抑制酪胺酸酵素轉譯之方法、核酸分子及醫藥組合物Method for inhibiting translation of tyrosinase, nucleic acid molecule and pharmaceutical composition

本發明係關於一種抑制黑色素(melanin)生成之方法。具體而言,本發明係關於一種藉由抑制酪胺酸酵素之轉譯,以抑制黑色素生成之方法。The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting the production of melanin. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for inhibiting melanin production by inhibiting translation of tyrosinase.

動物之體色深淺與黑色素之生成息息相關,其中尤以麥拉寧黑色素為最。麥拉寧黑色素係由麥拉寧母細胞(melanoblast)所形成,其形成係受到多方刺激影響,如年齡增加、環境污染、遺傳因素等,但最大的因素係來自過多曝曬紫外線。當接受日曬時,動物體表之酪胺酸酵素(tyrosinase)活化會被活化,而代謝酪胺酸(tyrosine)成為左旋多巴對苯二酚(dopaquinone),並進一步轉換成麥拉寧黑色素。所生成之麥拉寧黑色素藉由麥拉寧母細胞自身之樹突狀結構,將裝滿黑色素小囊(melanosome)之黑色素傳導到角質細胞(keratin),角質細胞經由角質分化,由肌膚基底層移動到上層形成上層角質細胞,當角質細胞老化萎縮後,細胞核消失,而形成大量含有角質細胞與黑色素的死細胞,使皮膚暗沉並出現斑點。The body color of animals is closely related to the production of melanin, especially melanin melanin. Melanine melanin is formed by melanoblast, and its formation is affected by multiple stimuli, such as age, environmental pollution, genetic factors, etc., but the biggest factor comes from excessive exposure to ultraviolet light. When exposed to sunlight, the activation of tyrosinase on the surface of the animal is activated, while the metabolism of tyrosine becomes levodopa hydroquinone and further converted to melanin melanin. . The resulting melanin melanin transports melanin filled with melanin vesicles to keratin cells by the dendritic structure of the melanin parent cells themselves. The keratinocytes are differentiated by keratinocytes and the basal layer of the skin. Move to the upper layer to form the upper keratinocytes. When the keratinocytes age and shrink, the nucleus disappears, and a large number of dead cells containing keratinocytes and melanin are formed, which makes the skin dull and spots appear.

目前美白之方式分為物理美白及化學換膚美白兩種。物理美白包含淺層磨皮與脈衝光照射兩種方式:(1)淺層磨皮包含微晶或鹽晶磨皮及鑽石微雕,其藉正壓或負壓之真空吸力,利用微細粒子清除臉上老舊角質。因其作用僅在表皮淺層,只能改善粉刺、毛孔粗大、使膚色較白淨,但對於深層斑點及細紋之消除卻無效果;(2)脈衝光照射利用寬頻波以多波長之脈衝光光束照射皮膚,使全臉一致性的色素變淡,脈衝光可作用至真皮層,增強血管收縮刺激纖維組織再生,但作用強度弱,需多次治療方具預期效果,而且,皮膚經脈衝光多次照射後是否有後遺症,尚屬未知。At present, the method of whitening is divided into physical whitening and chemical skinning and whitening. Physical whitening includes two methods: shallow microdermabrasion and pulsed light irradiation: (1) Shallow microdermabrasion contains microcrystalline or salt crystal microdermabrasion and diamond micro-carving, which uses fine particles to remove the face by vacuum suction of positive or negative pressure. Old horny. Because its effect is only in the shallow layer of the epidermis, it can only improve the acne, the pores are coarse, and the skin color is white, but it has no effect on the elimination of deep spots and fine lines; (2) Pulse light irradiation uses multi-wavelength pulsed light with wide frequency wave The light beam illuminates the skin, so that the pigment of the whole face is lightened. The pulsed light can act on the dermis layer to enhance the vasoconstriction and stimulate the regeneration of the fibrous tissue. However, the intensity of the action is weak, and the treatment needs multiple treatments, and the skin is pulsed. Whether there are sequelae after multiple exposures is unknown.

化學換膚美白包含使用去角質成分或漂白劑成分達到美白效果。Chemical skin whitening involves the use of exfoliating ingredients or bleaching ingredients to achieve a whitening effect.

去角質成分包含酸類(如果酸、甘醇酸、水楊酸或A酸)或左旋維他命C,其作用於皮膚角質層,包含淺層換膚與深層換膚。淺層換膚原理為使用具有腐蝕性或會引起焦痂的成分擦塗於皮膚,以去除角質,然而如停留之時間或濃度控制失當,將會造成程度不一之損傷,甚至造成換膚後皮膚抵抗力降低,變得容易感染或引超過敏反應,尤當皮膚發炎時反而引起發炎後色素沉著之反效果;深層換膚則會有燒灼感且更不舒服,使用者通常在換膚前30分鐘到60分鐘服用阿斯匹靈,以阻斷***素,有助於緩和換膚時的燒灼感,深層換膚因滲透較深,會造成結硬痂,如該換膚區域未接受適當處置,則可能感染並進一步導致疤痕之產生。此外,淺層及深層換膚期間仍需注意減少臉部摩擦,故使用者會被要求正躺睡眠、小心淋浴、最少的臉部摩擦、不要流汗、不要剔臉和避免陽光等,造成生活上之不便。漂白劑成份包含對苯二酚(hydroquinone)、鞠酸(kojic acid)及杜鵑花酸(azelaic acid),其藉由抑制酪胺酸酶之作用阻止酪胺酸轉換成左旋多巴對苯二酚,以降低麥拉寧母細胞製造麥拉寧黑色素的能力。但這些漂白劑皆具有刺激性,易引起刺灼及紅斑等敏感性的現象,特別是臨床顯示長期使用對苯二酚(特別是高劑量)會有永久性黑色素過多,於少數黑人及東方人上亦被報導會發生後天性黃褐症(ochronosis),故需於使用2至3個月後完全停止使用這些漂白劑。Exfoliating ingredients contain acids (if acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid or A acid) or L-vitamin C, which acts on the stratum corneum of the skin, including shallow skin resurfacing and deep skin resurfacing. The principle of shallow skin resurfacing is to use a corrosive or irritating component to rub the skin to remove keratin. However, if the time of stay or the concentration control is improper, it will cause different degrees of damage, even after skin resurfacing. The skin's resistance is reduced, it becomes easy to infect or induces more sensitive reactions, especially when the skin is inflamed, but it causes the anti-inflammatory effect after inflammation; deep skin resurfacing will have a burning sensation and is more uncomfortable, the user usually before the skin resurfacing Taking aspirin from 30 minutes to 60 minutes to block prostaglandins helps to ease the burning sensation during skin resurfacing. Deep skin resurfacing can cause hard knots due to deep penetration. If the skin area is not properly accepted Disposal may cause infection and further lead to scarring. In addition, during shallow and deep skin rejuvenation, attention should be paid to reducing facial friction, so users will be required to lie down, take care of showers, minimize facial friction, do not sweat, do not smear face and avoid sunlight, etc. Inconvenience. The bleaching agent comprises hydroquinone, kokuic acid and azelaic acid, which prevents the conversion of tyrosine to levodopa hydroquinone by inhibiting the action of tyrosinase. To reduce the ability of melanin to produce melanin melanin. However, these bleaching agents are irritating and easily cause sensitization such as stinging and erythema. In particular, clinically, long-term use of hydroquinone (especially high dose) has permanent melanin, in a few black and oriental people. It has also been reported that acquired ochronosis, so it is necessary to completely stop using these bleaching agents after 2 to 3 months of use.

基於上述理由,業界仍須一種兼具便利、有效且安全之抑制黑色素形成之方法。For the above reasons, the industry still needs a method that combines convenience, effectiveness, and safety to inhibit melanin formation.
