7285285
Disclosed herein are cosmetic compositions comprising at least one photoactivatable compound, the uses of the photoactivatable compound, and compositions for fixing cosmetic active agents to a keratin material.
The products used for fixing cosmetic agents to keratin materials generally can have the drawback of being removed very quickly on washing or during other treatments.
Dyeing processes using photoactivatable compounds as dyes are known. For example, Patent Application No. FR 2 605 220 describes a process for dyeing keratin materials, which comprises placing the keratin materials in contact with an aromatic azide or an azidoindole and then exposing the keratin materials to a suitable light source to develop the color; Patent Application No. WO 01/06829 describes grafting of a photosensitive functional group of phenyl azide type onto a cosmetic active agent.
Processes are also known in which polymers or prepolymers are deposited on hair fibers in the presence of photoinitiators; and these fibers can then be irradiated. According to this process, U.S. Pat. No. 5,300,285 discloses, for example, silicones comprising vinyl groups; and Patent Application No. WO 00/45777 discloses prepolymers comprising a polyacrylate and/or polymethacrylate of a polyalkylenoxylated polyol.
In general, the known processes can have at least one of the following drawbacks:
The present inventors sought a composition that may afford long-lasting fixing of cosmetic active agents to a keratin material.
Disclosed herein are compounds that can, for example, in a single step, afford long-lasting fixing of a cosmetic active agent to a keratin material.
These compounds use diazirines. These compounds can provide the bonding between the cosmetic agent and the keratin materials: they can be fixed to the cosmetic agent and to the keratin materials by covalent grafting.
Diazirines are known as photochemical markers.
As used herein, the functional groups of diazirines can have the advantage of being able to be used to graft a cosmetic active agent to a keratin material without the need for photoinitiators.
With these diazirines, a higher degree of grafting can be obtained than that obtained by the processes according to the prior art; and this process can allow the use of wavelengths longer than 350 nm, which generally do not degrade proteins.
It has also been demonstrated that diazirine groups can have very good chemical stability, even in a reducing or oxidizing medium. In addition, the products such as carbenes that can form after irradiation, for example, irradiation performed using wavelengths ranging from 300 to 450 nm and further, for example, from 350 to 380 nm, can have the advantage of inserting rapidly into many types of bonds (C—H, C—C, C═C, N—H, O—H, S—H) which can, for example, be present in keratin materials or in chemical elements present at the surface of keratin materials.
Disclosed herein is a photoactivatable compound comprising a diazirine covalently bonded to a cosmetic active agent; this compound is referred to as a “diazirine-active agent compound”.
The diazirine-active agent compound comprises a single photoactivatable group of the grafted diazirine per active agent.
This compound can enable the covalent grafting of cosmetic active agents to keratin materials. For example, this grafting can take place in a single step.

The diazirine-active agent compound may, for example, be synthesized by forming a covalent bond between a diazirine, for example, the group Y of a diazirine chosen from diazirines of formula (I), and a functional group of the cosmetic active agent capable of forming a covalent bond with the diazirine. This bond can be established by performing standard chemical reactions.

Synthesis of a Diazirine-Active Agent Compound
The active agent used was a poly(ethylene oxide/propylene oxide).
The synthesis was performed starting with a diazirine chosen from diazirines of formula (I), wherein R1 is a trifluoromethyl group, Ar is a phenyl group, Z is a bond and Y is the N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of a carboxylic acid group, i.e., diazirine compound D as shown below.
The active agent used was a copolymer of ethylene oxide and of propylene oxide bearing an amine ind functional group, JEFFAMINE M-1000 sold by Texaco.
To perform this synthesis, an aquepus solutuion at a concentration of 20% by mass of JEFFAMINE M-1000 was placed under stirring.
The pH was adjusted to 8.5 with the required amount of hydrochloric acid or of sodium hydroxide.
A solution of 2 g of diazirine compound D in 10 ml of DMF was prepared. This solution was added slowly to the Jeffamine solution and was stirred at room temperature for 7 hours.
The solution was then dialysed for 12 hours in distilled water.
A ready-to-use aqueous solution of diazirine-active agent compound, PEO/PPO/diazirine, with a content ranging from 15% to 20% by weight, was thus obtained.
Hair Treatment with a Diazirine-Active Agent Compound
The solution of diazirine-active agent compound, PEO/PPO/diazirine, was applied to locks of natural hair, at a quantity of 0.5 ml of solution per lock.
The locks were dried using a hair drier until the water had evaporated.
The locks were then irradiated at 360 nm for 30 minutes.
Hair Treatment with a Diazirine Compound
A 1% solution of diazirine compound D in isododecane was applied to hair.
The isododecane was allowed to evaporate, optionally by drying the locks with a hair drier, and the locks were then irradiated at 360 nm for 30 minutes.
