Description

Field of the Invention The invention relates to compositions comprising plant or fungal extracts in combination with phenol compounds, and the use of the composition in a method for decreasing lipid production in sebocytes. Also provided is the use of the composition in a cosmetic method for decreasing lipid production in the skin of an individual, and the use of the composition in a method of treating a skin disease or disorder related to increased lipid production in sebocytes. Background Sebum is an oily substance secreted by sebaceous glands in humans. Sebum is produced by sebocytes, highly-specialised epithelial cells commonly found in the skin in association with hair follicles, although there are also sebaceous glands not associated with hair follicles. Adult human sebum typically comprises triglycerides (-41%), wax monoesters (-25%), free fatty acids (-16%), and squalene (-12%) (Cheng et al., 2004). Other components, such as keratin and cellular materials, may also be present. Sebum forms an integral component of the epidermal barrier and the skin immune system. Sebum is a natural moisturizer for the epidermis, helping to maintain its integrity. Sebum is important in maintaining the pH of the skin surface, which may play a role in protecting the skin from exogenous (disease-causing) microbes and encouraging the growth of endogenous (resident) microflora. Sebaceous secretions in conjunction with apocrine (sweat) glands are also thought to play an important thermoregulatory role. Sebocyte formation is controlled by multiple molecular pathways (e.g. Blimpl, Wnt, C-myc, Hedgehog) and sebum synthesis is strongly regulated by hormones, in particular by androgens such as testosterone. Sebum is produced in a holocrine process, in which sebocytes rupture and disintegrate as they release the sebum along with cell remnants. During the terminal differentiation of sebocytes, metabolic activity is concentrated on the biosynthesis of lipids (lipogenesis), and in particular on the neosynthesis of fatty acids and squalene. The level of sebum production varies from person to person and is influenced by sex, age, physical activity, stress, certain medications, and disease. Oily skin is commonly observed in adolescence due to hormonal changes occurring throughout puberty. Excessive sebum production is associated with cosmetic problems, such as oily or shiny skin and poor retention of make-up, as well as medical problems. Excessive sebum production is seen in acne vulgaris, one of the most common skin diseases. Hyperseborrhea is a scalp problem caused by excessive production of sebum. Immediate symptoms of hyperseborrhea include scalp itchiness and pain, though later symptom is hair loss. Individuals with hyperseborrhoeic skin typically exhibit sebum levels of greater than 200 pg cnr2 measured on the forehead (as discussed, for example, in WO 2020 / 263188). Deregulated sebocyte differentiation also characterizes some rare benign and malignant tumors. Cosmetic treatments for excess lipid production generally do not address the underlying causes. Rather, cosmetic treatments typically provide relief from the direct symptoms, such as oiliness, enlarged pores, acne prone skin, and irregular skin texture. For example, a common approach to treating oily or shiny skin is the use of powders that provide an immediate masking effect by absorbing the excess sebum on the skin's surface. Alternatively, astringents and cleaning agents may be used. The known methods for reducing lipids on the skin surface are limited, producing little sustainable visible results over extended periods of time. Prolonged use of astringents and cleaning agents may exacerbate the condition. Accordingly, there is a need to develop compositions and methods for reducing lipid production in sebocytes and in the skin of an individual. Summary of the Invention At its most general, the invention relates to a composition comprising a plant or fungal extract in combination with a phenol compound. The inventors have found that such a composition provides superior lipid reducing effects in sebocytes. The phenol may be a stilbenoid, such as pterostilbene or piceatannol, a meroterpene, such as bakuchiol or delta3,2-hydroxylbakuchiol, or an abietane diterpenoid, such as ferruginol, sugiol or podocarpic acid. Accordingly, in a first aspect of the invention, there is provided a composition comprising: (a) a phenol compound according to formula (I), or a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable salt, prodrug, solvate, tautomer or stereoisomer thereof; and (b) a plant or fungal extract selected from extracts of plants belonging to the genus Arctostaphylos, Fragaria, Garcinia, Hedera, Ilex, and Rubus, and extracts of the fungus Wolfiporia, wherein: R1, R2, R3, and R4, are independently selected from H, F, OH, SH, OR6, CO2R7, OC(=O)R8, C1-6 alkyl, Ci-4haloalkyl, and C2-6 alkenyl; L is -CH=CH-, -CH2-CH2- or -C(=O)CH2-; R5 is selected from C2-15 alkenyl, Ce-u carboaryl and C5-14 cycloalkyl, any of which may be unsubstituted or substituted with one to four groups independently selected from F, OH, SH, OR9, CO2R10, OC(=O)R11, Ci-6 alkyl, C1-4 haloalkyl, and C1-4 hydroxyalkyl, and additionally the group R4 may form a covalent bond to the C5-14 cycloalkyl, thereby to form a 6-membered ring; and R6, R7, R8, R9, R10 and R11 are independently selected from H, C1-6 alkyl and C1-4 haloalkyl. Preferred features of the composition, such as the phenol compound and the plant or fungal extract, are set out below. The inventors have found that compositions of the first aspect reduce the production of lipids in sebocytes. Accordingly, in a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for decreasing lipid production in sebocytes, the method comprising contacting the sebocytes with a composition of the first aspect. This method may be in vivo or ex vivo, such as in vitro. The inventors have found that the compositions of the first aspect may reduce or ameliorate cosmetic problems associated with over-production of lipids in the skin, such as oily or shiny skin, oily hair, enlarged skin pores, undesirable body odour, and decreased retention of make-up products on the skin. Accordingly, in a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a cosmetic method for decreasing lipid production in the skin of an individual, the method comprising contacting the skin with a composition of the first aspect. The inventors have found that the compositions of the first aspect are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of medical problems associated with over-production of lipids in the skin, such as acne vulgaris and rosacea. Accordingly, in a fourth aspect of the invention, there is provided a composition of the first aspect for use in a method of treatment. In a further related aspect of the invention, there is provided a composition of the first aspect for use in a method of treating a skin disease or disorder associated with over-production of lipids in the skin, such as acne vulgaris and rosacea.

An example compound is ferruginol. An alkyl group is a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon group. The alkyl group may be a C1-6 alkyl group, for example a C1-4, C1-3 or a C1-2 alkyl group, such as Ci alkyl (methyl). In this context, the prefix (e.g. C1-6) denotes the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon backbone. The alkyl group may be linear or branched.

A haloalkyl group is an alkyl group in which one or more hydrogen atoms, such as one or all of the hydrogen atoms, is replaced with a halogen atom, for example F, Cl, Br and I. The haloalkyl group may be a C1-4 haloalkyl group, for example a C1-3 or a C1-2 haloalkyl group, and these may be monohalo or perhalo alkyl groups. In this context, the prefix (e.g. C1-4) denotes the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon backbone. Examples of Cim haloalkyl groups include chloromethyl (-CH2CI), fluoromethyl (-CH2F), difluoromethyl (-CHF2), trifluoromethyl (-CF3), choroethyl (-C2H4CI), monolfluorethyl (-C2H4F), pentafluoroethyl (-C2F3), heptafluoropropyl (-C3F7) and nonafluorobutyl (-C4F9). A hydroxyalkyl group is an alkyl group in which one or more hydrogen atoms, such as one hydrogen atom, is replaced with hydroxy (-OH). The hydroxyalkyl group may be a C1-4 hydroxyalkyl group, for example a C1-3 or a C1-2 hydroxyalkyl group, such as a Ci hydroxyalkyl group. A hydroxyalkyl group may be a monohydroxyalkyl group. In this context, the prefix (e.g. C1-4) denotes the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon backbone. Examples of C14 hydroxyalkyl groups include hydroxymethyl (-CH2OH) and hydroxyethyl (such as -CH2CH2OH). An alkenyl group is a monovalent unsaturated hydrocarbon group containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. The alkenyl group may be a C2-15 alkenyl group, for example a C2-5, C2-4 or a C2.3 alkenyl group, or alternatively a C4-15, C4-12, C4-10, Ce-w, or a Cw alkenyl group. In this context, the prefix (e.g. C2-6) denotes the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon backbone. The alkenyl group may be linear or branched. The alkenyl group may contain one or more, such as two or more, such as three more, carbon-carbon double bonds. Where two or more double bonds are present, these may be conjugated or not. Examples of C2-15 linear alkenyl groups include ethenyl (vinyl), 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl (allyl), 1-butenyl, 2-butenyl, 1-pentenyl, 2-pentenyl, 3-pentenyl, 1-hexenyl, 2-hexenyl, 3-hexenyl, and 4-hexenyl.

A carboaryl group is a monovalent hydrocarbon group comprising an aromatic ring in which all of the ring atoms are carbon atoms. The carboaryl group may be a Ce-14 carboaryl group, for example a Cs-w or a Ce carboaryl group. In this context, the prefix (e.g. Ce-io) denotes the number or range of ring atoms. The carboaryl group may be monocyclic, or it may comprise two or more rings. Examples of monocyclic carboaryl groups include those derived from benzene (phenyl). The carboaryl group may be part of a fused ring system. In a fused ring system the carboaryl group comprises two or more rings, wherein at least one of the rings is an aromatic ring in which all of the ring atoms are carbon atoms, and wherein each ring shares two adjacent ring atoms with each neighbouring (fused) ring. Thus, the bridgehead atoms are directly bonded. The carboaryl group is connected via an aromatic ring in the fused ring system. Examples of carboaryl groups comprising fused rings include groups derived from indane (2,3-dihydro-1H-indene), indene, isoindene; naphthalene, dialin (1,2-dihydronaphthalene), tetralin (1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene), azulene; acenaphthene; fluorene, phenalene; and anthracene and phenanthrene. A cycloalkyl group is a monovalent hydrocarbon group comprising a non-aromatic ring in which all of the ring atoms are carbon atoms. The cycloalkyl group may be a C5-14 cycloalkyl group, for example a C5-10, a C5-10, or a C5, Ce or C10 cycloalkyl group. In this context, the prefix (e.g. C5-10) denotes the number or range of ring atoms. The carboaryl group may be monocyclic, or it may comprise two or more rings. Each ring may be partially unsaturated or saturated, and is preferably saturated. Examples of monocyclic cycloalkyl groups include those derived from cyclohexane (cyclohexyl) and cyclopentane (cyclopentyl). The cycloalkyl group may be part of a fused ring system. In a fused ring system, the cycloalkyl group comprises two or more rings, wherein at least one of the rings is a cycloalkyl ring in which all the ring atoms are carbon atoms, and wherein each ring shares two adjacent ring atoms with each neighbouring (fused) ring. Thus, the bridgehead atoms are directly bonded. The cycloalkyl group is connected via a cycloalkyl ring in the fused ring system. An example of a cycloalkyl group comprising fused rings include groups derived from decalin (decalinyl). In a preferred embodiment, R1, R2, R3, and R4, are not all OH. For example, not one of R1, R2, R3, and R4 is OH. In a preferred embodiment, R1, R2, R3, and R4 are not all CO2H. For example, not one of R1, R2, R3, and R4 is CO2H. In one embodiment, at least two, such as two or four, of R1, R2, R3, and R4 is H. For example, each of R1, R2, R3, and R4 is H, or R1 and R3 is H. The linker L may be -CH=CH-. This is preferred when R5 is C2-15 alkenyl or C3-14 carboaryl. The group -CH=CH- preferably has a trans arrangement. The linker L may be -CH2-CH2- or -C(=O)CH2-. This is preferred when R5 is C5-14 cycloalkyl. This is further preferred when the group R4 forms a covalent bond to the C5-14 cycloalkyl, thereby to form a 6-membered ring. When L is -C(=O)CH2-, the methylene (-CH2-) may connect to R5. Here, the carbonyl group (-C(O)-) in the linker connects to the phenol portion of the compound of formula (I). When R5 is C5-14 cycloalkyl, R4 preferably forms a covalent bond to the C5-14 cycloalkyl, thereby to form a 6-membered ring.

Primary Sebocytes Culture Primary sebocytes were cultured to 80% confluency in Complete Culture Medium with Y-27632 (CCMY) consisting of 3:1 DMEM (Gibco, 11995-065) / F12 (Gibco, 31765-035), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone, SV30160.03), 1x Penstrep (Gibco, 15140-122), 0.2 pg / mL Epidermal Growth Factor (PeproTech, AF-100-15-1MG), 1 pg / mL Hydrocortisone (Sigma-Aldrich, H0888), 10-9 M cholera toxin (Sigma-Aldrich, C8052-2MG) and 10 pM Y-27632 (Tocris, 1254 / 10) at 37°C with 5% CO2. The cells were washed with PBS buffer [5 mL for a 10 cm culture plate] and then incubated at 37°C with 0.125% Trypsin-EDTA (Gibco, 15400054) [2 mL of Trypsin for a 10 cm culture plate] for 5-10 minutes. When all the cells had detached, neutralisation media consisting of DMEM with 10% FBS and 1x Penstrep (2 mL of neutralisation media for a 10 cm culture plate) was added, and the cells were transferred to a 15 mL conical tube and centrifuged at 1,000 rpm for 5 minutes. After centrifugation, a cell pellet was formed, the supernatant was discarded and the cells were resuspended in culture medium. The cells were cultured in a CelCulture CO2 Incubator VOL (Esco Lifesciences). Cells were counted by loading onto a hemocytometer, with the cells observed using a CKX41 Inverted Microscope (Olympus) and manually counted. General Test Protocol A test composition was added to the well of a 24 well plate to achieve a final concentration of 10 pM for the compound (4 pL of a 10 mM stock solution made up in DMSO into 396 pL of culture media) or 31.25 pg / mL for the extract (4 pL of a 3,125 pg / mL stock solution made up in DMSO into 396 pL of culture media). Primary sebocytes were seeded at 60 x 106 cells per well (396 pL) in culture media. The cells were incubated for 3 days at 37°C and 5% CO2. The media was discarded, AdipoRed™ dye (0.06 %v / v in PBS) was added and the cells incubated at 37°C for 20 minutes. The staining solution was discarded, trypsin (0.125%; 250 pL) was added and the cells incubated at 37°C for 5-10 minutes. When all cells had detached, fixative solution (250 pL; MEM without phenol red, 10% fetal bovine serum and 4% paraformaldehyde) was added and the cells transferred to 5 mL polystyrene tubes. The tubes were stored on ice before flow cytometry. Mean fluorescence intensity of the lipid signal can be obtained from the flow cytometer plot which are used to determine the inhibitory effect of the compounds on the sebocytes. Example 1 The lipid reduction effects of the compositions of the invention were measured against DMSO as a negative control, and against the known lipid-reducing compounds epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and salicylic acid (SA) as positive controls. The results are shown in Table 3 and Figure 1. The results demonstrate that a composition comprising a phenol compound (bakuchiol (B)) and a plant extract (either Hedera helix extract (HH), Ilex aquifolium extract (IA) or Rubus idaeus extract (RI)) provides improved lipid reduction in comparison to the individual compound or extract. The results demonstrate a synergistic effect for the composition against the individual compounds. For reference, data is also provided for the activity of a xanthone compound (alpha-mangostin (AM)) and a triterpenoid compound (oleanolic acid (OA)), each used alone and together with a plant extract (Rubus idaeus extract (RI)).
