Invention Title: A COSMETIC COMPOSITION AND A METHOD FOR REDUCING THE AGING PROCESSES OF SKIN The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us A cosmetic composition and a method for reducing the ageing processes of skin The invention refers to a cosmetic composition and a method for reducing the ageing processes of skin and/or treating the pathological lesions of skin.
More specifically the invention refers to a cosmetic composition comprising a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula R YR SR C CH- CH-CH-,N I B R wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or a C 1 .5 alkyl group, 2 stands for a hydrogen atom, a C 1 s 5 alkyl group, a C 5 -7 cycloalkyl group or a phenyl group optionally substituted by a hydroxy or a phenyl group, or R and R" together with the nitrogen atom they are attached to form a 5 to 8 membered ring optionally containing one or more further nitrogen or oxygen atom(s) and said ring can be condensed with a benzene ring,
R
3 means a hydrogen atom, a phenyl group, a naphthyl group or a pyridyl group wherein said groups can be substituted by one or more halo atom(s) or CI.4 alkoxy group(s), Y is a hydroxy group, X stands for an amino group, -1 R forms with B a chemical bond, A is a group of the formula
R

R
I I -(CH)m -(CH)n b wherein
R
4 represents a hydrogen atom,
R
5 stands for a hydrogen atom, m has a value of 0, 1 or 2, n has a value of 0, 1 or 2, or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof as the active ingredient.
The human skin is a natural target of light radiation having several known pleasant and unpleasant effects such as sunburn and carcinogenesis. Due to the ultraviolet radiation free radicals (for example hydroxy radicals or nascent oxygen) form in the skin. Such free radicals can injure the DNA and contribute to the ageing of the skin.
A well-known theory of the ageing process of skin is based on the deteriorating effect of free radicals. In addition to the effect of ultraviolet radiation, free radicals may also form in biochemical processes. Thus, due to e.g. inflammation, hypoxia or reactive hyperaemia, free radicals of oxygen origin such as superoxide anion, perhydroxy or hydroxy radical, hydrogen peroxide etc. may form.
Free radicals having powerful oxidizing effect can injure the membrane by oxidizing the unsaturated fatty acid components of the membrane (peroxidization of lipid) on the one hand, and reactive aldehydes are formed during the oxidization on the other hand. In the injury of membrane, the increased intake of calcium leads to cell death, and pathological processes are started due to the presence of the reactive aldehydes: injury of DNA, mutation in both the cell nucleus and mitochondrium; change in the properties of the interstitial proteins (i.e.
elastin) owing to formation of crosslinks.
c It is known that the elastic structures of collagen proteins and elastin contain a lot of water. It is characteristic of the interstitial proteins that they are rich in lysine. The reactive aldehydes such as malondialdehyde give condensation reaction with the side chains containing amino groups to yield crosslinks. Thus, the originally elastic structure becomes rigid and hydrophobic. During the above process, at first lipofuscin ceroids, then age pigments are formed.
SThe natural protective mechanisms against ultraviolet radiation include bronzing due to the formation of melanin, DNA repair mechanism etc. The deficiency of a protective mechanism such as the damage of the DNA repair and consequently the loss of the correction of the DNA injuries caused by the ultraviolet rays leads to the early ageing of skin or perhaps to a disease called xeroderma pigmentosum that can be accompanied by the development of a malignant tumor. Sunburn spots caused by bronzing in the early childhood are healed leaving an extended scar.
In addition to spinocellular carcinoma, various malignant tumors melanoma, cerato-acanthoma, basalioma, sarcoma) can develop.
Thus, it is of great significance if the ageing processes of skin could be influenced and the pathological lesions could be treated.
The hydroximic acid derivatives of the formula I are known.
HU-P No. 177 578 and its equivalent US-P No. 4,308,399 describe hydroximic acid derivatives within the compounds of the formula I suitable for the treatment of diabetic angiopathy.
HU-P No. 207 9,88 and its equivalent EP No. 417 210 also describe hydroximic acid halides having a selective beta-blocking effect, thus, being suitable for the treatment of diabetic angiopathy.
HU-P Application No. 2385/92 published under No. T/66350 describes further hydroximic acid derivatives. These known compounds can be used in the treatment of vascular deformations, mainly in the therapy of diabetes mellitus.
The aim of the invention is to provide a composition suitable for reducing the ageing processes of skin and/or treating the pathological lesions of skin.
It was found that the above aim is fulfilled by a composition comprising a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula I or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof as the active ingredient.
Under the pathological lesions of skin for which the composition of the invention is suitable, especially the followings are meant: dry skin; actinic keratosis, aktinic prurigo (Lopez-Gonzalez's disease); polymorphic light exanthema; toxic photopathy; photo-allergy; purpura senilis; solar atrophy of skin; puberal strias (stria migrans); elastoma diffusum (old skin); X-ray dermatitis; gouty polychondritis; decubitus (bedsore).
In the description and Claims, under the term "composition" a cosmetic composition is meant which is suitable in the first place for' local treatment, and is applied to the skin surface in a conventional manner.
In the description and Claims, under the term "comprises" and its grammatical variations this term does not preclude the presence of additional features, steps, integers or components.
The composition of the invention comprises a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula I or a physiologally acceptable acid addition salt thereof as the active ingredient in admixture with one or more conventional carrier(s) of cosmetic compositions.

Especially preferred compounds of the formula II are those wherein R' and R 2 together with the nitrogen atom they are attached o* to form a piperidino group, R 3 stands for a pyridyl group, m and n have a value of 0, X is as defined above. Of these compounds, preferred species are as follows: O-(3-piperidino-2-hydroxy-l-propyl)nicotinic amidoxime (Compound The compounds of the formula I can be prepared by the processes known from HU-P No. 177 578.
The composition of the invention contains, in general, 0.1 to by mass, suitably,2 to 10 by mass, preferably 4 to 5 by mass of a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula I or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof as the active ingredient and conventional carrier(s) of the cosmetic compositions.
The compositions of the invention can be conventional cosmetic formulations suitable for the local treatment of the skin surface. Preferred formulations are creams, body emulsions, sunemulsions, skin treatment foams, sprays, skin regenerating ampouls etc.
The compositions of the invention may contain, in addition to the active ingredient the conventional carriers of cosmetic compositions generally in an amount of 70 to 99.9 by mass.
Suitable carriers are, for example, one- or two-basic alcohols having a saturated or an unsaturated carbon chain such as cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, cetyl-stearyl alcohol, oleyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol; natural fats and oils such as olive oil, avocado oil, wheat-germ oilo, maize-germ oil, lanolin, cocoa-butter; higher hydrocarbons such as vaseline oil, vaseline; bee-wax; cellulose derivatives; emulgators such as sodium lauryl sulfate, fatty acid or oleic acid esters of sorbitan, fatty acid or oleic acid esters of poly(ethylene glycol)s, sorbitan ethers of fatty alcohols or oleic alcohols, poly(ethylene glycol) ethers of fatty alcohols or oleic alcohols, glycerides of fatty acids; vitamins, herb extracts such as camomile extract; preservatives such as methyl, phydroxy-benzoate, chlorohexidine gluconate; light protecting factors etc.
The compositions of the invention are prepared by blending the ingredients thereof, in a manner known per se. In case of compositions based on a water/oil or oil/water emulsion, in general, the ingredients of the fatty phase and those of the aqueous phase are separately admixed, then the two phases are blended using a fatty phase of elevated temperature, if required. The active ingredient of the formula I is added, preferably in an aqueous solution, to the fatty phase or to the mixture of the other ingredients.
The skin ageing inhibition effect of the compounds of the formula I was examined on guinea-pigs. The skin surface of 8 guinea-pigs was depilated, then, on both sides of the animals 1 cm 2 areas were irradiated by UV-B light of 100 mJ/cm 2 intensity. After the irradiation one side of the animals was covered with the cream of Example 1 comprising 4 by mass of the test compound as the ~active ingredient. The other side of each animal was covered with a mixture of cosmetic carriers comprising no active ingredient a cream corresponding to that of Example 1 was used, however, said cream contained water instead of the active ingredient, too). Thus, •as a matter of fact, an internal control was used in the experiment.
S *l In case of 4 animals the treatment with the cream was performed immediately after the irradiation, then the treatment was repeated daily for a week (group In case of the other 4 animals the skin surface irradiated was treated with the cream of the invention and the control cream, respectively, only 24 hours after the irradiation (group II).
In case of animals of group I a minimal erythema could be observed on the skin surface irradiated and treated with the composition of the invention 24 and 48 hours after the irradiation.
On the skin surface used as control an area without epithelium could be noticed, and this state subsisted during the 7 days of observation. From the 4th day no difference could be detected between the skin surface irradiated and treated with the composition of the invention and the surrounding skin area.
In case of animals of group II, on the treated area as well as on the control area, skin injuries (vesicula, bulla) could be observed, then an area without epithelium developped. On the 7th day after the irradiation the area treated with the composition of the invention was epithelized.
On the basis of the above examination it can be established that the skin surface is protected from the damaging effects of the UV-B light by the composition of the invention and the compound of the formula I, respectively. If the skin surface is treated with the composition of the invention immediately after the irradiation, only a weak injury of the epithelium is experienced, at the most.
Skin injuries developped by UV-B radiation are healed owing to the treatment with the composition of the invention in a S* shorter time than without treatment. The compound of the formula I exerts an epithelizing effect.
S* Thus, a further embodiment of the invention consists of a method for reducing the ageing processes of skin and/or treating the pathological lesions of skin, said method comprising treating the affected skin surface with a cosmetically effective non-toxic amount of a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula I or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof Suitably, the skin surface is treated with a cosmetic composition comprising 0.1 to 30 by mass of a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula I or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof Preferably, the skin surface is treated with O-(3-piperidino- 2-hydroxy-l-propyl)nicotinic amidoxime or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof.
