The present invention relates to a novel gelator and, in particular, relates to a novel gelator including an alkyl-sugar derivative.
A structure that contains a fluid in a three-dimensional network structure formed by a substance having gel forming ability (hereinafter, referred to as a gelator) is referred to as a gel. Generally, the case where the fluid is water is referred to as a hydrogel and the case where the fluid is an organic liquid other than water (organic solvent, oil, and the like) is referred to as an organogel or an oil gel. The oil gel (organogel) is used for adjusting flowability of cosmetics and paints in the field of cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, agricultural chemicals, foods, adhesives, paints, resins, and the like. The oil gel (organogel) is also widely used for the field of environmental protection such as preventing water pollution by forming the gel of waste oil as a solid.
Research of the gelator has been mainly carried out for macromolecular compounds. In recent years, however, research and development have been carried out for low molecular-weight compounds to which various functions can be easily introduced compared with the macromolecular compounds. As described above, the oil gel (organogel) has been used in a wide range of fields and has been expected to expand its field of use in the future. Consequently, for expanding the use of the oil gel, the gelator of the low molecular-weight compound (hereinafter, may be referred to as a low molecular-weight gelator) is required to have gel forming ability to a wide variety of organic solvents. To these problems, until now, various compounds have been developed as the low molecular-weight gelator that can form a gel having excellent stability with a small added amount to various organic solvents. As one of the compounds, for example, it has been reported that a sugar derivative derived from each of monosaccharides has a structure easy to form a strong hydrogen bond with each other and thus that the sugar derivative can form the gels of various types of organic solvents (Non Patent Document 1). It has been reported that the low molecular-weight gelator using the sugar derivative can gel both solvents of water and oil (hydrophilic organic solvent and hydrophobic organic solvent) and a mixed solvent thereof (Patent Document 1).
Until now, a gelator for oil made of a low molecular-weight compound for nonaqueous media such as organic solvents has been developed. However, a problem of limitation of media that can form a gel and other problems arise. Therefore, for creating a novel oil gel having novel uses and functions, development of a novel low molecular-weight gelator for oil gels that can form the gels of various media has been sought.
The above gelator of the sugar derivative can form the gels of various types of solvents by changing the types of sugars. Gelation of a wide variety of solvents using one kind of sugar derivative is relatively difficult. The gel obtained using the sugar derivative described in Non Patent Document 1 has no preservation stability. The gelator disclosed in Patent Document 1 can form the gel of the mixed solvent of water and oil (hydrophilic organic solvent and hydrophobic organic solvent). The gelator, however, involves costs for safety tests including phototoxicity.
As described above, the gelator that can form the gel of the mixed solvent of water and oil (hydrophobic organic solvent) to form a water/oil dispersion gel, that is, an emulsion gel (gel emulsion) is particularly useful for cosmetics and medical base materials that require high bio-safety. However, a revolutionary gelator that secures gelation ability to a wide variety of solvents and bio-safety has not yet been developed.
Generally, for cosmetic applications and the like, O/W (oil-in-water type) emulsions have light spread on skin and weak oily feeling and thus have been applied to many cosmetics until now. On the other hand, W/O (water-in-oil type) emulsions give oilier feeling when applied to the skin as compared with the O/W emulsions. The W/O emulsions, however, are suitable for applications to which water resistance (perspiration resistance) is required and the effects of makeup can be sustained for a long time. It can be also expected that the W/O emulsions can achieve refreshing feeling of use by increasing the water content of the dispersed phase (internal phase).
Therefore, in recent years, the demand for a gelator that can provide the emulsion gel as the W/O emulsion gel has been also increased.
The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances. An object achieved by solving the above problems is to provide a novel gelator that can form the gels of various kinds of organic solvents, can independently form not only the gel of water, the hydrophilic organic solvent, and the hydrophobic organic solvent (oil and the like) but also the gel of the mixed solvent thereof, particularly the mixed solvent of water and the hydrophobic organic solvent (oil), can prepare gels having excellent bio-safety, and in addition, can prepare the W/O emulsion gels.
As a result of extensive research to solve the above problems, the inventors of the present invention have found that when an alkyl-sugar derivative is applied as a gelator, surprisingly, the alkyl-sugar derivative can form the gels to various solvents, in particular, can form the gel of the mixed solvent of water and hydrophobic solution (oil), and thus have completed the present invention.

The obtained solid was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane: ethyl acetate=80:20 to 50:50 (v/v) and chloroform: ethyl acetate=50:50 (v/v)) to give the target product (Compound [11]): Yield 27% (1.2 g)1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 4.74 (1H, d, J=1.4 Hz), 4.58 (1H, t, J=5.0 Hz), 4.17-4.07 (1H, m), 4.05-3.94 (2H, m), 3.71-3.56 (3H, m), 3.37 (3H, s), 2.55 (1H, d, J=2.3 Hz), 2.51 (1H, d, J=3.7 Hz), 1.69-1.60 (2H, m), 1.47-1.17 (30H, m), 0.88 (3H, t, J=6.9 Hz).
<Synthesis of Galactose Derivative (Compound [12])>
Triethyl orthoformate (3.3 mL, 20 mmol) was added to a suspension solution of methyl α-D-galactopyranoside monohydrate (2.1 g, 10 mmol), 1-octadecanal (Compound [3]) (2.7 g, 10 mmol), and p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate (105 mg, 0.55 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) at room temperature. The flask containing a reaction solution was connected to a rotary evaporator. The bath temperature of the rotary evaporator was set at 70° C. and the flask was rotated for 5 hours while the pressure of the inside of the system was being reduced to 220 hPa. After 5 hours, the mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature. A saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the mixture. The resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the extracted liquid was washed with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution. An organic phase was separated and sodium sulfate was added to dry the organic phase. Thereafter, sodium sulfate was removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated. To the residue, hexane (30 mL) was added to carry out solid-liquid washing. After filtration, white powder was dried under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexane:ethyl acetate=60:40 to 40:70 (v/v)) to give the target product (Compound [12]): Yield 55% (2.4 g)1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 4.90 (1H, d, J=3.2 Hz), 4.57 (1H, t, J=5.0 Hz), 4.12 (1H, d, J=12.4 Hz), 4.03 (1H, t, J=3.7 Hz), 3.92-3.73 (3H, m), 3.60 (1H, s), 3.44 (3H, s), 2.37 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz), 2.10 (1H, d, J=7.8 Hz) 1.76-1.65 (2H, m), 1.50-1.15 (30H, m), 0.88 (3H, t, J=6.0 Hz).
The gel forming ability to various solvents was evaluated using Compounds [4]-[12] synthesized in Example 1 as gelators.
The gelation test was carried out as follows. A gelator and a solvent were added to a 4 mL screw thread sample tube. In the case of Compounds [4] to [7], the sample containing each of octane, squalane, squalene, isopropyl myristate (IPM), olive oil, KF995 (decamethylcyclopentasiloxane), and ethylene glycol was heated at 120° C., the sample containing each of jojoba oil, toluene, and water was heated at 100° C., the sample containing each of cyclohexane, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), ethanol, mixed solvents (75% of ethanol (ethanol/water=75/25), 50% of ethanol (ethanol/water=50/50), and 25% of ethanol (ethanol/water=25/75) was heated at 80° C., and containing each of chloroform and methanol was heated at 60° C. Each sample was heated for 30 minutes. On the other hand, in the case of Compounds [8] to [12], the sample containing each of octane, squalane, squalene, isopropyl myristate (IPM), olive oil, jojoba oil, KF995 (decamethylcyclopentasiloxane), toluene, ethylene glycol, and water was heated at 100° C., the sample containing each of cyclohexane, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide), ethanol, the mixed solvents (75% of ethanol (ethanol/water=75/25), 50% of ethanol (ethanol/water=50/50), and 25% of ethanol (ethanol/water=25/75) was heated at 80° C., and the sample containing each of chloroform and methanol was heated at 60° C. Each sample was heated for 30 minutes.
Each of the obtained solutions was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand for 1 hour to observe the formation of a gel (in the case of using toluene and ethyl acetate, these samples were left for 24 hours (left to cool) depending on the kind of Compounds). After the mixture was allowed to stand to cool, a state in which the fluidity of the solution was lost and the solution did not flow down even when the sample tube was turned upside down was determined as “gelation”. The gelation test was carried out at the concentration of the gelator: 5.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.25, or 0.1 wt % and the lowest concentration (wt %) of gelator required for gelation was determined to be the lowest gelation concentration. Here, wt % indicating the unit of concentration means wt/vol×100. The obtained results are listed in Table 1. The values in Table 1 are the lowest gelation concentration (wt %) and signs in Table 1 are the states of the formed gel (hereinafter, the other tables in this specification have the same description). The state of the formed gel was evaluated as “G” in the case of a transparent gel, “TG” in the case of a translucent gel, “OG” in the case of an opaque gel, “P-G” in the case of partially forming a transparent gel, “P-TG” in the case of partially forming a translucent gel, “P-OG” in the case of partially forming an opaque gel, “S” in the case that the solution was as it was, “P” in the case that precipitate was generated, and “IS” in the case that the gelator was not dissolved even when the mixture was heated and thus determined to be insoluble. Solvents not evaluated were marked as “-”.
As shown in Table 1, it was clear that the sugar derivative type gelators (Compounds [4]-[12]) indicated gelation ability for a wide range of solvent groups from nonpolar solvents to protic solvents and Compounds [4]-[12] functioned as low molecular-weight gelators.
KF995 gel formed by blending the glucose derivative: Compound [8] in an amount of 2 wt % had self-sustainable hardness (self-supporting property) (refer to
The thixotropy of various gels including the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) was evaluated. The thixotropy test was carried out as follows. Gels were prepared with the concentration of the gelator being changed in the same method as the method in Example 2. Thereafter, the gel was disintegrated by shaking the obtained gel from a gel state to a sol state using a vortex mixer and the resultant sol was allowed to stand for a certain period of time (1.5 hours) at room temperature. After being allowed to stand for the certain period of time, the sample tube containing the solution was turned upside down and the sample was determined to be “thixotropic” when the solution did not flow down. The lowest concentration (wt %) of the gelator determined to have thixotropy is listed in Table 2.
As shown in Table 2, formation of the thixotropic gel of the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) of the present invention was determined.
In general, various additives such as surfactants are blended in cosmetics and quasi-drugs. A gelator having gelation ability even when such additives are blended and, in particular, a gelator having gelation ability at the time of blending a surfactant can be expected for easily preparing a water-oil dispersion gel as described below. Consequently, such a gelator is remarkably useful because it can be assumed that various applications are developed by using the gelator.
Furthermore, one gelator is expected for preparing both O/W dispersion gel and W/O dispersion gel, if the gelator can form the gel of the surfactant-containing solution regardless of the magnitude of the HLB value.
Hereinafter, the gelation ability of the gelator of the present invention was examined when Tween 20 (HLB=16.7) having a large HLB value or Span 80 (HLB=4.3) having a small HLB value was blended.
<Surfactant Blending Test>
The gelation test at the time of blending the surfactant was carried out as follows.
The gelation ability when polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate (Tween 20) (HLB=16.7) being a nonionic surfactant was added was examined. First, Tween 20 was dissolved in water to prepare an aqueous solution containing 1 wt % of Tween 20. Thereafter, the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) was added to a 4 mL screw tube so that the concentration of the gelator reached the predetermined concentration. The previously prepared surfactant blended aqueous solution was added and the resultant mixture was heated at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The obtained solution was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand for 1 hour. The formation of gel was determined by turning the screw tube upside down. The results are listed in Table 3.
Subsequently, the gelation ability was examined when Span 80 (HLB=4.3) being a nonionic surfactant was added. Span 80 was poured into a 4 mL screw tube so that the concentration of Span 80 reached the predetermined concentration (0.5 wt %) and the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) was poured into the 4 mL screw tube so as that the concentration of the gelator reached the predetermined concentration. Each of oil agents (squalane, olive oil, jojoba oil, and KF995) was added and the resultant mixture was heated at 120° C. for 30 minutes. The obtained solution was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand for 1 hour. The formation of gel was determined by turning the screw tube upside down. The results are listed in Table 3.
As shown in Table 3, the gelator of the present invention gave a result that a hydrogel was capable of being formed when Tween 20 being a nonionic surfactant was blended.
As shown in above Table 1, the glucose derivative type gelator of Compound [8] alone cannot form a hydrogel (a gel containing 100% of water as a solvent) and hydrogel formation by using a combination of the gelator and the surfactant can be said to be a remarkably distinctive example.
As shown in Table 3, formation of gels was determined in every oil agent at the time of blending Span 80. This result suggested that W/O type dispersion gels be possibly formed at the time of preparation of the water-oil dispersion gel.
In this Example, gelation ability of the gelator of the present invention was examined when the nonionic surfactant (Tween 20), the anionic surfactants [sodium di(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (AOT) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)], and cationic surfactants [cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC)] were blended as various surfactants.
First, each of the above various surfactants was dissolved in water to prepare 0.5 wt % of an aqueous solution containing each of various surfactants. Thereafter, the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) was poured into a 4 mL screw tube so that the concentration of the gelator reached the predetermined concentration. The previously prepared surfactant blended aqueous solution was added and the resultant mixture was heated at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The obtained solution was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand for 1 day (in the case of Tween 20, for 1 hour) and the formation of gel was determined by turning the screw tube upside down. The results are listed in Table 4.
As shown in Table 4, the gelator of the present invention gave a result that the gelator of the present invention can form hydrogels in any cases where the nonionic surfactant, the anionic surfactants, or the cationic surfactants are blended.
Emulsion preparation technology for uniformly dispersing and stabilizing an oil agent and water has been required for various applications such as cosmetics, pharmaceutical products, foods, and functional materials.
Reduction in coalescence of droplets by gelation of a continuous phase is one of important factors in stabilization of emulsion. In other words, induction of gelation of the continuous phase in the W/O emulsion and the O/W emulsion caused by a certain gelator means that the gelator can possibly stabilize the W/O or O/W emulsion.
In Examples 4 and 5, it was determined that the hydrogel (a gel containing 100% of water as a solvent) was capable of being formed by addition of a small amount of surfactant Tween 20 in addition to the fact that the gelator has gel forming ability even at the time of surfactant blending. In Example 2, the gelator of the present invention has obtained the result that the gelator has gel forming ability for both of the hydrophobic organic solvent (oil agent) and the alcohol blended aqueous solution (ethanol/water solution). This result suggests that the gelator of the present invention be capable of uniformly dispersing and stabilizing water and oil without using a surfactant.
Therefore, in this Example, in order to determine that the gelator of the present invention can uniformly disperse both solvents of water and oil agent, the water-oil dispersion test was carried out.
<Water-KF995 Dispersion Gel Preparation Test>
The water-oil dispersion test was carried out as follows. A glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]), an oil agent (KF995), and water were poured into a 4 mL screw thread sample tube so that the concentrations of these components reached the predetermined concentrations. In the surfactant blended example, in the case of Tween 20, 1 wt % of a Tween 20 aqueous solution was used instead of water and, in the case of Span 80, Span 80 was added at the time of adding the gelator so that the concentration of Span 80 was 1 wt % (with the proviso that, only in the case of KF995/water (2/8 (vol/vol)), the concentration of Span 80 was 0.5 wt %).
The sample tube containing the mixed solution including the gelator and other components was heated for 30 minutes to dissolve the mixed components. Thereafter, shearing with a vortex mixer was applied to the dissolved mixture. The resultant mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to observe the dispersion state. A state where, after the mixture was allowed to stand to cool, the fluidity of the solution was lost and the solution did not flow down even when the sample tube was turned upside down and where the water and oil were uniformly dispersed were determined to be a “water/oil dispersion gel”. The obtained results are listed in Table 5.
As shown in Table 5, the water/oil dispersion gel was capable of being formed in both cases where the gelator (Compound [8]) was used alone and where the gelator and the surfactants (Tween 20 and Span 80) were used in combination in the preparation of the water-KF995 dispersion gel.
<Identification of Dispersed Phase and Continuous Phase of Dispersion Gel Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope>
As shown in
As shown in the results of Example 2, among the gelators of the present invention, Compound [8] and the like do not have gelation ability to 100% of water. However, it has been determined in Example 4 and Example 5 that hydrogels can be formed by blending the surfactant such as Tween 20 to this system. The result of forming the O/W emulsion gel suggests that the complex of the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) and Tween 20 be involved in emulsion gel formation.
The W/O emulsion gel having a high water content is generally expected to be applied to products in cosmetic application, which do not flow with sweat or water, spread easily on skin, and satisfy both fresh feeling of use and water resistance. However, it has been known that the emulsion is unstable.
The result that the high water content W/O emulsion, which is considered to be difficult to prepare, is obtained as the emulsion gel when the gelator of the present invention is used and Span 80 is blended as a surfactant can be said to be one of the major characteristics obtained by the gelator of the present invention.
<Test for Preparing Water-Squalane, Water-IPM, and Water-Jojoba Oil Dispersion Gels of Glucose Derivative Type Gelator (Compound [8])>
Subsequently, using the gelator (Compound [8]) of the present invention and using squalane, IPM, or jojoba oil as an oil agent, the water-oil dispersion gel preparation test was carried out in accordance with the procedure <Water-KF995 dispersion gel preparation test> described above.
The obtained results are listed in Table 6.
When Tween 20 is added, the heating temperature is 100° C. and the shearing time by vortex mixer is 3 minutes.
When Span 80 is added, the heating temperature is 80° C. and the shearing time by the vortex mixer is 5 minutes.
Tween 20 was used as 1 wt % of a Tween 20 solution.
Span 80 was added directly so that the concentration of Span 80 reached 0.5 wt % when the gelator was added.
The diagonal lines indicate that the test was not carried out.
As can be seen from Table 6, it was determined that the water-oil dispersion gels were capable of being prepared in various oily base materials when the gelator (Compound [8]) was used alone, when the gelator and Tween 20 were used in combination, and when the gelator and Span 80 were used in combination. This result suggests that the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) enable the water-oil dispersion gels of various oily base materials to be prepared.
<Preparation of Water-Soluble Drug-Containing Water-Oil Dispersion Gel>
Subsequently, preparation of water-oil dispersion gels using water-soluble drug aqueous solutions instead of water was carried out. The water-oil dispersion gel preparation test was carried out in accordance with the procedure in <Water-KF995 dispersion gel preparation test> described above by using L-ascorbic acid (20% of an aqueous solution (pH 2.0)), L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate trisodium salt (40% of an aqueous solution (pH 8.4)), glycine (18% of an aqueous solution (pH 6.1)), D-(+)-glucosamine hydrochloride (25% of an aqueous solution (pH 7.1)) as the water soluble drugs, using 0.5 wt % of a glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]), 0.5 wt % of Span 80, and KF995 as an oily base material, at the ratio of the water soluble liquid and the oily base material to be 80/20, and using these water soluble drugs as aqueous solutions having predetermined concentrations listed in the parentheses. The obtained results are listed in Table 7.
As can be seen from Table 7, stable water-oil dispersion gels were capable of being prepared even when any one of the water-soluble drugs was contained. The L-ascorbic acid aqueous solution is acidic (pH about 2.0) and the L-ascorbic acid-2-phosphate trisodium salt aqueous solution is basic (pH about 8.4), and thus it was determined that the water-oil dispersion gels were capable of being prepared in a wide pH range.
<SEM observation of KF995 xerogel and 50% of EtOH gel of glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8])>
A KF995 gel was prepared by adding 0.25 wt % of the gelator (Compound [8]) prepared in Example 1. Thereafter, the xerogel obtained by vacuum-drying the prepared gel on a carbon tape for 24 hours was observed with the scanning electron microscope (SEM).
Furthermore, 50% of ethanol gel (ethanol/water=50/50 (vol/vol)) to which 0.1 wt % of the gelator was added was prepared. Thereafter, the gel was placed on a carbon tape and dried under reduced pressure of 80 Pa to observe with SEM.
The obtained results are illustrated in
From the SEM images illustrated in
<SEM observation of water-KF995 dispersion gel containing 1% of Tween 20 and a glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8])>
Subsequently, a water-KF995 dispersion gel containing 1% of Tween 20, which was prepared using the gelator (Compound [8]) prepared in Example 1, was observed with SEM.
The water-KF995 dispersion gel was prepared by using 2 wt % of the gelator and blending 1% of Tween 20. Thereafter, the gel was placed on a carbon tape and observed under SEM under reduced pressure of 80 Pa. The obtained results are illustrated in
From the SEM images illustrated in
Gel forming ability for various ionic liquids was evaluated using Compound [8] synthesized in Example 1 as a gelator.
The glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) was poured into a 4 mL screw tube so that the concentration of the gelator reached the predetermined concentration and individual various ionic liquids listed in Table 8 was added thereto, followed by heating the resultant mixture at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The obtained solution was cooled to room temperature and allowed to stand for 1 hour. The formation of gel was determined by turning the screw tube upside down. The results are listed in Table 8.
The ionic liquids (cationic species/anionic species) used in the following Examples are as follows.
<Cationic Species>
EtMeIm: 1-Ethyl-3-methyl-imidazolium ion
BuMeIm: 1-Butyl-3-methyl-imidazolium ion
BuPy: N-butyl pyridinium ion
HeMeIm: 1-Hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium ion
P13: N-methyl-N-propyl pyrrolidinium ion
TMPA: N, N, N-trimethyl-N-propylammonium ion

TFSI: Bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ion
PF6: Hexafluorophosphate ion

CF3SO3: Trifluoromethanesulfonate ion
BF4: Tetrafluoroborate ion
As shown in Table 8, the gelator of the present invention was recognized as to be capable of forming the gels of the various ionic liquids.
The gel formed from the ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI] in which the glucose derivative: Compound [8] was blended at 2 wt % or 3 wt % had self-sustainable hardness (a self-supporting property) (refer to
Compound [8] synthesized in Example 1 was used as a gelator and the gelator was added to the ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI] at various concentrations. The resultant mixture was heated at 100° C. for 30 minutes. The obtained solution was poured into the measuring cell of an electric conductivity meter and allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to measure electric conductivity.
The obtained results are listed in Table 9.
Electric Conductivity Measurement Procedure
<Measuring Equipment>
Compact electric conductivity meter LAQUAtwin B-771, manufactured by HORIBA, Ltd.
As shown in Table 9, the electric conductivity of the ionic liquid gels obtained by using the gelator of the present invention did not significantly lower and the value of the electric conductivity of the gels were almost equal to that of the ionic liquid (gelator concentration 0 wt %).
Into a 4 mL screw thread sample tube, the ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI] and squalane were added at a ratio of 50/50 (vol/vol) and the glucose derivative type gelator (Compound [8]) were poured so that the concentration of the gelator reached 2 wt %. Into another 4 mL screw thread sample tube, the ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI] and squalane were added at a ratio of 50/50 (vol/vol) and Compound [8] as a gelator and Tween 20 were poured so that the concentrations of these components reached 0.25 wt % and 2 wt %, respectively.
The sample tube containing the mixed solution including the gelator was heated for 30 minutes to dissolve the mixed components. Thereafter, shearing was applied using a vortex mixer and, thereafter, the resultant mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 hour to observe the dispersion state. A state where, after the mixture was allowed to stand to cool, the fluidity of the solution was lost and the solution did not flow down even when the sample tube was turned upside down and where the ionic liquid and squalane were uniformly dispersed was determined to be an “ionic liquid/oil dispersion gel”.
The result showed that the ionic liquid/oil dispersion gel (emulsion gel) was capable of being formed in both cases where the gelator [Compound [8]] was used alone and where the gelator and the surfactant (Tween 20) were used in combination in the preparation of the ionic liquid-squalane dispersion gel.
<Identification of Dispersed Phase and Continuous Phase of Ionic Liquid Gel Emulsion Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope>
A gel emulsion of [BuMeIm][TFSI]/squalane=50/50 (vol/vol) blended with Rhodamine B containing 2 wt % of Compound [8] was prepared in the same manner as above using 10 μM of Rhodamine B blended ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI]. The gel emulsion was observed with the confocal laser scanning microscope. The obtained result is illustrated in
Similarly, a gel emulsion of ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI]/squalane=50/50 (vol/vol) blended with Rhodamine B containing 0.25 wt % of Compound [8] and 2 wt % of Tween 20 as a surfactant was prepared. The obtained gel emulsion was observed with the confocal laser scanning microscope. The obtained result is illustrated in
In
As illustrated in
<Measurement of Electric Conductivity of Ionic Liquid Gel Emulsion>
For each of the above gel emulsions of ionic liquid [BuMeIm][TFSI] and squalane in a ratio of 50/50 (vol/vol) formed by blending 2 wt % of Compound [8] or blending 0.25 wt % of Compound [8] and 2 wt % of Tween 20, electric conductivity was measured in accordance with the procedure of [Example 9: Measurement of electric conductivity].
The result showed that the electric conductivity of the gel emulsion containing the gelator (Compound [8]) alone was 0 μS/cm, whereas the electric conductivity of the gel emulsion when the gelator and the surfactant (Tween 20) were used in combination was 1.67 mS/cm.
Together with the observation result of the confocal laser scanning microscope, it was determined that the gel emulsion including Compound [8] alone having an electric conductivity of 0 μS/cm was an IL/O emulsion, so that the electric conduction property due to the ionic liquid was shielded. On the other hand, it was determined that the gel emulsion including Compound [8] and Tween 20 was the O/IL emulsion and showed an electric conduction property (1.67 mS/cm) even in the gel emulsion state.
The gel forming ability in the fine particle dispersion system was evaluated using Compound [8] prepared in Synthesis Example 1 as a gelator.
As the fine particles, silicone-treated (methyl hydrogen polysiloxane-treated) powders (trade name: Talc DN-SH, Titanium DN-SH (2) (fine particle component: titanium oxide), and Sericite DN-MC (2) (fine particle component: mica), DN-HAP (SH) (fine particle component: hydroxyapatite), all products were manufactured by Dainihon Kasei Co., Ltd.) were used.
Into a screw thread sample tube, Compound [8] (10 mg or 20 mg) prepared in Synthesis Example 1 as a gelator, the above various fine particles (50 mg, or 50 mg or 100 mg in the case of Titanium DN-SH (2)), and KF995 (1 mL) were poured. After the resultant mixture was heated at 80° C. for 30 minutes, the sample tube was allowed to cool for 1 hour at room temperature. The formation of gel was determined by turning the screw tube upside down. The results are listed in Table 10.
As shown in Table 10, it was determined that gelation was also possible even in the system in which the various fine particles were dispersed.
Into a screw thread sample tube, Compound [8] (40 mg) as a gelator; KF995 (1 mL); and water, an L-ascorbic acid aqueous solution (20% of an aqueous solution), an L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate trisodium salt aqueous solution (40% of an aqueous solution), or a glycine aqueous solution (18% of an aqueous solution) (each of the materials was poured in an amount of 1 mL) were poured to prepare a sample. In addition, silicone-treated fine particles Titanium DN-SH (2) (100 mg or 200 mg) was further added to prepare samples (a ratio of KF995 and the aqueous media such as water: 50/50 (vol/vol)). Each of the obtained samples was heated at 80° C. for 30 minutes and subsequently shaken with a vortex mixer for 3 minutes. Thereafter, the resultant mixture was allowed to cool for 1 hour at room temperature to determine formation of gels. The results are listed in Table 11.
As shown in Table 11, it was determined that gel emulsion formation was possible in any of the systems.
Preparation of a high internal phase ratio gel emulsion (emulsion having a very large volume fraction of dispersed phase) was examined when the ratio of KF995 and water was set to 20/80 (vol/vol).
Into a screw thread sample tube, Compound [8] (10 mg) as a gelator; KF995 (0.4 mL); water, an L-ascorbic acid aqueous solution (20% of an aqueous solution), an L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate trisodium salt aqueous solution (40% of an aqueous solution), or a glycine aqueous solution (18% of an aqueous solution) (each of the materials was poured in an amount of 1.6 mL); and silicone-treated fine particles Titanium DN-SH (2) (100 mg or 200 mg) and Span 80 (10 mg) were poured to prepare a sample (only in the case of water, a sample to which Span 80 was not blended was prepared). Each of the obtained samples was heated at 80° C. for 30 minutes and subsequently shaken with a vortex mixer for 3 minutes. Thereafter, the resultant mixture was allowed to cool for 1 hour at room temperature to determine formation of gels. The results are listed in Table 12.
As shown in Table 12, it was determined that in the system in which the ratio of KF995 and the aqueous medium was 20/80 (vol/vol), high internal phase ratio gel emulsions were capable of being prepared by blending Span 80.
<Observation of Fine Particle Dispersion Gel Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope>
A gel emulsion of KF995/water=20/80 (vol/vol) prepared by blending 0.5 wt % of Compound [8] as a gelator, 0.5 wt % of Span 80, and 5 wt % of the silicone-treated fine particles Titanium DN-SH (2) was observed with the confocal laser scanning microscope. The obtained result is illustrated in
From the results of above <Water-KF995 dispersion gel preparation test> and <Identification of dispersed phase and continuous phase of dispersion gel using confocal laser scanning microscope> in [Example 6], it has been determined that the water-KF995 dispersion gel blended with Span 80 formed the W/O emulsion (the dispersed phase is the aqueous phase and the continuous phase is the KF995 phase).
As shown in
In accordance with the following Table 13, the whole amount of Component (A) was stirred and mixed for 15 minutes with an automatic mortar (Type ANM-1000, manufactured by NITTO KAGAKU CO., Ltd.). Except for Compound [8], every material used in the test was purchased from Orange Flower Co., Ltd. and these materials were used. Thereafter, each of Components (B) (Formulation 1 to Formulation 3 were heated and melted) prepared by stirring and mixing in advance was added and the resultant mixture was further mixed for 15 minutes. The obtained powder was poured into a compact case (model number: cp-23, manufacturer: Orange Flower Co., Ltd.) and the powder was compacted using a flat plate.
The appearance of the foundation obtained by putting the foundation in the compact case is illustrated in
