【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、表皮セラミドの生成を促進し得る表皮セラミド生成促進剤、及びこれを含有して成る、表皮セラミドの充実を図り、表皮保湿機能を正常化し得る、表皮保湿機能改善剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
セラミドが、表皮細胞間脂質の構成成分として表皮の保護機能及び保湿機能に関与し、加齢や紫外線曝露,有機溶媒や界面活性剤との接触といった物理的及び化学的ストレスによりセラミドの減少や構造の乱れが生じることにより、表皮の前記機能が損なわれることが明らかになるにつれ、これを外用により補う試みがなされ(特開昭61−260008,同63−192703)、さらには保湿機能,安定性,安全性等に優れ、コスト的にも安価なセラミド類似のアミド誘導体の使用も多く開示されるに至っている(特開昭63−216812,同63−218609,同63−222107等)。
【0003】
しかしながら、セラミド或いはその類似化合物を外用しても、これらが効率よく経皮吸収され、表皮内で細胞間脂質の再構築に利用されるとはいい難い状況であった。また本来であれば、表皮内のセラミドの生成自体を活性化することが好ましいのであるが、これまで有効なセラミド生成促進剤はあまり報告されていない。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an epidermis ceramide production promoter that can promote the production of epidermis ceramide, and an epidermis moisturizing function improving agent that contains this and can enhance the epidermis ceramide and normalize the epidermis moisturizing function.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Ceramide is involved in the protective and moisturizing functions of the epidermis as a constituent of the epidermal intercellular lipid, and the decrease and structure of ceramide due to physical and chemical stresses such as aging, UV exposure, contact with organic solvents and surfactants. As it becomes clear that the above-mentioned function of the epidermis is impaired due to the disturbance of the skin, attempts have been made to compensate for this by external application (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-260008, 63-192703), and further, the moisture retention function and stability. Many ceramide-like amide derivatives, which are excellent in safety and the like and inexpensive in cost, have been disclosed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 63-216812, 63-218609, 63-222107, etc.).
[0003]
However, even if ceramide or a similar compound is applied externally, it is difficult to efficiently transdermally absorb these and use them to reconstruct intercellular lipids in the epidermis. Moreover, originally, it is preferable to activate the production of ceramide in the epidermis, but no effective ceramide production promoter has been reported so far.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to obtain an epidermis ceramide production promoter and an epidermis moisturizing function improving agent that can effectively promote the production of ceramide in the epidermis and improve the moisturizing function itself of the epidermis.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, a search for a substance capable of promoting the production of epidermal ceramide was conducted. As a result, one or more selected from the group consisting of fatty acids and salts and derivatives thereof, L-carnitine and DL-carnitine, and It has been found that good results can be obtained by using one or more selected from the group consisting of these salts and derivatives in combination in a carrier or base, and the present invention has been completed.

First, normal human epidermal keratinocytes were seeded at a density of 5,000 cells / dish in a 35 mm diameter dish, and 90% confluent at 37 ° C. in a serum-free liquid medium for proliferation of normal human epidermal keratinocytes (Kurabo). Incubate until reached. Next, 1.0 ml of each of the above Examples and Comparative Examples was added to the medium, and a medium for cell differentiation prepared with a total volume of 100 ml (10 vol% fetal calf serum, 10 μg / ml insulin, 0.4 μg / ml hydrocortisone was added) Dulbecco's modified basal medium (manufactured by Nikken Biomedical Research Institute) and Ham's F-12 medium (manufactured by Kyokuto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), and the culture is performed while changing the medium every two days. Then, lipids were extracted from the keratinocytes recovered from the dish on the 10th day with a chloroform / methanol mixed solvent (volume ratio = 2: 1). The extracted lipid was dried and dissolved in 200 μl of the mixed solvent, and ceramide was quantified by thin layer chromatography. In addition, the system which did not add an Example and a comparative example but changed the culture medium similarly in the culture medium for cell differentiation was made into the control | contrast. The experiment was performed twice for each system, and the average value was calculated and shown in Table 1.
[0016]
