FIELD OF INVENTION
The present disclosure broadly relates to the field of cosmetics and particularly refers to a composition proving anti-senescent effect.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Cellular ageing or cellular senescence is a universal attribute of normal non-transformed cells that is recognized as one of the potential hallmarks of ageing. Cellular ageing is a process that is referred to as irreversible growth arrest of individual mitotic cells. The irreversible growth arrest of individual mitotic cells occurs in response to potentially oncogenic stimuli. These stimuli include damage to DNA, shortening and dysfunctioning of telomere, or oncogenic stress (Biomarkers of Cellular senescence and Skin aging; Audrey S. Wang).
The presence of senescent cells in skin has emerged as a potential contributor for skin ageing. It is suggested the number of senescent cells in the epidermal compartment of skin increases with age. The accumulation of senescent cells in skin with age are responsible for breakdown of extracellular matrix (ECM) (Quan T., Qin Z., Xia W., Shao Y., Voorhees J. J., Fisher G. J. (2009). Matrix-degrading metalloproteinases in photoaging. J. Investig. Dermatol. Symp. Proc. 14 20-24. 10.1038/jidsymp.2009.8). In addition, the presence of senescent cells affects skin elasticity and skin integrity contributing to ageing of skin.
Skin ageing leads to characteristic changes that are manifested in the form of fine lines and wrinkles on facial skin and other parts of the body.
Various strategies have been deployed to reduce the level of senescent cells in skin in order to combat skin ageing related problems. For instance: US20180002703A1 discloses a composition for reducing cellular senescence level. Also, discloses a method for reducing cellular senescence level inhibiting dcunld3 activity or inhibiting expression of dcunld3-encoding gene and use thereof.
AU2010233073B2 refers to methods of identifying, detecting a novel agent for preventing or treating an age-related disorder by improving mitochondrial function, maintaining the cell cycle- arrested state in senescent and post mitotic
cells. Further provides the use of low doses of rapamycin or its analogs in
preventing age-related diseases or disorders.
[007] Although a plethora of anti-skin agents have been described in literature to
enhance cellular activities, skin firmness and elasticity. However, the anti-agents
that are known in art do not provide much decrease in the senescence levels.
[008] Accordingly, there is a need for implementing a novel composition to
decrease cellular senescence in ageing cells.

[0077] The disclosure will now be illustrated with working examples, which is intended to illustrate the working of disclosure and not intended to take restrictively to imply any limitations on the scope of the present disclosure. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice of the disclosed methods and
compositions, the exemplary methods, devices and materials are described herein. It is to be understood that this disclosure is not limited to particular methods, and experimental conditions described, as such methods and conditions may apply. The working and non-working examples as depicted in the forthcoming sections highlight the criticality of the working percentages of different components in achieving the composition of the present disclosure. It is further specified that the presence of at least one purine nucleic acid substance and Boerhavia diffusa extract, present at a weight ratio range of 1:0.4 to 1:4 is critical so as to provide synergistic decrease in production of senescence associated beta glucosidase.

Materials and Methods
[0078] The components of the present disclosure: ATP having catalogue no. A2383 was procured from sigma, and Boerhavia diffusa extract was commercially procured. from Amrutha herbals. The stock of ATP was prepared in water, wherein pH was adjusted with 1N NaOH and stock of Boerhavia diffusa extract was prepared in water. Human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cells were procured from LONZA, fibroblast basal medium was procured from INVITROGEN, cellular senescence assay kit was procured from CellBiolabs, and 10X phosphate buffered saline was procured from Sigma.
[0079] The characterization and identification of active present in Boerhavia diffusa extract, was achieved by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analyses. The following conditions were required for carrying out HPLC analysis (as depicted in Figure 6) of Boerhavia diffusa extract: Column: Inertsil ODS 3V 250mm X4.6mm, 5µ; flow rate: 1.0mLl/min; Wavelength: 270nm; Mobile phase: 0.1% H3PO4 in water: Acetonitrile (70:30); Column temperature: 250℃. From the analysis of HLPC profile of Boerhavia diffusa extract, it was found that Boerhavia diffusa extract comprised gallic acid having a weight percentage of 0.01% with respect to the extract.
Example 1
Evaluation of cytotoxicity for ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract
[0080] ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract was utilized at a weight percentage
ranging from 0.001-0.1% and 0.005-0.1% respectively, in order to determine the
cytotoxicity level. The cytotoxicity level was determined in vitro by using WST-1
Cell Proliferation and Cell Viability kit from Clontech.
[0081] Figure 1 depicts the cytotoxicity of ATP. It can be observed from Figure 1
that cells treated with 0.025% of ATP exhibited 92% cell survival as compared to
control.
[0082] Figure 2 depicts the cytotoxicity of Boerhavia diffusa extract, wherein it
can be observed that cells treated with 0.025% of Boerhavia diffusa extract
exhibited 105% cell survival as compared to control.
[0083] Therefore, it can be inferred from Figure 1 and Figure 2 that ATP and
Boerhavia diffusa extract was safe to use, wherein the cells that were treated with
0.025% of ATP and 0.025% of Boerhavia diffusa extract showed maximum
survival rate of 92% and 105%, respectively. The ATP and Boerhavia diffusa
extract having a weight percentage range of 0.001-0.1% and 0.005-0.1% was used
further for the purpose of the present disclosure.
Example 2
Method for evaluating effect of the composition on expression of senescence
associated beta galactosidase enzyme
[0084] The effect of the composition on expression of senescence associated beta
galactosidase enzyme was evaluated by cellular senescence assay. The cellular
senescence assay was carried out for a period of 3 days and consisted of following
steps:
[0085] Step 1: HDF cells were seeded in 96- well plates and incubated in 5% CO2
incubator on day 1.
[0086] Step 2: Adherent HDF cells were exposed to 100µM Hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) for 3hours, that was followed by treatment with actives (ATP and
Boerhavia diffusa extract) in serum free fibroblast basal medium for 24 hrs. on day
2.
[0087] Step 3: Post incubation with actives, cells were washed twice with 1X PBS on day 3. Cell Lysis and processing was performed as per the manufacturer’s protocol (CELLBIOLABS) to estimate the enzymatic levels of senescence associated beta galactosidase (SA-β-gal) expression.
Example 3
Evaluation of effect of ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract present at a weight
ratio of 1:1
[0088] The combination of ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract present at a
concentration of 0.01% each, were used to evaluate the enzymatic levels of
senescence associated beta galactosidase (SA-β-gal) expression.
[0089] Figure 3 depicts the effect of combination of 0.01% of ATP and 0.01% of
Boerhavia diffusa extract on SA-β-gal expression levels. It was observed from
Figure 3 that the combination of 0.01% of ATP and 0.01% of Boerhavia diffusa
extract synergistically decreased SA-β-gal expression levels responsible for cellular
senescence. It can be deduced from Figure 3 that the synergistic decrease in SA-β-
gal expression levels helped in enhancing cellular activities in ageing skin.
[0090] It can be inferred that combination of 0.01% of ATP and 0.01% of
Boerhavia diffusa extract was present within the disclosed weight range of the
present disclosure, i.e. 1:0.4-1:4. Further, said combination provided synergistic
effect in decreasing SA-β-gal expression levels. Therefore, combination of 0.01%
of ATP and 0.01% of Boerhavia diffusa extract were considered as the working
example of the present disclosure.
Example 4
Evaluation of effect of ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract present at a weight
ratio of 1:0.2
[0091] Combination having 0.1% of ATP and 0.02% of Boerhavia diffusa extract
was used to evaluate the enzymatic levels of SA-β-gal expression. Referring to
Figure 4, it can be observed that 0.1% of ATP and 0.02% of Boerhavia diffusa
extract did not show any substantial decrease in SA-β-gal expression.
[0092] It is clear from Figure 4 that the combination of 0.1% of ATP and 0.02%
of Boerhavia diffusa extract was present outside the disclosed weight ratio range of
the present disclosure. Further, the combined effect of 0.1% of ATP and 0.02% of Boerhavia diffusa extract was less than that expected by additive effect 0.1% of ATP and 0.02% of Boerhavia diffusa extract.
[0093] It can be inferred that combination of 0.1% of ATP and 0.02% of Boerhavia diffusa extract did not exhibit enhanced decrease in SA-β-gal expression. Therefore, said combination at weight ratio of 1:0.2 were considered as non-working example of the present disclosure.
Example 5
Evaluation of effect of ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract present at a weight
ratio of 1:5
[0094] The combination of ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract was utilized at a
concentration of 0.001% and 0.005% respectively for the purpose of the present
disclosure.
[0095] Referring to Figure 5, it can be observed that the combination having
0.001% ATP and 0.005% of Boerhavia diffusa extract did not show any substantial
decrease in SA-β-gal expression. It can also be observed that the afore-mentioned
combination was present outside the working range of the present disclosure.
[0096] It is clear from Figure 5 that the combined effect of 0.001% of ATP and
0.005% of Boerhavia diffusa extract was less than that expected by additive effect
of 0.001% of ATP and 0.005% of Boerhavia diffusa extract. Therefore,
combination of 0.001% of ATP and 0.005% of Boerhavia diffusa extract that did
not exhibit enhanced decrease in SA-β-gal expression and was considered as the
non-working example of the present disclosure.
[0097] Based on the observations made from the analysis of HPLC profile (as
depicted in Figure 6) of Boerhavia diffusa extract carried out under the conditions
(as mentioned in materials and methods of the present disclosure), it was observed
that gallic acid was present as active in Boerhavia diffusa extract, wherein
Boerhavia diffusa extract was having gallic acid content of about 0.2ppm, as
depicted in Figure 7.
[0098] Overall, the combination of ATP and Boerhavia diffusa extract in the
disclosed weight ranges is essential to have a synergistic effect in decreasing
senescence-associated beta galactosidase (SA-β-gal) enzyme synthesis. Deviating ATP concentration or Boerhavia diffusa extract concentration from the disclosed weight ranges does not exhibit the desired result.
