Cosmetic Preparation Containing High Molecular Antioxidant Component
Field of Invention The present invention relates to a cosmetic preparation containing an antioxidant hydrophilic component. The main and entire part of this component is a high molecular tamarind antioxidant with a molecular weight from 3xl03 to 5xl05 g.moi"1.
Back-πx>und of the invention Substances having antioxidant and antiradical effects have two functions in current cosmetic prep,arations. Commercial considerations lead to emphasising in particular their function of active component in a cosmetic preparation. This resides in their capability of local reducing of the active oxygen form in the immediate surrounding of the application to the skin, protecting against the oxidation of tissue components and their modification by secondary products of lipid oxidation. A not less important, although not so strongly highlighted, function of the antioxidants is their protective effect upon the components of the preparation in question that are sensitive to oxidation by air oxygen, which offers the benefit of higher stability of the product and it's longer shelf live. After the application to the skin the antioxidants and antiradicals can protect intercellular lipids, cell membranes, low molecular compounds, such as amino acids with thiol group and glutathione, and further macromolecules, such as proteins and glycosamin glycanes against direct oxidation. Reactive forms of oxygen affect the lipids, which results, in the final phase, in reactive aldehydes that can irreversibly modify soluble and insoluble proteins, with adverse effect upon their function. Such modification leading to cross-linking of the structural proteins of the dermis results in the loss of elasticity and the occurrence of wrinkles, as well as in damaging the cell integrity or exhausting the protective antioxidants that are naturally present in biological tissues. The use of antioxid.ants for the protection of the components of the final preparation that are sensitive to oxidation by air oxygen is important for ensuring long storage stability, as well as the utility characteristics of the product. A part of cosmetic carrier emulsions are lipids and also emulsifiers containing lipid segments in their molecules, which makes them easily prone to chemical conversions induced by reaction with oxygen. Many natural substances contain non
saturated bonds between carbon atoms which are susceptible to peroxidation. The change of chemical structure of components during the storage and use of cosmetic preparations usually leads to a decrease of dermal tolerance of these products , .and even to poor emulsion stability due to changed properties of the emulsifier and to changed polarity of the lipid components. For reducing the said interactions the current cosmetic preparations contain preferably at least one component with antioxidant or antiradical effect. According to the chemical structure and solubility in various phases of cosmetic carriers these substances can be hydrophilic or lipophilic. The choice of optimum antioxidant does not depend just upon the solubility in a certain carrier, but it is also affected by other properties, such as undesirable interactions with a carrier, stability in a final product during storage, skin penetration ability after a topical application of the preparation, possibly the production of cytotoxic or immunosuppressive products of a reaction with free radicals, with or without combined action with ultraviolet light. The use of lipophilic antioxidants in current cosmetic preparations is very popular. The reason is relatively good stability, high compatibility with emulsion systems and a good compatibility with non-emulsion ones, good skin tolerance and their ability to penetrate in deeper epidermal layers. The disadvantage is their sensitivity to oxygen leading, together with high penetrability, to a reduction of antioxidant concentration in the skin surface within a short time after the application, and even to a fast antioxidant exhaustion, such as under the combined effect with ultraviolet light. Then the skin surface has no protection against an attack of reactive compounds from the environment. Another disadvantage can reside in lower solubility within an environment supporting the creation of most hydrophilic reactive forms of hydrogen, and also the insufficiently investigated properties of products resulting from antioxidant reactions with radicals under the combined effect of ultraviolet light. Hydrophilic antioxidants have not been broadly used in current cosmetic preparations because of their low stability after treatment with liquid systems. The main favoured group uses various carrier forms and derivatives of ascorbic acid which can, however, interact with emulsion and gel systems and, moreover, they can cause changes of physical parameters of a final product during storage. A large group consists of antioxidants of phenolic character isolated from plant extracts, such as flavonoids, oligomeric proanthocyanides and their esters. However, these substances are intensively coloured and their use in commercially acceptable preparations is very limited. Their further disadvantage is their pro-oxidative effect in some biological systems, simile to the derivatives of ascorbic acid.. Sensitivity to oxygen and penetrability lead to time limited skin surface protection after topic application, the same as in lipophilic
antioxidants. In the function of antioxidant cosmetic components also enzymes can be used, such as superoxide dismutase and catalyse, but this brings problems related to their stabilisation during the storage of final products. Current preparations for decorative, sunbathing, baby products, and daily cosmetics have preferably some ingredients that are not water soluble, such as inorganic compounds of transition metals playing decorative or UN-protective functions. A topical application of such preparation leads to an accumulation of inorganic pigments in the skin surface, possibly just in a few upper layers of strata cornea. According to literature the oxides and ions of transition metals tend to catalyse in water environment and, in the presence of oxidising substances or UV rays, they create free radicals. Thus a very reactive hydroxyl radical is generated that impacts numbers of biologically important compounds and structures, initiating the production of cytotoxic secondary products. Topic application of cosmetic preparations containing currently used antioxidants in combination with pigments based upon inorganic compounds of transition metals is therefore connected with a fast decrease of antioxidant concentration in the skin surface as a result of a reaction with air oxygen, with reactive forms of oxygen, .and also due to its ability to penetrate into deeper cell strata. In the contrary, the concentration of insoluble chemically stable pigment in the skin surface does not decrease and, accordingly, hydroxyl radicals are generated throughout the whole period during which the factors causing oxidative stress .are effective. The existing technology allows the formulation of preparations containing antioxid.ants which, however, do not protect sufficiently the upper epidermal layers if they are applied to the skin at the same time as pigments based upon compounds of transition metals. The choice of an optimum combination of antioxidants with sufficiently long retention in the skin surface is a key issue for solving the task. A direction of further possible development is illustrated by US patent No. 5 612 321 describing a polysaccharide whose main chain has a bond to at least one group with antioxidant effect. Here the polysaccharide is not specified as an antioxidant, but as a polysaccharide with a higher resistance against cleavage by a hydroxyl radical leading to the decrease of it's molecular weight, whereas the therapeutic or cosmetic properties are close to the non modified polysaccharide. Further it is known from literature that many pl.ant extracts contain groups of components with various chemical structures and antioxidant effect. The presence of low molecular antioxidant substances in the Tamarindus indica species .are described in US patents No. 6 294 190 and 5 762 936.
Subject -matter of the invention The disadvantages of cosmetic preparations mentioned above containing antioxidant components, especially in a combination with pigments on the base of inorganic compounds of transition metals are eliminated to a great extent by the invention using a high molecular antioxidant produced by alkaline extraction of the coat of seeds of Tamarindus indica species. Literature describes low molecular, and even oligomeric substances extracted from tamarind seed coats by various organic solvents. Using an extraction method with a suitable solvent containing water as the main component with alkaline pH allows to reach an extraction of a complex with molecular weight from 3xl03 to 5xl05 g.mol"1, consisting of sub-molecular formations that are responsible for the anti-oxidant effect .and .are bonded with a polysaccharide of the xylane type. Components with molecular weight less than 3xl03 g.mol"1 are removed from the extracted complex by a suitable method. Using high molecular antioxidant isolated from the coats of tamarind seeds as a component for cosmetic preparations is beneficial in comparison with current antioxidants in use down to the present, because of it's longer retention in the skin surface. Since this antioxidant is soluble in the skin surface environment where also a hydroxyl radical is generated by the catalysis of transition metals ions, this invention offers the benefit of fast and durable deactivation of hydroxyl radicals, especially if applying preparations containing inorganic pigments. Also hydroxyl radicals being generated by interaction of ultraviolet light with the watery environment of the epidermis, the use of high molecular tamarind antioxidant is preferable also in all preparations used for the treatment of skin exposed to daylight. Its use is advantageous also for preparing a cosmetic carrier, since it does not disturb emulsion or gel structures created by emulsifiers or by gelling agents, respectively. In the presence of ions of transition metals it does not show any pro-oxidative impact, but it has a chelating effect upon these ions. Because its high molecular weight it penetrates the skin very slowly after its application, as compared with common antioxidants, the sub-molecular formations responsible for anti-oxidation effects being eliminated from the main chains of xylane type by the influence of the enzymatic system of the skin. For protecting all layers of the epidermis certain combinations of a high molecular antioxidant with lipophilic low molecular antioxidants are preferable.

The high-molecular antioxidant of the invention used in cosmetic preparations is a polysaccharide produced by alkaline extraction of seed coats of Tamarindus indica species. The coats are separated from seeds before the extraction, they are left to swell up and then the extraction is carried out in a suitable solvent, main part of which is water of alkaline pH. During the technological operations consisting of extract purification, stabilization, pH adjustment and drying, a complex is isolated having molecular weight from 3xl03 to 5x105 g.mol"1 and being created by sub-molecular aggregates that are bonded to a polysaccharide of a xylane type and are responsible for the antioxidant effect.

Carboxymethylglucane of the invention is a polysaccharide produced by partial carboxymethylation β-(l 3),(1 6) of glucane. The linear chain of this slightly branched polysaccharide is created by a β-D-glucopyranosyle unit connected by (1 3) bond. Mono-
saccharide side chains are connected with the linear chain by (1 6) bond and are created by β- -D-glucopyranosyle unit. The molecular weight of the carboxymethylglucane can be in the range of 5xl03 to lxlO7 g.mol"1. As schizophyllane for the purpose of the invention a polysacharide is understood that is isolated from the medium after cultivation of Schizophyllum commune. The linear chain of this slightly branched polysaccharide is created by β-D-glucopyranosyle units connected by (1 3) bond. The monosaccharide side chains are connected with the linear chain by (1 6) bond and are created by β-D-glucopyranosyle unit. This primary polysaccharide allows to prepare schizophyllane with lower molecular weight by bond cleavage inside the linear chain under given reaction condition. The factor leading to fragmentation can be higher temperature, hydrolysis in acid, neutral or alkaline environment, oxidative digestion with following reduction by radiation treatment, ultra-sound or enzyme digesting (1 3)-β-glycosidic bond. Molecular weight of schizophyllane can be in the range of 5x103 to lxlO7 g.mol"1. Xyloglucane of the invention can be a polysaccharide isolated from Tamarindus indica seeds. The linear chain of this slightly branched polysaccharide is created by β-D- -glucopyranosyle unit connected by (1 4) bond. One and disaccharide side chains are connected to this linear chain by (1 6) bond. The molecular weight of xyloglucane can be in the range of 5x103 to lxl 06 g.mol'1. Glucomannan of the invention is a polysaccharide isolated from cell weight of Candida utilis or from the medium for its cultivation. The main chain of this slightly branched polysaccharide is created by α-D-mannopyranosyle units connected by (1 6) bond. The short side mannooligosaccharide chains (1-5 units) are connected to the linear chain by (1 2)-α- -glycosidic bond, units are connected with each other by (1 2)-α-and occasionally by (1 3)-α- -glycosidic bond. Some side chains are finished by nonreducting α-D-glucopyranosyl unit connected by (1 2) bond. The molecular weight of the glucomannane can be in the range of 5xl03 to 2xl05 g.mol"1. The cosmetic preparation according to the invention is currently applicable as a preparation of decorative, sunbathing, baby and daily cosmetics for the treatment of the whole body, or for the treatment of the skin of the face, neck, low neck, hands and feet.
