D E S C R I Z I ON E DESCRIPTION

Annessa a domanda di brevetto d’INVENZIONE INDUSTRIALE avente per titolo: Attached to an INDUSTRIAL INVENTION patent application entitled:

DEPIGMENTANTI CUTANEI SKIN DEPIGMENTANTS

La presente invenzione si riferisce a composizioni cosmetiche contenenti sostanze a struttura idrossistilbenica e pir(id)onica. The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions containing substances with hydroxystylbene and pyr (id) onic structure.

In particolare, a presente invenzione si riferisce a composizioni cosmetiche utili nel trattamento di depigmentazione di ipercromie cutanee di natura melanica o emosiderinica. In particular, the present invention relates to cosmetic compositions useful in the depigmentation treatment of skin hyperchromias of a melanic or hemosiderin nature.

Talune tra le sostanze a struttura idrossistilbenica o pir(id)onica sono state sintetizzate per la prima volta e costituiscono quindi un ulteriore oggetto inventivo. Some of the substances with a hydroxystylbene or pyr (id) onic structure have been synthesized for the first time and therefore constitute a further inventive object.

L’eziologia iperpigmentante si ricollega ad eventi eterogenei, che comprendono l’iperpigmentazione locale da farmaci (esempio da Ca-antagonisti), il melasma cianico, il chiasma gravidico, il melasma senile, la sovra-risposta melanica eterologa conseguente a sclerodermia, la risposta post-infìammatoria o traumatica, oppure risponde all’esigenza di ridurre la colorazione etnica di individui di ceppo afro o asiatico. The hyperpigmentative etiology is linked to heterogeneous events, which include local drug hyperpigmentation (for example by Ca-antagonists), cyanic melasma, gravidaric chiasm, senile melasma, heterologous melanic over-response following scleroderma, response post-inflammatory or traumatic, or responds to the need to reduce the ethnic coloration of individuals of Afro or Asian stock.

La prima crema depigmentante apparve in Corea 50 anni fa, e corrispondeva al bisogno estetico delle donne orientali di esibire una complessione pallida. Conteneva un composto mercuriale, la cui azione. era basata sulla sostituzione del rame, oligoelemento essenziale quale co-fattore della tirosinasi. Il composto mercuriale é attualmente bandito per gli effetti nefrotossici. The first depigmenting cream appeared in Korea 50 years ago, and corresponded to the aesthetic need of oriental women to exhibit a pale complexion. It contained a mercurial compound, the action of which. it was based on the substitution of copper, an essential trace element as a co-factor of tyrosinase. The mercurial compound is currently banned for its nephrotoxic effects.

Vari composti naturali sono in grado di svolgere una parziale azione inibente della sintesi o dell’attività tirosinasica, ad esempio glucosammine, galattosammine, mannosammine, ed alcuni estratti vegetali, la cui attività è presumibilmente legata al blocco dei radicali liberi stimolatori della melanogenesi. Various natural compounds are able to perform a partial inhibiting action of the synthesis or tyrosinase activity, for example glucosamines, galactosamines, mannosamines, and some plant extracts, whose activity is presumably linked to the blocking of free radicals that stimulate melanogenesis.

Anche antiossidanti come le vitamina C ed E ed i loro esteri hanno blande capacità depigmentanti, per parziale inibizione della melanogenesi, tuttavia con effetti insufficienti agli scopi estetici richiesti. Even antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and their esters have mild depigmenting abilities, due to partial inhibition of melanogenesis, however with insufficient effects for the required aesthetic purposes.

L’acido azelaico, introdotto come trattamento anti-acne come Azelex<® >(Allergan, Irvine, USA), trova uso estemporaneo quale depigmentante avendo dimostrato linibizione competitiva della tirosinasi e della sintesi del DNA nel sito melanosomico. Azelaic acid, introduced as an anti-acne treatment such as Azelex <®> (Allergan, Irvine, USA), finds extemporaneous use as a depigmentant having demonstrated the competitive inhibition of tyrosinase and DNA synthesis at the melanosomal site.

Attualmente il prodotto maggiormente utilizzato sono composizioni con il 2% di idrochinone, substrato ad azione antagonista e competitiva della tirosina nei confronti dell’enzima tirosinasi, frequentemente associata agli alfa idrossiacidi. Currently the most used product are compositions with 2% hydroquinone, a substrate with an antagonistic and competitive action of tyrosine against the enzyme tyrosinase, frequently associated with alpha hydroxy acids.

In particolare l’acido glicolico è stato utilizzato con successo in combinazione con l’idrochinone (Lim JT, Tham SN Dermatol Surg, 23 (3): 177-179, 1997), con la tretinoina (Lawrence N, Cox SE, Brody HJ, J. Am. Acad. Dermatol., 36 (4). 589-93, 1997) e con l’acido cogico (Garcia A, Fulton JE, Dermatol Surg, 22(5): 443-7, 1996). In particular, glycolic acid has been used successfully in combination with hydroquinone (Lim JT, Tham SN Dermatol Surg, 23 (3): 177-179, 1997), with tretinoin (Lawrence N, Cox SE, Brody HJ , J. Am. Acad. Dermatol., 36 (4). 589-93, 1997) and with kojic acid (Garcia A, Fulton JE, Dermatol Surg, 22 (5): 443-7, 1996).

Tuttavia, l’acido cogico risulta essere irritante e possibile fonte di ipocromie croniche (Iurassich S, Santoro M, Rossi E, G. Ital. Venereol., 132:443-4, 1997), cosi come l’uso prolungato di creme all’idrochinone 2 % coincide con un’elevata frequenza di iperpigmentazione granuloso-localizzata e formazione di fibre elastotiche (Sylla R et al, Dakar Med., 3, 223-6, 1994), con casi di ipopigmentazione e vitiligine da uso prolungato. However, kojic acid appears to be an irritant and a possible source of chronic hypochromias (Iurassich S, Santoro M, Rossi E, G. Ital. Venereol., 132: 443-4, 1997), as well as the prolonged use of 2% hydroquinone coincides with a high frequency of granular-localized hyperpigmentation and formation of elastotic fibers (Sylla R et al, Dakar Med., 3, 223-6, 1994), with cases of hypopigmentation and vitiligo from prolonged use.

Le sostanze depigmentanti risultano, pertanto, o parzialmente efficaci oppure possiedono controindicazioni nell’applicazione topica. Depigmenting substances are therefore either partially effective or have contraindications in topical application.

La richiedente ha trovato che sostanze di struttura (poliidrossi)stilbenica sono efficaci nel trattamento delle forme iperpigmentative, in particolare di origine melanica. The Applicant has found that substances with a stilbenic (polyhydroxy) structure are effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentative forms, in particular of melanic origin.

Un oggetto della presente invenzione riguarda una composizione cosmetica contenenti sostanze di formula generale: An object of the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing substances of general formula:

dove R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, R<4>, ciascuno indipendentemente, è uguale a H o OH, e con un numero di R=OH compreso tra 2 e 3 ; where R <1>, R <2>, R <3>, R <4>, each independently, is equal to H or OH, and with a number of R = OH between 2 and 3;

dette sostanze utili per la preparazione di composizioni cosmetiche ad azione depigmentante. said substances useful for the preparation of cosmetic compositions with depigmenting action.

Una tipologia iperpigmentativa particolare riguarda i depositi emosiderinici da traumi, ematomi, o da postumi dell’operazione di sclerodermia. Nel trattamento estetico di sclerotizzazione venoso-varicosa e capillare l’incidenza di eventi locali iperpegmentativi irrisolti è intorno al 20 % delle pazienti trattate. A particular type of hyperpigmentation concerns the hemosiderin deposits from trauma, hematomas, or the after-effects of the scleroderma operation. In the aesthetic treatment of venous-varicose and capillary sclerosis, the incidence of unresolved local hyperpegmentative events is around 20% of the patients treated.

In questo ambito, la formazione di macchie pigmentate pare essere il risultato dalla combinazione tra l’extravasamento emoglobinico, con formazione di deposito emosiderinico, e liperattività melanica mediata dal processo infiammatorio conseguente all’extravasamento stesso. Si é osservato un’aumento dell’incidenza pigmentativa per trattamento di venulectasi blu, al contrario del trattamento di telengiectasie rosse, con indicazioni riguardo la fragilità capillare quale causa predisponente. In this context, the formation of pigmented spots appears to be the result of the combination of hemoglobin extravasation, with the formation of hemosiderin deposit, and melanic hyperactivity mediated by the inflammatory process resulting from the extravasation itself. An increase in the incidence of pigmentation was observed for the treatment of blue venulectasis, as opposed to the treatment of red telengiectasis, with indications regarding capillary fragility as a predisposing cause.

Tale condizione può verificarsi in altre condizioni traumatiche, ad esempio a seguito di ematomi, al trattamento di follicolosi, all’incisione di tatuaggi, ecc. This condition can occur in other traumatic conditions, for example as a result of hematomas, the treatment of folliculosis, the incision of tattoos, etc.

Il trattamento di depositi emosiderinici ha coinvolto l’uso dell’esfoliazione (ad esempio con acido tricloroacetico), della crioterapia, dell’acido retinoico, mentre i trattamenti specifici miratri alla chelazione del ferro emosiderinico si sono rivolti all’applicazione di creme contenenti EDTA, oppure l’iniezione intradermica di un chetante specifico del ferro, la desferoxamina. Nessuno di questi ha dato risultati definitivi sull’inestetismo iperpigmentativo. The treatment of hemosiderin deposits involved the use of exfoliation (for example with trichloroacetic acid), cryotherapy, retinoic acid, while specific treatments aimed at the chelation of hemosiderin iron have turned to the application of creams containing EDTA, or the intradermal injection of a specific iron ketant, desferoxamine. None of these gave definitive results on hyperpigmentative imperfections.

La richiedente ha ora inoltre trovato che alcune sostanze tipo 4-idrossi-3 -pironi, -piridoni, definibili congiuntamente come 4-idrossi-3-pir(id)oni, che si dimostrano efficaci nel trattamento delle forme iperpigmentative, in particolare di origine emosiderinica. The Applicant has now also found that some substances such as 4-hydroxy-3-pyrones, -pyridones, jointly defined as 4-hydroxy-3-pir (id) oni, which prove effective in the treatment of hyperpigmentative forms, in particular of hemosiderin.

Un oggetto della presente invenzione riguarda una composizione cosmetica contenenti sostanze di formula generale: An object of the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition containing substances of general formula:

dove: X è O o N — Y, where: X is O or N - Y,

R<5 >è H, metile o etile; R <5> is H, methyl or ethyl;

Y è un aminoacido o R<6>; Y is an amino acid or R <6>;

R<6 >è un alchile lineare o ramificato o ciclico, saturo o insaturo od ossidrilato; dette sostanze utili per la preparazione di composizioni cosmetiche ad azione depigmentante. R <6> is a linear or branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated or hydroxylated alkyl; said substances useful for the preparation of cosmetic compositions with depigmenting action.

Talune delle sostanze ad azione depigmentante oggetto della presente invenzione sono note, altre sono state sintetizzate per la prima volta in questo ambito, pertanto costituiscono ulteriore oggetto inventivo. Some of the substances with depigmenting action of the present invention are known, others have been synthesized for the first time in this context, therefore they constitute a further inventive object.

Tra i (poliidrossi)stilbeni è noto lossiresveratrolo (2,3’,4,5’-tetraidrossistilbene, Among the (polyhydroxy) stilbenes, lossiresveratrol (2.3 ', 4.5'-tetrahydroxystilbene,

che è stato estratto e caratterizzato nel gelso (Morus alba). which has been extracted and characterized in the mulberry tree (Morus alba).

Nuovi analoghi strutturali a struttura (poliidrossi)stilbenica oggetto della presente invenzione comprendono, tra gli altri, il 2,2’,4,4’-tetraidrossistilbene, il 2, 3’, 4, 4’-tetraidrossistilbene ed il 2,3’,4,5’,6’-pentaidrossistilbene. New structural analogs with a (polyhydroxy) stilbenic structure object of the present invention include, among others, 2,2 ', 4,4'-tetrahydroxystilbene, 2, 3', 4, 4'-tetrahydroxystilbene and 2,3 ' , 4,5 ', 6'-pentahydroxystylbene.

I (poliidrossi)stilbeni si ottengono mediante reazione di Wittig tra i derivati O-protetti (come dimetil-terbutil-silano) dell’ilide del fosforo del 2,4-diidrossibenzil cloruro e l’aldeide 3,5- 2,4- o 3,4-diidrosibenzoica o l’aldeide gallica, con sblocco successivo delle protezioni mediante idrogenazione a 5 atm su Pd/C in metanolo. The (polyhydroxy) stilbenes are obtained by the Wittig reaction between the O-protected derivatives (such as dimethyl-terbutyl-silane) of the phosphorus ilide of 2,4-dihydroxybenzyl chloride and the aldehyde 3,5- 2,4- or 3,4-dihydrosibenzoic or gallic aldehyde, with subsequent release of the protections by hydrogenation at 5 atm on Pd / C in methanol.

Della serie dei 4-idrossi-3 -pironi sono noti l’acido piromeconico ottenuto per riscaldamento dell’acido comenico di origine fermentativa, il maltolo From the 4-hydroxy-3-pyrones series, pyromeconic acid is known, obtained by heating the comenic acid of fermentative origin, maltol

contenuto nella cicoria, negli aghi di pino e nella corteccia del larice; l’etilmaltolo contained in chicory, pine needles and larch bark; ethylmaltol

nota fragranza alimentare. known food fragrance.

Data la non disponibilità commerciale dell’acido comenico, abbiamo sviluppato un procedimento di sintesi dell’acido piromeconico a partire dall’alcol furfurilico per trattamento con cloro in soluzione idrometanolica. Given the commercial unavailability of comenic acid, we have developed a process for the synthesis of pyromeconic acid starting from furfuryl alcohol by treatment with chlorine in a hydromethanolic solution.

Detto procedimento non era noto, e costituisce pertanto un ulteriore oggetto inventivo. Said process was not known, and therefore constitutes a further inventive object.

Della serie dei l,2-dialchil-4-idrossi-3-piridoni sono noti il deferiprone Deferiprone is known from the 1,2-dialkyl-4-hydroxy-3-pyridones series.

ed una serie di omologhi alchilici lineari sperimentati nella terapia and a series of linear alkyl homologs tested in therapy

chetante di rimozione delle sideremie da politransfusione, talora formati spontaneamente dai 4-idrossi-3 -pironi per reazione di Mannich, ad esempio del maltolo con animine primarie o glieina, all’atto della cottura dei cibi. ketant for removing sideremias from polytransfusion, sometimes spontaneously formed by 4-hydroxy-3-pyrons by Mannich reaction, for example of maltol with primary animins or glyein, when cooking food.

A partire dall’acido pirocomenico per reazione con ammine primarie e amminoacidi in soluzione acquosa o idroalcolica abbiamo sviluppato la serie dei 4-idrossi-3-piridoni N-sostituiti con gruppo alchilico o amminoacìdico, non noti fino ad ora, che costituiscono pertanto un ulteriore oggetto inventivo. Starting from pyrochomenic acid by reaction with primary amines and amino acids in aqueous or hydroalcoholic solution we have developed the series of N-substituted 4-hydroxy-3-pyridones with alkyl or amino acid group, not known until now, which therefore constitute a further inventive object.

Le nuove sostanze comprendono, tuttavia in modo non esclusivo, i 4-idrossi-3-piridoni sostituiti come 1-metil, 1-etil, 1-isopropil, 1-N-valina, 1-N-leucina, 1-N-isoleucina. The new substances include, however not exclusively, the substituted 4-hydroxy-3-pyridones such as 1-methyl, 1-ethyl, 1-isopropyl, 1-N-valine, 1-N-leucine, 1-N-isoleucine .

La composizione secondo l'invenzione possono comprendere anche un veicolo cosmeticamente accettabile che agisca come dilutante, disperdente o veicolo delle sostanze di interesse nella composizione cosmetica. The composition according to the invention may also comprise a cosmetically acceptable carrier which acts as a dilutant, dispersant or carrier of the substances of interest in the cosmetic composition.

La quantità del veicolo può variare da 50% a 99,9%, preferibilmente da 95% a 99% in peso della composizione totale. Veicoli diversi dall’acqua possono includere degli emollienti liquidi o solidi, i siliconi ed i solventi. The amount of the carrier can vary from 50% to 99.9%, preferably from 95% to 99% by weight of the total composition. Vehicles other than water may include liquid or solid emollients, silicones and solvents.

I depigmentanti della presente invenzione possono essere applicati sulla cute in soluzione di solventi quali il DMSO, oppure possono beneficiare della presenza di ingredienti cosmetici in grado di migliorarne Γ applicabilità, facilitarne la penetrazione e/o incrementare l’efficacia del trattamento depigmentante. The depigmenting agents of the present invention can be applied to the skin in a solution of solvents such as DMSO, or they can benefit from the presence of cosmetic ingredients capable of improving their applicability, facilitating their penetration and / or increasing the effectiveness of the depigmenting treatment.

Oli e lipidi possono essere combinati all’acqua mediante emulsionanti (“tensioattivi”), a dare emulsioni o/a o a/o in fimzione dell'equilibrio idrofilico-lipofilico medio (HLB) del sistema emulsionante. I tensioattivi può essere incorporati in quantità compresa tra 0,5% a 30%, preferibilmente da 1% a 15% in peso. Oils and lipids can be combined with water by means of emulsifiers ("surfactants"), to give emulsions either / to or to / or in function of the average hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of the emulsifying system.

The mixture is refluxed for 7 hours, then it is cooled and activated carbon is added, and it is left to stand for 30 minutes. The solution, with the appearance of a dark brown solution, is filtered and then evaporated under vacuum by heating, to give a dark brown solid, which is recrystallized 3 times by water, to give 0.42 g of white acicular product, yield 38%.

Il prodotto essicato in stufa e macinato è 1-metil-3-idrossi-4-piridone, M = 111. Esempio Preparativo VI - Sintesi di 3-idrossi-4-piridone. 1-N-amminoacidi The oven dried and ground product is 1-methyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridone, M = 111. Preparative Example VI - Synthesis of 3-hydroxy-4-pyridone. 1-N-amino acids

Si segue la procedura dell’Esempio Preparativo ΙI ma sostituendo la metialmmina con 3 g di glieina, a dare l-carbossimetil-3-idrossi-4-piridone con rese del 23%. The procedure of Preparative Example ΙI is followed but replacing the methylamine with 3 g of gliein, to give 1-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridone with yields of 23%.

Esempio I - Inibizione della tirosinasi in vitro Example I - Inhibition of tyrosinase in vitro

In 120 ul di tampone fosfato 67 mM (pH 6,8) sciolgono 0,197 mg di L-dopa (1 umole), alla quale si aggiungono 40 ul della soluzione dei campioni a varie concentrazioni nella soluzione del tampone. Sono immessi in piastre, alle quali si aggiungono 40 ul di tirosinasi da fungo (Sigma- Aldrich, USA) a 125 U/ml, si mescola e si lascia in incubazione a 37° C per 20 minuti. In 120 ul of 67 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.8) dissolve 0.197 mg of L-dopa (1 umole), to which 40 ul of the sample solution at various concentrations in the buffer solution are added. They are placed in plates, to which 40 ul of mushroom tyrosinase (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) are added at 125 U / ml, mixed and left to incubate at 37 ° C for 20 minutes.

Viene quindi misurata la densità ottica in microcuvette a 492 nm, calcolando la percentuale di inibizione rispetto al valore fornito da ima soluzione di 120 ul di tampone fosfato e 40 ul di tirosinasi su 1 umole di L-dopa. Per confronto si utilizza l’acido cogico, di cui si conoscono le proprietà depigmentanti. The optical density is then measured in microcuvettes at 492 nm, calculating the percentage of inhibition with respect to the value provided by a solution of 120 ul of phosphate buffer and 40 ul of tyrosinase on 1 umole of L-DOPA. For comparison, kojic acid is used, whose depigmenting properties are known.

Il valore di IC50 è ottenuto mediante il programma MacALLFIT. I risultati sono illustrati nella Tabella I. The value of IC50 is obtained through the MacALLFIT program. The results are shown in Table I.

TABELLA I TABLE I

Dalla tabella si osserva che i (poliidrossi)stilbeni ed i 3 -idrossi-4-pir(id)oni privi di sostituente in posizione 2 posseggono una attività di inibizione della tirosinasi da 2 a 30 volte maggiore dell’acido cogico. From the table it is observed that the (polyhydroxy) stilbenes and the 3-hydroxy-4-pir (id) oni without substituent in position 2 possess a tyrosinase inhibition activity from 2 to 30 times greater than kojic acid.

Si evidenzia l’inattività dei 2-alchil-3 -idrossi-4-piridonì, che risulteranno invece essere dei potenziali candidati per la rimozione di macchie emosideriniche. The inactivity of 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridonium is highlighted, which will turn out to be potential candidates for the removal of hemosiderin stains.

Esempio I - Depigmentazione melanica con forme a rilascio controllato Example I - Melanic depigmentation with controlled release forms

il film adesivo viene quindi spalmato su un film base ed una pellicola di copertura, ottenendosi cerotti in grado di cedere le sostanze depigmentanti nel corso di 24 ore, assicurandone la somministrazione continuativa. the adhesive film is then spread on a base film and a covering film, obtaining patches capable of releasing the depigmenting substances in the course of 24 hours, ensuring their continuous administration.

2 soggetti volontari di ceppo afro (provenienza Senegal) vengono fomiti di cerotti della superfice di 12 cm di composizione da A a D, delimitando le 4 aree di applicazione sulla zona ventrale, con l’istruzione di rinnovare l’applicazione del cerotto ogni 48 ore, Dopo 40 giorni di trattamento, i soggetti vengono esaminati, confrontando le 4 aree di applicazione con la colorazione della pelle circostante, non trattata. I risultati sono illustrati nella Tabella I. 2 volunteers of Afro stock (from Senegal) are supplied with patches with a surface of 12 cm of composition from A to D, delimiting the 4 areas of application on the ventral area, with the instruction to renew the application of the patch every 48 hours After 40 days of treatment, the subjects are examined, comparing the 4 application areas with the color of the surrounding, untreated skin. The results are shown in Table I.

TABELLA Π TABLE Π

Si osserva pertanto un’elevata attività depigmentante metanica dei (poliidrossi)stilbenici e del deferiprone, in parziale accordo con i risultati del test di inibizione della tirosinasi. Therefore, a high methane depigmenting activity of (polyhydroxy) stilbenes and deferiprone is observed, in partial agreement with the results of the tyrosinase inhibition test.
