  • Test Example 1 Examination 1 of skin water permeation-promoting effect of adenosine phosphate
  • 12 healthy human adults (10 males and 2 females; average age: 41.2 years old) were used as subjects. More specifically, 9 cm x 8 cm areas of the upper front right and left arms were used as test sites.
  • An appropriate amount of a 20% hydrous ethanol solution containing 3% adenosine 5' -sodium monophosphate (AMP) (test sample) was applied to a test site on one arm, whereas the same amount of a 20% hydrous ethanol solution not containing AMP (reference sample) was applied to a test site on the other arm.
  • the application was performed twice per day (in the morning and in the evening) for 28 days.
  • the TEWL and the water content of the stratum corneum were measured before application (i.e., before the test) and after application (i.e., after 28 days of application) .
  • the TEWL value (g/m 2 /h) was measured by using a DermaLab tester (manufactured by Cortex Technology) according to the instructions included with the DermaLab tester (manufactured by Cortex Technology) .
  • the average TEWL value of each subject was calculated.
  • the electric conductivity ( ⁇ S) was measured by using a SKICON-200 tester (manufactured by I. B. S Co., Ltd.) according to the instructions included with the SKICON-200 tester (manufactured by I. B. S Co., Ltd.), and used as an index for the water content of the stratum corneum.
  • Table 1 shows the TEWL measurement results. Table 1 shows that when the reference sample was applied, there was substantially no difference between the TEWL values before and after the test; in contrast, when the test sample was applied, a tendency toward TEWL value increase was observed after 28 days of application, thus confirming enhanced skin water permeation function. Table 1
  • Table 2 shows the stratum corneum water content measurement results. Table 2 shows that when the test sample was applied, a remarkable increase in the water content of the stratum corneum was observed after 28 days of application. Increased TEWL is generally considered to reduce the water content of the stratum corneum. However, the above test results revealed that AMP can increase both TEWL and the water content of the stratum corneum. Table 2
  • test Example 1 a test was performed in a manner similar to Test Example 1, using an emulsion, which is generally used as an external cosmetic, in place of the aqueous ethanol solution used in Test Example 1.
  • the test conditions such as the subject and the test period, were the same as in Test Example 1, except for the medium of the test sample and the test sites in the upper front arms.
  • the emulsion used in this test has a general composition.
  • cornified envelope (CE) in the stratum corneum was observed to investigate whether application of AMP affects skin barrier function. More specifically, to confirm the effect of application of AMP on the number of immature keratinocytes, tape was applied to the test sites so as to obtain the stratum corneum after 28 days of application of the test sample or the reference sample. The stratum corneum thus obtained was stained with a fluorescent-labeled anti-involucrin antibody, and mature keratinocytes were then stained with a fluorescent-labeled anti- mature cell antibody. Subsequently, each stained sample was observed under a fluorescence microscope to calculate the ratio of the number of immature keratinocytes to the total number of keratinocytes .
  • Table 3 shows the TEWL measurement results. Table 3 shows that when the reference sample was applied, there was substantially no difference between the TEWL values before and after the test; in contrast, when the test sample was applied, a significant increase in TEWL was observed after 28 days of application, thus confirming enhanced skin water permeation function. Table 3
  • Table 4 shows the stratum corneum water content measurement results. Table 4 shows that when the reference sample was applied, an increase in the water content of the stratum corneum was observed; when the test sample was applied, a more remarkable increase was observed.
  • the increased water content of the stratum corneum achieved by application of the reference sample is believed to be due to a so-called temporal stratum corneum water retention effect obtained by coating the skin with a film.
  • the increased water content of the stratum corneum and enhanced water permeation function achieved by application of the test sample are believed to result from enhanced stratum corneum function and increased ability to supply water from the deep layers of the skin to the outermost layer. Since these effects are provided by iraproving the skin' s own function and ability, the effects are expected to persist even after application of the test sample is completed.
  • Table 5 shows the ratio of the number of immature keratinocytes to the total number of keratinocytes. It is generally believed that the observation of many immature keratinocytes in the stratum corneum indicates rough skin or reduced stratum corneum barrier function. As shown in Table 5, the results show that when the test sample containing AMP was applied, the ratio of the number of immature keratinocytes did not increase. Thus, the results confirmed that application of the test sample containing AMP does not reduce the skin barrier function.
  • Test Example 3 Examination of skin water permeation-inhibitory effect of adenosine phosphate
  • a test was conducted to examine the effect of an adenosine phosphate on a skin with overly enhanced skin water permeation function.
  • the test was conducted using 9 healthy human adults (9 males; average age: 43.1 years old) as subjects. More specifically, 7 cm x 4.5 cm areas on the outer right and left calves of each subject were used as test sites.
  • a 0.25 w/v% aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (aqueous SDS solution, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries) was applied to the test sites on both the right and left calves in such a manner as to cover the test sites with an occlusive barrier for 24 hours.
  • the application sites were washed and used as rough skin models.
  • An emulsion containing 3% sodium adenosine 5' -monophosphate was used as a test sample.
  • An appropriate amount of the emulsion containing sodium adenosine 5' -monophosphate was applied to a test site on one calf, whereas nothing was applied to a test site on the other calf.
  • the application of the emulsion was started after the treatment with the aqueous SDS solution (day 0) , and was performed twice per day for 7 days.
  • TEWL value and the stratum corneum water content were measured in the same manner as in Test Example 1, before and after treatment with the aqueous SDS solution; and after 1 day, 3 days, and 7 days of application of the test sample. Further, the surface condition of the skin after 7 days of application of the test sample was observed. The condition of the skin surface was observed using a microscope (manufactured by Scalar) .
  • Fig. 1 shows the TEWL measurement results. As shown in
  • Fig. 1 the treatment with the aqueous SDS solution clearly increased TEWL value, and also caused unmistakably rough skin; afterward, TEWL value was more sharply reduced at the test sample application skin site than at the non-application skin site according to observations after 3 days and 7 days of application.
  • Fig. 2 shows the water content of the stratum corneum. As shown in Fig. 2, the treatment with the aqueous SDS solution obviously reduced the water content of the stratum corneum; afterward, the water content of the stratum corneum did not increase at the non-application skin site even after 7 days, whereas the water content of the stratum corneum was remarkably increased at the skin site where the test sample was applied.
  • Figs. 3a and 3b show the skin surface condition observation results.
  • the skin surface pattern composed of sulcus cutis, cristae cutis, and area cutanea, disappeared, and flaking of the stratum corneum was observed.
  • the AMP-containing test sample application site Fig. 3b
  • a skin surface pattern was observed, and no flaking of the stratum corneum was observed. The above results confirmed that application of the AMP-containing test sample is effective for ameliorating rough skin caused by excessive TEVJL value.
