Description

{WHITENING FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENTS MADE FROM CINNAMIC ACID}

Relates to cinnamoyl dipeptide derivatives The present invention relates to a whitening functional derivatives prepared from cinnamic acid, and more particularly, to N of formula (1) below - cinnamoyl acid derivative N of the formula (2).

The N -cinnamoyl amino acid derivative and N -cinnamoyl dipeptide according to the present invention have a whitening effect by inhibiting tyrosinase enzyme activity and can be provided for the use of whitening functional cosmetics.

[Chemical Formula 1]

(2)

Wherein R ¹ represents H, C ₁ -C ₅ alkyl, halogen, methoxy, ethoxy, hydroxy, amino, aromatic or heteroaromatic group. R ² and R ³ represent H, C ₁ -C ₅ alkyl, -CH ₂ CH ₂ COOH, -CH ₂ CH ₂ CH ₂ COOH, aromatic or heteroaromatic group.

The pigment that determines the color of skin is composed of dark brown melanin, which is formed in the basal layer of the epidermis, red hemoglobin of the blood vessels of the dermis carrying oxygen to cells and tissues, and subcutaneous It is the yellow carotene of the tissue.

Of these, hyperpigmentation of melamine causes freckles and stains in human skin. The main cause of the production of melamine is ultraviolet rays, and melamine is generated from tyrosinase activation triggered by ultraviolet rays.

Therefore, a large whitening effect can be obtained by using a tyrosinase inhibitor capable of inhibiting the activation of tyrosinase and an ultraviolet absorber that protects skin from ultraviolet rays for skin whitening effect.

In the ultraviolet ray (UV) having a wavelength of 280 to 400 nm, the ultraviolet ray of the UV-A region having a wavelength of 320 to 400 nm induces skin tanning and causes continuous loss of skin elasticity and wrinkles, Lt; / RTI >

Ultraviolet light in the UV-B region with a wavelength of 280 to 320 nm causes skin erythema and burns. These ultraviolet rays interfere with the natural skin tanning, and initiate the erythema reaction or seriously damage the skin by causing phototoxicity or photoallergic reaction.

Therefore, if the ultraviolet absorber or scattering agent is used to block ultraviolet rays or the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme that triggers melamine production by ultraviolet rays, can be inhibited, a large whitening effect can be obtained by preventing melamine hyperpigmentation.

In general, ultraviolet absorbers that absorb ultraviolet rays and convert them to heat are synthetic organic chemical compounds such as benzophenone derivatives, paraanobenzoic acid derivatives, methoxycinnamic acid, and salicylic acid derivatives. Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide scatter ultraviolet rays Is used as an ultraviolet screening agent (or scattering agent).

In recent years, gallinergic, quercetin, rutin, Kempferol, 3-hydroxyflavone, kuwonon, berberine, cyanidin, catechin, naringenin and hesperitins having ultraviolet absorption properties from natural products have been extracted and studied as a cosmetic ultraviolet absorber (KD Kim, J. Soc. Cosmet., Scientists Korea, 2004, 30 (1), 117-122).

As a whitening agent, ascorbic acid and its derivatives have a strong stability to the human body due to strong reducing action, but the efficiency is not so high. In contrast, tyrosinase inhibitors have been actively studied as other whitening agents (Lee, HW, et al., 2006, Veronique, del Marmol et al., Tyrosinase and related proteins in mammalian pigmentation, FEEBS, 381 ), 165-168, 1996).

Tyrosinase is a copper-containing metal enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of tyrosine and phenols by oxygen. It is present in most plant and animal tissues and is known to be involved in the formation of melanin pigmentation in animal tissues and the darkening of cut parts of mushrooms, potatoes, apples and the like.

Tyrosinase has an active oxy-tyrosinase with a divalent copper ion and an inactive deoxy-tyrosinase with a monovalent copper ion. The active form oxidizes tyrosine to make melamine, itself is reduced to an inactive form, It receives oxygen from the cells and becomes active again.

Tyrosinase inhibitors that inhibit melamine production are used as commercially useful skin and hair lightening agents. Hydroquinone derivatives such as arbutin and kojic acid derivatives such as kojic acid dipalmitate and kojic acid tripeptide are particularly popular.

Also, as a tyrosinase inhibitor, cycloalkane derivatives, chalcone derivatives, N-benzyl benzamide, stilbene derivatives, procyanidin derivatives, butyne derivatives, alkylfuran, centauridine, chlorophorin, and Magnolysin have been studied.

However, hydroquinone derivatives are cytotoxic to melanocytes and are not allowed to be used as cosmetic compositions in Europe, Japan and South Africa, and are very sensitive to oxidation and are difficult to stabilize in cosmetic formulations.

(5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-4-pyranone) is an inhibitor of tyrosinase that chelates the copper atom of tyrosinase to inhibit the catalytic action and is used as a commercial skin and hair lightening agent, And the like.

Therefore, development of a whitening functional composition having an ultraviolet blocking effect that induces melanin generation and inhibiting melanin formation, which is safe and easy to manufacture as a cosmetic composition, and which has no side effects, has emerged as an important task.

On the other hand, cinnamic acid is a compound represented by the formula C ₉ H ₈ O ₂ , which is also referred to as cinnamic acid and cinnamic acid. It is a colorless needle-like crystal with a weak orientation. It is present in the form of a free state or in the form of an ester in the broth (cassia), Peruvian balsam, and small-bodied oil.

It is conceivable that the phenyl group and the carboxy group are on the opposite side to the double bond, and the cis-type isomer on the same side, but there is a stable trans-form in nature. It can also be obtained by condensing benzaldehyde and acetic anhydride in the presence of potassium acetate.

Shin-Nam-san is used as an ester in fragrances and cosmetics, and as an acid in alkaline neutralizing agents in soaps. Also, octyl methoxycinnamate and butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, derivatives of cinnamic acid, are typical ultraviolet absorbers and are used in many products.

Accordingly, various derivatives prepared from Shin-Nam San have been developed as whitening functional compositions, for example, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenylacetic acid, 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid, or 3,4,5- Ester compounds of trimethoxyhydrocinnamic acid and whitening cosmetic compositions containing them (Patent Registration No. 10-0457949), tetrahydroxycinnamate and tetrahydroxyamide derivatives, a process for their preparation and a whitening skin external preparation containing the same (Registered patent publication No. 10-1123609), a hydroxycinnamic acid derivative compound, a process for producing the same, and a cosmetic composition containing the same (Patent Publication No. 10-0657465).

Also, it can be seen that Shin-Nansan derivatives have whitening function even in a paper by Yan Shi (2005).

In the present invention, novel N - cinnamoyl amino acids and metal salts thereof and N - cinnamoyldipeptides and metal salts thereof were prepared from cinnamic acid having an excellent ultraviolet ray absorbing effect, and their whitening effect was tested to complete the present invention.
