This invention relates to bicyclic fused 5-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds with two or three heteroatoms, compositions for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers (preferably hair) comprising such compounds, and use thereof.
The most extensively used method currently employed to color hair is by an oxidative process that utilizes one or more oxidative hair coloring agents in combination with one or more oxidizing agents.
Commonly, a peroxy oxidizing agent is used in combination with one or more developers or couplers, generally small molecules capable of diffusing into hair. In this procedure, a peroxide material, such as hydrogen peroxide, activates the developers so that they react with the couplers to form larger sized compounds in the hair shaft to give a variety of shades and colors.
A wide variety of developers and couplers have been employed in such oxidative hair coloring systems and compositions. However, there still exists a need for additional keratin dyeing compounds that can act as both developers and couplers that safely provide color benefits.
This invention relates to bicyclic fused 5-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds with two or three heteroatoms according to the formulas defined herein. This invention also relates to a composition for the oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising a medium suitable for dyeing and one or more bicyclic fused 5-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds with two or three heteroatoms. This invention further relates to a method for oxidative dyeing of keratin fibers, comprising applying such compositions in the presence of an oxidizing agent, for a period sufficient to develop the desired coloration. The keratin dyeing compounds of the present invention can act as both a developer and a coupler.
It is to be understood that within the scope of this invention, numerous potentially and actually tautomeric compounds are involved. Thus, for example, 2-mercaptopyridine (I) exists under known conditions in the pyridine-2-thione tautomer form (II). It is to be understood that when this development refers to a particular structure, all of the reasonable additional tautomeric structures are included. In the art, tautomeric structures are frequently represented by one single structure and the present invention follows this general practice.
While the specification concludes with claims that particularly point out and distinctly claim the invention, it is believed the present invention will be better understood from the following description.
The present invention relates to bicyclic fused 5-5 heteroaromatic keratin dyeing compounds with two or three heteroatoms. The compounds of the present invention can act as both developers and/or couplers that safely provide color benefits.
Herein, “comprising” means that other steps and other ingredients which do not affect the end result can be added. This term encompasses the terms “consisting of” and “consisting essentially of”. The compounds/compositions and methods/processes of the present invention can comprise, consist of, and consist essentially of the essential elements and limitations of the invention described herein, as well as any of the additional or optional ingredients, components, steps, or limitations described herein.
All percentages, parts and ratios are based upon the total weight of the compositions of the present invention, unless otherwise specified. All such weights as they pertain to listed ingredients are based on the active level and, therefore do not include solvents or by-products that may be included in commercially available materials, unless otherwise specified. The term “weight percent” may be denoted as “wt. %” herein.
Except as otherwise noted, all amounts including part, percentages, and proportions are understood to be modified by the word “about”, and amounts are not intended to indicate significant digits. Except as otherwise noted, the articles “a”, “an”, and “the” mean “one or more”.
As used herein, the term “keratin” refers to a scleroprotein found in epidermal tissues and modified into hard structures such as horns, hair, and nails. Thus, “keratinous fibers” refers to those found in hair, skin and nails and various animal body parts such as horns, hooves and feathers.
As used herein, the term “hair” refers to keratinous fibers on a living, e.g. a person, or non-living body, e.g. in a wig, hairpiece, or other aggregation of non-living keratinous fibers. Mammalian, preferably human, hair is a preferred. Notably, hair, wool, fur, and other keratinous fibers are suitable substrates for coloring by the compounds and compositions described herein.
As used herein, the term “keratin dyeing compounds” refers to compounds that may be used in the composition to act as developers, couplers, or both, in order to provide color to ketatinous fibers.
As used herein, the term “keratin dyeing composition” refers to the composition containing one or more keratin dyeing compounds, including the compounds described herein.
As used herein, “cosmetically acceptable” means that ingredients which the term describes are suitable for use in contact with the skin or hair of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, incompatibility, instability, irritation, allergic response, and the like.

Preferably, the radical scavenger is present at an amount such that the ratio of radical scavenger to carbonate ion is from 1:1 to 1:4. The radical scavenger is preferably selected such that it is not an identical species as the alkalizing agent.
Suitable sources for the ions include but are not limited to: sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, guanidine carbonate, guanidine hydrogen carbonate, lithium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, barium carbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium hydrogen carbonate and mixtures thereof. Preferred sources of carbonate ions are sodium hydrogen carbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate. Also preferred are ammonium carbonate, and ammonium hydrogen carbonate.
The radical scavenger is a species that can react with a carbonate radical to convert the carbonate radical by a series of fast reactions to a less reactive species. Preferably, when the radical scavenger comprises an N atom, it has a pKa>7 to prevent the protonation of the nitrogen. Preferred radical scavengers may be selected from the classes of alkanolamines, amino sugars, amino acids and mixtures thereof, and may include, but are not limited to: monoethanolamine, 3-amino-1-propanol, 4-amino-1-butanol, 5-amino-1-pentanol, 1-amino-2-propanol, 1-amino-2-butanol, 1-amino-2-pentanol, 1-amino-3-pentanol, 1-amino-4-pentanol, 3-amino-2-methylpropan-1-ol, 1-amino-2-methylpropan-2-ol, 3-aminopropane-1,2-diol, glucosamine, N-acetylglucosamine, glycine, arginine, lysine, proline, glutamine, histidine, serine, tryptophan and potassium, sodium and ammonium salts of the above and mixtures thereof. Other preferred radical scavenger compounds include benzylamine, glutamic acid, imidazole, di-tert-butylhydroxytoluene, hydroquinone, catechol and mixtures thereof.
III. Methods of Manufacture
The compounds of this invention may be obtained using conventional methods. A general description of how to make the compounds is provided above and specific examples are provided below. The compositions of this invention may also be obtained using conventional methods. The keratin dyeing compositions may be formed as solutions, preferably as aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solutions. The hair dye product compositions may preferably be formed as thick liquids, creams, gels, or emulsions whose composition is a mixture of the dye compound and other dye ingredients with conventional cosmetic additive ingredients suitable for the particular preparation.
IV. Methods of Use
The inventive keratin dyeing compositions may be used by admixing them with a suitable oxidant, which reacts with the oxidative dye precursors to develop the hair dye product composition. The oxidant is usually provided in an aqueous composition, which normally is provided as a separate component of the finished keratin dyeing product system and present in a separate container. Upon mixing the keratin dyeing composition, the adjuvants are provided in the hair dye composition as it is applied to the hair to achieve desired product attributes, e.g., pH, viscosity, rheology, etc.
The keratin dyeing composition, as it is applied to the hair, can be weakly acidic, neutral or alkaline according to their composition, typically having a pH from 6 to 11, preferably from 7 to 10, more preferably from 8 to 10. The pH of the developer composition is typically acidic, and generally the pH is from 2.5 to 6.5, preferably from 3 to 5. The pH of the hair compositions may be adjusted using a pH modifier as mentioned above.
In order to use the keratin dyeing composition, the above-described compositions are mixed immediately prior to use and a sufficient amount of the mixture is applied to the hair, according to the hair abundance, generally from 60 to 200 grams. Upon such preparation the hair dye composition is applied to the hair to be dyed and remains in contact with the hair for an amount of time effective to dye the hair. Typically, the hair dye composition is allowed to act on the hair for 2 to 60, preferably 15 to 45, more preferably, 30 minutes, at a temperature ranging from 15° to 50° C. Thereafter, the hair is rinsed with water, to remove the hair dye composition and dried. If necessary, the hair is washed with a shampoo and rinsed, e.g., with water or a weakly acidic solution, such as a citric acid or tartaric acid solution, and dried. Optionally, a separate conditioning product may also be provided.
Together, components of the keratin dyeing composition form a system for dyeing hair. This system may be provided as a kit comprising in a single package separate containers of the keratin dyeing composition components or other hair treatment product, and instructions for use.
The following are non-limiting examples of the compositions of the present invention. The examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention, as many variations thereof are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, which would be recognized by one of ordinary skill in the art. In the examples, all concentrations are listed as weight percent, unless otherwise specified.
The following compositions can be used for dyeing hair. Mix the dyeing composition with an equal weight of a 20-volume hydrogen peroxide solution (6% by weight). Apply the resulting mixture to the hair and permit it to remain in contact with the hair for 30 minutes. Shampoo dyed hair and rinse with water and dry.
While particular embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it would be obvious to those skilled in the art that various other changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. It is therefore intended to cover in the appended claims all such changes and modifications that are within the scope of this invention.
All documents cited in the Background, Summary of the Invention, and Detailed Description of the Invention are, in relevant part, incorporated herein by reference; the citation of any document is not to be construed as an admission that it is prior art with respect to the present invention.
