The disclosure is in the field of compounds that stabilize chemical sunscreens or other compounds that are photoactive, and related compositions and methods.
Photoactive compounds are widely used. For example, sunscreens are photoactive compounds. The most widely used UVA and UVB filters in sunscreens are Avobenzone (butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane) and Octoxinate (ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate). While effective in blocking UVA and UVB rays respectively, upon exposure to UV light both Avobenzone and Octinoxate are subject to degradation. Upon exposure to UV light Octinoxate will sometimes form dimers with other Octinoxate molecules. These dimers no longer absorb UVB and UVB efficacy is lost. Octinoxate will also react with the double bond of the dominant form of Avobenzone resulting in the formation of cyclobutane which then forms ring opening structures. The result is loss of UVA efficacy.
Retinoids are also photoactive compounds. Upon exposure to UV light, retinoids are subject to photoreactions, such as photoisomerization, photopolymerization, photooxidation, and photodegradation. The resulted photodecomposition products do not have the same level of biological activities. The result is loss of biological efficacy.
Photostabilizers such as N-cyanodiphenylacrylates such as Octocrylene (2-Cyano-3,3-Diphenyl Acrylic Acid, 2-Ethylhexyl Ester) are known to inhibit the UV-induced photo degradation of Avobenzone. When Avobenzone absorbs a photon of UV light its electron enters a triplet energy state, which can lead to the photo-degradation of the Avobenzone. Octocrylene is able to accept the triplet excited state energy and return the Avobenzone to its original unexcited state. However, when Octoxinate is present, it sometimes will accept the triplet excited state energy from Avobenzone and then react with the double bond found in the dominant form of Avobenzone. Accordingly, Octocrylene is sometimes, but not always, effective for its intended purpose.
The problem of solving the instability of photoactive compounds is critical. Sunscreens like Avobenzone and Octinoxate are widely used. Particularly, Avobenzone is one of the only UVA sunscreens approved for global use in sunscreen products. Also, retinoids are highly desired due to their biological benefits and efficacies. Particularly, retinol is an important regulator in epidermal cell growth, normal cell differentiation, and cell maintenance.
The disclosure is directed to photostabilizing compounds, compositions comprising those photostabilizing compounds, and related methods for stabilizing photoactive compounds that may include chemical sunscreens, such as Avobenzone or Octinoxate in particular, as well as other unstable compounds such as retinol.

Photostabilizing compounds are highly desired. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to photostabilizing compounds having the capability to stabilize photoactive compounds.
Each electron in one molecule has two possible spin states. When two electrons of a molecule are at the same molecular orbit and have opposite spin states, these two electrons form an electron pair. When all electrons of a molecule are paired, this molecule is at a singlet state because the electronic energy levels of this molecule would not split when exposed into a magnetic field. When a molecule has only one unpaired electron, this molecule is at a doublet state because the electronic energy levels of this molecule may split into two levels when exposed into a magnetic field. When a molecule has two unpaired electrons whose spin states are parallel to each other, this molecule is at a triplet state because the electronic energy levels of this molecule may split into three levels when exposed into a magnetic field.
In some embodiments, all electrons of the photoactive compound are paired at the ground state.
In some embodiments, upon exposure to visible light and/or UV light, the photon absorption of the photoactive compound may cause electron excitation. In some alternative embodiments, upon excitation, an electron of one electron pair may be promoted from the lower energy ground state to a higher energy excited state. The electron pair may be unpaired, with one electron at the excited state and another at the ground state. In one aspect, the excited electron may not change the spin orientation, and keeps the spin orientation opposite to the spin orientation of the other unpaired electron. This excited molecule is at a singlet excited state. In another aspect, the excited electron changes its spin orientation, which becomes parallel to the spin orientation of the other unpaired electron. This excited molecule is at a triplet excited state.
In some embodiments, the photoactive compounds may become less stable upon being excited, subject to photochemical reactions that are mostly irreversible. After undergoing these irreversible reactions, the photoactive compounds generally lose their desired properties and efficacies. Because many photoactive compounds are widely used in the industry due to their great properties and efficacies, it is critical to find a way of stabilizing photoactive compounds.
In some embodiments, the photostabilizing compounds may stabilize photoactive compounds. In one aspect, the photostabilizing compounds may be capable of directly or indirectly assisting the energy transfer from the excited photoactive compounds. In one alternative aspect, the excited photoactive compounds may be less likely to undergo photochemical reactions as they may more likely get back to their more stable states (i.e., the ground state) before undergoing photochemical reactions due to the co-existing photostabilizing compounds. By lowering the possibility that the photoactive compounds undergo irreversible photochemical reactions after being excited, the photostabilizing compounds may effectively stabilize photoactive compounds.
A. The Compounds
How photostabilizing compounds assist the energy transfer from the excited photoactive compounds is not well understood.
In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to photostabilizing compounds.
In some embodiments, the photostabilizing compounds may be selected from constitutional isomers. Constitutional isomers are molecules with the same molecular formula having different bonding patterns and atomic organization. Each constitutional isomer may have its unique photophysical and photochemical properties due to its unique molecular electronic structure.
In some preferred embodiments, the photostabilizing compound may be conjugated.
In one aspect, the photostabilizing compound may be aromatic, non-aromatic, or anti-aromatic. Preferably, the photostabilizing compound may be aromatic.
In some alternative embodiments, the photostabilizing compounds are heterocyclic compounds. A heterocyclic compound is one that contains at least a ring made up of more than one kind of atom.
In one aspect, the heteroatom of the heterocyclic compound may be nitrogen, oxygen, and/or sulfur. In a heterocyclic compound, a heteroatom is the atom in a ring that is not a carbon atom. Preferably, the heteroatom of the heterocyclic compound may be nitrogen.
Nitrogen as the heteroatom may affect the properties of heterocyclic compounds in various ways. Nitrogen is more electronegative than carbon is. That is, nitrogen has the higher tendency to attract a bonding pair of electrons than the tendency that carbon has. Also, Nitrogen has a lone pair of electrons that may not form a bond with other atoms.
In one aspect, the nitrogen's lone pair may be on a p orbital perpendicular to the heterocyclic ring. In this case, nitrogen may act as an electron donor to π orbitals of the heterocyclic system. In another aspect, the nitrogen's lone pair may be on a sp2 hybrid orbit and lie outside the heterocyclic ring. In this case, nitrogen may act as an electron acceptor of the σ orbitals of the heterocyclic system because it is more electron negative than carbon. The molecular electronic structure of the heterocyclic compound may change dramatically when the number of the nitrogen atom(s) and the position(s) of nitrogen atom(s) change. The photophysical and photochemical properties of the heterocyclic compound may change according to the changes of its molecular electronic structure. By carefully choosing the number of nitrogen atom(s) on the ring and the position(s) of nitrogen atom(s), desired photophysical and photochemical properties of the compounds may be achieved.
In some alternative embodiments, the photostabilizing compounds are homocyclic compounds. A homocyclic compound is one that does not contain a ring made up of more than one kind of atom.
