Abstract
The present application relates to a method of protecting keratinocytes against the effects of air pollution caused by introduction of dust particles, fumes or smoke into the atmosphere such as in particular against the harmful effects of diesel and urban dust particular matter, said method including applying to the skin a cosmetic composition containing an effective amount of niacinamide.
Description
Novel method
The present application relates to a method of protecting keratinocytes against the effects of air pollution caused by introduction of dust particles, fumes or smoke into the atmosphere such as in particular against the harmful effects of diesel and urban dust particular matter, said method including applying to the skin a cosmetic composition containing an effective amount of niacinamide.
Certain urban environments are regularly subjected to peaks of air pollution, which occurs when gases, dust particles, fumes (or smoke) or odor are introduced into the atmosphere in a way that makes it harmful to humans, animals and plants. Air pollution can result from both human and natural actions. Natural events that pollute the air include forest fires, volcanic eruptions, wind erosion, pollen dispersal, evaporation of organic compounds and natural radioactivity. Pollution from natural occurrences is not very often. The majority of air pollution results from human activities, including: Emissions from industries and manufacturing activities and burning fossil fuels (such as e.g. emissions from automobile engines).
Particulate Matter (PM) is formed through chemical reactions, fuel combustion (e.g., burning coal, wood, diesel), industrial processes, farming (plowing, field burning), and unpaved roads or during road constructions.
An individual in his daily environment in an urban area may thus be subjected to a whole range of factors attacking the skin and thus also the skin cells such as in particular the keratinocytes, by various airborne pollutants such as in particular by particulate material, e.g. diesel and urban dust particles which negatively affect cell survival of keratinocytes.
Thus, there is an ongoing need for cosmetic compositions which protect the keratinocytes from the harmful effect of air pollution such as in particular diesel and urban particular matter.
Surprisingly, it has been found that niacinamide effectively protects keratinocytes against the adverse effects of pollutants found in the atmosphere such as in particular against diesel and urban dust particular matter.
l
Thus, one object of the present invention relates to a method of protecting keratinocytes against the adverse effects of air pollution caused by introduction of dust particles, fumes or smoke into the atmosphere, in particular against the harmful effect of diesel and urban dust particular matter, said method including applying to the skin a cosmetic composition containing an effective amount of niacinamide, and optionally observing and/ or appreciating the protective effect.
Another object of the invention is the use of niacinamide to prepare a cosmetic composition for the protection of keratinocytes against the harmful effects of air pollution caused by introduction of dust particles, fumes or smoke into the atmosphere, in particular against the harmful effect of diesel and urban dust particular matter.
A further object of the present invention relates to the cosmetic use of niacinamide for the protection of keratinocytes against the harmful effects of diesel and urban dust particular matter.
Niacinamide [CAS-Nr. 98-92-0] is one of the water-soluble B-complex vitamins which is e.g. available as Niacinamide PC or Niacinamide from DSM Nutritional Products AG, (4303 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland). Niacinamide is also referred to as nicotinamide or pyridine-3- carboxamide and is the amide of niacin (vitamin B3).
The term 'an effective amount' refers to an amount necessary to obtain the physiological effect. The physiological effect may be achieved by one application dose or by repeated applications. The dosage administered may, of course, vary depending upon known factors, such as the physiological characteristics of the particular cosmetic composition comprising the respective active and its mode and route of administration; the age, the nature and extent of the symptoms; the kind of concurrent treatment; the frequency of treatment; and the effect desired and can be adjusted by a person skilled in the art.
The term 'protecting against the harmful effects' refers to an increased viability of the keratinocytes compared to keratinocytes which are not treated with niacinamide. In a particular preferred embodiment the viability of the keratinocytes is increased by at least 3 %, more preferably by at least 5%, when compared to non-treated keratinocytes.
Thus, in another embodiment, the present invention refers to a method according to the present invention wherein the viability of the keratinocytes is increased by at least 3%, preferably by at least 5%, when compared to non-treated keratinocytes.
Advantageously, the amount of niacinamide in the cosmetic compositions is selected in the range of 0.01 to 10 wt. %, more preferably in the range of 0.1 to 10 wt. %, most preferably in the range of 0.5 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
Preferably, the amount of the cosmetic composition to be applied to the skin is selected in the range of 0.1 to 3 mg/ cm2 skin, such as preferably in the range of 0.1 to 2 mg/ cm2 skin and most preferably in the range of 0.5 to 2 mg / cm2 skin.
The term 'cosmetic composition' as used herein refers to compositions, which are used to treat, care for or improve the appearance of the skin and/or the scalp. Particular advantageous cosmetic compositions are skin care preparations.
The compositions according to the invention are intended for topical application, which is to be understood as the external application to keratinous substances, such as in particular the skin.
As the cosmetic compositions according to the invention are intended for topical application, they comprise a physiologically acceptable medium, that is to say a medium compatible with keratinous substances, such as in particular the skin. In particular the physiologically acceptable medium is a cosmetically, respectably pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The term 'cosmetically acceptable carrier' respectively 'pharmaceutically acceptable carrier' as used herein refers to a physiologically acceptable medium which is compatible with keratinous substances. Suitable carriers are well known in the art and are selected based on the end-use application. Preferably, the carriers of the present invention are suitable for application to skin (e.g., sunscreens, creams, milks, lotions, masks, serums, hydrodispersions, foundations, creams, creamgels, or gels etc.). Such carriers are well-known to one of ordinary skill in the art, and can include one or more compatible liquid or solid filler diluent, excipient, additive or vehicle which are suitable for application to skin. The exact amount of carrier will depend upon the level of the niacinamide and any other optional ingredients that one of ordinary skill in the art would classify as distinct from the carrier (e.g., other active components). The compositions of the present
invention preferably comprise from about 75% to about 99.999%, more preferably from about 85% to about 99.99%, still more preferably from 90% to about 99%, and most preferably, from about 93% to about 98%, by weight of the composition, of a carrier.
The cosmetic compositions of the present invention can be formulated into a wide variety of product types, including creams, waxes, pastes, lotions, milks, mousses, gels, oils, tonics, and sprays. Preferably niacinamide is formulated into lotions, creams, gels, and tonics. These product forms may be used for a number of applications, including, but not limited to, hand and body lotions, facial moisturizers, anti-ageing preparations, make-ups including foundations, and the like. Any additional components required to formulate such products vary with product type and can be routinely chosen by one skilled in the art.
If compositions of the present invention are formulated as an aerosol and applied to the skin as a spray-on product, a propellant is added to the composition.
The cosmetic compositions according to the present invention can be prepared by conventional methods in the art such as e.g. by admixing niacinamide with the cosmetically acceptable carrier.
The cosmetic compositions of the invention (including the carrier) may comprise further conventional adjuvants and additives, such as preservatives/antioxidants, fatty substances/oils, water, organic solvents, silicones, thickeners, softeners, emulsifiers, antifoaming agents, aesthetic components such as fragrances, surfactants, fillers, anionic, cationic, nonionic or amphoteric polymers or mixtures thereof, propellants, acidifying or basifying agents, dyes, colorings/colorants, abrasives, absorbents, chelating agents and/ or sequestering agents, essential oils, skin sensates, astringents, pigments or any other ingredients usually formulated into such cosmetic compositions.
In accordance with the present invention, the cosmetic compositions according to the invention may also comprise further cosmetically active ingredients conventionally used in cosmetic and/ or pharmaceutical compositions. Exemplary active ingredients encompass skin lightening agents; UV-filters, agents for the treatment of hyperpigmentation; agents for the prevention or reduction of inflammation; firming, moisturizing, soothing, and/ or energizing agents as well as agents to improve elasticity and skin barrier.
Examples of cosmetic excipients, diluents, adjuvants, additives as well as active ingredients commonly used in the skin care industry which are suitable for use in the cosmetic compositions of the present invention are for example described in the International Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary & Handbook by Personal Care Product Council (http://www.personalcarecouncil.org/), accessible by the online INFO BASE (http://online.personalcarecouncil.org/jsp/Home.jsp), without being limited thereto.
The necessary amounts of further active ingredients as well as the excipients, diluents, adjuvants, additives etc. can, based on the desired product form and application, easily be determined by the skilled person. The additional ingredients can either be added to the oily phase, the aqueous phase or separately as deemed appropriate.
The further cosmetically active ingredients useful herein can in some instances provide more than one benefit or operate via more than one mode of action.
Of course, one skilled in this art will take care to select the above mentioned optional additional ingredients, adjuvants, diluents and additives and/or their amounts such that the advantageous properties intrinsically associated with the combination in accordance with the invention are not, or not substantially, detrimentally affected by the envisaged addition or additions.
The cosmetic compositions according to the present invention may be in the form of a suspension or dispersion in solvents or fatty substances, or alternatively in the form of an emulsion or micro emulsion (in particular of oil-in-water (0/W) or water-in-oil (W/0) type, silicone-in-water (Si/W) or water-in-silicone (W/Si) type, PIT-emulsion, multiple emulsion (e.g. oil-in-water-in oil (0/W/O) or water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) type), pickering emulsion, hydrogel, alcoholic gel, lipogel, one- or multiphase solution or vesicular dispersion or other usual forms, which can also be applied by pens, as masks or as sprays.
If the cosmetic composition is an emulsion, such as in particular an 0/W, W/0, Si/W, W/Si, 0/W/O, W/O/W multiple or a pickering emulsion, then the amount of the oily phase present in such cosmetic emulsions is preferably at least 10 wt.-%, such as in the range of 10 to 60 wt.-%, preferably in the range of 15 to 50 wt.-%, most preferably in the range of 15 to 40 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
In one embodiment, the cosmetic compositions according to the present invention are advantageously in the form of an oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of an O/W emulsifier. The preparation of such O/W emulsions is well known to a person skilled in the art.
If the cosmetic composition according to the invention is an O/W emulsion, then it contains advantageously at least one O/W- or Si/W-emulsifier selected from the list of, glyceryl stearate citrate, glyceryl stearate SE (self-emulsifying), stearic acid, salts of stearic acid, polyglyceryl-3- methylglycosedistearate. Further suitable emulsifiers are phosphate esters and the salts thereof such as cetyl phosphate (e.g. as Amphisol® A from DSM Nutritional Products Ltd.), diethanolamine cetyl phosphate (e.g. as Amphisol® DEA from DSM Nutritional Products Ltd.), potassium cetyl phosphate (e.g. as Amphisol® K from DSM Nutritional Products Ltd.), sodium cetearylsulfate, sodium glyceryl oleate phosphate, hydrogenated vegetable glycerides phosphate and mixtures thereof. Further suitable emulsifiers are sorbitan oleate, sorbitan sesquioleate, sorbitan isostearate, sorbitan trioleate, cetearyl glucoside, lauryl glucoside, decyl glucoside, sodium stearoyl glutamate, sucrose polystearate and hydrated polyisobutene. Furthermore, one or more synthetic polymers may be used as an emulsifier. For example, PVP eicosene copolymer, acrylates/C 10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, and mixtures thereof.
The at least one O/W, respectively Si/W emulsifier is preferably used in an amount of 0.5 to 10 wt. %, in particular in the range of 0.5 to 6 wt.-%, such as more in particular in the range of 0.5 to 5 wt.-%, such as most in particular in the range of 1 to 4 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
Particular suitable O/W emulsifiers to be used in the cosmetic compositions according to the invention encompass phosphate ester emulsifiers such as advantageously 8-10 alkyl ethyl phosphate, C9-15 alkyl phosphate, ceteareth-2 phosphate, ceteareth-5 phosphate, ceteth-8 phosphate, ceteth-10 phosphate, cetyl phosphate, C6-10 pareth-4 phosphate, C12-15 pareth-2 phosphate, C12-15 pareth-3 phosphate, DEA-ceteareth-2 phosphate, DEA-cetyl phosphate, DEA-oleth-3 phosphate, potassium cetyl phosphate, deceth-4 phosphate, deceth-6 phosphate and trilaureth-4 phosphate.
A particular suitable 0/W emulsifier to be used in the cosmetic compositions according to the invention is potassium cetyl phosphate e.g. commercially available as Amphisol® K at DSM Nutritional Products Ltd Kaiseraugst.
Another particular suitable class of O/W emulsifiers are non-ionic self-emulsifying systems derived from olive oil e.g. known as (INCI Name) cetearyl olivate and sorbitan olivate (chemical composition: sorbitan ester and cetearyl ester of olive oil fatty acids) sold under the tradename OLIVEM 1000.
In one particular embodiment, the invention relates to cosmetic compositions with all the definitions and preferences given herein in the form of 0/W emulsions comprising an oily phase dispersed in an aqueous phase in the presence of an 0/W emulsifier wherein the 0/W emulsifier is potassium cetyl phosphate. The amount of oily phase in such 0/W emulsions is preferably at least 10 wt.-%, more preferably in the range of 10 to 60 wt.-%, most preferably in the range of 15 to 50 wt.-%, such as in the range of 15 to 40 wt.-%.
The cosmetic compositions according to the invention in general have a pH in the range of 3 to 10, preferably a pH in the range of 4 to 8 and most preferably a pH in the range of 4 to 7.5. The pH can easily be adjusted as desired with suitable acids, such as e.g. citric acid, or bases, such as sodium hydroxide (e.g. as aqueous solution), triethanolamine (TEA Care), Tromethamine (Trizma Base) and Aminomethyl Propanol (AMP-Ultra PC 2000), according to standard methods in the art.
The following examples are provided to further illustrate the effects of the present invention. These examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Description of Particulate Matter Assays I
As authentic surrogates for urban air pollution we used Standard Reference Material ® (SRM) 1648a ("Urban Particulate Matter) and 1650b ("Diesel Particulate Matter") of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Gaithersburg, MD, USA). The particulate matters SRM1648a and SRM1650b were resuspended in Dimethylsulfoxid (DMSO), sonicated and then added to the cell culture at a concentration of 0.3 mg/ml and 0.1 mg/ml, respectively. We used primary human epidermal keratinocytes (CellNTec Ltd., Bern, Switzerland) that were cultured in serum-free
keratinocyte growth medium CnT-PR at 37°C in a humidified 5% CC air atmosphere. Cells were subcultured before reaching confluence. For the evaluation of cell density in culture we used the CyQUANT® Cell Proliferation Assay Kit from Molecular Probes Inc. (Eugene, OR, USA). It is based on a proprietary green fluorescent dye which exhibits strong fluorescence enhancement when bound to cellular nucleic acids. Briefly, cells were seeded into 96 well plates, cultured for 24 h and then pre-incubated with the respective niacinamide solution for 24 h before being exposed to pollution stress for 48 h. Afterwards, cell density was assed using CyQUANT® reagents according to the manufacturer's instruction. All assays were done in triplicate. The results are presented in the table below as cellular viability in percentage (%) versus control, i.e. medium only, which value was set to 100%. The results illustrate that niacinamide effectively counteracts the negative effect of the urban particulate matter.

Description of Particulate Matter Assays II
As authentic surrogates for urban air pollution we used Standard Reference Material ® (SRM) 1649b ("Urban Particulate Matter) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (Gaithersburg, MD, USA). The particulate matter SRM1649b was resuspended in Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), vigorously shaken by vortex and then stirred for 1 hour. After centrifugation the supernatant was added to cell culture (0.3 mg/ml final), which contained Niacinamide in the concentration as outlined in the table below. We used primary human epidermal keratinocytes (CellNTec Ltd., Bern, Switzerland) that were cultured in serum-free keratinocyte growth medium CnT-PR at 37°C in a humidified 5% C02-air atmosphere. Cells were subcultured before reaching confluence. For the evaluation of viable cells in culture we used the PrestoBlue Cell Viability Reagent from Thermo Fisher Scientific. PrestoBlue is a resazurin -based
solution that turns red and highly fluorescent by the reducing power of living cells. All assays were done in triplicate. The results are presented in the table below as cellular viability in percentage (%) versus control, i.e. medium only, which value was set to 100%. The results illustrate that niacinamide effectively counteracts the negative effect of the urban particulate matter.
