Abstract

Abstract A method for the prevention of phototoxic reactions caused by odorant substances or odorant substance composi-tions is described. The method comprises using 4-(1,1-di-methylethyl)-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane for this purpose.

Description

~2~3'7~1~

It is known that a series of organoleptically-active substances, especially odorant substances, produce undesired ~i.e. phototoxic) reactions on or in the skin when they are applied to the skin (e.g. as components of cosmetic preparations) and are there-lpon exposed to the influence of light.
These reactions can be accompanied by subjective and objective phenomena of the exposed skin such as itchillg, inflammations, swellings, reddenings, burnings.
The present invention is concerned with a method for the prevention of such phototoxic reactions caused by odorant substances or odorant substance compositions; the method comprises using for this purpose 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane, a substance which has been found to have a very good tolerance both dermally and systemically.
The present invention therefore provides a method for the prevention of phototoxic reactions caused by application to skin of an odorant substance or of a composition containing an odorant substance, which method comprises applying to the skin an amount of 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4'-methoxydibenzoyl-methane which is effective to prevent phototoxic reactions.
The invention is also concerned with odorant substances or odorant substance compositions which contain 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4'-methoxydiben-zoylmethane.
The invention is also concerned with the use of 4-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane, also referred to hereinafter as l'dibenzoylmethane", for the prevention of phototoxic reactions caused by odorant substances or odorant substance compositions.

; - 2 --~2~7~S
The most important produc:ts which usually produce phototoxic reactions are odorant substance ccmpositions of natural origin, especially a series of citrus oils such as, for example, bergamot oil, lemon oil, lime oil, orange oil and grapefrult oil. However, angelica oil or cumin oil can also be mentioned in this connection.

As synthetic, organoleptically-active substances which usualLy produce phototoxic reactions there can be mentioned, in particular, methyl N-methylanthranilate and 5-acetyl-1,1,2,3,3,6-hexamethylindane ("Phantolide").

The amount of dibenzoylmethane to be added con-veniently lies in the r~nge of about o.l to about 5 weightpercent, preferably about 0.1 to about 2 weight percent, of the product to be protected.

The dibenzoyLmethane can be added to the product 20 as such or dissolved in a solvent or solv~nt mixture (~Og.
in ethanol).

The following Example illustrates the present invention: ' Example Determination of the phototoxic potential of various products; guinea pigs were used as the experimental animals.
The investigations were carried out under standard conditioni. With the exception of the irradiation periods the animals were kept permanently in wire cages at a temperature of 22 + 2C and a relative atmospheric humidity of 45 - 10%. The daylight cycle was 12 hours/day.
Diet: standard feed and fresh water ad llbitum.

Light source: W-Lamp Westinghouse FS 40 "Blac~
Lamp"; energy: 1 x 104 erg/cm2/sec., spectrum: 320-400 nm, irradiation dosage: 20 j/cm2.

The male and female guinea pigs used weighed between 300-~So g.

Prior to the experimental periods it was ensured that all experimental animals were healthy.

The testmaterial(with or withoutadded dibenzoylmethane) wasapplied inthe highestpossible concentrationwhich was ini -tiallynon-irritating to the skin.Alcohol, acetone,water, pe-trolatum or other suitable solvents were used to dilute or susperd the test material.In addition,2%of dimethylsulphoxide were added to the solutions or incorporated into the preparation in order to increase the skin Penetration.
The test preparations were used as such or option-ally diluted.

~97~i Dosage: For the experiments the ~lcoholic, aceto-nic or aqueous solutions were applied to the skin in an amount of 0.025 ml/cm by means of a pipette. In the case of solutions in petrolatum or ir the case or preparations such as creams, salves, lotions etc amounts of 0.01 ml/2 cm2 were applied~

Observation periods: Obser~ation and evaluation of the skin reaction was carried out 4, 24 and 48 hours after the application of the test material.

Experimental proceduxe: A group of 4 guinea pigs was used to determine the tolerance threshold of the individual test materials p~ior to the induction phase.
In order to determine the highest possible concentration, the test material was applied to the flank (0.25 ml/2 cm2) not only undiluted but also diluted or suspended in suitable solvents in concentrations of 30%, 10%, 3~ and 1%
(or when necessary in even lower concentrations) and left uncovered.

Ex~erimental phase (induction phase): Both flanks of at least 10 guinea pigs were shaved a~ least 2 hours prior to the application of the test material. Thereupon, a maximum of 5 circles each of 2 cm2 were marked on each flank. On 4 of these circular sites there was applied 0.025ml of alcoholic, acetonic or a~ueous test solution (highest initially non-irritating concentration) or O.Cl ml of test solution, which was applied using other solvents or preparations such as creams, salves or lotions.

The fifth application site was in each case treated with a 0.1% alcoholic solution of 8-methoxypsoralen and served as the control.

30 minutes after the application of the test material the left flank of each experimental animal was exposed to a non-erythema producing W-A irradiation (20 j/cm2). The right fla~k remained non-irradiated aftex the application of the test material and served as the control.

Observation and evaluation: The animals were investigated for erythema and oedema formation 4, 24 and 48 hours after the application of the test material. ~he skin reaction was evaluated either with -, which signified no reaction, or with +, which signified a positive re-action.
