[0048] Hyperpigmentation is a common skin condition characterized by the darkening of an area of the skin or nails due to an excess of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. When the skin produces more melanin than usual, it can lead to conditions such as freckles, age spots, Melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation. This condition can occur in small patches, cover large areas, or affect the entire body, presenting in various forms and degrees of severity. The causes of hyperpigmentation are varied, with factors including excessive sun exposure, hormonal fluctuations such as those caused by pregnancy or medication, inflammation, skin injuries or trauma, and certain diseases or conditions. Additionally, individuals with darker skin tones are more prone to hyperpigmentation due to higher levels of melanin in their skin.

[0049] Treatment of hyperpigmentation can be complex and often includes the use of topical treatments such as creams, lotions, and serums. These products often contain active ingredients designed to inhibit the production of melanin. One such treatment is hydroquinone, which has been the standard in the treatment of hyperpigmentation for many years. However, the use of hydroquinone has been associated with potential adverse effects. Overuse can lead to skin discoloration, and it has been linked to more severe health issues in some studies. As a result, hydroquinone has been banned or restricted in several countries, including those in the European Union, Japan, and Australia. Other compounds like kojic acid, azelaic acid, and certain retinoids have been used as alternative treatments for hyperpigmentation. While they can be effective, they may also cause skin irritation, sensitivity, and other undesirable side effects. This is particularly true when they are used over a long period or in high concentrations. Therefore, safer and more effective alternatives are needed for the treatment of hyperpigmentation.

[0050] The present disclosure aims to address this gap in the field of dermatology. It pertains to specific compounds or salts thereof, their compositions, and their use as a potential treatment for hyperpigmentation. The disclosed compounds or salts thereof have been found to effectively modulate melanin production and the proliferation rate in melanocytes, making them viable candidates for treating hyperpigmentation. The safety, stability, and efficacy of the disclosed compounds or salts thereof may give them a significant advantage over currently usedP-660558-PC treatments. These characteristics make the composition comprising the compounds or salts thereof promising candidates for the development of topical formulations, including creams, lotions, and serums, for the treatment of hyperpigmentation and other related skin disorders. The present disclosure also encompasses methods of treatment using the composition comprising these compounds or salts thereof. These methods could potentially offer improved results and fewer side effects compared to currently available treatments.

[0051] While preferred embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described herein, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that such embodiments are provided by way of example only. Numerous variations, changes, and substitutions will now occur to those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. It should be understood that various alternatives to the embodiments of the invention described herein may be employed in practicing the invention. It is intended that the following claims define the scope of the invention and that methods and structures within the scope of these claims and their equivalents be covered thereby.DEFINITIONS

[0052] Unless defined otherwise, all terms of art, notations and other technical and scientific terms or terminology used herein are intended to have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed subject matter pertains. In some cases, terms with commonly understood meanings are defined herein for clarity and / or for ready reference, and the inclusion of such definitions herein should not necessarily be construed to represent a substantial difference over what is generally understood in the art.

[0053] Throughout this application, various embodiments may be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the disclosure.Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

[0192] The following examples are included for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.Example 1: Assay for measurement of cellular proliferation in human melanocytes

[0193] The potential of the example compounds or salts thereof, disclosed in the present disclosure (refer to Table 1), to modulate the proliferation speed of regular human epidermal melanocytes (PromoCell) was examined employing a cell viability assay like CellTiter-Glo® (Promega). The cells were cultured in a specially designed media that promotes optimal cell growth, which in this case was PromoCell Melanocyte Growth Medium, supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin. The compound or salt under investigation (Table 1) was introduced to the cultures at eight diverse concentrations, ranging from 30 to 0.2 pg / mL. Following a 24-hour incubation period, luminescent signals were monitored in a microplate reader after an additional 10-minute incubation with the CellTiter-Glo reagent. The relative shift in cell proliferation was calculated using the following formula:(SampleLUM - VehicleLUM) / VehicleLUM x 100P-660558-PC

[0194] Negative scores correspond to a decrease in melanocyte proliferation, while positive scores suggest an increase in melanocyte proliferation. Scores near 0 indicate no change in proliferation. The presented data represents the mean ± standard deviation (s.d.) collected from three experimental replicates. Hydroquinone (HQ), a compound known to reduce the number of viable melanocytes, was included for benchmark comparison. A dose-dependent decrease in normalized viability was observed across the tested compounds as depicted in FIG 1 A-FIG. IF. FIG. 1A-FIG. IF demonstrate that the example compounds can reduce cellular proliferation in melanocytes.TABLE 1. Example CompoundsP-660558-PCExample 2: Assay for measurement of melanin content in a mouse melanoma cell line

[0195] The capability of the example compounds or salts thereof, as described in the present disclosure (refer to Table 1), to modulate melanin production in B16-F10 mouse melanoma cells (sourced from ATCC) was assessed using a luminescent assay developed in-house. In summary, the B16-F10 cells were cultured in DMEM, supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillinstreptomycin, until reaching confluence in multi-well plates. The compound or salt under investigation was then introduced to the cultures at a final concentration of 10 pg / mL, spanning a period of 2 to 4 days. Upon completion of the incubation period, a reagent comprising fixed concentrations of firefly luciferase, luciferin, and ATP was added to provide a constant luminescent signal to all wells before a reading was taken using a microplate reader. Given the ability of melanin to absorb light, the final luminescent signal read by the plate reader is inversely related to the melanin concentration present in the sample. For each experiment, a logscale regression analysis of a melanin standard curve was utilized to convert the luminescence signal in each sample to a melanin concentration. The relative percentage increase in melanin content was calculated with the following equation:(SampleMelanin Cone. - V ehicleMelanin Conc.) / V ehicleMelanin Cone. X 100P-660558-PC

[0196] Negative scores signify a decrease in melanin production, while positive scores indicate an increase. Scores in proximity to 0 suggest no change in the melanin production rate.

[0197] FIG. 2A displays a standard curve of representative luminescence versus melanin concentration (mg / ml), showing the inverse relationship between melanin concentration and luminescence, which underscores melanin's capability to absorb light from the luminescent reagent. The linear portions of the melanin standard curves were employed to convert luminescence into melanin concentration in the experimental samples.

[0198] FIG. 2B demonstrates that the example compounds can reduce melanin content in Bl 6- F10 mouse melanoma cells (sourced from ATCC). A luminescence-based melanin content assay was utilized to evaluate changes in melanin content in the mouse melanoma cells post treatment with the example compounds at a 10 pg / mL concentration. The bar graphs depict the average, and a dose-dependent decrease in normalized viability was observed across the lead molecules. The data represents the mean ± standard deviation (s.d.) gathered from a minimum of three experimental replicates (represented by circles). Data summarized in Table 2 using the following key:Mean: A represents -100 to -70, B represents -70 to -40, and C represents -40 or higher. Standard deviation (std): X represents 0 to 10, Y represents 10 to 20 and Z represents 20 or higher.TABLE 2.

[0199] Assay for measurement of cytotoxicity against various human cell types

[0200] The capacity of the example compounds or salts thereof, as detailed in the present disclosure, to maintain the viability of diverse healthy, non-melanocyte human cell types was evaluated using the aforementioned cell viability assay, specifically, the Promega CellTiter- Glo® Luminescent Cell Viability Assay. The human cell types examined consisted of human epidermal keratinocytes, fibroblasts, follicle dermal papilla cells, and microvascular endothelial cells. The compound or salt under the investigation was administered at eight different concentrations, ranging from 30 to 0.2 pg / mL.

[0201] All cell types were cultured on tissue culture-treated plastic, utilizing their respective optimal growth media (such as fibroblast growth media from Promocell), which was supplemented with 1% Penicillin / Streptomycin. The relative change in cell viability was calculated using the following equation:(SampleLUM - VehicleLUM) / VehicleLUM x 100

[0202] Negative scores are indicative of a decrease in cell viability, while positive scores suggest an increase in cell viability. Scores around 0 denote no significant change in viability. FIG. 3A- FIG. 3D demonstrated that the example compounds are non-toxic to primary skin and non-skin cells.

[0203] Assay for measurement of skin sensitization potential

[0204] The potential of the example compounds or salts thereof, as described in the present disclosure, to stimulate skin sensitization was tested using a HEK-KeratinoSens (BPS Biosciences) cell line.
