Description

Cosmetic or dermatological composition comprising a water-soluble organic UV-screening agent and a thiopyridinone compound

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, in particular a cosmetic or dermatological composition, comprising at least one aqueous phase, at least one water-soluble organic UV-screening agent and at least one compound of formula (I) or (I’), as described below, and / or the optical isomers or geometric isomers thereof and also the organic or mineral acid or base salts thereof, and / or solvates thereof, such as hydrates.

[0002] A depigmenting or bleaching agent which is a thiopyridinone compound is known from patent applications WO2012 / 080075 and WO2017 / 102349. The thiopyridinone compound has depigmenting or bleaching properties which are particularly effective in reducing melanin production.

[0003] However, the stability of this compound, and in particular its stability when it is exposed to light, in particular to UV radiation, is not optimal. Thus, there remains a need to improve the photostability of this compound, notably when it is present in a composition comprising at least one aqueous phase.

[0004] The applicant has discovered, surprisingly, that by using at least one water-soluble organic UV-screening agent, it was possible to substantially improve the photostability of such a thiopyridinone compound. This discovery forms the basis of the present invention.

[0005] Thus, in accordance with one of the subjects of the present invention, a composition, and in particular a cosmetic or dermatological composition, is now proposed comprising at least one water-soluble organic UV-screening agent and at least one compound of formula (I) or (I’), as described below, and / or the optical isomers or geometric isomers thereof and also the organic or mineral acid or base salts thereof, and / or solvates thereof, such as hydrates.

[0006] The photostability of the thiopyridinone compound is improved, even in the presence of additional UV-screening agents other than the water-soluble UV-screening agent(s).

[0007] Specifically, it may be particularly advantageous to insert UV-screening agents into a cosmetic composition comprising a thiopyridinone compound in order to obtain compositions having good activity on pigmentation induced by UV and visible radiation, a high level of sun protection, and also a good physicochemical stability, and good cosmetic quality, in particular they are non-greasy and non-tacky.

[0008] Thus, in accordance with another subject of the present invention, a composition, and in particular a cosmetic or dermatological composition, is proposed comprising at least one water-soluble organic UV-screening agent, at least one additional UV-screening agent and at least one compound of formula (I) or (I’), as described below, and / or the optical isomers or geometric isomers thereof and also the organic or mineral acid or base salts thereof, and / or solvates thereof, such as hydrates.

[0009] The applicant has discovered that the use of at least one water-soluble organic UV-screening agent makes it possible to increase the photostability of a thiopyridinone compound, and / or an optical isomer, geometric isomer, and also an organic or mineral acid or base salt, and / or a solvate such as a hydrate, in particular when it is dissolved in a composition comprising at least one aqueous phase, even in the presence of additional UV-screening agents.Disclosure of the invention

[0232] After returning to ambient temperature, ethyl glycinate hydrochloride is added and then the resulting mixture is heated again to a temperature of 60°C for 3 hours. The mixture is then left at ambient temperature overnight.

[0233] After the overnight period, the reaction medium is evaporated. The residue is taken up in dichloromethane and washed twice with 2N HCl.

[0234] The organic phase is dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and then evaporated and purified over silica, dichloromethane 97 / methanol 3.

[0235] The fractions are evaporated.

[0236] A light yellow powder is obtained.

[0238] In a three-necked flask, 2-chloronicotinic acid (250.0 g, 1.587 mol) is introduced into ethyl acetate (500 ml) and then SOCl2(210.0 g, 1.761 mol) is added dropwise to the mixture.

[0239] The combined mixture is refluxed until complete conversion. Once the reaction is complete, the mixture is cooled to ambient temperature and diluted with ethyl acetate (375 ml).

[0243] Sodium thiosulfate (1379 g, 5.555 mol) is then added and the combined mixture is then refluxed for 6 hours. After cooling to 10°C, the yellow solid is filtered off and washed with water (3 × 750 ml).

[0244] The crude product is then treated with carbon black in a 75 / 25 ethanol / water mixture.

[0245] The carbon black is then filtered off hot and the ethanol is evaporated off. The combined mixture is cooled to ambient temperature, then the product is filtered off and dried under vacuum.

[0246] A light yellow powder is thus obtained.

[0247] The 1H NMR and mass spectra are in accordance with the structure.

[0251] The resulting mixture is cooled to 10°C.

[0252] A solution of NaOH (16 g) in 144 ml of water is added dropwise to the mixture.

[0253] The organic solvent is evaporated off and the pH of the mixture is then adjusted to a value of 3-4. The mixture is then cooled to a temperature of between 0 and 10°C and is then filtered.

[0254] The product thus obtained is washed with water and dried under vacuum.

[0255] A light yellow powder is obtained.

[0256] The 1H NMR and mass spectra are in accordance with the structure.

[0261] The combined mixture is stirred until a clear solution is obtained and carbonyldiimidazole (16.809 g, 1.1 eq, 103.67 mmol) is then added in portions.

[0262] The resulting suspension is stirred at a temperature of 20°C until there is no bubbling (typically for one hour).

[0263] Ethyl glycinate hydrochloride (14.470 g, 1.1 eq, 103.67 mmol) is then added and the combined mixture is then stirred for one hour at a temperature of 20°C.

[0264] The reaction medium is then added slowly to a 10% aqueous NaHCO3solution with stirring.
