Description

本発明は、エストロゲン様作用剤およびそれを含有する皮膚外用剤に関する。本発明の皮膚外用剤は、肌荒れ改善効果、シワ防止・改善効果、美肌効果に優れ、かつ肌へのなじみが良く、使用後のべたつきが無い等の使用感にも優れるとともに経時安定性にも優れている。   The present invention relates to an estrogenic agent and an external preparation for skin containing the same. The skin external preparation of the present invention is excellent in rough skin improvement effect, wrinkle prevention / improvement effect, beautifying skin effect, is well-familiar to the skin, has excellent feeling of use such as no stickiness after use, and is stable over time Are better.

エストロゲンは、卵胞ホルモンまたは女性ホルモンとも呼ばれ、発情ホルモンに特有な生物学的作用をもつ天然物質あるいは合成物質の総称を表わす用語として用いられている。一般には、エストロン、エストラジオール、エストリオールが知られており、特にエストラジオールは哺乳類に普通にみられる卵胞ホルモンのうち最も有効なものであり、卵巣、胎盤、睾丸、副腎皮質などで生成される。   Estrogens are also called follicular hormones or female hormones, and are used as a general term for natural substances or synthetic substances having a biological action peculiar to estrus hormones. In general, estrone, estradiol, and estriol are known. In particular, estradiol is the most effective follicular hormone commonly found in mammals and is produced in the ovary, placenta, testis, adrenal cortex, and the like.

エストロゲンは、ステロイドホルモンの一種であり、その受容体を介して生理作用を示し、その受容体は生殖器や乳腺のみならず全身の細胞に存在し、その働きは多岐に渡っている。エストロゲンの作用については、一般的には、乳腺細胞の増殖促進、卵巣***制御、脂質代謝制御、インスリン作用、血液凝固作用、中枢神経(意識)女性化、LDL(low density lipoprotein)の減少とVLDL(very low density lipoprotein)・HDL(high density lipoprotein)の増加による動脈硬化抑制などが知られている。   Estrogen is a kind of steroid hormone and exhibits physiological action through its receptor. The receptor is present not only in genital organs and mammary glands but also in cells of the whole body, and its functions are diverse. Regarding the action of estrogen, in general, promotion of breast cell proliferation, ovarian ovulation control, lipid metabolism control, insulin action, blood coagulation action, central nervous (conscious) feminization, LDL (low density lipoprotein) decrease and VLDL Arteriosclerosis suppression by an increase in (very low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein) is known.

皮膚においては、エストラジオールの投与によって皮膚中のヒアルロン酸含量が増加するにつれて皮膚水分量も増加するという報告(非特許文献1)、エストラジオールの欠乏により真皮中のゼラチナーゼが増加し皮膚の弾力性が低下するという報告(非特許文献2)、エストラジオール軟膏の大規模臨床試験から閉経後の女性の紫外線老化皮膚に対してエストラジオールが有効であったという報告(非特許文献3)がなされている。   In the skin, reports that estradiol administration increases the moisture content of the skin as the hyaluronic acid content in the skin increases (Non-patent Document 1). Due to the lack of estradiol, gelatinase in the dermis increases and skin elasticity decreases. According to a large-scale clinical trial of estradiol ointment, non-patent document 3 reports that estradiol was effective against postmenopausal women's UV-aged skin (non-patent document 3).

しかしながら、エストロゲン投与によるホルモン療法には、副作用があることからその投与の調整が非常に難しいという問題、また医師の管理化で行わなければならないという問題があった。   However, hormonal therapy by estrogen administration has problems that it is very difficult to adjust the administration due to side effects, and that it must be performed under the control of a doctor.

そこで近年、特許文献1,2に開示されているように、エストロゲン様作用を有する植物の抽出物を用いて女性ホルモンバランスを調整することにより、皮膚などの老化防止を試みる提案がなされている。しかしながら、これら特許文献に記載の抽出物においても安定して十分な効果を得られるものが無いのが現状であり、また、老化防止と肌質改善を実感するのは困難であった。   Therefore, in recent years, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, proposals have been made to try to prevent the aging of skin and the like by adjusting the female hormone balance using a plant extract having an estrogen-like action. However, in the present situation, none of the extracts described in these patent documents can stably obtain a sufficient effect, and it has been difficult to realize aging prevention and skin quality improvement.

また、エストロゲン様作用を有する植物の抽出物を含有する皮膚外用剤には、肌へのなじみが悪かったり、使用後にべたつきがあるなど、使用感に劣るものがあり、また経時安定性に劣るものもあった。   In addition, some external preparations containing an extract of a plant having an estrogen-like action have poor usability, such as poor skin fit and stickiness after use, and poor stability over time. There was also.

本発明の目的は、従来のものに比べ高活性なエストロゲン様作用剤を提供すること、また、肌荒れ改善効果、シワ防止・改善効果、美肌効果に優れ、かつ肌へのなじみが良く、使用後のべたつきが無い等の使用感にも優れるとともに、経時安定性にも優れている皮膚外用剤を提供することである。   The purpose of the present invention is to provide a highly active estrogen-like agent compared to the conventional ones, and also has an effect of improving rough skin, an effect of preventing and improving wrinkles, an effect of beautifying skin, and is well-familiar to the skin. It is to provide an external preparation for skin which is excellent in feeling of use such as no stickiness and has excellent temporal stability.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決するために、様々な植物抽出物についてエストロゲン様作用を調べた結果、ユーカリ葉抽出物がエストロゲン様作用を有すること、さらに、ユーカリ葉抽出物にウコン根茎抽出物を組み合わせることで、ユーカリ葉抽出物単独に比べてエストロゲン様作用が飛躍的に増大することを見出した。また、ユーカリ葉抽出物を含有する皮膚外用剤、あるいは、ユーカリ葉抽出物とウコン根茎抽出物を含有させた皮膚外用剤は、肌荒れ改善効果、シワ防止・改善効果、美肌効果に優れ、かつ肌へのなじみが良く、使用後のべたつきが無い等の使用感にも優れるとともに、経時安定性にも優れていることを見出し、本発明を完成させるに至った。   In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have examined estrogen-like action for various plant extracts. As a result, the eucalyptus leaf extract has an estrogen-like action. It was found that the estrogen-like effect was dramatically increased by combining the eucalyptus leaves as compared with the eucalyptus leaf extract alone. In addition, a skin external preparation containing a eucalyptus leaf extract, or a skin external preparation containing a eucalyptus leaf extract and a turmeric rhizome extract has an excellent effect on improving rough skin, preventing wrinkles, improving skin, and improving the skin. The present invention was completed by finding out that it is well-familiar with, excellent in feeling of use such as no stickiness after use, and excellent in stability over time.

〔実施例1,2、比較例1:エストロゲン様作用活性の測定〕
上記のユーカリ葉抽出物およびウコン根茎抽出物を用いて、下記の方法によりエストロゲン様作用活性を測定した。なお、エストロゲン様作用活性の測定には、ユーカリ葉抽出物単独(実施例1)、ウコン根茎抽出物単独(比較例1)、およびそれら両成分の等量混合物(実施例2)を試料とした。その結果を表1に示す。
[Examples 1 and 2, Comparative Example 1: Measurement of estrogenic activity]
Using the above-mentioned eucalyptus leaf extract and turmeric rhizome extract, estrogenic activity was measured by the following method. For the measurement of estrogenic activity, eucalyptus leaf extract alone (Example 1), turmeric rhizome extract alone (Comparative Example 1), and an equal mixture of both components (Example 2) were used as samples. . The results are shown in Table 1.

〔エストロゲン様作用活性の測定〕
エストロゲン様作用活性を、エストロゲン依存性細胞の増殖に対する影響を調べる方法(Invitrocell. Dev. Biol. 28A, 595-602, 1992)で、測定した。すなわち、ヒト乳がん細胞由来MCF−7細胞(理研細胞バンク、JCRB0134)を5%FBS(チャコール・デキストラン処理)、1mMピルビン酸ナトリウムを含有するEagle's MEM (フェノールレッド除去)を用いて、2.5×104個/mLの細胞密度で浮遊させた細胞懸濁培地0.2mLを96穴培養プレートに播種し、24時間培養後、各試料を表1に記載の設定濃度になるように培地で調整した試料溶液20μLを96穴培養プレートに添加した。6日間培養後、MTT還元法にて生細胞数の測定を行った。エストロゲン様作用活性は、試料無添加で培養した生細胞数に対する試料添加で培養した生細胞数の割合(相対値%)で表わした。
[Measurement of estrogenic activity]
The estrogenic activity was measured by a method (Invitrocell. Dev. Biol. 28A, 595-602, 1992) for examining the effect on the proliferation of estrogen-dependent cells. That is, human breast cancer cell-derived MCF-7 cells (RIKEN Cell Bank, JCRB0134) were treated with 2.5% FBS (charcoal dextran treatment) and Eagle's MEM (phenol red removed) containing 1 mM sodium pyruvate. Cell suspension medium (0.2 mL) suspended at a cell density of 10 4 cells / mL is seeded in a 96-well culture plate, cultured for 24 hours, and each sample is adjusted with the medium to the set concentration shown in Table 1. 20 μL of the prepared sample solution was added to a 96-well culture plate. After culturing for 6 days, the number of viable cells was measured by MTT reduction method. The estrogenic activity was expressed as a ratio (relative value%) of the number of living cells cultured with the addition of the sample to the number of living cells cultured without the addition of the sample.

Figure 2012126695

表1の結果から、ユーカリ葉抽出物のみを用いた実施例1では、ウコン根茎抽出物単独(比較例1)に比べて、濃度依存的に高いエストロゲン様作用活性が認められた。さらに、ユーカリ葉抽出物とウコン根茎抽出物を組み合わせた試料(実施例2)では、両抽出物の総濃度と同じ濃度のユーカリ葉抽出物単独(実施例1)やウコン根茎抽出物単独(比較例1)に比べて、どの濃度においても飛躍的にエストロゲン様作用活性が増加していることが分かる。したがって、両抽出物を組み合わせることによる相乗効果が認められた。   From the results of Table 1, in Example 1 using only the eucalyptus leaf extract, higher estrogen-like activity was observed in a concentration-dependent manner than the turmeric rhizome extract alone (Comparative Example 1). Furthermore, in the sample combining eucalyptus leaf extract and turmeric rhizome extract (Example 2), eucalyptus leaf extract alone (Example 1) having the same concentration as the total concentration of both extracts or turmeric rhizome extract alone (comparison) Compared to Example 1), it can be seen that the estrogenic activity increased dramatically at any concentration. Therefore, the synergistic effect by combining both extracts was recognized.

実施例3,4と比較例2,3の対比より、ユーカリ葉抽出物あるいはユーカリ葉抽出物とウコン根茎抽出物を組み合わせた本発明に係る化粧水は、比較例2,3のものよりも肌荒れ改善効果、シワ防止・改善効果、美肌効果に優れていることが分かる。また、実施例3,4の化粧水は、両抽出物を含有しない比較例3と、肌へのなじみ性や使用後のべたつき等の使用感、経時安定性が同等であることから、ユーカリ葉抽出物やウコン根茎抽出物がこれらの性能を損なわないことも分かる。すなわち、本発明に係る化粧水が、肌荒れ改善効果、シワ防止・改善効果、美肌効果に優れ、かつ肌へのなじみが良く、使用後のべたつきが無い等の使用感にも優れるとともに、経時安定性にも優れることが分かる。   From the comparison between Examples 3 and 4 and Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the skin lotion according to the present invention in which the eucalyptus leaf extract or the eucalyptus leaf extract and the turmeric rhizome extract are combined is rougher than that of Comparative Examples 2 and 3. It turns out that it is excellent in the improvement effect, the wrinkle prevention / improvement effect, and the skin beautifying effect. Further, the skin lotions of Examples 3 and 4 are similar to Comparative Example 3 that does not contain both extracts, and the skin feel and the feeling of use such as stickiness after use and the stability over time are equivalent. It can also be seen that the extract and turmeric rhizome extract do not impair these performances. That is, the skin lotion according to the present invention is excellent in rough skin improvement effect, wrinkle prevention / improvement effect, beautifying skin effect, is well-familiar to the skin, has excellent feeling of use such as no stickiness after use, and is stable over time. It turns out that it is excellent also in property.
