Description

The present invention relates to liposomogenic UV absorbers, the preparation of these compounds, and their use as sunscreen agents in cosmetic preparations.
It is known that UV rays having a wavelength of 285 to 400 nm can cause or accelerate, in man, skin damage of many different kinds, such as erythemas, accelerated skin ageing, phototoxic and photoallergic reactions etc. For the topical protection of the human skin, chemical compounds in the form of cosmetic preparations are therefore recommended, which are able to prevent the said harmful actions of the UV radiation.
It is furthermore known that the chemical UV absorbers provided in the cosmetic preparations for UV protection themselves only adhere inadequately to or in the skin. It was therefore attempted to eliminate this deficiency by the development of suitable formulations, such as emulsions, gels or oils. Such formulations should permit a longer residence of the UV protective substances on, or in, the outer skin layer. A further, improved possibility of permitting a high penetration of UV absorbers into the stratum corneum and simultaneously a longer residence time of these compounds there consists in applying the corresponding UV absorbers to the skin in liposomal packaging. Such processes are disclosed, for example in WO-92.05761 and WO-93.02659.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that compounds which contain a UV chromophore having an absorption in the range from 285 to 400 nm and specific chemical structural elements which make these compounds capable of self-organization in bimolecular layers, penetrate into the stratum corneum to a high extent and behave there in an extremely wash-resistant manner.
The present invention therefore relates to liposomogenic UV absorbers which comprise a hydrophilic head group (.dbd.Z), a spacer (.dbd.W), a UV chromophore (Q) having an absorption in the range from 285 to 400 nm and at least one hydrophobic tail group (.dbd.A) of the formula ##STR2## in which A.sub.1 and A.sub.2, independently of one another, are a hydrophobic radical,
Q is a UV chromophore,
W is an organic radical,
Z.sub.1 and Z.sub.2, independently of one another, are a hydrophilic radical,
n.sub.1 and n.sub.2, independently of one another, are a number from 0 to 4, n.sub.1 =n.sub.2 =0 not being additionally included,
p is 1 or2,
q is a number from 0 to 3,
r.sub.1 is 1 or 2,
r.sub.2 is 0 or 1, and
s.sub.1 is a number from 1 to 3.
The compounds according to the invention are synthetic amphiphilic compounds which are able to organize themselves, i.e. in water they spontaneously form a two-dimensional bilayer.
The hydrophobic radicals A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 are an alkyl, alkoxy, acyl or alkylamino radical, the chains having at least 8 carbon atoms. As alkoxy radicals, A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 are advantageously the radical of an unsaturated or, preferably, saturated aliphatic monoalcohol having 8 to 22 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon radical can be branched or preferably straight-chain. A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 preferably are an alkyl or alkenyl radical having 10 to 14 carbon atoms.
Suitable aliphatic saturated monoalcohols can be natural alcohols, such as lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol or stearyl alcohol, and also synthetic alcohols, such as decyl alcohol, C.sub.10 -C.sub.13 oxoalcohol, tridecyl alcohol, isotridecyl alcohol or linear primary alcohols (Alfols) having 10 to 22 carbon atoms. Some representatives of these Alfols are Alfol (10-14), Alfol (12-13) or Alfol (16-18). ("Alfol" is a registered trademark).
Unsaturated aliphatic monoalcohols are, for example, dodecenyl alcohol, hexadecenyl alcohol or oleyl alcohol.
The alcohol radicals can be present individually or in the form of mixtures, such as mixtures of alkyl and/or alkenyl groups which are derived from soya fatty acids, palm kernel fatty acids or tallow oils, of two or more components, preferably individually.
If the radicals A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 are an alkylamino radical, this is derived from primary or preferably secondary C.sub.12 -C.sub.22 fatty amines. These amines can be obtained from the corresponding fatty acids by dehydration and subsequent dehydrogenation. Preferably, A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 as an alkylamino radical are the di-C.sub.12 -C.sub.18 alkylamino radical.
A suitable acyl radical is preferably C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkylcarbonyl; for example octyl-, decyl-, dodecyl-, tridecyl-, hexadecyl- or octadecylcarbonyl.
Preferably, suitable liposomogenic UV absorbers are compounds of the formula (1) in which n.sub.1 and n.sub.2 are 1 or 2, preferably 2, and the radicals A.sub.1 and A.sub.2 have the same meaning.

As a rule, they are prepared by a systematic sequence of reaction steps known per se, such as condensation, alkylation, esterification, hydrolysis etc. Details for carrying out the reactions can be taken from monographs for organic synthesis, such as J. March, Advanced Organic Chemistry, 2nd Edition, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1977.
The introduction of the hydrophobic radicals A can be carried out in very different ways, for example by etherification of the phenolic OH group of the UV chromophore (cf. Examples 1, 2, 5 and 7) or by reaction of an acid chloride with a long-chain dialkylamine (cf. Example 4). A multiplicity of reactions are likewise suitable for the introduction of the hydrophilic head groups Z, such as can be seen from Examples 1 and 2 (quaternization). With a suitable reaction procedure, A and Z, however, can also be introduced simultaneously, i.e. in one reaction step. This is achieved, for example, by opening a suitable acid anhydride using a fatty alcohol (Example 6).

As a water-in-oil or oil-in-water emulsion, the cosmetically tolerable auxiliary preferably contains 5 to 50% of an oil phase, 5 to 20% of an emulsifier and 30 to 90% of water. The oil phase can in this case contain any oil suitable for cosmetic formulations, such as one or more hydrocarbon oils, a wax, a natural oil, a silicone oil, a fatty acid ester or a fatty alcohol. Preferred mono- or polyols are ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, hexylene glycol, glycerol and sorbitol.
Any emulsifier which can be employed conventionally can be used for the cosmetic formulations according to the invention, for example one or more ethoxylated esters of natural derivatives, such as polyethoxylated esters of hydrogenated castor oil, or a silicone oil emulsifier such as silicone polyol, a free or ethoxylated fatty acid soap, an ethoxylated fatty alcohol, a free or ethoxylated sorbitan ester, an ethoxylated fatty acid or an ethoxylated glyceride.
The cosmetic formulation can also contain further components such as emollients, emulsion stabilizers, skin moisture retainers, skin tanning accelerators, thickening agents such as xanthan, moisture retention agents such as glycerol, preservatives or fragrances and colorants.
The cosmetic formulations according to the invention are distinguished by excellent protection of the human skin against the harmful effect of sunlight with, at the same time, safer tanning of the skin. Moreover, the cosmetic preparations according to the invention are extremely wash-resistant when applied to the skin.

USE EXAMPLES
Example 10
a. Preparation of Liposomes
1-5 g of the compound of the formula (101a) (preparation cf. Example 1) are dissolved in 100 ml of N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP). This solution is then added dropwise to 900 ml of 0.9% aqueous NaCl solution or injected using a syringe, liposomes being formed. The volume of the resulting liposome suspension is concentrated to 50-100 ml with the aid of a diafiltration apparatus (Ultrasette, Skan AG, Basle) so that the liposomes are correspondingly concentrated to 1-10%. The solvent is then likewise exchanged with the aid of the diafiltration apparatus by further filtering and replacing the volume of the removed filtrate simultaneously by pure 0.9% NaCl solution. For solvent exchange, based on the concentrated liposome suspension, at least five times the volume of pure 0.9% NaCl solution is used. With an initial NMP content of 10%, at most 0.07% of NMP then still remains in the suspension. The residual content of NMP can be reduced as desired by increasing the volume of the 0.9% NaCl solution used for the exchange.
Alternatively, liposomes are prepared by first dissolving 1-5 g of the compound of the formula (101a) again in 100 ml of solvent (NMP, ethanol or diethyl ether). The solution is then added to a round-bottomed flask and heated, and the solvent is stripped off in vacuo using a rotary evaporator. 50-100 ml of 0.9% NaCl solution are then added to the resulting film on the inner wall of the flask and it is then shaken. The liposomes formed in this way are then sonicated for 10-60 minutes with the aid of an ultrasonic rod (Branson Model 250 Sonifier, Skan AG, Basle), which leads to the reduction in size of the liposomes.
b. Determination of the Diameter of the Liposomes
The diameter of the liposomes is determined with the aid of photon correlation spectroscopy (ALV/Monomode Fibre Compact Goniometer System, ALV-Laser GmbH, Langen). To do this, the liposome suspension is diluted to 0.02% to 0.1% and the autocorrelation function of the scattered light fluctuations is measured at four scattering angles (30, 60, 90 and 120). With the aid of the CONTIN software, mean diffusion coefficients are obtained therefrom which, in the case of angular dependence, are extrapolated to the scattering angle 0 . The diameter of the liposomes follows from the resulting diffusion coefficient using the Stokes-Einstein relationship. For the liposomes of the compound of the formula (101a) prepared using the injection method, it is found that:
d=(220 40) nm.
This counts as proof that liposomes are present. In the second method for liposome preparation, which is described under a, the diameter can be adjusted between 1000 and 200 nm by variation of the sonication time (10 to 60 minutes).
c. Testing of the Substantivity and Water Resistance
To test the substantivity and water resistance, stratum corneum from pigs' ears is used as an in vitro model. The pigs' ears are fetched from the slaughterhouse on the day of stratum corneum preparation. After the ears have been washed and the bristles shaved off, they are cut into pieces of size 3.times.3 cm. Immediately before peeling off the stratum corneum, the cut pieces are placed in double-distilled water at 60 C. for 1.5 minutes. The stratum corneum is then peeled off and stored in a penicillin/streptomycin solution (1% in double-distilled water) until use.
The substantivity and water resistance are then tested with the aid of Franz's diffusion cells. The UV absorber solution is first added to the lower compartment of a cell and 0.9% NaCl solution (adjusted to pH 7.4 with phosphate buffer) to the upper compartment. A piece of stratum corneum is placed between the two compartments with the outer side downwards such that the UV absorber molecules can diffuse into the skin or adsorb on the skin. During the course of this, the diffusion cell is temperature-controlled at 32 C. and the UV absorber solution in the cell is stirred. The adsorption kinetics are monitored for 5 hours by analysing the stratum corneum by UV spectroscopy after 60 minutes in each case. The crucial parameter for the assessment of the substantivity is the concentration of the UV absorber molecules in the skin which has been established after 5 hours. The UV absorber solution is then removed from the lower cell compartment and replaced by 0.9% NaCl solution (adjusted to pH 6.0 with phosphate buffer). The desorption kinetics are then measured for a further 17 hours in the same manner (however at greater time intervals), essential parameters for the assessment of water resistance being on the one hand the concentration of UV absorber molecules which still remains in the skin after 17 hours and on the other hand the ratio of this value, based on the maximum concentration immediately before the start of the desorption process.
The results listed in Table 1 show that after adsorption for 5 hours the concentration of the compound of the formula (101a) in the skin is very high.
TABLE 1__________________________________________________________________________ Compound of the formula (101),__________________________________________________________________________ 10 mM in liposomal form without further additivesc(skin, ads.), after 5 hours adsorption (1.9 0.6) mM(substantivity)c(skin, des.) after 17 hours desorption (1.5 0.5) mM(water resistance)c(skin.sub.des)/c(skin.sub.ads) 0.79__________________________________________________________________________
From the results in Table 1, it can furthermore be seen that the compound of the formula (101a) also has a very high water resistance. Thus after treatment for 17 hours with an aqueous solution (0.9% NaCl, adjusted to pH 6.0 with phosphate buffer), 79% of the substance still remains in the skin.
d. Spectral Properties
The maximum extinction of the compound of the formula (101a) lies at a wavelength of 310 nm. At this wavelength, the extinction of a 1% solution at an optical layer thickness of 1 cm is:
E (1%, 1 cm)=612.
The half-width of the absorption band is 58 nm.
e. Determination of Sun Protection Factors
Sun protection factors (SPF) are determined by the method of Diffey and Robson (J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem. 40 (1989)127). 2 of the formulation per cm.sup.2 are thus applied to Transpore.RTM. tape (3M). The diffuse transmission (measurement using integration sphere) is then measured in the spectral range between 290 and 400 nm against uncoated Transpore.RTM. tape and, for the calculation of the sun protection factor, weighted using the sensitivity spectrum of the skin and the intensity spectrum of the sun. Nine measurements are carried out in each case, the highest and the lowest value of the resulting sun protection factors not being taken into account, so that the averaging is finally carried out using seven measurements. Thus for a 5% liposome suspension of the compound of the formula (101a):
SPF=8.6 1.7.
