The present invention relates to a process for preparing compounds derived from 3-hydroxycylopentyl acetic acid and also to compounds derived from 3-hydroxycylopentyl acetic acid and to the use of compounds derived from 3-hydroxycylopentyl acetic acid for promoting skin desquamation and/or stimulating epidermal renewal and/or combating skin aging. The invention also relates to compositions, in particular cosmetic compositions, which can be used for promoting skin desquamation and/or stimulating epidermal renewal and/or combating intrinsic and/or extrinsic skin aging.
Desquamation is a natural phenomenon associated with the fact that the epidermis, which constitutes the upper layer of the skin, is constantly being regenerated. The epidermis is constituted of several layers of cells, the deepest of which is the basal layer constituted of undifferentiated cells. Over time, these cells will differentiate and migrate to the surface of the epidermis while constituting the various layers thereof, until they form, at the surface of the epidermis, the corneocytes which are dead cells that are eliminated by desquamation. This loss at the surface is compensated for by the migration of cells from the basal layer toward the surface of the epidermis. There is perpetual renewal of the skin. A forced removal of the horny layer accelerates the renewal and makes it possible to combat aging.
At the same time, these cells continue their differentiation, the final stage of which is the corneocyte. These are in fact dead cells which constitute the final layer of the epidermis, that is to say the outermost layer, also called stratum corneum.
Skin aging resulting from intrinsic or extrinsic factors results in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, in yellowing of the skin which develops a weathered look accompanied by the appearance of pigment spots, in disorganization of the elastin and collagen fibers leading to a loss of elasticity, of suppleness and firmness, or in the appearance of telangiectasia.
Some of these signs of aging are more particularly associated with intrinsic or physiological aging, that is to say “normal” aging associated with age or chronobiological aging, whereas others are more specific for extrinsic aging, that is to say aging generally caused by the environment; this is more particularly photoaging due to exposure to the sun, to light or to any other radiation.
The invention focuses on intrinsic or physiological aging and also on extrinsic aging.
The skin changes due to intrinsic aging are the consequence of genetically programmed senescence in which endogenous factors are involved. This intrinsic aging causes in particular a slowing of skin cell renewal, which is essentially reflected by the occurrence of detrimental clinical modifications, such as a reduction in subcutaneous adipose tissue and the appearance of fine wrinkles or fine lines, and by histopathological changes, such as an increase in the number and thickness of elastic fibers, a loss of vertical fibers of the elastic tissue membrane, and the presence of large irregular fibroblasts in the cells of this elastic tissue.
Conversely, extrinsic aging leads to clinical modifications such as thick wrinkles and the formation of a flaccid, tanned skin, and histopathological changes such as an excessive accumulation of elastic matter in the upper dermis and collagen fiber degeneration.
Various agents intended for combating skin aging are known in the art.
Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 4,603,146 describes the use of retinoic acid and derivatives thereof in cosmetic compositions, for the purpose of combating skin aging.
Moreover, many patents and publications (see for example application EP-A-413528) and also many commercial cosmetic compositions teach the use of α-hydroxy acids, such as lactic acid, glycolic acid or else citric acid, for treating skin aging.
Finally, β-hydroxy acids and more especially salicylic acid and also derivatives thereof are known for their desquamating properties (see documents WO-A-93/10756 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,767,750).
All these compounds have an action against skin aging by promoting desquamation, that is to say the removal of dead cells located at the surface of the horny layer of the epidermis. This “desquamating” property is also called, often wrongly, keratolytic property.
However, these prior art compounds also have side-effects, which consist of tingling, tautness, hotness and redness that are unpleasant for the user.
Also known from application EP 1 333 021 are cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions comprising jasmonic acid derivatives and also the use of these derivatives for promoting skin desquamation and/or stimulating epidermal renewal and/or combating skin aging.
The process according to the present invention enables the synthesis of novel compounds derived from 3-hydroxycylopentyl acetic acid; it enables the synthesis of a family of compounds which exhibit great structural diversity that cannot be obtained by means of the reagents used in the prior art processes, in particular by using the methyl jasmonate used in the syntheses of application EP 1 333 021.
In addition, the process according to the present invention is an environmentally friendly process which adheres to the principles of green chemistry, among which mention may be made of a limited number of steps, the use of as few atoms as possible, the use of renewable solvents which have a limited impact on the environment, and minimization of waste, more particularly in the case where steps a) and b) are carried out in the same reactor.
In addition, the compounds synthesized by means of the process according to the invention have satisfactory properties in terms of promoting skin desquamation and/or stimulating epidermal renewal.
In addition, the compounds according to the present invention that are used as anti-aging agents have an action that is at least as efficient as that of the prior art compounds, but without having their drawbacks.
Thus, a purpose of the invention is to provide a novel process for synthesizing compounds derived from 3-hydroxycylopentyl acetic acid from acrolein, from an alkyne and from a malonate derivative. This synthesis process makes it possible to obtain a wide family of compounds, among which some have never been described.
A purpose of the invention is also to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art compounds and to provide novel compounds capable of promoting skin desquamation and/or stimulating epidermal renewal, the use of which does lead to tingling, tautness, hotness or redness that are unpleasant for the user.
Thus, according to a first aspect, the present invention relates to a process for preparing a compound of formula (I):
wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a phenyl radical or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon-based radical containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms,
R2 denotes a radical chosen from:
and also the optical isomers, diastereoisomers and/or corresponding salts thereof;
in which process the following steps are carried out:
According to a second aspect, the present invention relates to the use, for promoting skin desquamation and/or stimulating epidermal renewal and/or combating skin aging, of a compound of formula (I) wherein R1 and R2 are as defined above with the exclusion of the compounds of formula (I) for which R2 is a pentyl radical and R1 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group.
According to yet another of its aspects, the present invention relates to compounds of formula (I):
wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom, a phenyl radical or a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon-based radical containing 1 to 8 carbon atoms,
R2 denotes a radical chosen from:
and also the optical isomers, diastereoisomers and/or corresponding salts thereof.
The salts that may be used according to the invention are chosen in particular from salts of alkali metal or alkaline-earth metal, such as sodium, potassium or calcium, or else from zinc, magnesium or strontium salts, salts of an organic amine, such as natural amino acids, in particular lysine and arginine, or quaternary ammonium salts.
The present invention also relates to a composition, in particular a cosmetic composition, comprising a compound of formula (I) according to the present invention.
The invention will be understood more clearly on reading the detailed description and the examples that follow.
The term “hydrocarbon-based radical containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms” is intended to mean a hydrocarbon-based radical containing 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 carbon atoms.
The term “halogen atom” is intended to mean an atom chosen from F, Cl, Br and I.
The present invention relates to a novel process for synthesizing compounds derived from 3-hydroxycyclopentyl acetic acid from acrolein, from an alkyne and from a malonate derivative, in which process the following steps are carried out:
The process according to the invention is particularly environmentally friendly, it adheres to the principles of green chemistry: a limited number of steps, the use of as few atoms as possible in order to minimize the resources consumed, use of some reagents in catalytic rather than stoichiometric amounts, the use of renewable solvents which have a limited impact on the environment, and minimization of waste, in particular in the case where steps a) and b) are linked together in the same reactor.
In addition, the starting substrates, in particular acrolein, are readily accessible.
This process is characterized in that the overall synthesis route is very direct and that it uses acrolein as starting product for the 1,4 addition of an alkyne, and yet acrolein is a substrate that is “difficult” to use since it is not very stable and is very reactive: it tends to polymerize.
Moreover, the operating conditions and in particular the Pd(OAc)2/PMe3 catalytic system indeed make it possible to promote the 1,4 addition relative to decomposition of the acrolein.
This process is summarized in scheme 1 below:
Step a)
In step a) a 1,4 addition of the true alkyne of formula R2C≡H to acrolein is carried out. The alkyne and the acrolein are heated to a temperature between 30° C. and 140° C., preferably between 100 and 120° C., in water or in an organic solvent or in a mixture of at least two miscible or immiscible solvents, in the presence of a catalyst. Preferably, the solvent is water, acetone, a toluene/water mixture or a toluene/acetone mixture.
More particularly, the acrolein and the alkyne R2C≡H are heated at 30-140° C. in the presence of a transition metal referred to as Mt-a, introduced in a catalytic amount ranging from 0.001 equivalent (equiv.) to 0.5 equiv., for a period ranging from 5 min to 24 h in an organic solvent which is preferably a mixture of at least 2 miscible or immiscible solvents chosen from toluene, benzene, water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dichloromethane and acetonitrile.
Preferably, step a) is carried out in the presence of a catalyst which is a palladium complex in particular chosen from Pd(OAc)2, Pd(TFA)2, Pd(OPiv)2, PdCl2 and Pd2dba3 optionally combined with a phosphine or a rhodium complex optionally combined with a phosphine.
The transition metal Mt-a may also be a complex of rhodium combined with a phosphine.
Advantageously, the palladium complex is combined with a phosphine, such as PMe3, PPh3, P(n-Bu)3 or PCy3.
Particularly preferably, the transition metal introduced in a catalytic amount is a complex of palladium combined with trimethylphosphine. Preferably, the catalyst is Pd(OAc)2 and the phosphine is PMe3. They are advantageously used in a Pd(OAc)2/PMe3 mole ratio of 1/3.
According to one variant, the catalyst is preferably formed by heating, at a temperature ranging from 40 to 140° C., Pd(OAc)2 in an amount ranging from 0.001 to 0.1 equiv. and PMe3 in an amount ranging from 0.001 to 0.3 equiv. in toluene for a period ranging from 2 to 60 min.
According to one variant, the reaction is carried out in a mixture of 2 solvents chosen from toluene, benzene, water, methanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dichloromethane and acetonitrile, advantageously in a mixture of toluene and of a more polar solvent such as water, methanol, acetone or acetonitrile.
Particularly preferably, the reaction is carried out in a mixture of toluene and water or a mixture of toluene and acetone.
At the end of the reaction, the reaction mixture is diluted in an organic solvent such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate, and the phases are separated. The aqueous phase is extracted, for example 3 times with the same organic solvent, and the organic phases are combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure.
At the end of the reaction, the product obtained can optionally be isolated, before proceeding to step b.
In one preferred variant of the invention, step a and step b are carried out in the same reactor without isolating the intermediate resulting from step a. According to this variant, even more preferably, step a and step b are carried out in the same solvent system.
Alternatively, if it is desired to isolate the product from the reaction of step a) (intermediate A), the residue can be purified according to a conventional method such as silica gel column chromatography.
Step b)
In step b), an intramolecular hydroacylation is carried out, resulting in the cyclization of the product resulting from step a). At the end of step b), a cyclopentenone is obtained.
The intermediate A, which is the product resulting from step a), is heated to a temperature between 40° C. and 140° C. in an organic solvent in the presence of a catalyst.
The adduct resulting from step a is heated to 40-140° C. in the presence of a transition metal, referred to as Mt-b, which is identical to or different than that used in step a, and introduced in a catalytic amount, preferably ranging from 0.001 equiv. to 0.5 equiv., preferably for a period ranging from 5 min to 24 h in at least one solvent. Advantageously, the solvent is chosen from toluene, benzene, water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dichloromethane and acetonitrile.
Preferably, the transition metal [Mt-b] introduced in a catalytic amount is a complex of palladium combined with a phosphine, a complex of rhodium combined with a phosphine, a complex of ruthenium combined with a phosphine or a complex of iridium combined with a phosphine.
Particularly preferably, the transition metal introduced in a catalytic amount is a complex of rhodium combined with a phosphine chosen from bidentate phosphines, such as ethylenebis(diphenylphosphine) (dppe), 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp), 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane (dppb), 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf), 1,1′-binaphthalene-2,2′-diyl)bis(diphenylphosphine) (BINAP) and 2,2′-bis(di-p-tolylphosphino)-1,1′-binaphthyl (tol-BINAP). The conditions for this rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroacylation reaction are in particular described in Tanaka and Fu (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 11492).
According to one particular implementation, the rhodium complex [Rh(dppe)]2(BF4)2 (0.001 equiv. to 0.5 equiv.) and the intermediate A (1 equiv.) are dissolved in a solvent such as water, toluene, dichloromethane, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, methanol, ethanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or acetonitrile, under an inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture is stirred for a period ranging from 5 min to 72 h at a temperature of between 18 and 150° C. After a return to ambient temperature, acetonitrile is added and the solvents are evaporated off under reduced pressure. The residue is purified according to a conventional method such as distillation and silica gel column chromatography. The cyclopentenone of formula B is thus obtained.
Step c)
In step c), a 1,4 addition of the malonate derivative M to the cyclopentenone of formula B resulting from step b) is carried out. The malonate derivative is treated with a strong base in an organic solvent, and is then brought into contact with the cyclopentenone.
More particularly, the malonate derivative M is treated with a strong base for a period ranging from 5 min to 24 h in at least one organic solvent, preferably chosen from N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, tert-butanol, THF,
Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether or dichloromethane, and then brought into contact with the cyclopentenone resulting from step b).
Preferably, the strong base is magnesium diethanolate, potassium tert-butanolate, sodium methoxide or lithium diisopropylamide.
Preferably, the solvent is methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, tert-butanol or THF.
According to one preferred implementation of the invention, 1 equivalent of malonate CH2(CO2CH2Ph)(CO2R0) is dissolved in an organic solvent which is preferably N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, THF or diethyl ether.
The malonate M, in an amount ranging from 1 to 10 equivalents, is then treated, at a temperature between −78° C. and 30° C., with an amount ranging from 1 to 5 equivalents of a strong base, which is preferably chosen from magnesium diethanolate, potassium tert-butanolate, sodium methoxide or lithium diisopropylamide.
The reaction medium is stirred for a period ranging from 5 to 120 min, then 1 equivalent of the cyclopentenone B, dissolved beforehand in the reaction solvent, is added dropwise.
The reaction mixture is stirred for a period ranging from 5 minutes to 24 h and then cooled to a temperature of between −30 and 0° C. The excess base is neutralized by adding a saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution and the adduct C is extracted from 1 to 4 times, using an organic solvent such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, ethyl acetate or isopropyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by conventional methods such as silica gel column chromatography, in order to isolate the intermediate C.
Step d
In step d), a reduction and a decarboxylation of the intermediate C are carried out concomitantly. The intermediate C is brought into contact with a hydride donor in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst in at least one organic solvent. The reaction mixture is then heated to a temperature of between 50 and 200° C. and preferably between 100 and 200° C.
The adduct C resulting from step c) is brought into contact with a hydride donor in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst, referred to as Mt-d, introduced in a catalytic amount ranging from 0.001 equiv. to 0.5 equiv., for a period ranging from 5 min to 24 h in at least one solvent which is preferably chosen from toluene, benzene, water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether, dichloromethane and acetonitrile. The reaction mixture is then heated at a temperature of between 50 and 200° C. and over a period ranging from 5 min to 24 hours in an autoclave.
Preferably, the hydride donor is dihydrogen or cyclohexane, and the solvent is chosen from water, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether and dichloromethane.
Preferably, the hydrogenation catalyst is based on at least one metal chosen from palladium, ruthenium, iridium and rhodium. Particularly preferably, the hydrogenation catalyst is palladium-on-carbon.
According to one preferred implementation of the invention, the intermediate C, dissolved beforehand in an organic solvent such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl, THF, Me-THF, diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether or dichloromethane, is stirred at a temperature of between 18 and 100° C., under an atmosphere of dihydrogen in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon, for a period ranging from 5 min to 24 h. The hydrogen is then removed by passing a stream of argon and the mixture is heated to a temperature between 50 and 180° C. After a return to ambient temperature, the hydrogenation catalyst is filtered off on celite. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography in order to isolate the compound (I).

The examples that follow illustrate the invention without limiting its scope.
Step a:
A 1 M solution of PMe3 in toluene (0.30 equiv., 0.15 mmol, 1 ml) is added to Pd(OAc)2 (0.1 equiv., 0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg). The mixture is heated at 110° C. under argon for 10 min, in such a way that Pd(OAc)2 is completely dissolved. After a return to ambient temperature, the reaction medium is diluted by adding 0.5 ml of water and then a mixture of 1-decyne (1 equiv., 0.5 mmol) and acrolein (5 equiv., 2.5 mmol) is added. The mixture is heated at 60° C. for 17 h (complete disappearance of the 1-decyne by TLC). After a return to ambient temperature, the reaction mixture is diluted in diethyl ether and the phases are separated. The aqueous phase is extracted 3 times with diethyl ether and then the organic phases are combined, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate: 95/5) in order to isolate the intermediate A-5 with a yield of 62%.
Step b:
The intermediate A-5 is cyclized by a rhodium-catalyzed intramolecular hydroacylation reaction according to the conditions described by Tanaka and Fu (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2001, 123, 11492) for this type of reaction.
The complex of rhodium [Rh(dppe)]2(BF4)2 (0.1 equiv.) and the intermediate A-5 (1 equiv.) are dissolved in acetone in a Schlenk tube, under an inert atmosphere. The tube is sealed and the reaction mixture is stirred at a temperature of 90° C. for 16 h. After a return to ambient temperature, acetonitrile is added and the solvents are evaporated off under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography in order to isolate the intermediate B-5.
Step c:
5 equivalents of the malonate derivative CH2(CO2CH2Ph)(CO2CH2Ph) are dissolved in THF.
The malonate derivative is then treated, at a temperature between −78° C. and 30° C., with 5 equivalents of a strong base: magnesium diethanolate.
The reaction medium is stirred for 30 min, then 1 equivalent of the cyclopentenone B-5, dissolved beforehand in the reaction solvent, is added dropwise.
The reaction mixture is stirred for 4 h and then cooled to a temperature of between −30 and 0° C. The excess base is neutralized by adding a saturated aqueous NH4Cl solution and the adduct C-5 is extracted 3 times using ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography in order to isolate the intermediate C-5.
Step d:
The intermediate C-5, dissolved beforehand in ethanol, is stirred at a temperature between 18 and 100° C., under an atmosphere of dihydrogen in the presence of a palladium-on-carbon catalyst, for 4 h. The hydrogen is then removed by passage of an argon stream and the mixture is heated at 150° C. for 4 hours. After a return to ambient temperature, the hydrogenation catalyst is filtered off through celite. The filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography in order to isolate the compound 5.
Step a:
The intermediate A-9 is obtained in a manner strictly similar to the intermediate A-5, by substituting the 1-decyne with 5-methylhex-1-yne, with a reaction time of 17 h. Yield 51%.

The influence of compound 5, in particular obtained according to the preparation process described in example 1 above, on the epidermal renewal and the barrier effect of the skin was evaluated in vitro by measuring the expression of the TGM1 and TGM3 transcripts in keratinocytes.
Transglutaminase is an aminoacyltransferase. It is in the form of generally water-insoluble protein polymers. These biological polymers are essential to the body for creating stable barriers and structures. Thus, transglutaminase is involved, inter alia, in skin and hair synthesis. In particular, transglutaminase 3 (TGM3) is an epidermal transglutaminase (cf Griffin et al. Biochem. J. 2002, vol. 368, 377-396).
Protocol
Human epidermal keratinocytes were incubated for 24 hours in the presence or absence (control) of the compound to be tested. At the end of the incubation, the total RNAs were extracted and then quantified. The expression of the TGM1 and TGM3 transcripts was then measured by means of a 2-step RT-qPCR method by means of a LightCycler® 480 system and according to the SYBR®Green (Qiagen) incorporation technique. The expression of these transcripts was standardized relative to the expression of 2 housekeeping genes, RPL13A and GAPDH. The experiment was reproduced 3 times (N=3).
Results
The results are expressed as fold change (fc) relative to the control.
Moderate stimulation: 1.5<fc<2
Clear stimulation: 2<fc<3
Strong simulation: fc>3
Moderate inhibition: 0.5<fc<0.7
Clear inhibition: fc<0.5
Compound 5 (at 100 μm) moderately stimulated the expression of the TGM1 and TGM3 transcripts.
These results show that compound 5 according to the invention has a significant effect on increasing the expression of the TGM1 and TGM3 transglutaminases.
This increase in transglutaminase expression reflects a reinforcement of the horny layer of the epidermis and also an improvement in the barrier function, making it possible to delay withering and thinning of the skin.
These results show an anti-aging effect of compound 5 on the skin, in particular by reinforcement of the barrier function.
