figures 1 and 2. Statistical analysis was done using one-way ANOVA with post-hoc analysis and Levene's test for homogeneity of variance. Data are representative of three independent experiments. RESULTS

[0093] The compound of formula (I) accelerates wound healing in an organotypic 3D reconstructed skin model

[0094] A wound healing model was used to determine the ability of sennoside A (50 pM) to accelerate wound closure over a twenty-day period. The two positive controls Oncostatin M (2 ng / mL) and Vitamin C (100 pg / mL) accelerated wound closure on days 14 ([Fig.l]) and 15 ([Fig.2]), as expected. Similarly, sennoside accelerated wound closure. These data demonstrate that sennoside can accelerate the healing and regeneration of cutaneous wounds. CONCLUSION

[0095] These data demonstrate that a compound of formula (I) results in wound closure in a 3D reconstructed skin healing model. The invention therefore has clear indications for use in skin regeneration, wound healing, promoting skin healing following a surgical / cosmetic procedure and associated skin health outcome indicators requiring modulation of skin cells.
