Definitions
- the present invention relates to cosmetic skin conditioning compositions containing certain compounds which mimic the effect on skin of retinoic acid.
- Retinol is an endogenous compound which occurs naturally in the human body, and is essential for normal epithelial cell differentiation. Natural and synthetic vitamin A derivatives have been used extensively in the treatment of a variety of skin disorders and have been used as skin repair or renewal agents. Retinoic acid has been employed to treat a variety of skin conditions, e.g., acne, wrinkles, psoriasis, age spots and discoloration. See e.g., Vahlquist, A. et al., J. Invest . Dermatol . , Vol. 94, Holland D.B. and Cunliffe, W.J. (1990), pp. 496-498; Ellis, CN.
- retinol esters and retinol are enzymatically converted in the skin into retinoic acid according to the following mechanism: Retinol metabolism in the epidermis: enzyme names
- the present invention is based on the discovery that certain compounds enhance the conversion of retinyl esters and retinol to retinoic acid.
- the compounds are collectively termed "boosters" and are coded as groups Bl to B5 according to the boosting mechanism of the particular compound.
- the mechanism of the booster groups is as follows: inhibiting ARAT/LRAT (AcylCoenzymeA (CoA) : retinol acyl transferase/Lecithin: retinol acyl transferase) activity (Bl) , enhancing retinol dehydrogenase activity (B2), inhibiting retinal reductase activity (B3) , antagonising CRABP-II (Cellular Retinoic Acid Binding Protein II) binding of retinoic acid (B4) and inhibiting cytochrome P450 dependent retinoic acid oxidation (B5) .
- ARAT/LRAT AcylCoenzymeA (CoA) : retinol acyl transferase/Lecithin: retinol acyl transferase) activity
- B2 enhancing retinol dehydrogenase activity
- B3 inhibiting retinal reductase activity
- the boosters alone or in combination with each other potentiate the action of retinoids by increasing the conversion of the retinoids to retinoic acid and preventing the degradation of retinoic acid.
- the boosters act in conjunction with a retinoid (e.g. retinol, retinyl esters, retinal, retinoic acid) , the latter being present endogenously in the skin.
- a retinoid e.g. retinol, retinyl esters, retinal, retinoic acid
- the preferred compositions include a retinoid in the composition, co-present with a booster or a combination of boosters, to optimise performance.
- the molecules which act as retinoid boosters are common ingredients in cosmetic products. There is considerable prior art describing their use in cosmetic compositions. There is substantial prior art describing the use of two or more of these molecules in the same composition. Some of the examples of the prior art are as in US 5,665,367, US 5747049, US 5853705, US 5766575, and US 5849310.
- the prior art does not describe synergy arising from combinations of booster molecules. This observation of a synergistic boosting of retinoid activity from combinations of booster molecules was an unexpected finding.
- the prior art does not describe optimal concentrations or ratios of booster molecules or ratios of booster molecules to that of retinoids.
- the present invention is novel in that by combining cosmetic retinoids with booster molecules, at the most appropriate concentrations or ratios, a substantial improvement in efficacy of the retinoids is obtained.
- boosters suitable for use in the present invention include but are not limited to the boosters listed in Tables Bl through to B5.
- the present invention includes, in part, a skin conditioning composition containing from about 0.0001% to about 50%, preferably from 0.001% to 10%, most preferably from 0.001% to 5% by weight of the composition of a booster or combination of boosters and a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.
- boosters or combinations thereof included in the inventive compositions are selected from the group consisting of:
- boosters selected from the group consisting of: B1/B2; B1/B3; B1/B4; B1/B5; B2/B3, B2/B4; B2/B5, B3/B4; B3/B5; B4/B5
- compositions include from about 0.001% to about 10%, by weight of the composition of a retinoid.
- the compounds included in the present invention as boosters are selected based on the ability of such compounds to pass, at a certain concentration listed in Table A, in-vitro Assays for a specific enzymes as described below under sections 2.1 through to 2.7. Such a booster is included in the present invention even if it is not explicitly mentioned herein. Put another way, if a compound inhibits or enhances sufficiently an enzyme in an assay described below, it will act in combination with a retinoid to mimic the effect on keratinocytes (skin cells) of retinoic acid, and thus it is included within the scope of the present invention.
- condition means prevention and treatment of dry skin, acne, photo-damaged skin, appearance of wrinkles, age spots, aged skin, increasing stratum corneum flexibility, lightening skin colour, controlling sebum excretion and generally increasing the quality of skin.
- the composition may be used to improve skin desqua ation and epidermal differentiation.
- the presence of the selected compounds in the inventive product substantially improves the performance of a retinoid.
- compositions contain, as a preferred ingredient, a retinoid, which is selected from retinyl esters, retinol, retinal and retinoic acid, preferably retinol or retinyl ester.
- retinol includes the following isomers of retinol: all-trans-retinol, 13-cis- retinol, 11-cis-retinol, 9-cis-retinol, 3, 4-didehydro- retinol, 3, 4-didehydro-13-cis-retinol; 3, 4-didehydro-ll-cis- retinol; 3, 4-didehydro-9-cis-retinol.
- Preferred isomers are all-trans-retinol, 13-cis-retinol, 3, 4-didehydro-retinol, 9-cis-retinol. Most preferred is all-trans-retinol, due to its wide commercial availability.

- the preferred ester for use in the present invention is selected from retinyl palmitate, retinyl acetate and retinyl propionate, because these are the most commercially available and therefore the cheapest. Retinyl linoleate and retinyl oleate are also preferred due to their efficacy.
- Retinol or retinyl ester is employed in the inventive composition in an amount of from about 0.001% to about 10%, preferably in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 1%, most preferably in an amount of from about 0.01% to about 0.5%.

- Tgase assay Prior to initiating experiments, to determine the effects of combinations of booster molecules standard Tgase assay conditions were investigated. A fully validated Tgase assay was established as follows:
- Substrate solution For 10 ml phosphate citrate buffer 4 . 0 mg o-phenylenediamine Sigma P-7288
- Keratinocyte Growth Media (KGM) Clonetics (Cat# 3111; Phosphate Buffered Saline; Dulbecco's without Ca/MgCl2) Life Technology (Cat # 14200-075

- DMSO Sensitivity ' Various concentrations of DMSO ranging from 0-2% were tested for the effect on transglutaminase production in keratinocytes. The assay was sensitive to DMSO concentration with significant inhibition of activity, above 0.5% DMSO. Hence, a final assay concentration of 0.1% was selected for subsequent sample concentration studies .
- C Dose Response Curves: Retinoic Acid and Retinol Based on the data, day 3 was selected as the optimal time and 0.1%DMSO was selected as the concentration to be used for further testing. An additional dose response experiment was carried out with retinoic acid and retinol in the presence of 0.1% DMSO, with the transglutaminase production being assayed on day 3. A good dose response was observed for Tgase inhibition by retinoic acid and retinol. 10-7M retinol gave an inhibition of Tgase in the linear range of concentration. Therefore, this concentration of retinol was chosen to evaluate the booster combinations .
- Booster concentrations - 10 mM to 0.1 nM Using the above conditions, dose response for all the different boosters (B1-B5) were tested to identify the best concentration of booster to test in combinations.
- Transglutaminase levels were determined and expressed in the Tables Bl through B5 either as:
- retinoid boosters include: inhibitors of ARAT/LRAT (Bl boosters) , inhibitors of retinaldehyde reductase (B3 boosters) , inhibitors of retinoic acid binding to CRABP-2
