Description

TITLE: Cyclodextrin derivatives, their manufacturing process and their applications

[0001] The present invention relates to new cyclodextrin derivatives (hereinafter abbreviated as "CDs" in the plural or "CD" in the singular), and their applications in a wide variety of fields, including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, plant protection, agrochemical, textile and various industrial fields (e.g. paints, pigments).

[0002] In these different fields, it is well known to encapsulate active substances (for example, pharmaceutical or cosmetic active ingredients, food additives, nutraceutical products, plant protection products, perfume essences, microorganisms, pigments, dyes) in individualized particles (micro- or nanoparticles).

[0003] Furthermore, the encapsulation of active substances is implemented in order to: - to increase their activity time, due to the improvement of their chemical stability, by protecting them from light and / or interactions with other incompatible components (oxidation...), - to mask a taste or smell; - to ensure a prolonged and controlled release, for example in the dermis, in the case of cosmetic active compounds, or in the digestive tract, in the case of active substances in the agri-food industry.

[0004] Among the many encapsulation techniques, some use "host" molecules that contain a cavity allowing the formation of inclusion complexes with "guest" molecules (e.g., active substances). These "host" molecules can be mineral molecules such as zeolites and kaolinites, as well as organic molecules such as crown ethers, cyclophanes, and CDs.

[0005] The encapsulation process, common to all these "host" molecules (also called "cage molecules"), is as follows: the "host" molecule admits one or more "guest" molecules into its cavity, either partially or completely, through weak interactions but without the formation of any covalent bonds. This also allows for easy dissociation of the resulting inclusion complex. The complexation phenomenon is the result of numerous interactions involving the host molecule, the guest molecule, and the solvent, leading to the most thermodynamically stable state.

[0006] The encapsulation of active compounds using CDs through the formation of an inclusion complex is an encapsulation technique of choice.

[0007] Indeed, a CD is a cyclic oligosaccharide obtained by the enzymatic degradation of amylose (a linear form of starch, and therefore a renewable resource) using an enzyme, cyclodextrin glucosyltransferase (CGTase), of bacterial origin (Bacillus macerans, Alkalophylic bacillus). CDs thus have the advantage of being biodegradable.

[0008] More specifically, a CD is composed of n glucopyranose units in chair conformation, which are linked together by alpha (1-4) glycosidic bonds.

[0009] The most abundant and therefore most commonly used CDs, known as natural or native CDs, are alpha-CDs (hexamers), beta-CDs (heptamers), and gamma-CDs (octamers), for which n is respectively equal to 6, 7, and 8. Other CDs exist for which: - n is smaller, for example n is equal to 5; - n is higher, and can reach values ​​from 9 to 30, or even more, for example delta-CD (n is equal to 9) and epsilon-CD (n is equal to 10).

[0010] As examples, the chemical structures of alpha-CD(1) and beta-CD(2) are as follows:

[0011] Beta-CD is the CD that complexes the most molecules and whose derivatives are the most used.

[0012] CDs generally (especially alpha-, beta- and gamma-CDs) have a three-dimensional structure in the shape of a conical cylinder (or in other words a "lampshade") whose wall is made up of glucopyranose units in chair conformation.

[0013] CDs have a central cavity, as can be seen in chemical structure (3) below.

[0014] The size of the cavity depends on the number of glucopyranose units contained in the CD.

[0015] The openings of the cavity are lined by hydroxyl groups.

[0016] More specifically, the secondary hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose units attached to carbons C2 and C3 are located around the widest entrance of the cavity (also called the "secondary face"), or in other words, the larger side of the conical cylinder. The presence of these secondary hydroxyl groups gives the outer part of the CD a hydrophilic character (designed to be in contact with a polar solvent).

[0017] The primary hydroxyl groups, carried by the C6 carbons, are located around the other opening of the conical cylinder, also called the "primary face".

[0018] The wall of the central cavity of CDs is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, as well as ether bonds. The lone pairs of electrons on the oxygen atoms forming glycosidic bonds are oriented towards the interior of the cavity, where the electron density is therefore high. Consequently, the interior of the CD cavity, lined with hydrogen atoms on carbons C3 and C5, and oxygen atoms (O-4) participating in the glycosidic bond, is relatively nonpolar and hydrophobic.

[0019] Finally, the formation of hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups located on the C2 and C3 carbons of two adjacent glucopyranose units contributes to the rigidity of the CD structure.

[0020] CDs thus exhibit a macrocyclic structure with a hydrophobic interior and a hydrophilic exterior.

[0021] This amphiphilic nature allows them to incorporate hydrophobic molecules into their cavity to form water-soluble inclusion complexes. Indeed, in aqueous solution, the nonpolar cavity of CDs is occupied by water molecules, which is energetically unfavorable (polar-polar interactions). These water molecules can be readily replaced by a suitable "guest" molecule that is less polar than water.

[0022] More generally, the cyclic structure and their cavity allow CDs to form inclusion complexes with a large number of highly varied molecules (neutral, charged, polar, or nonpolar). The association of a CD with a guest molecule, as well as the dissociation of the complex formed, are governed by thermodynamic equilibrium.

[0023] Therefore, encapsulation in CDs can, in certain cases, protect fragile molecules (for example, from ultraviolet radiation, oxidation, or temperature), and ensure their slow and controlled release in aqueous media based on this thermodynamic equilibrium. Furthermore, the formation of inclusion complexes of molecules that are poorly or not at all soluble in water (for example, cosmetic or pharmaceutical active ingredients) with CDs increases their apparent solubility and stability. These properties are notably used to improve the bioavailability of cosmetic or pharmaceutical active ingredients.

[0024] Furthermore, because each glucopyranose unit has three reactive hydroxyl groups which are carried by the carbons C2, C3 and C6, it is known to synthesize a multitude of CD derivatives from so-called natural CDs and synthetic reagents, by replacing certain hydroxyl groups of the said natural CDs with a wide variety of groups, neutral or ionic such as alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, sulfobutyl, glucosyl, acetyl, amine, ether or ester groups from the said synthetic reagents.

[0025] CD derivatives are generally used to satisfy at least one of the following needs that are not always perfectly met by natural CDs: - the modulation of their solubility in different solvents; - the improvement of their complexation capacity; - the fixing of a specific group (for example for a vectorization application).

[0026] Like CDs, certain water-insoluble CD derivatives are of industrial interest because they are particularly suitable for preparing dispersible systems in which CDs and their derivatives are in particulate form (micro- or nanoparticles). These particles are indeed used in a wide variety of applications.

[0027] For example, in the pharmaceutical industry, such particles are useful for stabilizing or delivering active substances. They can also be used in plant protection products, where they can be used to deliver insecticides or pesticides. In cosmetics and dermatology, these particles can transport active compounds to the dermis. In industrial sectors, such as paints, varnishes, and surface treatments, these particles provide dispersions useful for delivering pigments, reagents, and strippers in the form of very low-viscosity aqueous dispersions that are easy to spray or apply. Finally, these particles can also be used in printing, reprographics, and the surface treatment of textiles and fibers.

[0028] In order to obtain dispersible systems containing particles suitable for such applications, it is essential that: - CD derivatives are designed to self-organize in the aqueous phase to form said particles while also being able to accommodate at least one active substance within their cavity, - said particles remain stable over time.

[0029] As explained above, CDs and their derivatives have the advantage of being produced from compounds derived from natural resources, making them, in some cases, biodegradable. To limit the environmental impact of such particles obtained from CD derivatives and to ensure they are as natural as possible, it is highly beneficial to limit the use of surfactants, which are commonly used to promote the self-organization of CD derivatives but are generally non-biodegradable products of synthetic chemistry.

[0030] Therefore, given all these needs, both in terms of improving solubility, forming an inclusion complex, and self-organization to obtain particles that are stable over time, there is still a real interest in developing new bio-based CD derivatives that fully satisfy them.

[0031] The inventors of the present invention have succeeded in developing new CD derivatives that perfectly fulfill all these needs.

[0032] The invention relates to a CD derivative characterized in that it comprises: - glucosidic subunits of the following chemical structure (4): in which x is an integer between 0 and 18, preferably between 0 and 12; - optionally at least one glucoside subunit of chemical structure (5): the total number of glucoside subunits of chemical structure (4) and chemical structure (5) is equal to an integer n between 5 and 30, preferably between 6 and 8, at least 2 x among the x of the glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) are different from each other.

[0033] The CD derivative must have at least 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) which are different from each other, because x is not the same integer in these at least 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4).

[0034] In embodiments of the invention, the CD derivative may not include a glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (5). The number of glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (5) is equal to 0 and the number of glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) is then equal to the integer n.

[0035] In embodiments of the invention in which the CD derivative comprises at least one glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (5), the total number of glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) and of the at least one glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (5) is equal to the integer n.

[0036] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 6. The derivative of CD is a derivative of alpha-CD. In another embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7. The derivative of CD is a derivative of beta-CD. In another embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 8. The derivative of CD is a derivative of gamma-CD.

[0037] In one embodiment of the invention, the CD derivative comprises glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) with 2 different x values. In another embodiment of the invention, the CD derivative comprises glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) with 3 different x values. In one embodiment of the invention, x may be between 4 and 10, namely x may be equal to 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10.

[0038] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 3 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (5).

[0039] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 1 glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 4 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (5).

[0040] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 3 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 1 glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 3 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (5).

[0041] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 3 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (5).

[0042] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 4 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 1 glucosidic subunit with chemical structure (5).

[0043] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 4 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 1 glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 2 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (5).

[0044] In one embodiment of the invention, n is equal to 7 and the derivative of CD comprises: - 5 glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 10; - 1 glucosidic subunit of chemical structure (4) in which x is equal to 4; - 1 glucosidic subunit with chemical structure (5).

[0045] The invention also relates to a process for preparing a CD derivative according to the invention as described above, characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps: a) a mixture is prepared comprising at least: - a native CD comprising n glucopyranose units, n being an integer between 5 and 30, preferably between 6 and 8, - an enzyme configured to catalyze a transesterification reaction at the hydroxyl group on carbon C2 of the glucopyranose units of native CDs and CD derivatives; b) a 1 is added to said mixture er vinyl ester with the following chemical structure (6): in which x is an integer between 0 and 18, preferably between 0 and 12, said 1 er Given that the vinyl ester is in stoichiometry m, and ni is an integer less than n, to perform a 1 ère transesterification reaction between native CD and 1 er vinyl ester and so as to obtain at the end of this 1 ère transesterification reaction a 1 erThe so-called "intermediate" CD derivative in the reaction medium corresponds to the native CD in which neither hydroxyl groups on the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of said native CD have reacted with said 1 er vinyl ester; c) at least one 2 is added to the reaction medium containing the so-called "intermediate" CD derivative ème vinyl ester of chemical structure (6) whose x value is different from the x value of 1 er vinyl ester, said 2 ème vinyl ester being added in stoichiometry n2, n2 being an integer such that the sum of ni and n2 is less than or equal to n, to achieve, in the presence of said enzyme, at least one 2 ème transesterification reaction between the 1 er derived from CD called "intermediate" and at least one 2 èmevinyl ester wherein n2 hydroxyl groups among the hydroxyl groups borne by the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of said CD derivative called "intermediate" have reacted with said 2 ème vinyl ester so as to obtain at the end of at least one 2 ème transesterification reaction of said CD derivative according to the invention; d) optionally, step c) is repeated one or more times; all vinyl esters added to the reaction medium during said preparation process are of chemical structure (6), all x of these vinyl esters are different from each other and the sum of the stoichiometries of all these vinyl esters is less than or equal to n.

[0046] As explained above, by "native CD" we mean a natural CD or in other words a CD that has not been chemically modified.

[0047] Preferably, the native CD is chosen from the group consisting of alpha-CD (n equals 6), beta-CD (n equals 7), and gamma-CD (n equals 8). Most preferably, the native CD is beta-CD.

[0048] In an advantageous embodiment, prior to step a), the native CD can be solubilized in a non-aqueous solvent, preferably one that preserves the integrity of the enzyme and in which the native CD can be dissolved. This solvent can be an organic solvent or an ionic liquid that meets these criteria. For example, the organic solvent can be chosen from the group consisting of dimethyl sulfoxide (hereinafter abbreviated as "DMSO"), dimethyl formamide (hereinafter abbreviated as "DMF"), and pyridine. For example, the ionic liquid can be 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium. The choice of a suitable solvent is perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0049] The x of the chemical structures (6) of all the vinyl esters used in the process for preparing the CD derivative according to the invention is an integer between 0 and 18, preferably between 0 and 12. Preferably, the vinyl esters used in this process are selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate, vinyl butyrate, vinyl hexanoate, vinyl decanoate, vinyl octanoate, vinyl laurate, and vinyl myristate. Most preferably, these are vinyl butyrate and vinyl decanoate.

[0050] The enzyme is configured to catalyze a transesterification reaction at the hydroxyl groups attached to the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of: - any native CD and - any CD derivative, including at least one so-called "intermediate" CD derivative.

[0051] In other words, the enzyme is regioselective of the hydroxyl groups carried by the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of native CDs and CD derivatives, including at least one so-called "intermediate" CD derivative.

[0052] The enzyme can be a protease or a lipase.

[0053] Preferably, the enzyme is thermolysin. Thermolysin is a protease. For example, it could be the enzyme marketed by Sigma Aldrich under the trade name P1512-250mg.

[0054] In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the enzyme is immobilized on a support. The support can be diatomaceous earth (for example, Celite®). Immobilizing the enzyme on a support is a conventional method and therefore perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0055] Immobilizing the enzyme on a support (for example, celite®) provides the following advantages: - the stabilization of the enzyme during transesterification reactions; - facilitate the purification of the CD derivative following the transesterification reactions; - the repeated use of the same enzyme for several transesterification reactions.

[0056] Without limiting the scope of the invention, the enzyme can be immobilized on a support in the following manner (the so-called "adsorption" method): - the enzyme is mixed, preferably at room temperature (e.g. 20°C), with a buffer solution (e.g. a 3-morpholino-1-propanesulfonic buffer solution with a pH of approximately 7) to obtain an enzyme suspension; - the enzyme suspension thus obtained is added to a support (for example celite®) in order to obtain a mixture; - the liquid phase of the mixture thus obtained is removed, for example under reduced pressure and preferably at room temperature, so as to obtain the immobilized enzyme.

[0057] During the 1 ère transesterification reaction, according to the stoichiometry of the 1 er vinyl ester which is implemented, part of the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units is substituted to give glucosidic subunits of the chemical structure (4) as detailed above.

[0058] In other words, the degree of molecular substitution of the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) with a determined x corresponding to the x of chemical structure (6) of the 1 er vinyl ester depends on the stoichiometry of 1 er vinyl ester which is implemented during the 1 èretransesterification reaction. Depending on the desired degree of molecular substitution for the 1 ère transesterification reaction, it is perfectly within the reach of a person skilled in the art to determine the stoichiometry of the 1 er vinyl ester to be implemented (or in other words the quantity of 1 er vinyl ester to be implemented in the reaction medium).

[0059] In this regard, within the framework of the present invention, the "degree of molecular substitution" corresponds to the number of hydroxyl groups on the C2 carbons that are substituted to give glucosidic subunits of the chemical structure (4) with a determined x corresponding to the x of the chemical structure (6) of the vinyl ester determined for a specific transesterification reaction during the preparation process according to the invention, and this per molecule of native CD used. The degree of molecular substitution thus takes into account the number of glucopyranose units that the native CD comprises.

[0060] The "total degree of molecular substitution" thus corresponds to the number of all the hydroxyl groups on the C2 carbons that are substituted to give glucosidic subunits of the chemical structure (4) with determined x values ​​corresponding to the x values ​​of the chemical structures (6) of the vinyl esters used for all the transesterification reactions carried out during the preparation process according to the invention, and this per molecule of native CD used in the step a) The total degree of molecular substitution is therefore less than or equal to n, which corresponds to the number of glucopyranose units in the native CD.

[0061] The process for preparing the CD derivative according to the invention comprises at least 2 transesterification reactions which employ vinyl esters all different from one another, namely in the value of x of their chemical structure (6).

[0062] At least one 2 èmevinyl ester different from 1 er vinyl ester, by virtue of their x values ​​of their chemical structures (6), is added to the reaction medium such that at least one 2 ème A transesterification reaction is initiated. During this 2 ème transesterification reaction, all or part of the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of the so-called "intermediate" CD derivative (in other words, the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of the native CD that were not substituted during the 1 ère transesterification reaction) are substituted to give glucosidic subunits of chemical structure (4) in which x corresponds to x of chemical structure (6) of at least one 2 ème vinyl ester.

[0063] At the end of at least one 2 èmetransesterification reaction, a CD derivative according to the invention is obtained in which all or part of the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of the so-called "intermediate" CD derivative have been substituted to give glucosidic subunits of the chemical structure (4) in which the length of the fatty chain is different.

[0064] Depending on the desired degree of substitution of the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the remaining glucopyranose units to give, from at least one 2 ème vinyl ester, glucosidic subunits of the chemical structure (4), it is perfectly within the reach of a person skilled in the art to determine the stoichiometry of at least one 2 ème vinyl ester to be implemented (or in other words the quantity of at least one 2 ème vinyl ester to be implemented in the reaction medium).

[0065] As explained above, the process for preparing a CD derivative according to the invention may include more than 2 transesterification reactions, for example 3 transesterification reactions, 4 transesterification reactions, 5 transesterification reactions, with respectively 3 different vinyl esters, 4 different vinyl esters, 5 different vinyl esters.

[0066] The vinyl esters used in the preparation of the CD derivative according to the invention must all be different from each other with respect to the x of their chemical structure (6).

[0067] Furthermore, the vinyl esters must be added to the reaction medium in determined stoichiometries such that the sum of the stoichiometries of all the vinyl esters used in the process of preparing a CD derivative according to the invention is less than or equal to n (namely the number of glucopyranose units included in the native CD used in step a) of said preparation process).

[0068] Because the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units of all the native CD molecules present in the reaction medium are not all substituted to the same degree of molecular substitution during each of the transesterification reactions carried out during the preparation process, a complex mixture containing different CD derivatives according to the invention, the structure of which has been described above, is obtained at the end of this preparation process.

[0069] However, during the implementation of the process for preparing a CD derivative according to the invention, it was found that, because the enzyme (preferably thermolysin) was very regioselective, the number of different types of CD derivatives thus obtained was relatively small (about six) compared to the theoretical number expected considering all possible combinations of substitution of hydroxyl groups according to various degrees of molecular substitution.

[0070] All or part of the transesterification reactions of the process for preparing a CD derivative can be carried out simultaneously or sequentially.

[0071] In one embodiment of the invention, all transesterification reactions are carried out simultaneously. Thus, in this embodiment of the invention, steps b) and c) and, optionally d) are performed simultaneously.

[0072] In one embodiment of the invention, all transesterification reactions are carried out sequentially. In other words, in this embodiment of the invention, all transesterification reactions are carried out one after the other (i.e., successively).

[0073] In one embodiment of the invention, at the end of step b) and before the execution of step c), the so-called "intermediate" CD derivative can be recovered after precipitation (for example by centrifugation or filtration) of the reaction medium of the 1 èretransesterification reaction and, optionally, be purified (for example, as described below). Step c) is then carried out in a reaction medium comprising at least the so-called "intermediate" CD derivative thus recovered (and optionally purified) and said enzyme configured to catalyze a transesterification reaction at the hydroxyl group on carbon C2 of the glucopyranose units of native CDs and CD derivatives, to which said at least one 2 is added ème vinyl ester of chemical structure (6) so as to carry out at least one 2 ème transesterification reaction.

[0074] In other words, in this embodiment of the invention, the transesterification reactions are carried out sequentially, and between each transesterification reaction, the so-called "intermediate" CD derivatives thus synthesized are recovered and possibly purified so that each new transesterification reaction is initiated with purified "intermediate" CD derivatives. In other words, the "intermediate" CD derivatives are purified as they are obtained in the reaction medium. continue transesterification reactions based on purified so-called "intermediate" CD derivatives.

[0075] In another embodiment of the invention, the transesterification reactions are carried out sequentially by directly and progressively adding the other vinyl ester(s) to the reaction medium, without having recovered or possibly purified the so-called "intermediate" CD derivatives obtained during the addition of the vinyl ester(s). In other words, in this embodiment of the invention, there is no intermediate purification of the CD derivatives obtained in the reaction medium.

[0076] In one embodiment of the invention, some of the transesterification reactions are carried out sequentially and the remaining transesterification reactions are carried out simultaneously.

[0077] In one embodiment of the invention, at the end of step c) or optionally at the end of step d), the CD derivative according to the invention thus obtained is recovered and optionally purified.

[0078] The conditions for the transesterification reactions implemented during the process of preparing a CD derivative according to the invention may advantageously be at least one of the following, taken alone or in combination thereof: - the temperature of the reaction medium can be between 20°C and 70°C, preferably between 40°C and 45°C; for example 45°C; - the reaction medium can be subjected to agitation, for example at an agitation speed of between 1 revolution / minute and 500 revolutions / minute, preferably between 200 revolutions / minute and 250 revolutions / minute.

[0079] Following the transesterification reactions, advantageously, the CD derivative thus prepared can be recovered and purified.

[0080] Indeed, at the end of the transesterification reactions, a synthetic product containing the unpurified CD derivative according to the invention is obtained.

[0081] Without limiting the scope of the invention, in a 1 er According to the embodiment of the invention, the recovery and purification of the CD derivative can be carried out in the following manner: 1) the enzyme is removed by centrifugation or filtration from the reaction medium thus obtained at the end of the last transesterification reaction and the supernatant or filtrate is recovered; 2) the synthesis product is precipitated from the supernatant (or filtrate) thus recovered by mixing in a non-solvent (i.e. a solvent in which the CD derivative according to the invention is not soluble) of the synthesis product (for example by adding a volume of an aqueous solution of methanol containing 35% by volume of methanol for a volume of supernatant); 3) in order to eliminate any possible traces of synthesis solvent (for example the solvent in which the native CD was optionally solubilized, in particular DMSO), the synthesis product is then isolated by solubilization cycles in a volatile organic solvent (for example tetrahydrofuran (hereafter abbreviated as "THF") or acetone) and then by precipitation in acetonitrile; 4) The isolated product obtained at the end of step 3) is then solubilized in a solvent (by example ethanol, acetone, THF), then filtered and dried (for example under reduced pressure or under vacuum) so as to obtain the CD derivative in a purified form.

[0082] Without limiting the scope of the invention, in a 2 ème According to the embodiment of the invention, the recovery and purification of the CD derivative can be carried out in the following manner: 1) the enzyme is removed by centrifugation or filtration from the reaction medium thus obtained at the end of the last transesterification reaction and the supernatant or filtrate is recovered; 2) the supernatant or filtrate thus obtained is diluted 1 / 3 to 1 / 4 in water, preferably distilled water, which is then frozen (for example at -80°C); 3) The solvent in which the native CD and water were solubilized is removed by sublimation under reduced pressure (e.g. 0.002 mbar), e.g. at room temperature (20°C), so as to obtain the CD derivative in a purified form.

[0083] The implementation of the recovery and purification of the CD derivative according to the invention is perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0084] As explained above, the inventors discovered that the characteristics of the CD derivatives according to the invention, as detailed above, enabled them to spontaneously self-organize satisfactorily in a solvent (e.g., water) to obtain particles of the CD derivative.

[0085] Therefore, the invention also relates to a particle (micro- or nanoparticle) which is characterized in that it comprises at least one CD derivative according to the invention as described above or at least one CD derivative obtained according to the preparation process as described above.

[0086] Depending on its size, the particle according to the invention can be a microparticle or a nanoparticle.

[0087] In one embodiment of the invention, said particle may further comprise at least one active substance.

[0088] As mentioned above, CDs and CD derivatives are host molecules that can form inclusion complexes with at least one guest molecule such as an active substance.

[0089] In one embodiment of the invention, said CD derivative according to the invention and at least one active substance can form an inclusion complex.

[0090] In another embodiment of the invention, said particle further comprises at least one active substance that does not form an inclusion complex with said CD derivative according to the invention. In this embodiment, the active substance is encapsulated within the particle based on the CD derivative according to the invention.

[0091] The active substance may be chosen from the group consisting of pharmaceutical active ingredients (for human or animal use), cosmetic active ingredients, plant protection active compounds, food active compounds, food active compounds, biological active compounds, colorants and pigments.

[0092] The active substance can be any suitable molecule, whether or not it forms an inclusion complex with the CD derivative according to the invention. The choice of the active substance is perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0093] The particle according to the invention may comprise one or more different active substances.

[0094] In one embodiment of the invention, the particle comprises an active substance that may or may not form an inclusion complex with the CD derivative. In another embodiment of the invention, the particle comprises two different active substances that may or may not form an inclusion complex with the CD derivative.

[0095] The particle size according to the invention can be between 0.1 pm and 2 pm, preferably between 0.15 pm and 1 pm.

[0096] Advantageously, the particles according to the invention can be spheroidal.

[0097] The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing particles according to the invention, which is characterized in that it comprises at least the following steps: a) a 1 era mixture comprising at least one CD derivative according to the invention as described above or at least one CD derivative obtained according to the preparation process according to the invention as described above, a polar organic solvent and, optionally at least one er surfactant and / or at least one 1 ère active substance; b) a 2 is prepared ème a mixture comprising at least water and, optionally at least one 2 ème surfactant and / or at least one 2 ème active substance; c) one of the 1 is added er or 2 ème mixing with the other mixture, so as to obtain a suspension of said particles.

[0098] In other words, in the 1 er mixture, the presence of 1 er surfactant, as well as the 1 ère The active substance is optional. In the 2 ème mixture, the presence of 2 ème surfactant, as well as the 2 ème The active substance is optional.

[0099] In one embodiment of the invention, said 1 er mixture may include a 1 ère active substance.

[0100] In one embodiment of the invention, said 1 er mixture may include two 1 ères active substances.

[0101] In step a), the polar organic solvent is advantageously miscible in any proportion with water, preferably distilled water.

[0102] In step a), the polar organic solvent can be chosen from the group consisting of acetone, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and THF, taken alone or in mixtures thereof.

[0103] In step a), the 1 er The surfactant can be a non-ionic lipophilic surfactant, preferably with an HLB between 4 and 8. HLB is the English acronym for "Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance," which translates to "hydrophilic / lipophilic equilibrium." The aforementioned 1 erThe surfactant can be a sorbitan ester (for example, sorbitan oleate).

[0104] In step a), the 1 ère The active substance is preferably a molecule soluble and / or miscible in the 1 er mixture. Said 1 ère The active substance is insoluble in water. Thus, the 1 ère The active substance is preferably fat-soluble. 1 ère The active substance can be chosen from among pharmaceutical (human or animal) or cosmetic active ingredients, plant protection product active compounds, food active compounds, food processing active compounds, biological active compounds, colorants, and pigments. For example, it could be a derivative of vitamin C, vitamin E, curcumin, or a lipophilic preservative.

[0105] In step a), the 1 erThe mixture may also include at least one lipophilic compound. This may be a vegetable oil (e.g. olive oil, sunflower oil), a synthetic oil (e.g. Miglyol®), an essential oil (e.g. tea tree essential oil), a butter, or any other lipophilic compound (e.g. benzyl benzoate, isopropyl myristate, a hydrocarbon).

[0106] In this embodiment of the invention, namely when the 1 er If the mixture further comprises at least one lipophilic compound, a capsular-type particle suspension is obtained. These particles include: - an outer envelope containing at least one CD derivative according to the invention as described above or obtained according to the preparation process as described above, and optionally the 1 er surfactant and the 2 ème surfactant; - a core based on the lipophilic compound in which the 1 is optionally dispersed or solubilized ère active substance, said core is surrounded by the outer shell.

[0107] If a 2 ème the active substance is present in the 2 ème When mixed, it ends up in the aqueous phase of the particle suspension.

[0108] The outer envelope is in the form of a wall of very regular thickness.

[0109] Capsular-type particles have the advantage that their nucleus allows for a greater capacity to carry active substances.

[0110] In this regard, it should be noted that when the 1 er If the mixture lacks lipophilic compounds, a suspension of matrix-like particles is obtained. These particles are dense and composed of a matrix, or in other words, a network. In other words, these matrix-like particles do not have cell walls.

[0111] In step b), the 2 ème The surfactant may be a non-ionic hydrophilic surfactant, preferably with an HLB greater than or equal to 10. Said 2 ème For example, the surfactant can be chosen from the group consisting of sugar-derived surfactants, for example alkyl glucosides such as decyl glucoside.

[0112] In step b), the 2 ème The active substance is preferably a molecule soluble in 2 ème mixture. The 2 ème active substance may be chosen from pharmaceutical active compounds (for human or animal use), cosmetic active compounds, plant protection active compounds, food active compounds, food active compounds, biological active compounds, colorants, pigments and preservatives that are hydrophilic.

[0113] In step b), the water can be distilled, salted, acidified or alkalized water.

[0114] The particle preparation process according to the invention can be carried out at a temperature that has little or no effect on its proper execution. This temperature can be any temperature at which the 1 er and the 2 ème The mixtures are liquid. Choosing the temperature is perfectly within the capabilities of a skilled professional. The temperature can be ambient temperature (approximately 20°C).

[0115] The ratio of the volume of 1 er mix on the 2 ème The mixture can be between 3 / 1 and 1 / 5, preferably between 1 / 2 and 2 / 1.

[0116] The mass percentage of at least one 1 er surfactant and / or at least one 2 ème surfactant (if used during the particle preparation process according to the invention), expressed as a percentage of the total mass of the particle suspension obtained at the end of step c), may be between 0.1% and 10%, preferably between 0.2% and 2%.

[0117] Preferably, step c) is carried out under agitation, for example at an agitation speed of between 50 rpm and 1000 rpm, preferably between 250 rpm and 500 rpm.

[0118] Agitation can be achieved by means of a magnetic stir bar.

[0119] In step c), the particle suspension forms almost instantaneously. In other words, in the aqueous phase, the CD derivatives according to the invention spontaneously self-organize.

[0120] In one embodiment of the invention, at the end of step c), all or part of the polar organic solvent can be removed. The removal of all or part of the polar organic solvent can, for example, be carried out under reduced pressure. This step of removing the polar organic solvent is perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0121] Furthermore, at the end of step c), or possibly at the end of this polar organic solvent removal step if this step is performed, all or part of the water can be removed under vacuum until a suspension of particles according to the invention is obtained at a desired concentration, or the particles are in solid form. This step of concentrating the particle suspension is perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0122] The particle suspension obtained at the end of step c), or possibly at the end of the polar organic solvent removal step, or even at the end of the particle suspension concentration step if this or these steps are carried out, can be filtered. The filtration of the particle suspension is perfectly within the capabilities of a person skilled in the art.

[0123] At the end of step c), the suspension of particles thus obtained can also be sterilized, buffered (for example to physiological pH), and lyophilized.

[0124] The particles according to the invention, whether of matrix or capsular type, have the advantage of allowing a high incorporation rate of the 1 ère active substance. This is due to the possibility of two systems of incorporation (i.e., molecular or particulate encapsulation) of the active substances into said particles: - firstly, a charge from the 1 ère active substance in the matrix in the case of matrix-type particles or, in the nucleus in the case of capsular-type particles, and - Secondly, a possible charge of the 1 ère active substance in the cavity of the CD derivative, due to the fact that said 1 ère active substance may have a suitable conformation relative to the cavity of the CD derivative.

[0125] Thanks to the particles according to the invention, the 1 ères active substances exhibit improved physicochemical stability due to their integration within particles that remain stable over time, which are obtained by spontaneous and durable self-organization of CD derivatives according to the invention and which can further form inclusion complexes with said 1 ère active substances.

[0126] Advantageously, no surfactant is used during the manufacturing process of particles according to the invention so that said particles are as natural and biodegradable as possible.

[0127] Because the particles according to the invention comprise CD derivatives capable of forming inclusion complexes with one or more active substances, they offer the following advantages: - they allow the bioavailability of said active substances to be modulated; - they improve the chemical stability of said active substances, by protecting them from light and / or interactions with other incompatible components; - they ensure a prolonged and controlled release of said active substances, for example in the dermis, in the case of cosmetic active compounds.

[0128] The particles according to the invention are therefore particularly suitable for incorporation into compositions requiring the encapsulation of active substances for the reasons detailed in particular in the introduction to the description of the present invention.

[0129] Therefore, the invention also relates to a composition, preferably a composition chosen from pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, agri-food, phytosanitary, paint, varnish, textile dye compositions, which is characterized in that it comprises at least particles according to the invention as described above or obtained according to the manufacturing process as described above.

[0130] The invention and its advantages are illustrated in the examples below.

[0211] The recovered product of invention 7 was purified as follows: it was dissolved in ethanol, filtered, and dried under reduced pressure. It was a 7 ème CD derivative according to the invention.

[0212] Characterization of the synthesized products:

[0213] All synthesized products were characterized by a MALDI-TOF type mass spectrometry method (abbreviated "MS", as it is the English acronym for "mass spectrometry"): - "MALDI" being the English acronym for "Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionisation"; - "TOF" being the English acronym for "Time-Of-Flight".

[0214] This method is generally referred to by the English acronym "MALDI-TOF-MS" and can be translated as "matrix-assisted laser desorption / ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry analysis method." It therefore consists of a mass spectrometer coupling a matrix-assisted laser ionization source and a time-of-flight analyzer.

[0215] We describe below the characterization of comparative product 1. All other synthesized products were characterized in the same way.

[0216] Comparative product 1 was solubilized in THF (10 pg / pL) to obtain a solution of comparative product 1.

[0217] A matrix solution was prepared by solubilizing 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (hereafter abbreviated "DHB") in THF (20 mg / mL).

[0218] For the analysis, a mixture of 0.5 pL of the comparator product 1 solution and 0.5 pL of the matrix solution was deposited on a MALDI plate and dried in cold air to crystallize the product on the sample holder (analysis in vacuum).

[0219] Mass spectra were acquired using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer equipped with a reflectron (i.e., an electrostatic mirror or "ion mirror") that deflected positive ions with an electric field, thus doubling the ion's flight path length and increasing the spectrometer's resolution. The time-of-flight spectra were generated by averaging the signals from 10 repetitions of 10 different points (non-homogeneous deposition and desorption of the material at the location of the previous shot) at a frequency of 1000 shots / second.

[0220] The MALDI-TOF-MS method has the advantage of achieving resolutions of 20,000 and thus being able to visualize molecules of similar masses.

[0221] MALDI / TOF analysis of all synthesized products showed for each of them a set of signals confirming the presence of a statistical mixture of differently acylated CD derivatives.

[0222] Indeed, as explained above, the synthetic products obtained from the preparation process of a CD derivative according to the invention are actually a complex mixture of different CD derivatives because the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of the glucopyranose units not all native CD molecules present in the reaction medium have been substituted to the same degree of molecular substitution.

[0223] The identification of the different CD derivatives was carried out by comparison with the theoretical molecular masses of native β-CD, substituted 1 to 7 times at the hydroxyl groups of the C2 carbons of its glucopyranose units by the aliphatic chains provided by vinyl decanoate and / or vinyl butyrate, taking into account the stoichiometries of these two vinyl esters used in the transesterification reactions of the syntheses of the products according to the invention and the comparative products.
