Description

The present invention relates to the cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical (therapeutic) use of cyclohexyl carbamate compounds of formula (I) given below, in particular as agents which enable prolongation of the life span of a cell, preferably of a human skin cell and/or a human neuronal cell, by inhibition of cellular senescence, i.e. the compounds of formula (I) act as anti-ageing actives. The invention further relates to corresponding methods and to compositions and cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical preparations (compositions) comprising one or more compounds of formula (I) and one or more further anti-ageing actives. The invention further relates to compounds of formula (I) as a drug, their use for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition and to certain novel compounds of formula (I).


The mechanism of ageing is generally divided into two different parts. The first part is called intrinsic ageing caused by factors derived from within the body. The second part is classified as extrinsic ageing provoked by environmental factors. During the process of ageing several impairments can be observed, e.g. a decline in metabolic activity, a lower rate of cell division, a reduced DNA repair capacity, stiffening of vessel walls and an impaired peripheral blood circulation. All these aspects are closely linked to each other.


However, the ageing process advances gender specifically due to the different hormonal structure.


For skin ageing the following physiological changes can be observed, for example: in the epidermis the reduction of mitosis rate of basal cells results in a thinner epidermis; in addition, a high water loss due to diffusion, a reduced elasticity, a rougher external structure and wrinkle formation are generally observed.


The dermis is impaired by less fibroblasts with reduced activity; further, a reduced production of tropocollagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin are observed as well as loss of elasticity, reduced sebum production and reduced perspiration.


For the subcutis changes in the palisade structure of feminine skin can be observed. All actions in the epidermis, the dermis and subcutis are reflected in the appearance of the stratum corneum. The skin looks thinner, dry and rough like parchment. For these reasons, an anti-ageing product should ideally focus on all skin layers and their changes accordingly and should be used as early as possible.


One field of skin ageing relates to the so called destructive modifications. These modifications target intracellular and extracellular proteins resulting in the loss of their biological function. Examples for destructive modifications are AGE-modifications (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) and carbonylations. AGE-modifications are based on the reaction between sugars and amino acid residues leading to crosslinked proteins. This is known for extracellular proteins like collagen as well as intracellular proteins like vimentin. The crosslinking of collagen results in increased stiffening of the skin whereas the glycation of vimentin is accompanied by the loss of contractile capacity of fibroblasts.


One group of intrinsic factors consists of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). MMPs are enzymes which cleave structural proteins in biological tissue. One of these proteins is collagen, the major constituent of the extracellular matrix of the skin. Collagen builds fibres in the skin and is therefore important for skin structure and firmness. For example, MMP-1 cleaves collagen resulting in the degradation of collagen. An activation of the proteasome results therefore in less MMP-1 and less collagen degradation, see e.g. J. Biol. Chem, 284(44), 30076-30086.


In aged skin, the amount of MMPs is increased resulting in fragmented collagen and finally in wrinkle formation. A prominent example for extrinsic ageing is the induction of MMPs by UV light, also called photo-ageing. There are several strategies to prevent the fragmentation of collagen. MMP action and/or amount can be reduced by the application of respective inhibitors. Furthermore, the induction of the skin's own MMP inhibitors, TIMPs (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases), protects against collagen degradation. In concert with MMP inhibition, the stimulation of collagen synthesis provides a powerful tool for repair of damaged tissue. Finally, sun protection by UV filters is an effective strategy for protection against photo-ageing.


Another constituent of the extracellular matrix is hyaluronic acid which belongs to the family of glucosaminoglycans (GAGs, also: glycosaminoglycans). This substance is composed of repeated disaccharide units, namely D-glucuronic acid and D-N-acetylglucosamine, building a complex polymer of different sizes. GAGs are major constituents of the extracellular matrix and are known for their extremely high water binding capacity. Two types of GAGs are known, acidic GAGs like hyaluronic acid, which is mainly involved in the preservation of the tissue hydration, and neutral GAGs like Chondroitin sulphate, which are mainly involved in intracellular signaling, cell communication in the dermal-epidermal-junction (DEJ) and stabilization of DEJ.


The age-induced loss of hyaluronic acid is therefore accompanied by a tremendous loss of tissue volume leading to sagging skin. This process is enhanced by the age-dependent decline of other GAG's like dermatan sulphate. Hallmarks of aged skin are also found in the upper epidermis: aged skin is marked by weakened epidermal barrier permeability, leading to dry skin. The permeability barrier is located in the horny layer and consists of lipid bilayers surrounding the corneocytes.


Ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids are the main lipid constituents of the epidermal barrier significantly reduced in aged skin. Therefore, topical application of (pseudo-)ceramides, combined with free fatty acids and cholesterol helps to prevent and to repair dry skin.


Another reason for the dryness of aged skin is the reduced amount of the skin's own moisturizers (natural moisturizing factor, NMF).


A significant trigger for ageing is the development of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Two major sources are known for the formation of ROS. The first source is the extrinsic ageing factor UV-light which induces ROS formation like hydroxyl radicals, superoxides, peroxides and other reactive species which can virtually damage all kinds of macromolecules. Reactive oxygen damage the proteasome resulting in an impaired activity, see for example J. Biol. Chem, 284(44), 30076-30086.


The second intrinsic source for free radicals is the mitochondrial electron transport chain. The mitochondrium is the cellular power station generating ATP, which is the driving force for nearly every biological function in the cellular metabolism. Although the mitochondrial electron transport chain works with a high efficacy, the machinery is not perfect and misdirected electrons result in the production of toxic free radical superoxides and therewith in oxidative stress. The most potent cellular defense mechanism to scavenge free radicals is the glutathione system combined with enzymes that dissipate free radicals, namely catalase and superoxide dismutase. Even small doses of UV or other stress factors override these protective systems. This is the point where topical antioxidant application becomes important to prevent oxidative damage.


Another strategy to reduce the mitochondria-based oxidative stress is the theory of calorie restriction. There, reducing the input of calories may result in a lower activity of the metabolism and a decreased ROS production. A common diet-restriction regimen used in experimental animals is a 30% reduction in food intake resulting in a significantly prolonged healthy lifespan.


A class of enzymes called sirtuins (sirtuin proteins) was shown to be upregulated in mammals when set under calorie restriction and is thought to be an important player promoting longevity. In consequence, stimulation of sirtuins (SIRTs), namely of SIRT1, has recently become an important target for anti-ageing actives.


The sirtuins post-translationally modulate the function of many cellular proteins that undergo reversible acetylation-deacetylation cycles. These modifications affect physiological responses that have implications for ageing in humans. In mammals there are seven members of the sirtuin family, SIRT 1-7, of which SIRT1 is the best studied protein. The protein SIRT1 is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase catalyzing the reaction in which an acetyl group is removed from lysine side chains of proteins or peptides cleaving NAD+, which acts as a co-substrate. This results in the deacetylated protein 2″-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and nicotinamide.


The polyphenol Resveratrol was shown to increase the deacetylase activity of certain sirtuin proteins thereby extending lifespan of yeast by 70% and fish by 60%.


Some examples for the SIRT1 deacetylation substrates include PGC1α, FOXO, p53, and the p65 subunit of the nuclear factor-κB. These targets belong to the central regulators of the cellular metabolism, energy expenditure, inflammation and stress response. Overexpression of SIRT1 results therefore in the stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and metabolic rate as well as the modulation of insulin sensitivity.


Furthermore, in white adipose tissue, an increase in SIRT1 protein level or enzyme activity decreases adipogenesis and lipid stores. The anti-inflammatory effect of SIRT is based on the suppression of NF-κB activity or through cyclooxygenase 2 inhibition. Excessive activation of NF-κB was reported to be present in aged skin, linking inflammation to ageing. One result of NF-κB activation is the expression of destructive matrix metalloproteinases leading to fragmented collagen observed in skin of elderly people. An additional key factor for the anti-ageing properties of SIRT1 is the activation of the heat shock response. The heat shock factors (i.e. HSP70) are essential for protecting cells from protein-damaging stress associated with misfolded proteins. This chaperone activity regulates protein homeostasis. Recent studies were also able to link SIRT1 to ageing diseases of the heart as well while overexpression of SIRT 1 showed an attenuation of cardiac hypertrophy, apoptosis, fibrosis, cardiac dysfunction and expression of senescence marker. Furthermore it indirectly supports cardiac function by deacetylating the eNOS enzyme. SIRT1 was shown to increase upon calorie restriction in rodent and human tissue like white adipose, liver, skeletal muscle, brain and kidney. Additionally, small molecule activators of SIRT1 replicate signalling pathways triggered by calorie restriction in vivo. Cosmetic activators of SIRT1 provide therefore benefits as anti-ageing ingredient while acting as cell life prolongators and energy stimulators. Activators of SIRT1 will therefore be beneficial as anti-wrinkle agents and cellular protectors in general. Furthermore these activators prevent inflammation induced ageing (inflammageing) by reducing proinflammatory cytokines leading to an even skin tone and reduced pigment spots.


One of the most disturbing signs of ageing is the loss of even skin tone due to an irregular distribution of collagen, haemoglobin and the formation of age spots. The underlying mechanism of the development of age spots is still unclear, however the current opinion is that the dark spots are composed of accumulated melanin and lipofuscin. In addition, age spots appear as invaginations of the basal membrane and a striking increase in the number of dermal papillae combined with irregular arranged melanin clusters was observed. Furthermore, the formation of age spots goes along with the upregulation of genes described for inflammatory response. The oldest approach to lighten age spots is the topical application of substances that bleach melanin. An alternative strategy for the lightening of age spots is the inhibition of the enzyme tyrosinase which is essential for the synthesis of new melanin. Additionally, the prevention of melanocyte proliferation can be a useful strategy to reduce the amount of melanin produced.


The proteasome degrades damaged, misfolded, oxidized or unnecessary proteins. Seeing that, the proteasome is among other things involved in life span regulation of proteins, cell cycle control, gene expression, (oxidative) stress, immune response and carcinogenesis. Specifically, the proteasome is responsible for cell clearance of abnormal, denatured or in general damaged proteins as well as for the regulated degradation of short-lived proteins. Efficient protein degradation is one of the major factors that contribute to the retention of cellular homeostatic balance.


The 20S proteasome is a cylindric structure, with a molecular weight of 700 kDa, an approximately diameter of 12 nm and a length of 17 nm, which consists of 4 rings. The two outer rings are made of 7 different α-subunits. The other 2 rings build the middle structure of the 20S proteasome and consist of 7 diverse β-subunits. The outer α-rings control the access of 20S-proteasome substrates into the inner proteolytic chamber, which is made up by the two β-rings. This proteolytic activity could be divided into three different parts: 1. Peptidyl-glutamyl-peptide-hydrolysing activity (caspase like activity); 2. Trypsin like activity and 3. Chymotrypsin like activity.


Products of the proteasomal degradation are oligopeptides, generally with a length of 8-10 amino acids. In contrast to the 26S proteasome there is no need for polyubiquitination to degrade proteins by the 20S proteasome. Furthermore, degradation by the 20S proteasome is ATP-independent.


In response to the skin the proteasome has an important role in ageing/photo-ageing. The meaning of photo-ageing is skin ageing after (long term) chronic exposure to UVA and UVB light. Following UV energy absorption there are different changes in the skin, including production of free radicals, modified proteins and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE). These products affect the gene expression in skin cells and lead to an increase of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and a decrease of their inhibitors (TIMPs) which results in a reduction of collagen and therefore in wrinkle formation. A drastic decline in proteasome activity and a simultaneous accumulation of modified and ubiquitinated proteins after UV irradiation in human keratinocytes has been reported. Today it is proven that there is a decline of proteasome activity and expression in human keratinocytes and fibroblasts during ageing. It is evident that this down regulation of proteasome activity is a result of protein aggregation. In a circuit, shrinking of proteasome activity leads to new protein aggregates and non degraded polyubiquitinated proteins, which in turn affect the proteasome again. Based on these findings, skin ageing is linked to proteasome dysfunction and preservation of “normal” proteasome function allays skin ageing.


SDS and some fatty acids have been reported to stimulate proteasome activities in the test tube by favoring the open confirmation of the proteasome. Recently, isolated oleuropein, the most abundant of the phenolic compounds in Olea europaea leaf extract, olive oil and olives was shown to have stimulatory impact on proteasome activities. Furthermore, a phaeodactylum algae extract was reported to stimulate proteasome activity (WO 02/080876) as well as Palmitoyl Isoleucin.


Besides the stimulation of proteasome activity by stimulation of one or more of the enzymatic activities, the upregulation of the proteasomal proteins itself is a potent method to induce the proteasomal degradation. This is of special interest regarding the fact that not only proteasomal activity declines in elderly people but also the expression of proteasomal subunits. Overexpression of proteasomal subunits in primary human embryonic fibroblasts and the accompanied increased rate of lipolysis were shown to extend the lifespan of these cells by 15-20%.


Moreover, it was shown that restoration of the normal level of proteasome subunits in aged human fibroblasts reduces the level of ageing biomarkers. A decline of proteasome activities has been revealed in human primary cultures undergoing replicative senescence, whereas proteasome inhibition in young cells induces premature senescence.


Maintenance of cellular homeostasis influences the rate of ageing and is determined by several factors, including efficient proteolysis of damaged proteins. Protein degradation is predominantly catalyzed by the proteasome. Specifically, the proteasome is responsible for cell clearance of abnormal, denatured or in general damaged proteins as well as for the regulated degradation of short-lived proteins. As the proteasome has an impaired function during ageing, actives that restore its function are needed. Furthermore, UV irradiation impairs proteasomal function, thereby enhancing the cellular deposition of toxic proteins. Importantly, centenarians show a very high activity of the proteasome and are a good example of healthy ageing.


The activation of the proteasome is also linked to age-associated diseases, especially the neurodegenerative diseases in which misfolded proteins aggregate. Proteasome activators enhance the survival of Huntington's disease neuronal model cells and the development of Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease is partly based on an inefficient proteasomal clearance.


Skin-lightening active ingredients intervene in one form or another in melanin metabolism or catabolism. Melanin pigments, which are normally brown to black in colour, are formed in the melanocytes of the skin, transferred to the keratinocytes and give the skin or hair its colour. In mammals, the brown-black eumelanins are primarily formed from hydroxy-substituted aromatic amino acids such as L-tyrosine and L-DOPA, the yellow to red pheomelanins additionally from sulfur-containing molecules (Cosmetics & Toiletries 1996, 111 (5), 43-51).


Skin-lightening agents are used for various reasons: if for some reason the melanin-forming melanocytes in human skin are not evenly distributed, pigment spots occur which are either lighter or darker than the surrounding skin area. To overcome this problem, skin lightening agents are sold which at least partially help to balance out such pigment spots. In addition, many people have a need to lighten their naturally dark skin colour or to prevent skin pigmentation. This requires very safe and effective skin and hair lightening agents.


One area of application in this regard is the therapeutic treatment of melanin-induced pigmentation disorders such as hyperpigmentations (e.g. scar hyperpigmentations, post-traumatic drug-induced hyperpigmentations, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations induced by phototoxic reactions, ephelides).


Furthermore, UV-absorbing substances are also used to protect against the increase in skin pigmentation caused by UV light. UV absorbers do not bring about a true lightening of the skin but merely inhibit the increase in skin pigmentation caused by UV light.


U.S. Pat. No. 4,959,393 discloses 4-alkyl-resorcinols as skin lightening agents. WO 2004/105736 teaches certain diphenylmethane-derivatives as skin lightening agents.


Hydroquinone, hydroquinone derivatives such as e.g. arbutin, vitamin C, derivatives of ascorbic acid such as e.g. ascorbyl palmitate, kojic acid and derivatives of kojic acid such as e.g. kojic acid dipalmitate, are used in particular in commercial cosmetic or therapeutic skin lightening preparations.


The object of the present invention was to provide effective agents which enable prolongation of the life span of a cell, preferably of a human skin cell and/or a human neuronal cell, by inhibition of cellular senescence. Preferably, said agents should achieve said effect either via proteasomal clearance in a cell or via stimulation of proteasome activity and/or proteasome expression activation (Route (A)) or via stimulation of activity and/or expression of one or more sirtuin proteins (sirtuins) (Route (B)), in particular of SIRT1. More preferably, the agents should exhibit activity along both pathways, i.e. achieve the desired effect by exhibiting activity in Route (A) and in Route (B).


It has surprisingly been found that this object can be achieved by using compounds of formula (I) or a cosmetically acceptable salt of a compound of formula (I) or a mixture containing two or more of these compounds or the salts thereof

The (preferred) compounds of formula (I) derived from disubstituted cyclohexanols, in particular those explicitly listed above, were particularly active regarding the anti-ageing effects to be achieved in the context of the present invention.


The compounds of formula (I) inter alia include menthyl carbamates of formula (M-X)




embedded image


wherein R1 and R2 have the meaning given hereinbefore or hereinafter.


In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, compounds of formula (I) are menthyl carbamates of formula (M-X) wherein R1 and R2 mutually independently have the (preferred) meaning given hereinbefore or hereinafter.


For the sake of clarity, it is noted that menthyl-carbamates of formula (M-X) include all stereoisomeric forms thereof, i.e. the menthyl-, neomenthyl-, isomenthyl- and neoisomenthyl-carbamates, including their respective enantiomeric forms.


The menthyl carbamates of formula (M-X) are derived from 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol (p-menthan-3-ol) which has three asymmetric carbon atoms in its cyclohexane ring and occurs as four pairs of enantiomers.


These isomers can be illustrated by the following formulae, showing one enantiomer each of the four diastereomers.




embedded image


The enantiomers (IIa) to (IId) and their optical antipodes may, for example, be obtained by hydrogenation of thymol (e.g. WO 2004/018398 and the references cited therein) or via cyclization of citronellal to the corresponding isopulegol-isomers and subsequent hydrogenation. The menthol isomers can be separated via accurate distillation (for more details on manufacturing and separation of menthol isomers see “Common Fragrance and Flavor Materials”, 4th Edition, Wiley-VCH, Weinheim 2001, 52-55).


Structurally derived from the enantiomers (IIa) to (IId) and their optical antipodes are the following compounds of formula (I). Compounds (Ia) are derived from (−)-menthol (IIa), compounds (ent-Ia) are derived from (+)-menthol, compounds (Ib) are derived from (+)-neomenthol (IIb), compounds (ent-Ib) are derived from (−)-neomenthol and so forth.

The (preferred) compounds of formula (I) derived from trisubstituted cyclohexanols, in particular those explicitly listed above, were particularly active regarding the effects to be achieved in the context of the present invention.


The following compounds of formula (I) are particularly preferred since these were among the most active and effective compounds tested:


BIO1151, BIO1155, BIO1266, BIO1267, BIO1271, BIO1272, BIO1336, BIO1338, BIO1339, BIO1378, BIO1460, BIO1461, BIO1551, BIO1561, BIO1571, BIO1574, BIO1580, BIO1615, BIO1617, BIO1632, BIO1633, BIO1634, BIO1643, BIO1685, BIO1690, BIO1694, BIO1695, BIO1699, BIO1703, BIO1707, BIO1741, BIO1822, BIO1823, BIO1824, BIO1840, BIO1841, BIO1845, BIO1850, BIO1851 and BIO1860.


The compounds of formula (I) of the present invention may generally be obtained by procedures well-known in chemical synthesis. For example, reaction of




embedded image


wherein


A, R1 and R2 denote a (preferred) radical as defined hereinabove, preferably R1 denotes H, and Hal denotes a halide, preferably chloride or bromide.


In order to facilitate the dehydrohalogenation step and the formation of a compound of formula (I) it is preferred to carry out said reaction in the presence of a base, preferably a tertiary amine.


The preferred compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 denotes H may preferably be obtained by reacting a cyclohexanol of formula A-H with a corresponding isocyanate O═C═N—R2, as illustrated in the following reaction scheme:





A-H+O═C═N—R2→  (I)


wherein A and R2 denote a (preferred) radical as defined hereinabove. The reactions may be conducted in the absence or in the presence of an inert solvent.


The present invention also relates to a (preferably topical) cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition, comprising


(a) one, two or more (preferably of the preferred) compounds of formula (I) as defined herein and/or a cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, preferably in an amount having an anti-ageing effect (as defined herein),


and


(b) one or more further anti-ageing actives suitable for cosmetic or pharmaceutical application which are not compounds of formula (I), preferably in an amount having an anti-ageing effect (as defined herein),


and


(c) optionally one or more cosmetically or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.


Thus, in a (preferably topical) cosmetic or pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention the amount of the one, two or more (preferably of the preferred) compounds of formula (I) as defined herein (component (a), above) alone and/or the amount of the one or more further active anti-ageing actives (component (b), above) alone may not be sufficient to exhibit an anti-ageing effect. However, the total amount, i.e. the sum, of components (a) and (b) in a composition according to the present invention is sufficient to exhibit an anti-ageing effect, in particular to effect prolongation of the life span of a cell, preferably of a human skin cell and/or a human neuronal cell, by inhibition of cellular senescence.


As already indicated above, in preferred embodiments, the amount of the one, two or more (preferably of the preferred) compounds of formula (I) as defined herein (component (a), above) alone and/or the amount of the one or more further anti-ageing actives (component (b), above) alone in a composition according to the present invention are sufficient to exhibit an anti-ageing effect, in particular to effect prolongation of the life span of a cell, preferably of a human skin cell and/or a human neuronal cell, by inhibition of cellular senescence.


Preferred composition in accordance with the present invention are those wherein one, a plurality of or all the further anti-ageing actives of component (b) are selected from the following groups (b-1) to (b-8):


(b-1) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of antioxidants,


and/or


(b-2) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of substances which absorb or reflect UV radiation, preferably UV-filters (UV-absorbers) for cosmetic purposes, in particular for skin-protecting purposes,


and/or


(b-3) one or more skin moisturizing agents, preferably selected from the group consisting of alkane diols or alkane triols comprising 3 to 12 carbon atoms,


and/or


(b-4) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of further SIRT1 activators,


and/or


(b-5) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of further proteasome activators,


and/or


(b-6) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and substances stimulating the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans,


and/or


(b-7) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors,


and/or


(b-8) one or more agents selected from the group consisting of substances stimulating the formation of collagen, in particular in skin tissue.


For use in the conventional manner for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, the compounds of formula (I) are applied, preferably to human skin, in an adequate quantity.


Particular advantages are offered here by preparations, preferably cosmetic and dermatological preparations, which contain one or more compounds of formula (I) and additionally act as a sun protection means, thereby providing a preparation which protects the skin from ultraviolet radiation.


A cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably topical, preparation according to the invention containing a) one or more compounds of formula (I) and one or more anti-ageing actives selected from the above mentioned group of component (b) allows to achieve an overall higher, i.e. more pronounced, anti-ageing action. Said more pronounced anti-ageing action is, at least partly, based on synergistic effects.


A cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably topical, preparation according to the invention containing a) one or more compounds of formula (I) and one or more anti-ageing actives selected from the above mentioned group of component (b), in particular of component (b-1), (b-2), (b-6), (b-7) and/or (b-8), more preferably of component (b-1) and/or (b-2), have shown to exhibit particularly improved efficacy, in particular faster and/or stronger anti-ageing activity. In many cases a more than additive, often synergistic, anti-ageing activity was observed.


As mentioned above, reactive oxygen species damage the proteasome resulting in an impaired activity thereof.


The combination of one or more compounds of formula (I) and one or more antioxidants of component (b-1) is particularly beneficial because antioxidants additionally protect the proteasome from reactive oxygen species.


The combination of one or more compounds of formula (I) and one or more UV filters of component (b-2) is particularly beneficial because UV light is one major source for reactive oxygen species. Particular advantageous are cosmetic, dermatological and/or pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention which additionally include one or more UV filters (UV absorbers) and which thus act as compositions with one or more anti-ageing effects and additionally as a sunscreen, overall resulting in a higher, improved anti-ageing activity. Moreover, such a composition shows improved activity in achieving a more even skin tone and in reducing age spots.


Furthermore, compounds of formula (I) prevent photo-ageing and present a new concept of solar protection; particularly in synergy with UV-filters and/or antioxidants, preferably in combination with one or more UV-filters and one or more antioxidants, in particular through restoring of the proteasome after UV irradiation.


As already mentioned above, MMP-1 cleaves collagen, resulting in the degradation of collagen. The activation of the proteasome by one or more of the compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention results in a reduced level of MMP-1 and thus in less collagen degradation. Said anti-ageing effects are more pronounced when one or more matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors of component (b-7) are used, thereby overall resulting in a higher, improved anti-ageing activity.


A cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably topical, preparation according to the invention containing a) one or more compounds of formula (I) support the de novo synthesis of collagen, resulting in higher levels of collagen (in the skin tissue), thereby inhibiting wrinkle formation. Said anti-wrinkle effect is improved, i.e. more pronounced, when a composition according to the present invention in addition to one or more of the compounds of formula (I) comprises

    • one or more agents selected from the group consisting of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and substances stimulating the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans of component (b-6), in particular hyaluronic acid, and/or
    • one or more matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors of component (b-7), and/or
    • one or more collagen stimulating substances of component (b-8).


A composition (preparation), preferably a topical composition, according to the present invention preferably contains one or more compounds of formula (I) (including all stereoisomers, enantiomers, diastereomers, cis/trans-isomers and epimers, without taking into account possible counterions) in a total amount of 0.001-30% by weight, more preferably 0.01-20% by weight, even more preferably 0.01-5% by weight, particularly preferably 0.05-3% by weight and most preferably 0.1-2% by weight, in each case based on the total weight of the preparation (composition).


In the context of the present invention an effective amount of compounds, preferably of the preferred compounds, of formula (I) relates to a total amount of one, two or more compounds, preferably of the preferred compounds, of formula (I) having an anti-ageing effect on a human skin cell and/or a human neuronal cell.


The compounds of formula (I) can easily be incorporated in these concentrations in common cosmetic or dermatological formulations (preparations) such as pump sprays, aerosol sprays, creams, ointments, tinctures, lotions and the like.


The cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention can be produced by conventional processes known per se, such that one or more compounds of formula (I) are incorporated into (topical) cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical products which can have a conventional composition and which in addition to the effects mentioned hereinbefore or hereinafter can also be used for the treatment, care and cleansing of the skin or hair.


For use, topical cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention or for use according to the invention comprising formula (I) are generally applied to the skin in an adequate amount in the conventional manner for topical cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical products.


Preferred cosmetic or pharmaceutical, preferably topical, preparations according to the present invention comprise the further anti-ageing actives of component (b) according to groups (b-1) to (b-8) in the following respective amounts:

    • the total quantity of antioxidants of component (b-1) is in the range of from 0.001 to 10 wt. %, preferably in the range of from 0.01 to 5 wt. %, more preferably in the range of to from 0.05 to 3 wt. %,

Preferred skin lighteners as component (b) are kojic acid and phenylethyl resorcinol as tyrosinase inhibitors, beta- and alpha-arbutin, hydroquinone, nicotinamide, dioic acid, Mg ascorbyl phosphate and vitamin C and its derivatives, mulberry extract, Bengkoang extract, papaya extract, turmeric extract, nutgrass extract, licorice extract (containing glycyrrhizin), alpha-hydroxy-acids, 4-alkylresorcinols, 4-hydroxyanisole. These skin lighteners are preferred due to their very good activity, in particular in combination with one or more of the preferred or particularly preferred compounds of formula (I) according to the present invention.


Preparations according to the present invention including (a) one or more compounds of formula (I) and (b) one or more tyrosinase inhibitors have shown to exhibit particularly improved, in particular faster and/or stronger, activity, based on the modulation of two independent cellular mechanisms.


Preferred skin lightening actives to be combined with one or more compounds of formula (I) are tyrosinase inhibitors and are preferably selected from the group consisting of kojic acid and skin lightening resorcinol derivatives, preferably 4-alkylresorcinols, in particular 4-C3-C8-alkylresorcinols, and 4-(1-phenylethyl)1,3-dihydroxybenzene.


The total amount of the one or more skin lightening active ingredients suitable for cosmetic or pharmaceutical application which are not compounds of formula (I) is preferably in the range of from 0.01 to 30 wt. %, more preferably in the range of from 0.01 to 20 wt. %, particularly preferably in the range of from 0.01 to 5 wt. %, in each case based on the total weight of the preparation.


Cosmetic preparations preferred according to the invention can also contain anti-inflammatory and/or redness and/or itch ameliorating active ingredients. The compounds mentioned in WO 2005/123101 are advantageously used as anti-inflammatory or redness and/or itch ameliorating active ingredients.


The melanin production is often stimulated as a result of an inflammation, a process called postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Skin insults that result in inflammation/irritation can induce postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Among such insults are acne lesions, ingrown hairs, scratches, insect bites, and surfactant damage. One of the most common forms of postinflammatory hyperpigmentations is tanning following exposure to sunlight as a response to UV damage to skin. Although in the latter, there may not be visible erythema, histologically, such exposed skin has elevated inflammatory/irritant cell content, yielding a “subclinical” inflammatory/irritant process. Thus to prevent inflammation/irritation of the skin is beneficial regarding the inhibition of melanogenesis in the skin.


One further area of application of compounds of formula (I) and of preparations according to the present invention is the therapeutic treatment of melanin-induced pigmentation disorders such as hyperpigmentations (e.g. scar hyperpigmentations, post-traumatic drug-induced hyperpigmentations, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentations induced by phototoxic reactions, ephelides).


Reactive oxygen species, such as superoxide and nitric oxide, generated in damaged skin (e.g. resulting from UV exposure) or released as by-products from inflammatory cells are known stimulators of melanogenesis in melanocytes. In such a case it is important to maintain the cellular redox by the suppression of reactive oxygen species, and to boost anti-oxidative defenses for the prevention of melanogenesis.


Thus, preferred preparations, preferably cosmetic preparations, according to the invention containing one or more compounds of formula (I) preferably additionally contain

    • one or more agents selected from the group of antioxidants, and
    • one or more UV-absorbers, preferably selected from the preferred UV-filters of component (b-2), above, and
    • optionally one or more agents selected from the group of anti-irritants and anti-inflammatory substances, and
    • optionally one or more skin lightening agents.


The total amount of anti-irritants (one or more compounds) and anti-inflammatory substances (one or more compounds) in the preparations according to the invention is preferably 0.01 to 20 wt. %, particularly preferably 0.03 to 10 wt. %, in particular 0.05 to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the preparation.


Steroidal anti-inflammatory substances of the corticosteroid type, such as e.g. hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, dexamethasone phosphate, methyl prednisolone or cortisone, are advantageously used as anti-inflammatory active ingredients or active ingredients to relieve reddening and itching, the list of which can be extended by the addition of other steroidal anti-inflammatories. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can also be used. Examples which can be cited here are oxicams such as piroxicam or tenoxicam; salicylates such as aspirin, disalcid, solprin or fendosal; acetic acid derivatives such as diclofenac, fenclofenac, indomethacin, sulindac, tolmetin or clindanac; fenamates such as mefenamic, meclofenamic, flufenamic or nifiumic; propionic acid derivatives such as ibuprofen, naproxen, benoxaprofen or pyrazoles such as phenylbutazone, oxyphenylbutazone, febrazone or azapropazone. Anthranilic acid derivatives, in particular avenanthramides described in WO 2004/047833, are preferred anti-itch ingredients in a composition according to the present invention. Alternatively, natural anti-inflammatory substances or substances to relieve reddening and itching can be used. Plant extracts, special highly active plant extract fractions and highly pure active substances isolated from plant extracts can be used. Particularly preferred are extracts, fractions and active substances from camomile, aloe vera, commiphora species, rubia species, echinacea species, willow, willowherb, oats, black and green tea, gingko, coffee, pepper, blackcurrant, tomato, vanilla, almonds, as well as pure substances such as inter alia bisabolol, apigenin-7-glucoside, boswellic acid, phytosterols, glycyrrhizinic acid, glabridin or licochalcone A.

Cosmetic or pharmaceutical preparations containing one or more compounds of formula (I) may, in particular if crystalline or microcrystalline solid bodies such as, for example, inorganic micropigments are to be incorporated in the preparations, according to the invention also contain anionic, cationic, non-ionic and/or amphoteric surfactants mentioned in WO 2005/123101.


Anionic surfactants generally have carboxylate, sulfate or sulfonate groups as functional groups. In aqueous solution they form negatively charged organic ions in the acid or neutral environment. Cationic surfactants are almost exclusively characterised by the presence of a quaternary ammonium group. In aqueous solution they form positively charged organic ions in the acid or neutral environment. Amphoteric surfactants contain both anionic and cationic groups and therefore behave in aqueous solution in the same way as anionic or cationic surfactants, depending on the pH. They have a positive charge in a strongly acid environment and a negative charge in an alkaline environment. In the neutral pH range, by contrast, they are zwitterionic. Polyether chains are typical of non-ionic surfactants. Non-ionic surfactants do not form ions in the aqueous medium.


A. Anionic Surfactants

Anionic surfactants which can advantageously be used are acyl amino acids (and salts thereof), such as

    • acyl glutamates, for example sodium acyl glutamate, di-TEA-palmitoyl aspartate and sodium caprylic/capric glutamate,

sec-Butyl-carbamic acid 2,3-dimethyl-cyclohexyl ester (BIO1845)

50.7 g (0.5 mol) sec.-Butyl isocyanate were placed in a 500 ml vessel at room temperature and 64.1 g (0.5 mol) 2,3-Dimethylcyclohexanol were added. The reaction mixture was heated for 5 h to 150′C, cooled and subsequently 100 ml water were added. After refluxing for one hour the solution was cooled down, the phases separated and extracted once with MTBE (methyl tert.-butyl ether). The raw product was purified by distillation to yield 60.2 g product as a mixture of isomers with a purity of 99.6%.

EXAMPLE 1.3.1
p-Tolyl-carbamic acid 2-isopropyl-cyclohexyl ester (BIO1824)

75.6 g (0.56 mol) of para-tolylisocyanate were placed with 500 ml toluene in a one litre vessel and subsequently 73.4 g (0.51 mol) of 2-isopropylcyclohexanol were added. The reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 6 hours. After cooling to room temperature 50 g of water were added and the mixture was refluxed for one more hour. After phase separation the solvent was stripped off and the crude product recrystallized from 235 g of n-heptane. The product (79.8 g) was obtained in form of off-white crystals in 99.2% purity. This corresponds to a theoretical yield of 56%.

EXAMPLE 1.6.21
Diethyl-carbamic acid (1R,2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-cyclohexyl ester (BIO1553)

30 mmol of l-menthol were placed with 110 ml dichlormethane in a 250 ml vessel at room temperature and 3.08 g (39 mmol) of pyridine were added. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 3.56 g (12 mmol) of triphosgene in 15 ml dichlormethane were added dropwise. After five minutes 2.37 g (30 mmol) pyridine were added. Subsequently, 2.19 g (30 mmol) of diethylamine in 15 ml dichlormethane were added dropwise, the resulting mixture was allowed to come to ambient temperature and then quenched with water. After separation of the phases, the water phase was extracted once with dichlormethane and the combined organic phases were concentrated. The raw product was purified by distillation and column chromatography to yield 1.5 g of the desired product as a mixture of isomers with a purity of 99.4%.

EXAMPLE 2
SIRT1 Assay

NHDF cells (normal human dermal fibroblasts) were seeded in 96-well plates. After 24 h cultivation at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium), cells were treated with test substances for another 48 h. After washing the cells with PBS (phosphate buffered saline), the cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and permeabilized. Then they were washed again and blocked with BSA (bovine serum albumen), followed by incubation with secondary antibody. After extensive washing, the fluorescence is measured in a microplate reader and fluorescence images were recorded on a fluorescence microscope with an attached closed-circuit display camera.


The stimulation of SIRT1 expression was calculated by:

EXAMPLE 3.1
Measurement of Proteasome Activity Using Isolated Proteasome

The method used herein to investigate the proteasome stimulating activity of a substance is based on the measurement of the 20S proteasome core activity. To detect this activity, the isolated 20S proteasome reacts with an oligopeptide, which is bound to a fluorochrome. With its chymotrypsin-like proteolytic activity, the proteasome degrades the oligopeptide and liberates the fluorochrome. For this assay 4-methyl-coumaryl-amide (MCA) was used as fluorochrome. Liberation of MCA correlates linearly with the proteasome activity. MCA was detected using an excitation of 360 nm and an emission of 460 nm.


For interpretation, the measured proteasome activities/intensities of fluorescence were compared with pure MCA standards at distinct concentrations.


Two different controls were used for each assay. One “ordinary” control (C) which consisted of isolated proteasome alone, and a DMSO-control (DC). DC was necessary because all substances were diluted in DMSO. Proteasome activity was calculated relative to DMSO control (0 mM).

EXAMPLE 3.2
Measurement of Proteasome Activity Using Cell Lysates

To determine proteasome activity in cell lysate, human keratinocyte cell lines (HaCaT cells) were seeded out in Petri-dishes (area: 22.1 cm2) and harvested when they reached confluence. Isolation of the pure cell lysate included cell washing, incubation and homogenization in lysis buffer (250 mM sucrose, 25 mM HEPES (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid), 10 mM MgCl2*6H2O, 1.3 mM EDTA) and final cell lysis with liquid nitrogen. Determination of proteasome activity is based on the liberation of MCA and the corresponding fluorescence like described above in example 3.1. Proteasome activity was calculated relative to DMSO control (0 mM).
