The present invention relates to a stable peptide-conjugated ascorbic acid derivative exhibiting an excellent wrinkle-reducing effect and an excellent whitening effect, a method for preparing the same, and a cosmetic composition comprising the same as an active ingredient.
Generally, ascorbic acid acts as a reducing agent, a collagen synthesis promoter or an antioxidant, stimulates iron absorption in the small intestines, and is involved in carnitine biosynthesis and immunity. It is known that, when the body is deficient in ascorbic acid, scurvy, the abnormalities in connective tissue caused by abnormalities in collagen synthesis, bone pain, bone fracture, diarrhea, etc., may occur, and when an excessive amount of ascorbic acid exists in the body, gastrointestinal disorders, including nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea and the like, may occur. In particular, the excellent antioxidant effect of ascorbic acid is known to inhibit melanin production in the skin, thereby preventing abnormal pigmentations such as freckles, and thus ascorbic acid is attracting attention as a material for skin external use.
Although ascorbic acid exhibits various effects as described above, it has problems in that it is mostly destroyed when being heated in air, is unstable against alkali, and is easily oxidized in an aqueous solution to lose such effects. Thus, in order to overcome this unstability of ascorbic acid, various ascorbic acid derivatives have been developed.
Previously developed ascorbic acid derivatives are as follows. First, there are derivatives such as phosphorylated ascorbic acid or metal salts thereof. Such derivatives are easily converted to an L-ascorbic acid form available in the human body, compared to other derivatives, but has a disadvantage in that they are difficult to absorb into the skin, because they have negative charges. Second, a variety of fatty acid-conjugated derivatives are known, including ascorbyl palmitate, ascorbyl laurate, ascorbyl stearate, etc. Among these derivatives, ascorbyl-6-palmitate is most widely used (see U.S. Pat. No. 5,409,693). These derivative compounds are absorbed into the skin, but have a disadvantage in that they are difficult to convert into an L-ascorbic acid form. Third, collagen-producing peptide-conjugated ascorbic acid derivatives are known in which a succinoyl group is linked to the hydroxyl group at carbon 5 or carbon 6 of ascorbic acid by an ester bond and the collagen-producing peptide is linked by an amide bond (see Korean Patent No. KR 10-0459679]. These derivatives show excellent efficacy compared to ascorbic acid, but have the disadvantage of having poor stability.
As described above, almost all ascorbic acid derivatives developed to date were not improved in terms of efficacy or stability compared to pure ascorbic acid, and peptide-conjugated ascorbic acid derivatives mostly have aimed to enhance only the whitening effect of ascorbic acid. Thus, the wide use of these derivatives for cosmetic applications is limited.
Accordingly, the present inventors have made extensive efforts to develop an ascorbic acid derivative having both a wrinkle-reducing effect and a whitening effect while overcoming the problems of conventional ascorbic acid derivatives. As a result, the present inventors have found that, when a peptide compound having 2 to 5 units is conjugated to an ascorbic acid aminopropanol phosphoric acid diester compound, a stable ascorbic acid derivative having both a wrinkle-reducing effect and a whitening effect can be obtained, thereby completing the present invention.

B16F1 melanoma cell lines (ATCC CRL-6323) were added to a DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin and were cultured under the condition of 37° C. and 5% CO2. After culture, the medium was replaced with DMEM medium (Invitrogen-Gibco-BRL, cells/well), and treated with a suitable amount of a sample solution such that the final concentration of each test compound reached 0 μg/ml, 10 μg/ml, 20 μg/ml or 40 μg/ml. After 72 hours, the medium was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS (phosphate buffered saline), harvested, and dried at 60° C. Next, a melanin extraction solution (1 N NaOH+10% DMSO) was added to the cells which were then lysed at 80° C. Next, the amount of melanin was quantified using synthetic melanin as a standard, and the amount of protein was quantified. The amount of melanin per unit protein was calculated, and expressed as % control value relative to a control.
The results are shown in Table 1 below.
Human neonatal dermal fibroblast cells (Cascade Co.) were seeded into a 24-well microplate (5×104 cells/well) with DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, and were cultured under the condition of 37° C. and 5% CO2 for 24 hours. The medium was replaced with serum-free DMEM medium, and the cells were cultured for 24 hours, and treated with each sample solution such that the final concentration of each test compound reached 1 μg/ml or 5 μg/ml. After 48 hours of culture, the cell culture medium was collected, and the amount of procollagen in the medium was measured using a collagen measurement kit (Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd., Japan). Specifically, the collected cell culture medium was added to a 96-well plate having a primary collagen antibody uniformly applied thereto, and was subjected to an antigen-antibody reaction at 37° C. for 3 hours. The cell culture medium was removed from each well which was then washed four times with PBS. A color-developing substance was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes, and then 1 N sulfuric acid solution was added to each well to stop the reaction. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured with a spectrophotometer. A standard curve was prepared using a standard solution, and the absorbance obtained as described above was substituted into the standard curve to thereby determine the production of procollagen in the cell culture medium in which each test compound was added.
The results are shown in Table 2 below.
The stability of an active ingredient, which is used in cosmetic compositions, after water and heat, is an important factor not only in a preparation process, but also in the long-term storage of the composition. Thus, the stabilities of compounds I-1 and I-2, prepared in Examples 1 and 2, respectively, against water and heat, were measured. Specifically, each of compounds I-1 and I-2 was stored in a sealed state under the severe conditions of temperature of 40° C. and relative humidity of 75%, and the percentage of the active ingredient in each sample after 3, 7, 14 and 28 days relative to the initial value of the active value of the active ingredient at day 0 was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The results are shown in Table 3 below.
As can be seen in Table 3 above, each of compounds I-1 and I-2 was tested under severe conditions for 28 days, and as a result, it could be seen that the compounds exhibited excellent stability comparable to that of commercially available LAAP (Vitagen).
In order to examine the mechanism of the effect of compound I-1 on the promotion of procollagen synthesis, the inhibitory effect of the compound against DNMT activity was examined using a nuclear extract isolated from Hela cells and a DNA methyltransferase activity/inhibitor screening assay kit. To a strip coated with cystosine-rich DNA, a Hela cell nuclear extract comprising DNMT, compound I-1, and Adomet, were added. As a positive control, 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-azadC) was used. A capture antibody, which binds to methylated DNA, and a detection antibody, were sequentially added to the strip, after which a developing solution was added to induce a color developing reaction, and then a stop solution was added to stop the reaction. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured, and based on the measured absorbance, the percent inhibition of DNMT activity was calculated using the following equation 1. The results of the calculation are shown in Table 4 below.
inhibition %=[1−(ODinhibitor−ODblank)/(ODcontrol−ODblock)]×100 Equation 1
As can be seen in Table 4 above, compound I-1 inhibited DNA methylation by 50% or more at a concentration of 5 μg/ml or higher, and exhibited the effect of inhibiting DNA methylation in a concentration-dependent manner in the concentration range of 1-10 μg/ml. Thus, it can be seen that compound I-1 has the effect of increasing procollagen level by inhibiting methylation of collagen gene.
