Description
Cosmetic composition comprising 1- (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -decan-3-one and Isobutylamido Thiazolyl ResorcinolTechnical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising 1- (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -decan-3-one and Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol.
[0002] Technical background
[0003] A beautiful and attractive appearance is a desire for many people. Therefore, in order to take care on the skin, consumers often prefer to apply cosmetic products containing active ingredients delivering a skin benefit. Various literatures have been disclosed describing cosmetic active ingredients.
[0004] 1- (4-Hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl) -decan-3-one has the following structure:
[0005] The properties of the substance are described on the website https: / / www. chemicalbook. com / ChemicalProductProperty_EN_CB8927406. htm.
[0006] A further well-known cosmetic ingredient in the art is Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol. It is known under the chemical name N- [4- (2, 4-Dihydroxyphenyl) -1, 3-thiazol-2-yl] -2-methylpropanamid.
[0007] WO 2013041526 A1 discloses the use of Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol for the treatment and prophylaxis of unwanted pigmentation of the skin.
[0008] Melanocytes are responsible for the pigmenting of the skin; these are found in the lowest layer of the epidermis, the Stratum basale, alongside the basal cells as pigment-forming cells which, depending on the skin type, occur either individually or in clusters of varying size.
[0009] Melanocytes contain, as characteristic cell organelles, melanosomes, in which the melanin is formed. Inter alia, upon stimulation by UV radiation, melanin is formed to a greater extent. This is transported via the living layers of the epidermis (keratinocytes) ultimately into the horny layer (corneocytes) and brings about a more or less pronounced brownish to brown-black skin color.
[0010] Melanin is formed as the end stage of an oxidative process in which tyrosine is converted, under the co-action of the enzyme tyrosinase, via several intermediates, to the brown to brown-black eumelanins (DHICA and DHI melanin) , or, with the participation of sulfur-containing compounds, to the reddish pheomelanin. DHICA and DHI melanin are formed via the common intermediates dopaquinone and dopachrome. The latter, sometimes with the participation of further enzymes, is converted either to indol-5, 6-quinonecarboxylic acid or into indol-5, 6-quinone, from which the two specified eumelanins are formed.
[0011] The formation of pheomelanin proceeds inter alia via the intermediates dopaquinone and cysteinyldopa. The expression of the melanin-synthesizing enzymes is controlled by a specific transcription factor (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, MITF) . Besides the described enzymatic processes of the melanin synthesis, further proteins are also of importance for the melanogenesis in the melanosomes. An important role here appears to be attributed to the so-called p-protein, although the exact function is still unclear.
[0012] As well as the above-described process of the melanin synthesis in the melanocytes, the transfer of the melanosomes, their stay in the epidermis and also their degradation and the degradation of the melanin are also of decisive importance for the pigmenting of the skin. It was shown that the PAR-2 receptor is important for the transport of the melanosomes from the melanocytes into the keratinocytes (M. Seiberg et al., 2000, J. Cell. Sci., 113: 3093-101) .
[0013] Problems with hyperpigmentation of the skin have a wide variety of causes and / or are accompanied phenomena of many biological processes, e.g. UV radiation (e.g. freckles, Ephelides) , genetic disposition, incorrect pigmentation of the skin during wound healing or scarring (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) or skin aging (e.g. Lentigines seniles) .
[0014] After inflammatory reactions, the pigmentation system of the skin reacts with sometimes opposite reactions. This can lead either to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations or hypopigmentations. Post-inflammatory hypomelanoses often arise inter alia in conjunction with atopy, Lupus erythematosus and psoriasis. The different reaction forms of the pigmentation system of the human skin as a result of inflammatory phenomena are understood only very incompletely.
[0015] Problems with post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation often occur in darker skin types. Particularly in colored males, the problem of Pseudofollikulitis barbae is known, which is associated with cosmetically undesired incorrect pigmentation and / or leads to this. Forms of melasma, which occur in particular in women of Asiatic origin on the face and on the décolletage area, and also various forms of irregular pigmentation of the skin are also types of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations. In addition, dark circles around the eyes are also considered to be a form of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations, the underlying inflammation in most cases proceeding without clinical manifestations.
[0016] Hyperpigmentation (melasma) , i.e. the excessive presence of melanin in the skin, is caused by an increased production of melanin in the melanocytes. In many cases, post-inflammatory incorrect pigmentation of this type is increased further by the action of sunlight (UV light) without resulting in a UV-induced inflammation (sunburn) .
[0017] It was found that in melanocyte cultures, Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol strongly but reversibly inhibited melanin production, whereas hydroquinone, which also caused skin lightening, irreversibly inhibited melanogenesis.
[0018] However, the pure fact that Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol allows for an inhibition of the melanin production should not obscure that it is still desirable to further increase the inhibition efficiency.Summary of invention
[0019] It was now surprisingly found by the applicant that the present invention leads to an improved melanin production inhibition.
[0020] The present invention is a combination of
[0021] a) N- [4- (2, 4-Dihydroxyphenyl) -1, 3-thiazol-2-yl] -2-methylpropanamid, and

[0029] Unless otherwise stated, all tests and measurements were performed under “normal conditions” . The term "normal conditions" refers to 20℃, 1013 hPa and a relative humidity of 50%.
[0030] In the following description the terms “according to the invention” , “preferred according to the invention” and so on are always directed to the use according to the invention, to the composition and to the method according to the invention.
[0031] For the purposes of the present disclosure, the term "free from" means that the proportion of the respective substance is less than 0.05%by weight. This ensures that entrainments or impurities with these substances are not included as "free from" according to the invention.
[0032] The term “skin” refers solely to the human skin. The term “hair” refers solely to the human head hair.
[0033] If viscosity values are given in this disclosure, then all values relate to a measurement at 25℃. in a 150 ml wide-mouth bottle (VWR No.: 807-001) using Rheomat R 123 from the company proRheo. The Rheomat R 123 from proRheo GmbH is a rotational viscometer, i.e. a measuring body rotates in the substance to be measured. The force required to rotate the measuring body in the sample at a specified speed is measured. The viscosity is calculated from this torque, the speed of the measuring body and the geometric dimensions of the measuring system used. Measuring body No. 1 (Article No. 200 0191) , suitable for a viscosity range of up to 10,000 [mPa s] , speed range 62.5 min-1, is used as the measuring body.

[0083] 5. Administration: According to the test groups, when the plating rate in the 6-well plate reaches 50%to 60%, administer the samples in groups, with 3 replicate wells for each group. For the blank control group, add 2mL of culture medium to each well, and for the sample group, add 2mL of culture medium containing the test sample at the corresponding concentration to each well. After administration, place the 6-well plate in a CO2 incubator (37℃, 5%CO2) and culture for 72 hours, then discard the liquid and wash with PBS.
