7.Description:
(en)This is a Division of application Ser. No. 11/289,551 filed Nov. 30, 2005. The disclosure of the prior application is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


BACKGROUND
This non provisional application claims the benefit of French Application No. 04 52821 filed on Nov. 30, 2004 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/638,371 filed on Dec. 27, 2004.
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a cosmetic composition comprising the use of sulfamides and derivatives thereof in the field of skincare and for example as a skin moisturizer, to novel sulfamide derivatives and to cosmetic compositions containing them.
The stratum corneum, which forms the interface with the dehydrating external environment, serves for example to delay the excessive loss of water originating from the deeper layers of the epidermis. The stratum corneum also protects against mechanical attack and the passage of chemical products and foreign microorganisms. It also constitutes the first line of defence against UV radiation.
The stratum corneum, which is 10 μm thick, is composed of vertically stacked corneocytes surrounded with a matrix of lipid-enriched membranes. Thus, it is a two-compartment system that may be compared with a brick wall, composed of anuclear cells (the “bricks”) and of intercellular lamellar membranes (the “cement”).
Urea is one of the ingredients widely used in moisturizing formulations. However, it can greatly modify the skin barrier by increasing the transepidermal water loss (TWL), which significantly reduces the barrier function of the stratum corneum.
Glycerol, another reference active agent in this field, has the drawback of making formulations tacky when it is used at high concentration.
There is thus a need to find alternative solutions in the field of skin moisturization.
The inventors have discovered that certain sulfamide derivatives of general formula (I) described below may be good moisturizers and may have a beneficial effect in terms of elasticity on the stratum corneum.
Thus, in one exemplary embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a cosmetic composition comprising the use of compounds of general formula (I):

The methods for synthesizing the novel compounds of formulae (II), (III) and (IV), respectively, are detailed below.
The compounds of formula (II) may be prepared according to scheme 2 below:









The compounds (II) may be obtained in two ways:
either using sulfamide by reacting one mole of silyl amine of formula (VI), for example in a polar solvent such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or pyridine, for example at a temperature of between 0 and 140° C. in the presence or absence of a catalytic amount of base, for instance diazabicycloundecene, to give the compounds of formula (V), followed by a second addition of one mole of amine R 11 NH 2 , for example under similar conditions,
or using chlorosulfonyl isocyanate by performing a sequential addition of tert-butanol and of silyl amine of formula (VII), for example, in a solvent such as dichloromethane or ethyl acetate, for example between 0 and 20° C. in the presence of a base, for instance triethylamine or pyridine, in order to obtain a dissymmetric sulfamide in which the NH 2 group, protected in the form of tert-butoxycarbonyl, is released by means of an acidic treatment with, for example, hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid; compound (II) may then be formed via addition of one mole of amine of formula R 11 NH 2 in a polar solvent such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or pyridine, for example at a temperature of between 0 and 140° C. and in the presence or absence of a catalytic amount of base, for instance diazabicycloundecene.
The compounds of formula (III) may be prepared according to scheme 3 below:









Chlorosulfonyl isocyanate is sequentially reacted with one mole of tert-butanol, followed by one mole of amine of formula (IX) in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or pyridine, for example in a solvent such as dichloromethane or ethyl acetate, for example at a temperature of between 0 and 20° C. The N-protected compound of formula (VIII) in tert-butoxycarbonyl form is then deprotected in acidic medium with, for example, hydrochloric acid or trifluoroacetic acid, for example at room temperature, to give the compounds of formula (III).
The compounds of formula (IV) may be prepared according to scheme 4, which is a particular form of scheme 1:









The amines (or diamines) of respective formulae (X) and (XI) chosen to give the compounds of formula (IV) are reacted (sequentially for the dissymmetric compounds) with an electrophilic source of SO 2 , such as sulfamide H 2 NSO 2 NH 2 , sulfuryl chloride SO 2 Cl 2 , or sulfonylbis(2-oxazolidine), in a suitable solvent (for example, respectively, acetonitrile, pyridine or dimethylformamide for sulfamide, or, for example, dichloromethane or tetrahydrofuran for sulfuryl chloride), for example at a temperature ranging from 0 to 140° C. in the presence or absence of a base, for instance diazabicycloundecene, triethylamine or pyridine.

Cosmetic Formulations
In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention relates to a cosmetic composition comprising a compound of formula (I) as described above, with the exclusion of N,N′-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)sulfamide, in a physiologically acceptable medium, for example at a non-alkaline pH.
In one exemplary embodiment, the present invention relate to a cosmetic composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium, for example at a non-alkaline pH, a compound of formula (I) as described above also comprising at least one additive chosen from an oil, a fatty substance, a gelling agent, a filler, a UV-screening agent, an odour absorber and a dyestuff.
These cosmetic compositions in which the compounds (I), (II), (III) or (IV) may be used are useful for non-therapeutic skincare and/or for making up the skin. They are useful for example for moisturizing the skin.
They may show their efficacy as a non-therapeutic, i.e. a preventive, skin maintenance treatment. They may also be used as a non-therapeutic skin treatment after the appearance of skin moisturization disorders.
In this second case, this appearance of skin moisturization disorders may be for example independent of irritation caused by the placing in contact of the skin with a bleaching agent, for example a chlorinated bleaching agent, for example based on hypochlorite.
In addition, the said cosmetic compositions may be for example not used for hygiene, purposes, and for example they preferably do not contain any detergent.
Finally, the cosmetic compositions of the invention may be for example formulated under non-alkaline conditions, for example at a pH close to that of the skin, for example at a pH of between 5 and 6.
The compounds of formula (I), (II), (III) or (IV) may be present in the cosmetic compositions in contents ranging from 0.01% to 20%, for example from 0.01% to 15% and for example from 0.1% to 10% by weight relative to the total weight of the cosmetic composition.
The compositions used according to the invention contain a physiologically acceptable medium, i.e. a medium that is compatible with skin tissues such as the skin and the scalp. This physiologically acceptable medium may consist for example of water and optionally of a physiologically acceptable organic solvent chosen, for example, from lower alcohols containing from 1 to 8 carbon atoms and for example from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, for instance ethanol, isopropanol, propanol or butanol; polyethylene glycols containing from 6 to 80 ethylene oxide units and polyols, for instance propylene glycol, isoprene glycol, butylene glycol, glycerol and sorbitol.

These compositions are prepared according to the usual methods.
In addition, the compositions used according to the invention may be more or less fluid and may have the appearance of a white or coloured cream, a pomade, a milk, a lotion, a serum, a paste or a mousse. They may be optionally applied to the skin in aerosol form. They may also be in solid form, for example in the form of a stick.

The other fatty substances that may be present in the oily phase are, for example, fatty acids containing from 8 to 30 carbon atoms, for instance stearic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid; waxes, for instance lanolin, beeswax, carnauba wax or candelilla wax, paraffin wax, lignite wax or microcrystalline waxes, ceresin or ozokerite, synthetic waxes such as polyethylene waxes, Fischer-Tropsch waxes; silicone resins such as trifluoromethyl-C1-4-alkyl dimethicone and trifluoropropyl dimethicone; and silicone elastomers, for instance the products sold under the name “KSG” by the company Shin-Etsu, under the name “Trefil”, “BY29” or “EPSX” by the company Dow Corning, or under the name “Gransil” by the company Grant Industries.
These fatty substances may be chosen in a varied manner by a person skilled in the art so as to prepare a composition having the desired properties, for example in terms of consistency or texture.
According to one exemplary embodiment of the invention, the composition according to the invention is a water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion. The proportion of the oily phase of the emulsion may range from 5% to 80% by weight and for example from 5% to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
The emulsions may contain at least one emulsifier chosen from amphoteric, anionic, cationic and nonionic emulsifiers, used alone or as a mixture, and optionally a co-emulsifier. The emulsifiers are chosen in a suitable manner depending on the emulsion to be obtained (W/O or O/W). The emulsifier and the co-emulsifier may be present in the composition in a proportion that may range, for example, from 0.3% to 30% by weight and for example from 0.5% to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition.
Examples of emulsifiers that may be mentioned for the W/O emulsions include dimethicone copolyols such as the mixture of cyclomethicone and of dimethicone copolyol, sold under the name “DC 5225 C” by the company Dow Corning, and alkyldimethicone copolyols, such as the laurylmethicone copolyol sold under the name “Dow Corning 5200 Formulation Aid” by the company Dow Corning, and the cetyldimethicone copolyol sold under the name “Abil EM 90®” by the company Goldschmidt. Surfactants for W/O emulsions that may also be used include a crosslinked elastomeric solid organopolysiloxane comprising at least one oxyalkylene group, such as those obtained according to the procedure of Examples 3, 4 and 8 of document U.S. Pat. No. 5,412,004 and of the examples of document U.S. Pat. No. 5,811,487, for example the product of Example 3 (synthesis example) of U.S. Pat. No. 5,412,004, and such as the product sold under the reference KSG 21 by the company Shin-Etsu.
Examples of emulsifiers that may be mentioned for the 0/W emulsions include nonionic emulsifiers such as oxyalkylenated (more particularly polyoxyethylenated) fatty acid esters of glycerol; oxyalkylenated fatty acid esters of sorbitan; oxyalkylenated (oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylenated) fatty acid esters; oxyalkylenated (oxyethylenated and/or oxypropylenated) fatty alcohol ethers; sugar esters, for instance sucrose stearate; and mixtures thereof, such as the mixture of glyceryl stearate and of PEG-40 stearate.
In a known manner, the cosmetic or dermatological composition of the invention may also contain adjuvants that are common in cosmetics or dermatology, such as gelling agents, film-forming polymers, preserving agents, solvents, fragrances, fillers, UV-screening agents, bactericides, odour absorbers, dyestuffs, plant extracts and salts. The amounts of these various adjuvants are those conventionally used in the field under consideration, for example from 0.01% to 20% of the total weight of the composition. Depending on their nature, these adjuvants may be introduced into the fatty phase and/or into the aqueous phase.

EXAMPLE 9
Evaluation of the Moisturizing Potential
Two tests were performed to evaluate the moisturizing potential of the compounds of the invention formulated in an aqueous 3% solution (except for compounds 9 and 15, which were evaluated in a solution of isopropyl N-lauroyl sarcosinate).
Dermometer, mechanical measurement of the plasticizing effect (described by J. de Rigal, J-L. Leveque, International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1982, 247-260),
Transepidermal Water Loss (TWL), evaluation of the changes in barrier function of the stratum corneum.
Dermometer
The tests carried out were performed under standard conditions on stratum corneum in a room with regulated temperature and humidity (T=30° C. and RH=75%). The modulus of elasticity measurements are performed on each control specimen and then 2 hours and 20 hours after application of the treatment. The relative variation in the modulus allows assessment of the plasticizing effect of the active agent on the stratum corneum.
Transepidermal Water Loss (TWL)
Transepidermal water loss is a physiological phenomenon of diffusion of water vapour across the horny layer. It results from the presence of a high pressure gradient of water vapour between the internal and external media of the body. The TWL depends on the integrity of the barrier function of the stratum corneum. The machine evaluating the TWL (Evaporimeter EP1, Servomed) measures the flow of water that diffuses passively across the stratum corneum (g/m 2 /h).
The isolated stratum is placed (inner face) on a water tank and equilibrated in a room regulated at 40% relative humidity (T=30° C.). Before the measurement, the stratum corneum is defatted via a two-hour treatment in a mixture of chloroform and methanol (2v/lv). For each measurement, the TWL is measured on the stratum corneum before treatment and then 2 and 20 hours after application of the treatment. The relative variation in the TWL allows assessment of the change in the barrier property of the stratum corneum. The measurements are analysed in pairs. For each product, 8 measurements are taken on 2 batches of stratum corneum.
The technique allows measurement of the flow of water that diffuses passively across a membrane of stratum corneum. This measurement takes into account the integrity of the barrier function of the stratum corneum. In the protocol used, the stratum corneum is defatted via a two-hour treatment in a mixture of chloroform and methanol (2v/lv). The measurements are taken on the control stratum corneum and then 2 hours and 20 hours after application of the product. The relative variation in the TWL allows assessment of the change in the barrier property of the stratum corneum.
