Abstract

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Technical Field of the Invention

[0003] The present invention relates to cosmetic compositions for topical application, in particular intended for photoprotecting the skin and/or the hair, comprising an effective amount of at least one silane or siloxane derivative of (phenylsulfonyl)acrylonitrile, novel silane or siloxane derivatives of (phenylsulfonyl)acrylonitrile, and their uses in cosmetics as UV-A-screening agents.

[0004] 2. Description of Background/Related/Prior Art

[0005] It is known that radiation having wavelengths of between 280 nm and 400 nm allows tanning of the human epidermis, and that radiation having wavelengths of between 280 and 320 nm, known by the name UV-B radiation, causes erythemas and skin burns which can impede the development of natural tanning. For these reasons, and for aesthetic reasons, there is an increasing demand for means for controlling this natural tanning. It is therefore advisable to screen out this UV-B radiation.

[0006] It is also known that UV-A rays having wavelengths of between 320 and 400 nm, which cause tanning of the skin, are capable of inducing its impairment, in particular in the case of a sensitive skin or of a skin continually exposed to solar radiation. UV-A rays cause in particular a loss of elasticity of the skin and the appearance of wrinkles which lead to premature skin aging. They promote the onset of the erythematous reaction or amplify this reaction in some subjects and may even be responsible for phototoxic or photoallergic reactions. Thus, for aesthetic and cosmetic reasons such as the preservation of the natural elasticity of the skin, an increasing number of individuals wish to control the effect of UV-A rays on their skin. It is therefore desirable also to screen out UV-A radiation.

[0007] Numerous organic compounds intended for protecting the skin from UV-A and/or UV-B radiation have been proposed up until now.

[0008] Most of them are aromatic compounds which absorb UV radiation in the region between 280 nm and 315 nm, or in the region between 315 nm and 400 nm and beyond, or in the whole of these regions. They are most often formulated in anti-sun compositions which are provided in the form of oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions. Organic screening agents, which are generally lipophilic or hydrophilic, are present in dissolved form, in either of these phases, in appropriate quantities to obtain the desired sun protection factor (SPF).

[0009] The expression sun protection factor is understood to mean the ratio of the irradiation time necessary to achieve the erythematogenic threshold in the presence of the screening agent tested to the irradiation time necessary to achieve this same threshold in the absence of screening agent.

[0010] In addition to their solar radiation screening power, these photoprotective compounds should also have good cosmetic properties, good solubility in the customary solvents and in particular in fatty substances such as oils and fats, good resistance to water and to perspiration (persistence) and satisfactory photostability.

[0011] In this regard, there is known, from the state of the art, in particular from EP-0-716,089 a particularly advantageous family of UV-A-screening agents, consisting of silane or siloxane derivatives of acrylonitrile. These compounds have very good UV-A-screening properties, better solubility in the customary organic solvents and in particular fatty substances such as oils compared with their nonsilicon-containing homologues, and excellent cosmetic properties. However, it has been observed that these UV-A-screening agents had inadequate photostability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0012] It has now surprisingly and unexpectedly been determined that a novel family of silane or siloxane derivatives of (phenylsulfonyl)acrylonitrile have screening properties in the UV-A region, solubility in the customary organic solvents and cosmetic properties as efficient as their homologs which are nonphenylsulfonated silicon-containing derivatives of acrylonitrile of the prior art, but which also have, compared with these compounds, a substantially higher photostability.

[0013] The present invention thus features silane or siloxane derivatives or mixtures of silane or siloxane derivatives of (phenylsulfonyl)acrylonitrile of formula (1), (2) or (3) which are defined below.

[0014] The present invention also features cosmetic compositions for topical application, in particular for photoprotecting the skin and/or the hair, containing, in a cosmetically acceptable carrier, at least one siloxane or silane compound or a mixture of siloxane or silane compounds derived from (phenylsulfonyl)acrylonitrile of formula (1), (2) or (3) which are defined below.

[0045] R3 is H,

[0047] Z is CH2,

[0048] Y is H or CH3.

[0049] Among the diorganosiloxanes of formula (1) which are more particularly preferred, there may be mentioned:

[0050] [4-[2-methyl-3-[1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]disiloxanyl]propyloxy]phenyl]-2-(benzenesulfonyl)acrylonitrile (compound A) having the structure: 4

[0051] a mixture of [4-[3-[1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]disiloxanyl]-2-propenoxy]phenyl]-2-(benzenesulfonyl)acrylonitrile (compound B) and [4-[2-[1,3,3,3-tetramethyl-1-[(trimethylsilyl)oxy]-disiloxanyl]-2-propenoxy]phenyl]-2-(benzenesulfonyl)-acrylonitrile (compound C) having the following structures (and more particularly whose compound B/compound C molar ratio is 33/67): 5

[0062] Y is H or CH3.

[0063] Among the silane compounds of formula (3) which are more particularly preferred, there may be mentioned 2-benzenesulfonyl-3-[4-(3-trimethylsilanylpropoxy)phenyl]acrylonitrile having the following structure: 7

[0064] To prepare the derivatives of formula (1) or (2), the procedure may be carried out conventionally using a hydrosilylation reaction starting with the corresponding siloxane derivative in which, for example, all the radicals A are hydrogen atoms. This derivative is called in the text that follows SiH-containing derivative.

[0065] The SiH groups may be present in the chain and/or at the chain ends. These SiH-containing derivatives are products which are well known in the silicone industry and are generally commercially available. They are, for example, described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,220,972, 3,697,473 and 4,340,709.

[0066] The SiH-containing derivatives corresponding respectively to the compounds of formulae (1) and (2) may therefore be represented by the following formulae (4) and (5). 8

[0067] in which:

[0068] R, r, s, t and u have the meaning given above for the formulae (1) and (2),

[0069] B′, which are identical or different, are chosen from the radicals R and a hydrogen atom.

[0070] In order to prepare the siloxane compounds of the invention of formulae (1) or (2) above, the procedure is carried out in the following manner: (scheme 1): on the corresponding SiH-containing derivative of formula (4) or (5), there is performed a hydrosilylation reaction in the presence of a catalytically effective quantity of a platinum catalyst on an organic derivative of (phenylsulfonyl)-acrylonitrile of the following formula (I′): 9

[0071] in which R1, R2 and R3 have the same meaning as in formula (I) above and L′ corresponds to one of the following two formulae (b) and (b′): 10

[0072] in which Y, Z, p and q have the same meanings as in the formulae (a) and (a′) above.

[0073] The hydrosilylation reaction is therefore carried out according to one of the following two reactions: 11

[0074] (grafting onto the formula (b)) or 12

[0075] (grafting onto the formula (b′))

[0076] The derivatives of formula (I′) are obtained by condensing an alkene or alkenyl halide with a derivative of formula (I″): 13

[0077] in which the radicals R1, R2 and R3 have the same meaning as in the preceding formulae (I) and (I′).

[0078] The derivatives of formula (I″) are obtained by condensing an aromatic hydroxybenzaldehyde or a hydroxyphenone with a (phenylsulfonyl)acetonitrile in toluene in the presence of piperidinium acetate as catalyst (Knoevenagel condensation) according to the following scheme: 14

[0079] in which the radicals R1, R2 and R3 have the same meaning as in the formulae (I) and (I′).

[0080] As aromatic benzaldehyde derivatives, there may be mentioned 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde or vanillin which are commercial products. As phenone derivative, there may be mentioned 4-hydroxyacetophenone.

[0081] As (phenylsulfonyl)acetonitrile derivative, there may be mentioned (benzenesulfonyl)acetonitrile which is a commercial product.

[0082] To prepare the silane derivatives of formula (3), one of the following two schemes may be used:

[0083] (A) Route where a halogenated silane derivative is reacted with an aromatic hydroxybenzaldehyde or a hydroxyphenone in the presence of a base (conventional alkylation reaction), the benzaldehyde or phenone obtained being condensed with a (phenylsulfonyl)acetonitrile in toluene in the presence of piperidinium acetate as catalyst (Knoevenagel condensation) according to the following scheme 2: 15

[0084] in which L, R′1 to R′3 and R1 to R3 have the meanings indicated above for the formulae (3) and (I) defined above and Hal represents a halogen and more particularly chlorine.

[0085] (B) Route which consists in starting with the derivative of the following formula (6) in which R1 to R3 have the same meanings as in formula (I) above and reacting with it, in the presence of a base (conventional alkylation reaction), the derivative of formula (7) in which L, R′1 to R′3 have the same definition as in formula (3) above and Hal represents a halogen and more particularly chlorine according to the following scheme: 16

[0086] As silane halide derivatives, there may be mentioned chloropropyltrimethylsilane or chloromethyltrimethylsilane sold by WACKER. The compounds used in the compositions according to the invention have good fat-solubility and may thus be used at high concentrations in the cosmetic compositions, which can confer a very high protection value on the compositions containing them. Moreover, this good solubility causes them to become uniformly distributed in conventional cosmetic carriers containing at least one fatty phase or one cosmetically acceptable organic solvent and may thus be applied to the skin or the hair to form an effective protective film.

[0087] As indicated above, the compounds of formulae (1), (2) or (3) have an excellent screening power in the UV-A range, that is to say in the domain having wavelengths ranging from 320 nm to 400 nm, and have a satisfactory photostability.

[0088] The compound(s) of formula (1), (2) or (3) are preferably present in the cosmetic compositions for topical use of the present invention in an amount of 0.1% to 20% by weight, and in particular in an amount of 0.5 to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.

[0089] The cosmetic, in particular anti-sun, compositions of the present invention may contain, in addition, one or more additional organic sunscreens which are active in the UV-A and/or UV-B domain.

[0090] The additional organic UV-screening agents in accordance with the invention may be water-soluble, fat-soluble or insoluble in the customary cosmetic solvents. They are chosen in particular from anthranilates; cinnamic derivatives; dibenzoylmethane derivatives; salicylic derivatives, camphor derivatives; triazine derivatives such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat.
