Description

  The present invention provides a polybasic compound mainly composed of component (A) phospholipid, component (B) cholesterol and phytosterol, component (C) cationic surfactant, component (D) basic amino acid. The present invention relates to a vesicle composition containing a peptide, and a skin external preparation and cosmetic containing the same.

Conventionally, as a method of blending a water-insoluble active ingredient into a skin external preparation or cosmetic, a method of dispersing the water-insoluble active ingredient as vesicle particles in an aqueous solvent has been widely used.
In general, vesicles are produced by dispersing a vesicle main component and an active ingredient in an aqueous solvent, and then subjecting the vesicle to ultrasonic treatment or high pressure treatment. Further, the main component of the vesicle is composed of a surfactant, and the aging stability of the vesicle itself depends on the intermolecular force of the surfactant. For this reason, vesicles are easily affected by the external environment and cause aggregation and the like, and the stability over time is not good. Therefore, the development of vesicles excellent in stability over time has been desired.

As an amphipathic substance that constitutes a vesicle for improving the vesicle stability with time, for example, a phospholipid derivative using a naturally occurring phospholipid as a raw material and having a 2-position acyl group as a residue of an unsaturated fatty acid is known. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
Moreover, as a technique for improving the aging stability of vesicles, cosmetics in which the average particle size is adjusted to 100 to 500 nm using hydrogenated soybean phospholipid having a phosphatidylcholine content of 90 wt% or more and an iodine value of 0.1 or less. A vesicle for food (see, for example, Patent Document 2), containing one or more vesicle film-forming substances selected from phospholipids, sucrose fatty acid esters and acylamino acid metal salts, and a water-soluble polymer A vesicle composition obtained by allowing a water-soluble polymer to be present at the time of vesicle formation and performing high-pressure treatment (for example, see Patent Document 3) has been known.

On the other hand, some active ingredients have low skin permeability, and a technique that can efficiently penetrate into the skin is also desired. For example, in a liposome composed of phospholipid, at least part of its structure is a substance or mixture thereof that promotes intracellular penetration of the active ingredient, wherein the substance or mixture thereof has the formula RN (R ₁ R ₂ R ₃ ) quaternized plant protein (where R is the symbol of the plant protein molecule; R ₁ and R ₂ are independently C1-C6 hydrocarbon groups, R ₃ Is an alkyl group having 10 to 18 carbon atoms) to increase intracellular penetration (see, for example, Patent Document 4).

[Skin permeability]
A three-dimensional skin model (TESTSKIN LSE) manufactured by Toyobo Co., Ltd. was placed on an aluminum tray so that PBS (pH 7.4) was moistened on the dermis side, and labeled with fluorescent cholesterol (25-NBD Chloresterol, manufactured by Avanti Polar Lipids). The Examples 1 to 11 and the Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were applied at 5 μg / cm ² and allowed to stand for 4 hours. Thereafter, the three-dimensional skin model was taken out and frozen, and then taken as a thin-layer slice, and photographed with a confocal laser microscope (FV-1000, manufactured by Olympus Corporation). The degree of penetration of the fluorescent material into the stratum corneum was calculated from the following formula, and determined using the following (b) four-step criteria. In addition, the penetration degree was calculated at 10 locations, and the average value thereof was calculated. All vesicle compositions were prepared using a mini-extruder (manufactured by Avanti Polar Lipids) to an average particle size of about 200 nm.

Permeation degree (%) = thickness penetrated by fluorescent cholesterol / total thickness of stratum corneum × 100

FIG. 1 shows the result of confocal laser microscope observation of a three-dimensional skin model of the vesicle composition of Example 1 of the present technology (the present invention), and the tip of a white arrow indicates the lowest layer of the stratum corneum. The left side of FIG. 1 is a photograph of a thin slice, and the white part of the right photograph is a photograph showing fluorescent cholesterol that has penetrated into the thin slice at the same site as the left photograph.
FIG. 2 shows the result of confocal laser microscope observation of the vesicle composition of Comparative Example 1 in a three-dimensional skin model, and the tip of the white arrow indicates the lowest layer of the stratum corneum. The left side of FIG. 2 is a photograph of a thin slice, and the white part of the right photograph is a photograph showing fluorescent cholesterol that has penetrated into the thin slice at the same site as the left photograph.
As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, the vesicle composition of the present technology (the present invention) was superior in penetration of fluorescent cholesterol throughout the stratum corneum as compared with the comparative example.
In addition, the vesicle composition of the present technology is also excellent in thermal stability, and even when there is a heating step during the manufacture of the products of Examples 13 to 16 (specifically, cosmetics or skin external preparations, etc.) In the obtained product, the function of the vesicle composition of the present technology can be satisfactorily exhibited.

(B) Four-stage criteria (Judgment): (Evaluation)
A: The penetration degree is 50% or more.
○: Penetration degree is 40% or more but less than 50%
Δ: Penetration degree is 30% or more but less than 40%
X: The degree of penetration is less than 30%

[Skin familiarity]
For each sample, the skin familiarity felt by 20 panelists who applied cosmetics on the inner side of the upper arm was scored on a 6-point scale based on the following absolute evaluation, and each panel was given a total score. The average value was calculated and judged according to the following four-step criteria.

Absolute Evaluation Criteria (Score): (Evaluation)
6 points: Feels very familiar with the skin 5 points: Feels familiar with the skin 4 points: Feels slightly familiar with the skin 3 points: Normal 2 points: Does not feel so familiar with the skin 1 point: Does not feel familiar with the skin Judgment): (Average score)
◎: Over 5 points ○: Over 3.5 points 5 points or less △: Over 2 points 3.5 points or less ×: 2 points or less

  As is apparent from the results of Tables 1 and 2, the vesicle compositions of Examples 1 to 11 of the present technology (the present invention) were excellent in all of the temporal stability, skin permeability, and skin familiarity. On the other hand, Comparative Example 1 containing neither N-cocoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester pyrrolidone carboxylate nor polylysine was insufficient in skin permeability and skin familiarity. In Comparative Example 2 which does not contain N-cocoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester pyrrolidone carboxylate, the stability of vesicles deteriorated with time, and agglomeration was not achieved. Comparative Example 3 containing no polylysine was not satisfactory particularly in terms of skin permeability.
