Description: ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION ABSORBING WAXES USEFUL LN COSMETIC COMPOSITIONS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The invention generally relates to a class of salicylic acid esters and, more specifically, the invention relates to a class of diol-disalicylates useful as waxes, including cosmetic waxes, as ultraviolet radiation absorbers, and in the treatment of skin conditions including acne. Brief Description of Related Technology Cosmetic compositions generally are defined as compositions suitable for application to the human body. Cosmetic compositions such as creams and lotions are used to provide moisture to hair and skin and to keep skin in a smooth, supple condition. Pigmented cosmetic compositions such as makeup, blush, lipstick, and eyeshadow are used to color the skin and lips. In general, cosmetic emulsions are composed of a fatty phase, an aqueous phase, active materials and, optionally, pigments, preservatives, and ultraviolet radiation filters. Cosmetic compositions can also be anhydrous systems containing waxes, oils, and pigments. In the fatty phase, in addition to emulsifiers, oil components and antioxidants, consistency regulators are employed to increase the viscosity and thus to improve the consistency required for a stable emulsion system. Consistency regulators in water-in-oil emulsions include, for example, beeswax, paraffin, petroleum jelly, microcrystalline waxes, and metal stearates. In oil-in-water emulsions, it is customary to use spermaceti, fatty alcohols, and glycerofatty acid esters. Waxes are lower-melting organic mixtures or compounds of high molecular weight, solid at room temperature, and generally are similar in composition to fats and oils except that they contain no glycerides. They can be hydrocarbons or esters of fatty acids and alcohols. Waxes generally can be categorized as animal waxes, vegetable waxes, mineral waxes, natural waxes, synthetic waxes, petroleum waxes, ethylenic polymers, hydrocarbons such as Fischer-Tropsch waxes, silicone waxes, and mixtures thereof. Natural waxes traditionally used in cosmetic compositions include waxes of animal origin, e.g., beeswax, spermaceti, and lanolin (wool wax); waxes of vegetable origin, e.g. candelilla, carnauba, bayberry, and sugarcane wax; waxes of mineral origin, e.g. ceresin, montan, and ozokerite; and waxes of petroleum origin, e.g. paraffin and microcrystalline wax. Animal, plant, and some mineral waxes are primarily esters of a high molecular weight fatty alcohol with a high molecular weight fatty acid. Synthetic waxes include long chained polymers of ethylene oxide combined with a dihydric alcohol, namely polyoxyethylene glycol, (including carbowax), hydrocarbon waxes derived from carbon monoxide and hydrogen (Fischer-Tropsch synthesis waxes), and silicone waxes such as methyloctadecane-oxypolysiloxane and poly(dimethylsiloxy)stearoxysiloxane. Cosmetic waxes have an emollient effect on the skin, giving a film permeable for moisture (i.e. water vapor) and gas. Cosmetic waxes have, and impart, desired characteristics to a cosmetic composition such as structure, body, or hardness (e.g. in lipid-based materials such as lipsticks and hair pomades), high viscosity (e.g. to emulsions and suspensions), spreadability, long wear, and stability. Typically, cosmetic waxes will have a melting point in the range of about 32 °C to about 120 °C. Candelilla, a typical cosmetic wax, has a melting point of about 70 °C. Most waxes having a melting point of about 70 °C provide structure and hardness, but have a waxy, tacky, or grabby feel. Cosmetic compositions made with traditional cosmetic waxes may be prone to oil breakthrough, creasing, ruboff, and difficulty adhering to pigments. In addition, some natural waxes, such as beeswax, are in increasingly short supply. Synthetic waxes, although useful in some cosmetic applications, can also have undesirable tactile or compositional characteristics and also may be costly to produce. Beta-hydroxy acids (BHA's) also have been used in cosmetic compositions. BHA's include salicylic and citric acids, derivatives of salicylic acid, and their salts. BHA's are lipid soluble and penetrate to the thicker dermal skin layers located below the epidermis. BHA's are effective in exfoliating the lower dermal skin layers, which results in increased cell turnover and the production of new skin cells. It is known that salicylic acid esters and salicylic acid derivative esters, such as tridecyl salicylate, are broken down by esterases in human skin, releasing salicylic acid. It is also known that salicylic acid derivatives and their esters are effective in controlling, reducing and inhibiting oil and grease production by skin. Thus, BHA's are useful in the treatment of adult acne, reversing the effects of premature skin aging, reducing thin lines and wrinkles, and producing firmer, smoother-looking skin. PCT applications WO 93/10755 and WO 93/10756 report salicylic acid as an effective anti-wrinkling agent. U.S. Patent No. 5,262,407 reports use of ring acylated salicylic acid as a treatment against skin aging. Salicylic acid has also been described for the treatment of acne in U.S. Patent No. 4,891,227 and U.S. Patent No. 4,891,228. Moreover, salicylic acid has been used for the removal of warts, corns, and calluses; for the treatment of psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, and dandruff; and for the topical treatment of ringworm infection. Sunscreen agents also have been used in cosmetic compositions. Lengthy exposure of the skin to ultraviolet (UN) light typically damages the skin, resulting in sunburn, photoaging, and carcinogeneses. The results of photodamage may be identical to those of aging except that they appear at an accelerated rate. Wrinkling, yellowing, leatheriness, mottling, and hyperpigmentation are also associated with sun damage. UN light exposure in the presence of oxygen results in the creation of free radicals. In the skin, these radicals frequently trigger the release of inflammatory mediators, commonly manifested as sun burn, cytoskeletal alterations, breakdown of collagen in the skin, and may also result in structural DNA changes, such as DNA strand breaks and dimer formation. Sunscreen agents and sunscreen formulations for use on human skin are widely used and are available for diverse consumer needs. Different agents and formulations give different Sun Protection Factor (SPF) values, from 2-4 ("minimal" protection), 4-6 ("moderate" protection), 8-15 ("maximum" protection), and above 15 to indicate "ultra" sun protection. Sunscreen components include dioxybenzone (benzophenone- 8), ethylhexyl -methoxycinnamate (octyl methoxycinnamate), 2-ethylhexyl salicylate (octyl salicylate), oxybenzone (benzophenone-3), titanium dioxide, /7-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and PABA derivatives. Narious other sunscreen materials are found in "A Survey of Ultraviolet Absorbers in Commercially Available Sun Products," by Roelandts, et al., International Journal of Dermatology, Nol. 22, pages 247-55 (May 1985). Sunscreen compositions can also include a diester and/or polyester of a naphthalene dicarboxylic acid that photostabilizes sunscreen components. Traditional sunscreen compositions for use on human skin are liquids, solids that require solvation, or paniculate solids such as metal oxides. Incorporation of a sunscreen composition into a traditional cosmetic composition affects the physical characteristics of the cosmetic composition and creates obstacles to achieving desirable formulations. For example, incorporation of a liquid sunscreen composition, or a solid sunscreen composition in solution, lowers the viscosity and melting point of a cosmetic composition. As another example, metal oxide particulates, such as titanium dioxide, are difficult to maintain within a wax system due to their tendency to migrate out of the wax system. Ultraviolet (UN) radiation absorbers also have been used in cosmetic compositions to protect the product from chemical or physical deterioration induced by ultraviolet light. UN absorbers, like sunscreen agents, have the ability to convert incident ultraviolet radiation into less damaging infrared radiation (heat). UN absorbers include allantoin PABA, butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane, ethyl diisopropylcinnamate, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, and PABA. Various other UV absorbers can be found in the CTFA Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook, J.M. Nikitakis, Ed., 1st Edition (1988). Accordingly, a continuing need exists for compounds useful in cosmetic compositions which provide desirable structure, viscosity, and tactile characteristics. It would also be desirable to have compounds useful in cosmetic compositions which are useful in the treatment of skin conditions such as adult acne, improving the firmness and smoothness of skin, and protecting skin from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation.

Thus, another aspect of the invention is a combination of a compound of formula (I) and a wax, including a cosmetic wax. It has also been shown that the compounds of formula (I) block transmission of, absorb, or filter out ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Thus, a further aspect of the invention is a compound and method for blocking transmission of, absorbing, or filtering out UV radiation. The compounds of formula (I) also can be blended, layered, or admixed with other materials to impart UN blocking, UN absorbing, or UN filtering characteristics to those materials.

Thus, another aspect of the invention is compounds and methods for imparting UV blocking, UV absorbing, or UV filtration characteristics to a material. In particular, the compounds of formula (I) can be blended into suitable cosmetic compositions to provide protection to human skin against UV light in increased Sun Protection Factor (SPF) levels. Suitable cosmetic compositions include cosmetic compositions that can contain a wax, including, but not limited to, blushers, creams (including face creams, hand creams, moisturizing creams, and sunscreen creams), cream powders, eye liners, eye shadows, eyebrow pencils, foundations, gels (including face gels, hand gels, moisturizing gels, and sunscreen gels), lipsticks, lip balms, lotions (including face lotions, hand lotions, moisturizing lotions, and sunscreen lotions), mascaras, microemulsions, ointments, pomades, and rouges.

The compounds of formula (I) also are useful in the treatment of skin conditions including acne, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, dandruff, warts, calluses, ringworm infection, wrinkling, yellowing, leatheriness, mottling, and hypeφigmentation. Because the compounds of formula (I) are themselves emollients, they may be topically applied either with or without a cosmetically acceptable carrier, including a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier, when used, can be aqueous, anhydrous, or an emulsion, including an organic solvent. When used as a treatment for skin conditions, a compound of formula (I) preferably will be delivered in a safe and effective amount. The term "safe and effective amount" is defined as any amount sufficient to induce a positive modification in the condition to be treated, but low enough to avoid serious side effects (at a reasonable benefit/risk ratio), within the scope of sound medical judgment. The safe and effective amount of the compounds of formula (I) will vary with the particular condition being treated, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the severity of the condition, the duration of the treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy, the specific compound or compounds of the invention being employed, the particular carrier used, if any, and similar factors in the knowledge and expertise of the attending physician.

EXAMPLES The following examples are provided to illustrate the invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. EXAMPLE 1 Hexanediol disalicylate (HDDS To a 2-liter, 3 -neck, glass flask sequentially was added salicylic acid powder (1035g), 1,6-hexanediol (melted, 465 g), sodium hypophosphite (0.45g), and MSA (3g in 50% solution with water). The resulting mixture was heated to 350 °F with agitation and under nitrogen gas flow (5 cfm) until the acid value (by ASTM D1613) was less than 5.0, about 25 hours. The product then was cooled to about 170 °F to about 180 °F and neutralized with sodium hydroxide solution to an acid value less than about 1. The product then was washed twice with a 20% sodium sulfate wash and steam stripped. Steam stripping was accomplished by raising the temperature of the mixture to about 230 °F, applying a full (about 40 mm Hg) vacuum, and injecting steam for about 40 minutes. The resulting product was dried under vacuum for about 15 minutes, and cooled to about 160 °F to 170 °F. The product was filtered with i wt. % CELITE brand filter aid, available from Celite Coφoration of Lompoc, C A, to yield a white solid having an APHA color value of 81 (ASTM D1209), acid value of 0.10, saponification value (4 hours) of 297.4, melting point of 69-71 °C, and a water content of 0.03 wt. %. Based on the theoretical saponification value of 313.4, the resulting HDDS was about 95% pure. HDDS was found to be soluble in diisopropyl adipate, diisopropyl sebacate, dioctyl maleate, dioctyl adipate, and dioctyl sebacate at least 5 % by weight.

Next, the B phase ingredients were added with stirring until homogeneous. In a separate vessel, EDTA was dissolved in water and heated to 85 °C. A preblended mixture of preservative, butylene glycol, and glycerin was added to the EDT A/water solution. In a separate vessel, carbomer was dispersed in 50 g water and set aside. With homogenization, the A+B oil phase was added to the C water phase. Next, the pre-dispersed carbomer D phase was added to the A+B+C mixture. While maintaining the temperature at 85 °C, the mixture was homogenized for about 10 minutes, and then removed from heat and stirred with a propellor while cooling. When the temperature was below 40 °C, the neutralizer E was slowly added and the mixture was stirred until a smooth, homogeneous lotion resulted. Ultraviolet radiation transmittance and SPF of the control and HDDS samples were measured over the range 290 to 400 nm using a LAB SPHERE Ultraviolet Transmittance Analyzer. Five scans were performed on each sample. Critical Wavelength (nm) and SPF data are reported in Table 2 below for the control and HDDS samples. A summary of transmittance and SPF data is provided in Table 3 below.

The data also demonstrate that the presence of HDDS in a sunscreen lotion boosts the SPF value of the lotion. An overlay plot of the control sample (average of five scans) and HDDS (average of five scans) is shown in Figure 1. The ordinate represents absorbance, in units log(base 10) * (1 /transmittance (%>)), and the abscissa represents wavelength in nanometers. Figure 1 shows that the presence of HDDS increases UV absorbance of the lotion at every wavelength of radiation measured. EXAMPLE 6 The compound of Example 1, HDDS, was dissolved to 10 ppm in cyclohexane. The UV absorbance of the compound was measured over the range 250 nm to 400 nm. Figure 2 is a graph showing the UV absorbance where 0 is no absorbance and 1 is full absorbance. The plot is annotated with the wavelength at peak absorbance. The foregoing description is given for clearness of understanding only, and no unnecessary limitations should be understood therefrom, as modifications within the scope of the invention may be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art.
