Description
The present invention relates to 3-benzylidenecamphor compounds containing a benzimidazole, benzoxazole or benzothiazole group, a process for preparing them and to their use in the cosmetic field for protection against ultraviolet radiation.
It is known that light radiation of wavelengths from 280 to 400 nm darken the human epidermis, and that radiation of wavelengths from 280 to 320 nm, known as UV-B, also induce erythema and cutaneous burns which can impair the development of the tan.
Compounds which absorb radiation in the wavelength range of from 280 to 320 nm are already known.
Nevertheless, while UV-B rays are known to have an essential role in the production of solar erythema, and are therefore desirably filtered out, UV-A rays of wavelengths from 320 400 nm, which induce darkening of the skin, also induce deterioration of the skin, especially in the case of sensitive skin or skin exposed continuously to solar radiation, and speed up the ageing of the skin. It has been found that UV-A rays can enhance the action of UV-B rays; see, for example, J. WILLIS, A. KLIGMAN and J. EPSTEIN, The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Vol. 59, No. 6, page 416, 1973, who refer to "photo augmentation". UV-A rays promote the initiation of the erythematous reaction or magnify this reaction in some subjects. Likewise, they can be at the source of phototoxic or photoallergic reactions.
It is also desirable to protect the hair from photochemical degradation, so as to avoid a change in shade, bleaching or degradation of its mechanical properties.
It is known that constituents which may be included in cosmetic preparations, especially certain dyes in dyeing compositions, colored hair lacquer, shampoos, hair setting lotions, and make-up products such as tinted creams, nail varnishes and lipsticks, do not always possess sufficient stability to light, and that they can be degraded through the action of light radiation.
In consequence, it is desirable to have compounds capable of absorbing UV-A rays and having a high absorbing power enabling them to be used at low concentrations in formulations, especially in cosmetic compositions intended for application on the human epidermis.
We have discovered that certain 3-benzylidenecamphor compounds containing a benzimidazole, benzoxazole or benzothiazole group surprisingly possess good UV-A filtering properties and also possess good photochemical stability.
Accordingly the present invention provides a compound of formula: ##STR2## wherein:
X is oxygen, sulphur or an --NR-- group, wherein R is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group;
R.sub.1 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, an --SO.sub.2 Cl or --SO.sub.2 NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group wherein R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, which may be identical or different, are hydrogen, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl group, or R.sub.1 is an --SO.sub.3 H or --SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. M.sup..sym. group wherein M is potassium or sodium or an N(R.sub.6).sup..sym..sub.4 group, wherein each R.sub.6, which may be identical or different, is hydrogen, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 hydroxyalkyl group;
R.sub.2 is hydrogen, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy group, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together are a methylenedioxy group;
R.sub.3 is hydrogen or an --SO.sub.3 H, --SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. M.sup..sym. or --SO.sub.2 NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 group wherein M, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, which may be the identical or different to the M, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 groups respectively above, have the same meanings as above.
The alkyl groups may be linear or branched. Examples of C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl and tert-butyl groups. Examples of alkoxy groups are methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy and n-butoxy groups. Examples of C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alkyl groups include those mentioned above for the C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups and hexyl and 2-ethylhexyl groups.
Depending on the nature of the R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.3 groups the compounds of formula I can be water-soluble or lipid soluble.
If R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.3 are an --SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. M.sup..sym. group wherein M is sodium, potassium or an ammonium or substituted ammonium group, the compounds according to the present invention are water soluble. In all other cases, they are soluble in oils or fats.
The compounds of formula I according to the invention have high molar absorption coefficients (.epsilon.), generally greater than 30,000 and often more than 40,000 at a wavelength of from approximately 320 to 350 nm.
The present invention also provides a process for preparing a compound of formula I.
If R.sub.3 is hydrogen, the process comprises, in a first stage, reacting 3-(4-formylbenzylidene)-2-bornanone and an ortho-phenylenediamine unsubstituted or substituted on one nitrogen atom and/or on the aromatic ring, or a 2-aminophenol or 2-aminothiophenol unsubstituted or substituted on the aromatic ring in a non-oxidizing medium, comprising an inert atmosphere and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alcohol or aromatic hydrocarbon solvent at a temperature from room temperature to the refluxing temperature of the reaction mixture to form a Schiff's base and, in a second stage, oxidative cyclizing the Schiff's base thereby formed to obtain the compound of formula I.
Examples of preferred aromatic hydrocarbons are toluene and xylene.
The oxidative cyclization is generally performed using benzoyl peroxide, N-bromosuccinimide, activated manganese dioxide, barium manganate or lead tetraacetate, but more advantageously under reflux in toluene in the presence of a catalytic amount of ferric chloride and with air bubbled through for ortho-phenylenediamines, or under reflux in xylene in the presence of chloranil and with air bubbled through for 2-aminophenols and 2-aminothiophenols.
The compounds of formula (I) in which R.sub.1 is an --SO.sub.2 Cl group may be obtained by chlorosulphonation of the corresponding compound of formula (I) in which R.sub.1 is hydrogen. The chlorosulphonation is generally performed at a temperature below or equal to 30.degree. C., in the presence of an excess of chlorosulphonic acid and optionally in a chlorinated solvent.
By alkaline hydrolysis with sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate of the chlorosulphonic derivative under reflux it is possible to obtain a compound of formula (I) in which R.sub.1 is an --SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. M.sup..sym. group in which M is sodium or potassium.
By exchanging the alkali metal ion present in the alkali metal sulphonate derivative, for example by ion exchange, the free sulphonic acid can be prepared. By neutralizing the free sulphonic acid with an equivalent amount of an amine or ammonia, it is possible to obtain a compound of formula (I) in which R.sub.1 is an --SO.sub.3.sup..crclbar. M.sup..sym. group in which M is an ammonium or substituted ammonium group.
Compounds of formula (I) in which X is an --NR-- group, wherein R is a linear or branched C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, may be obtained by alkylation of the corresponding compound of formula (I) in which X is an --NH-- group, generally using an alkyl iodide or a dialkyl sulphate in the presence of a base. The N-methyl derivative is more advantageously obtained by using dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal.
The compound of formula (I) in which R.sub.3 is an SO.sub.3 H group can be obtained by condensing 3-(4-carboxybenzylidene)-10-camphorsulphonic acid with an ortho-phenylenediamine unsubstituted or substituted on one nitrogen atom and/or on the aromatic ring, or with a 2-amihophenol or 2-aminothiophenol unsubstituted or substituted on the aromatic ring, in polyphosphoric acid or boric acid.
The compounds of formula (I) in which R.sub.1 and/or R.sub.3 are --SO.sub.2 NR.sub.4 R.sub.5 groups can be obtained from the corresponding chlorosulphonic compound by reacting it with ammonia, a primary or secondary alkylamine, or a primary or secondary hydroxyalkylamine.
The present invention also provides a cosmetic composition comprising, as a protective agent against ultraviolet rays, an effective amount of at least one 3-benzylidenecamphor derivative of formula (I) in a cosmetically acceptable medium.
The composition, when used as a composition intended to protect the epidermis against ultraviolet rays, can be in any form customarily used for this type of composition. In particular, it may be a solution, a lotion, an emulsion such as a cream or milk, a gel or a solid stick, or is packaged as an aerosol.
It can contain the cosmetic adjuvants customarily used in this type of composition, such as thickeners, demulcents, humectants, emollients, wetting agents, surfactants, preservatives, antifoams, perfumes, oils, waxes, colorings and/or pigments whose function is to color the composition itself or the skin, bactericides or any other ingredient customarily used in cosmetics.
The compound of formula (I) is preferably present in a porportion of from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably from 1 to 6% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
A solubilization solvent, such as a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 monohydric alcohol or polyol, a glycol or a glycol ether, an oil, a wax or a mixture thereof, or a hydroalcoholic solution, may be used. Especially preferred monohydric alcohols or polyols are ethanol, isopropanol and glycerin. Especially preferred glycols or glycol ethers are 2-butoxyethanol, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether and monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether and tripropylene glycol monomethyl ether and mixtures thereof.
One embodiment of the invention is an emulsion in the form of a protective cream or milk comprising, in addition to the compound of formula (I), fatty alcohols, fatty acid esters and, in particular, fatty acid triglycerides, fatty acids, lanolin, natural or synthetic oils, or waxes and water and an emulsifier.
Another embodiment consists of lotions such as oil-and-alcohol-based lotions, based on C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alcohols such as ethanol or a glycol such as propylene glycol and/or a polyol such as glycerin, and fatty acid esters such as fatty acid triglycerides.
The cosmetic composition of the invention can also be a hydroalcoholic or oil-and-alcohol-based gel comprising one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alcohols such as ethanol, propylene glycol or glycerin, and a thickener, in the presence of water or oil, respectively.
The present invention also provides a cosmetic composition for protection against sunlight comprising at least one compound of formula (I) and at least one other sunscreen agent specific for UV-B radiation and compatible with the compounds of the invention. It is thus possible to obtain a formulation which filters out both UV-B and UV-A radiation.
The compositions according to the invention may therefore comprise a UV-B screening agent such as a lipid-soluble compound or an oil having screening properties, such as coffee oil. Examples of lipophilic UV-B sunscreen agents are salicylic acid derivatives such as 2-ethylhexyl salicylate and homomenthyl salicylate, cinnamic acid derivatives such as 2-ethylhexyl p-methoxycinnamate and 2-ethoxyethyl p-methoxycinnamate, p-aminobenzoic acid derivatives such as amyl p-(dimethylamino)benzoate and 2-ethylhexyl p-(dimethylamino)benzoate, benzophenone derivatives such as 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone and 2,2'-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone, camphor derivatives such as 3-benzylidenecamphor, 3-(4-methylbenzylidene)camphor, the parasubstituted 3-benzylidenecamphors described in French Pat. Nos. 2,383,904, 2,402,647 and 2,421,878, and the sulphonamides derived from 3-benzylidenecamphor described in French Pat. No. 2,529,887, and more especially N-(2-ethylhexyl)-4-(3-methylidenecamphor) benzenesulphonamide and N-(2-ethylhexyl)-3-benzylidene-10-camphorsulphonamide.
Further examples of water-soluble sunscreen agents which filter out UV-B rays and are also capable of being combined with the lipid-soluble or water-soluble screening agents according to the invention provided they are compatible with these latter, include the benzylidenecamphor derivatives described in French Pat. Nos. 2,199,971, 2,236,515 and 2,282,426, and more especially 4-[(2-oxo-3bornylidehe)methyl]phenyltrimethylammonium methylsulphate and the salts of 4-[(2-oxo-3-bornylidene)methyl]benzenesulphonic acid and of 2-methyl-5-[(2-oxo-3-bornylidene)methyl]benzenesulphonic acid, as well as salts of 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulphonic acid.
The composition protecting against sunlight according to the invention can take the form of, for example, solutions, lotions, emulsions such as a cream or milk, oils, fatty gels, or hydroalcoholic or oil-and-alcohol-based gels, or can be packaged as an aerosol or as solid sticks. They may contain the abovementioned cosmetic adjuvants customarily used in this type of composition.
The compositions may be hair care compositions such as hair lacquers, setting lotions, optionally having treatment or disentangling properties, shampoos, coloring shampoos, hair dyeing compositions, make-up products such as nail varnishes, treatment creams for the epidermis, make-up foundations and lipsticks, or any other cosmetic composition which may be unstable to light during storage as a result of its constituents.

These compositions generally take the form of shampoos, lotions, gels or emulsions to be rinsed and for application before or after shampooing, before or after dyeing or bleaching, before or after permanent waving, styling or treatment lotions, lotions for blow-drying or setting, hair lacquers, and compositions for permanent waving, dyeing or bleaching the hair. These compositions may contain, in addition to the compound of formula (I), various adjuvants customarily used in this type of composition, such as surfactants, thickeners, polymers, demulcents, preservatives, foam stabilizers, electrolytes, organic solvents, silicone derivatives, oils, waves, grease-removal agents, colorings and/or pigments whose function is to color the composition itself or the hair, and any other ingredient customarily used in the hair care field.
When the compositions form shampoos, they preferably also contain at least one anionic, nonionic or amphoteric surfactant, or a mixture thereof and the compound of formula (I) in an aqueous medium. The shampoos can also contain different adjuvants such as cationic surfactants, colorings, preservatives, thickening agents, foam stabilizing agents, synergists, demulcents, electrolytes, sequestering agents, one or more cosmetic resins, perfumes, natural substances and oils, as well as any other adjuvant used in a shampoo. In these shampoos, the concentration of surfactant is generally from 2 to 50% by weight.
When the compositions form non-rinsed lotions (lotions for blow-drying, setting lotions, styling or treatment lotions) they preferably comprise, generally in aqueous, alcoholic or hydroalcoholic solution, in addition to the compound of formula (I), at least one cationic, anionic, nonionic or amphoteric polymer, or a mixture thereof, in an amount generally of from 0.1 to 10%, preferably from 0.1 to 3%, by weight, and optionally antifoaming agents.
When the compositions form rinsed lotions, also known rinses, they are applied before or after bleaching, before or after permanent waving, before or after shampooing or between two stages of shampooing, and are then rinsed after an exposure time.
These compositions can be aqueous or hydroalcoholic solutions optionally comprising surfactants, emulsions or gels. These compositions can also be pressurized as an aerosol.
The surfactants which can be used in the solutions are mainly nonionic or cationic surfactants. The concentration of surfactants preferably is from 0.1 to 10% by weight, and is preferably from 0.5 to 7% by weight.
Nonionic, cationic, anionic or amphoteric polymers can be added to these compositions, and optionally anionic or amphoteric surfactants.
When the compositions take the form of an emulsion, they can be nonionic or anionic. The nonionic emulsions consist principally of a mixture of oils and/or fatty alcohols and polyethoxylated fatty alcohols, such as polyethoxylated stearyl or cetyl/stearyl alcohols, in the presence of water. Cationic surfactants or cationic polymers can be added to these emulsions.
The anionic emulsions are formed from soaps and contain the compound or compounds of formula (I) of an anionic or nonionic nature.
When the compositions take the form of gels, they contain thickeners and optionally a solvent. Examples of such thickeners are sodium alginate, gum arabic, xanthan gum or cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose, hydroxyethycellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Thickening of the lotions can also be obtained by a mixture of polyethylene glycol and polyethylene glycol stearate or distearate, or by a mixture of phosphoric esters and amides. The concentration of thickeners is preferably from 0.1 to 30%, and more preferably from 0.5 to 15%, by weight.
The present invention also provides a process for protecting the skin and natural or sensitized hair against UV-A rays, which consists in applying on the skin or hair an effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I) contained in a cosmetically acceptable medium or a composition containing the compound of formula (I).
