Definitions
- the present invention relates to use of a composition comprising melatonin, a derivative or a metabolite thereof, and coenzyme Q10 suitable for potentiating the movement of said molecules into the cell mitochondrion and protecting the skin against the damage caused by oxidative stress. Therefore, the invention could be comprised in the field of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
- UV radiation ultraviolet radiation
- ROS inducers responsible for oxidative damage and immune lesion of peripheral tissues such as the skin.
- Melatonin is a neurohormone that is synthesized and metabolized in the skin, where it plays a very important role. Some of its functions are related to the antioxidant properties of melatonin and include protection against UV rays and X-rays, as well as to other oxidizing agents inducing oxidative damage in the skin, including surgical interventions and burns (Izykowska I et al., In Vivo 2009, 23:739-745). Particularly, melatonin is a strong protector against UV radiations, fundamentally against UVB radiations, which are the most noxious component of UV radiations.
- melatonin Exposure to both UV-B and UV-A induces melatonin metabolism with the subsequent increase in 2-hydroxymelatonin and in N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynureneamine (AFMK). Furthermore, melatonin also activates the antioxidant cascade in the skin, reducing free radicals. This data suggests that melatonin can control the redox state through its antioxidant functions.
- the coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10; ubiquinone) is a molecule that is fundamental for mitochondrial function. It acts like an electron carrier in the electron transport chain.
- the reduced form of CoQ10, or ubiquinol is one of the most potent lipophilic antioxidants of cell membranes (Bentinger M et al., Mitochondrion 2007, 7, S41-S50).
- CoQ10 is necessary for pyrimidine synthesis and can modulate apoptosis and mitochondrial uncoupling proteins.
- CoQ10 increases mitochondrial function and is therefore useful in mitochondrial pathologies and in pathologies presenting with mitochondrial damage, such as neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's and Alzheimer's), as well as in cellular ageing.
- CoQ10 is a very lipophilic molecule that accumulates in the membrane and moves into the mitochondrion in very small amounts. Therefore, exogenous CoQ10 is primarily distributed in the lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane, and only a small amount moves into the mitochondrion. Furthermore, most of the CoQ10 that moves into the mitochondrion is trapped by the external mitochondrial membrane, not being available for the respiratory chain which is located in the internal mitochondrial membrane. The administration of CoQ10 does not increase levels of ATP in patients with a CoQ10 deficiency after one week of treatment.
- compositions for the treatment of ageing of the skin comprising the mixture of several substances, and included among them are both melatonin and coenzyme Q10, have been claimed in various patents.
- US patent application 2005/0025756 A1 describes the combination of CoQ10 and other chemical substances in a chemical composition causing an increase in the delivery of coenzyme Q10 into a cell, which enables overcoming the solubility problems thereof, being able to be absorbed by the cell more quickly.
- the present invention describes a composition comprising melatonin or a derivative thereof, preferably at a concentration of 1.0 to 5.0% w/v, and CoQ10, preferably at a concentration of 0.2 to 1.5% w/v, for the production of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition for potentiating the movement of said molecules into the mitochondrion, and therefore use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of ageing of the skin.
- the examples of the following invention show in vivo results of the levels of these molecules in the cytosol and in the mitochondria of skin cells, as well as the plasma levels reached after application of the cream on the skin.
- the composition of the invention is useful for potentiating the movement of CoQ10 and melatonin into the mitochondrion and for favoring percutaneous absorption, assuring that the melatonin and CoQ10 reach all of the layers of the skin, epidermis and dermis.
- the present invention demonstrates that the combination of CoQ10 and melatonin increases the movement of both molecules into the cell, and primarily into the mitochondrion, allowing percutaneous absorption at the same time, which does not occur when creams with the individual compounds are applied.
- the usefulness of the combination of melatonin, or its derivatives, and CoQ10 in the topical application on the skin, with a cell protection effect against oxidative stress, can be inferred from this earlier data.
- the topical application of melatonin+CoQ10 prevents cell function impairment as a result of mitochondrial damage caused by oxidative stress.
- composition of the invention relates to a composition (hereinafter “composition of the invention”) comprising:
- n is an integer between 1 and 4; preferably 1, 2 or 3.
- R 1 is a straight or branched (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl group
- R 2 is hydrogen, straight or branched (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl, a —C( ⁇ O)O—Ra group or a —C( ⁇ O)—N(H)—Ra group, wherein Ra is a straight or branched (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl group
- R 3 is a hydrogen or a straight or branched (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl group.
- melatonin, a metabolite or derivative thereof is understood as any cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable compound that is comprised within general formula (I), as well as the salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof, and is useful for the production of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition with CoQ10 for potentiating the movement of this molecule into the mitochondrion and facilitating percutaneous absorption. Therefore, when the present invention refers to the compounds of general formula (I), the present invention also refers to the salts, solvates or prodrugs thereof. Therefore, the compounds of general formula (I) described above refer to melatonin, the metabolites or derivatives thereof.
- alkyl herein refers to aliphatic, straight or branched chains, having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, for example, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, tert-butyl, sec-butyl, etc.
- the alkyl group has between 1 and 2 carbon atoms, and more preferably it is a methyl group.
- R 1 is a methyl group and R 3 is hydrogen or a methyl group.
- n 1
- R 2 is hydrogen
- the compound of formula (I) is selected from melatonin or N-acetylserotonin. More preferably it is melatonin.
- melatonin refers to N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, also referred to in the literature as melatonin, melatonine, melatol, melovine, circadin, ceremoniesn, acetaminde, N-acetyl-methoxy-tryptamine, 5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine, N-[2-(5-methoxy-1H-indol-3-yl)ethyl]acetamide or N-[2-(5-methoxyindol-3-yl)ethyl]acetamide, or when in the compound of general formula (I) R 1 and R 3 are a methyl group, n is 1 and R 2 is hydrogen.
- the CAS number for melatonin is the 73-31-4.
- Melatonin is an endogenous neurohormone produced by the pineal gland (epiphysis cerebri), as well as by other organs and tissues, such as the gastrointestinal tract, the retina, lymphocytes and cells of the bone marrow, and the skin, for example, in a physiological manner in animals, inter alia, in humans.

Abstract
The invention relates to a composition comprising melatonin, a metabolite or derivative thereof and coenzyme Q10 and to use thereof for the production of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition for the treatment of the skin, said composition potentiating the movement of both molecules into the mitochondrion and facilitating percutaneous absorption, in which both the melatonin and the CoQ10 can reach all of the strata of the skin.
Description
- The present invention relates to use of a composition comprising melatonin, a derivative or a metabolite thereof, and coenzyme Q10 suitable for potentiating the movement of said molecules into the cell mitochondrion and protecting the skin against the damage caused by oxidative stress. Therefore, the invention could be comprised in the field of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.
- The increase in the production of free radicals causes an increase in the stiffness of cell membranes and connective tissue due to cross linking. This leads to a decrease in blood supply to organs and tissues, with the subsequent decrease in the tissue perfusion. Free radicals inexorably damage the cell and mitochondrial function slowly decreases, not only due to the oxygen radicals (ROS) that are generated within the actual organelle, but also due to those it receives from the cytosol. As a result, the electron transport chain (ETC) and oxidative phosphorylation become inefficient, with the production of ATP decreasing. This energy deficiency reduces the mitochondrial defense capacity, which becomes more vulnerable to the attack of ROS, further decreasing the efficiency thereof. A vicious circle is thus closed which ends with cell apoptosis.
- In addition, ionizing radiations, such as ultraviolet radiation (UVR), are clear examples of ROS inducers, responsible for oxidative damage and immune lesion of peripheral tissues such as the skin.
- Melatonin is a neurohormone that is synthesized and metabolized in the skin, where it plays a very important role. Some of its functions are related to the antioxidant properties of melatonin and include protection against UV rays and X-rays, as well as to other oxidizing agents inducing oxidative damage in the skin, including surgical interventions and burns (Izykowska I et al., In Vivo 2009, 23:739-745). Particularly, melatonin is a strong protector against UV radiations, fundamentally against UVB radiations, which are the most noxious component of UV radiations. Exposure to both UV-B and UV-A induces melatonin metabolism with the subsequent increase in 2-hydroxymelatonin and in N1-acetyl-N2-formyl-5-methoxykynureneamine (AFMK). Furthermore, melatonin also activates the antioxidant cascade in the skin, reducing free radicals. This data suggests that melatonin can control the redox state through its antioxidant functions.
- The coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10; ubiquinone) is a molecule that is fundamental for mitochondrial function. It acts like an electron carrier in the electron transport chain. The reduced form of CoQ10, or ubiquinol, is one of the most potent lipophilic antioxidants of cell membranes (Bentinger M et al., Mitochondrion 2007, 7, S41-S50). Furthermore, CoQ10 is necessary for pyrimidine synthesis and can modulate apoptosis and mitochondrial uncoupling proteins.
- CoQ10 increases mitochondrial function and is therefore useful in mitochondrial pathologies and in pathologies presenting with mitochondrial damage, such as neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's and Alzheimer's), as well as in cellular ageing.
- Skin cells depend on mitochondrial activity to produce enough energy for cell proliferation, mitochondrial DNA replication, protein synthesis and other cellular activities to repair the damage caused by the environment. Mitochondrial function and ATP production in fibroblasts drop with exposure to UV radiations (Berneburg M et al., J Invest Dermatol 2005, 125:213-220). In other studies it has been demonstrated that levels of CoQ10 in the skin decrease with age. Therefore, the topical application of CoQ10 could have very beneficial effects for the skin.
- A number of papers have evaluated the efficacy of the administration of CoQ10 to normalize mitochondrial function (López L C et al., Plos One 2012, doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0011897); however, CoQ10 is a very lipophilic molecule that accumulates in the membrane and moves into the mitochondrion in very small amounts. Therefore, exogenous CoQ10 is primarily distributed in the lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane, and only a small amount moves into the mitochondrion. Furthermore, most of the CoQ10 that moves into the mitochondrion is trapped by the external mitochondrial membrane, not being available for the respiratory chain which is located in the internal mitochondrial membrane. The administration of CoQ10 does not increase levels of ATP in patients with a CoQ10 deficiency after one week of treatment.
- Compositions for the treatment of ageing of the skin, comprising the mixture of several substances, and included among them are both melatonin and coenzyme Q10, have been claimed in various patents.
- US patent application 2005/0025756 A1 describes the combination of CoQ10 and other chemical substances in a chemical composition causing an increase in the delivery of coenzyme Q10 into a cell, which enables overcoming the solubility problems thereof, being able to be absorbed by the cell more quickly.
- Accordingly, there is a need for a tool that facilitates the movement of CoQ10 into the mitochondrion and potentiates the movement of melatonin into the mitochondrion, and thereby reverses the mitochondrial damage caused in cellular ageing as well as in many pathologies presenting with mitochondrial damage.
- The present invention describes a composition comprising melatonin or a derivative thereof, preferably at a concentration of 1.0 to 5.0% w/v, and CoQ10, preferably at a concentration of 0.2 to 1.5% w/v, for the production of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic composition for potentiating the movement of said molecules into the mitochondrion, and therefore use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of ageing of the skin.
- The examples of the following invention show in vivo results of the levels of these molecules in the cytosol and in the mitochondria of skin cells, as well as the plasma levels reached after application of the cream on the skin. The composition of the invention is useful for potentiating the movement of CoQ10 and melatonin into the mitochondrion and for favoring percutaneous absorption, assuring that the melatonin and CoQ10 reach all of the layers of the skin, epidermis and dermis. The present invention demonstrates that the combination of CoQ10 and melatonin increases the movement of both molecules into the cell, and primarily into the mitochondrion, allowing percutaneous absorption at the same time, which does not occur when creams with the individual compounds are applied.
- The usefulness of the combination of melatonin, or its derivatives, and CoQ10 in the topical application on the skin, with a cell protection effect against oxidative stress, can be inferred from this earlier data. The topical application of melatonin+CoQ10 prevents cell function impairment as a result of mitochondrial damage caused by oxidative stress.

-
- a. coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), and
- b. at least one compound of general formula (I),
- where:

These examples are included only for illustrative purposes and must not be interpreted as limitations to the invention herein claimed. Therefore, the examples described below illustrate the invention without limiting the field of application thereof.
- The invention will be illustrated below by means of tests performed by the inventors which clearly show the usefulness of the cream comprising melatonin plus CoQ10 for potentiating the movement of these compounds into cells, primarily into the mitochondrion, and favoring percutaneous absorption, allowing these compounds to reach all of the layers of the skin.
- The following example provides formulations of cream comprising melatonin, cream comprising CoQ10 and cream comprising melatonin together with CoQ10 and the method of producing them:
-
CREAM 1: MELATONIN (aMT) PHASE A: 70° C. Montanov 68 5% Perhydrosqualene 5% Long-chain TG 5% Dimethicone 5% Phenopip 0.80% Vitamin E 0.50% PHASE B: 75° C. Glycerol 5% H2O qsf Melatonin 2% in 30% PG -
CREAM 2: CoQ10 PHASE A: 70° C. Montanov 68 5% Perhydrosqualene 5% Long-chain TG 5% Dimethicone 5% Phenopip 0.80% Vitamin E 0.50% PHASE B: 75° C. Glycerol 5% H2O qsf CoQ10 0.5% in 5% PG The solution comprising CoQ is added to the emulsion at 60° C. -
CREAM 3: CoQ10 + aMT PHASE A: 70° C. Montanov 68 5% Perhydrosqualene 5% Long-chain TG 5% Dimethicone 5% Phenopip 0.80% Vitamin E 0.50% PHASE B: 75° C. Glycerol 5% H2O qsf Melatonin 2% in 30% PG CoQ10 0.5% in 5% PG The solution comprising CoQ is added to the emulsion at 60° C.
where: TG triglyceride; PG propylene glycol. - The method for producing the creams 1, 2 and 3 was carried out by means of the following steps:
- PHASE A: all the components of phase A are mixed and it is heated until reaching the temperature of 70° C.
- PHASE B: the 2% melatonin in 30% PG is prepared: 2 grams of melatonin are weighed and dissolved in 30 ml of PG for 100 ml of final composition. All the components are mixed and it is heated until reaching the temperature of 75° C.
- Finally, phase B is added to phase A.
- For creams 2 and 3, the method is the same as for cream 1.
- Phase B is added to phase A. The solution comprising CoQ in PG is added when the temperature of this mixture reaches 60° C.
- Each of the creams described in the preceding example was administered to experimentation animals by topical route. Nude male mice 3 months of age (Harlan) were used. The animals were independently housed in conventional cages in an animal facility conditioned for that purpose in the Centro de Investigación Biomédica (Biomedical Research Center), in sterile conditions and under a controlled light period (12:12 h) and temperature (22±1° C.) environment, and laboratory diet and water ad libitum. The study was conducted in samples of skin from the back of the mice.
- The experimental groups included 6 mice each, and they were the following:
-
- Control group (C)
- Group treated with cream comprising 2% melatonin
- Group treated with cream comprising 0.5% CoQ10
- Group treated with cream comprising 2% melatonin+0.5% CoQ10
- Application of the different formulations of the cream was done in the dorsal area at a ratio of 15 mg/cm2/day (5 mg/cm2/administration).
- Administration of the cream in the different groups was done twice a day (every 12 hours). The animals were sacrificed a month after starting treatment.
- Blood samples are taken before the animals are sacrificed. The animals are anesthetized with chloroform and 1 ml of blood is taken by means of cardiac puncture. Plasma is separated from the red blood cells, which is used to measure levels of melatonin. After taking the blood sample and sacrificing the animals, samples of skin are taken from the back by means of surgical dissection. The skin is placed in a Petri dish with phosphate-buffered saline. The adipose tissue is removed, cut into pieces, and frozen at −80° C. until analysis. The method for extracting the epidermis and the histochemical technique are based on the protocol described by Scaletta and MacCalum, (Am J. Anat. 133: 431-53, 1972).
- These samples were used to evaluate levels of melatonin and CoQ10 in the cytosol and mitochondrion of the skin and in plasma.
- By observing the results obtained in
FIGS. 2 and 5 , it is shown that melatonin potentiates the movement of CoQ10 into the mitochondrion, and conversely, CoQ10 potentiates the movement of melatonin into said organelle, since both compounds are at a significantly higher amount in the mitochondrion in the group in which they were jointly administered in the cream, compared with the administration of only melatonin or of only CoQ10.FIG. 2 shows that melatonin potentiates the movement of CoQ10 into the mitochondrion.FIG. 5 shows that CoQ10 potentiates the movement of melatonin into the cell in a very significant manner. A concentration of melatonin in the mitochondrion in the presence of CoQ10 is shown to be 4 times greater. These results are confirmed by what is shown inFIGS. 1 and 4 , since in the case ofFIG. 1 , levels of CoQ10 in the cytosol are lower in the group of the joint administration of melatonin and CoQ10, than in the case of CoQ10 administered alone. Therefore, in the case of joint administration, CoQ10 began to be introduced into the mitochondrion from the cytosol. In the case ofFIG. 4 , CoQ10 potentiates in a very significant manner the movement of melatonin into the cell, and specifically into the mitochondrion. Additionally, despite the fact that CoQ10 increases the movement of melatonin into the mitochondrion, the melatonin continues to be very high in the cytosol, levels of this molecule in the cytosol being much higher when it is administered together with CoQ10 than when it is administered alone. - In addition to the movement of CoQ10 into the mitochondrion being potentiated, percutaneous absorption of this molecule is simultaneously favored as melatonin and CoQ10 are administered at the same time. This is reflected in the results shown by the group of joint administration in
FIGS. 3 and 6 , in which the levels of both CoQ10 and melatonin, respectively, are higher in plasma. Melatonin allows the absorption of CoQ through the dermis, which means that this molecule can reach all of the layers of the skin and does not remain only in the epidermis.
