(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an amine derivative which has excellent preventing effects (wrinkle preventing and improving effect, pigmentation preventing and improving effect, etc.) on aging of the skin, and improving effects (keratonosis improving effect, pimple preventing and improving effect, etc.) on cutaneous aberration caused by abnormal keratinization, and an external skin care composition containing such an amine derivative.
BACKGROUND ART
In the skin, balance between cell growth and keraninization is destroyed by external irritation such as ultraviolet rays, aging, etc., and so its healthy formation is prevented to induce pachymenia and keratonosis.
As a method for preventing and improving cutaneous aberration, it has heretofore been conducted to apply a moisturizer, blood circulation accelerator or pigmentation preventing agent to the skin. However, the homeostasis that a living body possesses has not been sufficiently improved.
Various compositions and methods have been proposed for preventing or removing wrinkles (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. 185005/1987, WO 94/21595, etc.). However, it has been desired to develop compounds which exhibit far excellent effects.
It is accordingly an object of the present invention to provide a novel compound having excellent effects of preventing the occurrence of wrinkles and removing the wrinkles, preventing and improving pigmentation, improving keratinization, and preventing and improving pimple, and the like, and an external skin care composition containing such a compound.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

wherein
R 1 is a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms, which may be interrupted by an ether linkage, with the proviso that phenyl and benzyl groups are excluded;
one of A and B is
and the other of them is —OR 4 ;
R 2 and R 3 are the same or different from each other and are individually a hydrogen atom, an amidino group, an alkanoyl group or a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, which may have 1 to 3 substituent groups selected from hydroxyl, alkoxy and carboxyl groups, or R 2 and R 3 may form a 5- or 6-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycle together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, or R 3 and R 4 , or R 3 and R 5 may be bonded to each other through a carbonyl group to form an oxazolidone ring;
R 4 and R 5 are the same or different from each other and are individually a hydrogen atom or a phosphoryl group, or R 4 or R 5 may form the oxazolidone ring together with R 3 ; and
n is a number of 0 or 1, or a quaternary ammonium salt or acid-addition salt thereof.
According to the present invention, there is also provided an external skin care composition comprising the amine derivative represented by the general formula (1), or a quaternary ammonium salt or acid-addition salt thereof.
The compound according to the present invention has a structural feature that the oxygen atom is present adjacently to R 1 in the general formula (1). When the external skin care composition comprising the compound (1) is used, aging of the skin is prevented (prevention and improvement of wrinkles, prevention and improvement of pigmentation, etc.), cutaneous troubles caused by abnormal keratinization are improvement (improvement of keratinization, prevention and improvement of pimple).

EXAMPLES
Synthesis Example 1
Synthesis (Synthetic Process A) of Compound (1a-1) and Compound (1b-1):
(1) Synthesis of 2,3-epoxy-4-tridecyloxy-1-butanol:
A flask was charged with sodium hydride (19.2 g, 50 mmol) and N,N-dimethylformamide (75 g) in a nitrogen atmosphere, to which butenediol (75.3 g, 0.86 mol) was added under ice cooling. The resultant mixture was then heated to 60° C., and an alkyl halide (1-bromotridecane (76 g, 28.9 mmol)) was added dropwise over 2 hours. Under the same conditions, the resultant mixture was stirred for 1 hour and then cooled to room temperature, to which water was added to conduct extraction with n-hexane. The resultant organic layer was washed with saturated saline, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The resultant filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and then distilled under reduced pressure to obtain 4-tridecyloxy-2-buten-1-ol (64.4 g, 82%).
A flask was charged with the thus-obtained 4-tridecyloxy-2-buten-1-ol (5.0 g, 18.5 mmol) and methylene chloride (25 ml), to which m-chloroperbenzoic acid (5.5 g, 1.2 eq.) was added under ice cooling. The resultant mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. An aqueous solution of sodium thiosulfate was added, extraction was conducted with chloroform, and the resultant organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and then filtered. The resultant filtrate was purified by column chromatography on basic alumina and silica gel to obtain the title compound.

Test Example 1
Investigation as to transglutaminase activity of epidermic keratinocyte:
Epidermic keratinocytes cultured in a vegetative state in a petri dish were used. A medium in each well was removed by suction, and K-GM (10 ml), to which no pituitary extract was added, was added to conduct medium exchange. Thereafter, each amine derivative (10 μl) obtained above was added. After 24 hours, each well was washed 3 times with PBS(−), and cells were than separated and recovered by a rubber policeman. The resultant cell suspension was centrifuged for 10 minutes at 2,500 rlmin to recover sediment. Buffer (a) [10 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffer, 10 mmol/L DTT, 0.5 mmol/L EDTA; pH 7.4; 200 ul] was added to the sediment to conduct sonication with ultrasonic wave for 1 minute twice. The resultant suspension was supercentrifuged for 30 minutes at 25,000 r/min to obtain a supernatant. After this supernatant was divided into equal portions, a reactive solution [solution obtained by mixing 300 mmol/L Tris-HCl buffer, pH 8.1; 60 mmol/L CaCl 2 (100 μl); 30 mmol/L DTT (100 μl); distilled water (100 μl) containing dimethylcasein (540 μg); 12 mmol/L putrescine (50 μl); 2.5 μCi [ 14 C] putrescine (50 μl); and distilled water (100 μl)] was added to each portion to conduct incubation at 37° C. for 1 hour. After 10% trichloroacetic acid was then added to leave the resultant mixture at rest for 30 minutes, sediment (200 μl) was recovered through a nitrocellulose membrane having a pore size of 0.45 μm. After this membrane was washed with ice-cooled 5% trichloroacetic acid (15 ml) [containing 1% putrescine], radioactivity on the membrane was counted by a liquid scintillation counter. Transglutaminase activities when the respective amine derivatives (1) were added are illustrated in terms of a proportion regarding the activity of a control as 100% in FIGS. 1 and 2. As apparent from the results, the amine derivatives (1) according to the present invention have a transglutaminase activating effect.

Test Example 3
Investigation as to effect of amine derivatives (1) on experimental formation of comedo by tetradecane:
Auriclar inner skins of New Zealand white rabbits (male, weight: 2.0 to 2.5 kg) were used. Each of 50% Tetradecane (squalane solution) and 50% tetradecane (squalane solution) containing each amine derivative (0.01%) was applied in an amount of 0.3 ml to the skin continuously for 2 weeks once a day. After 2 weeks, an area of a follicular efflorescence (experimental comedo) was measured by means of a surface microscope. As controls, were used a case (no application) where no application was conducted and a case (control) where 50% tetradecane containing no amine derivative (1) was only applied. The results are shown in FIG. 3 . It is understood that the amine derivatives (1) inhibit the formation of the experimental comedo.
Test Example 4
Investigation as to effect of amine derivatives (1) on wrinkles formed on hairless mice by exposure to UVB:
Hairless mice (HR/ICR, aged 9 weeks at the beginning of the experiment) were exposed to UVB 3 times a week by using 6 Toshiba healthy lamps, 20SE. The amount of energy was measured by means of a UV-Radiometer, UVR-305/365D manufactured by TOKYO OPTICAL K.K. The dose upon one exposure was determined to be 1 MED or less, i.e., 65 mJ in an amount of energy of 0.28 mW/cm 2 . The exposure was effected for 20 weeks. After confirming that the hairless mice had got wrinkles at their backs, they were divided into groups each consisting of 8 mice. Ethanol solutions separately containing amine derivatives (1) in an amount of 0.025% were applied 5 times a week to their corresponding groups of mice over 6 weeks in a dose of 80 μl. As a control, ethanol containing no amine derivative was applied like the samples. After completion of the application, the degree of wrinkles was visually observed to evaluate the samples in accordance with the following standard (wrinkle index). The results are shown in Table 13.
(Wrinkle index)
1: Wrinkles were completely removed or smoothed;
2: Wrinkles were scarcely observed;
3: Wrinkles were somewhat observed;
4: Wrinkles were observed to a great extent.
In order to further analyze the particulars of wrinkles, skin replicas of the size of 1 cm in diameter were gathered from 3 portions of each of the mice using a Hydrophilic Exaflex hydrophilic vinylsilicone impression material. Each of these replicas was held horizontally and illuminated at an angle of 30 degrees from the horizontal direction, thereby finding a proportion of shadows of the wrinkles as an area percent by means of an image analyzer. The results are shown in Table 13.
