BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Humans continue to demonstrate an obsession with appearance, particularly of the face, but increasingly of the skin and body, generally. Indeed, many believe that appearance is intrinsically linked to self-esteem, the selection of a significant other, professional advancement and overall societal acceptance. Consequently, the demand for appearance-enhancing alternatives continues to increase, as evidenced by the advent of many new products and services, each of which purports to achieve a desired appearance-enhancing result. Nevertheless, the majority of products and services that have been developed to address this growing need are designed to conceal, rather than improve, the appearance of skin. Namely, conventional solutions to this dilemma have generally sought to disguise mammalian skin imperfections with, for example, opaque chemicals that enhance only the visual appearance of skin.

Despite providing a quasi solution to the dilemma of appearance, conventional skin enhancing products have yet to address the escalation of physical ailments associated with a given skin condition. Indeed, as skin imperfections become more prevalent in humans, particularly those experiencing advanced aging, so too does the onset of physical ailments and disease. Thus, those skilled in the art have increasingly engaged in more sophisticated attempts to develop compositions that actually improve the appearance of skin, rather than simply conceal skin imperfections i. e., esse, quam videsse. Such compositions are intended to enhance the visual appearance of skin and/or address the incidence of true skin disorders, such as skin atrophy (stemming from corticosteroid administration) and post-menopausal thinning of the skin.

Notwithstanding the immense efforts exerted by those skilled in the art, little progress has been made in this realm of skin care. This limited advancement is primarily due to a lack of understanding of the processes that influence the appearance and condition of human skin. indeed, numerous approaches in the art have generally relied upon the haphazard discovery of purported skin-enhancing alternatives, rather than the manipulation of underlying theories and synergies, to thwart the deterioration of mammalian skin. Attempts to actually improve the condition of mammalian skin have failed to address the specific and diversified needs of consumers. Consequently, consumers continue to rely upon the use and development of appearance-concealing alternatives, such as color cosmetics.

Yet a thorough understanding of the theories underlying the preservation of mammalian, and particularly human, skin has led to the surprising identification of compounds that actually have the effect of conveying true beautification and improvement benefits to mammalian skin. In particular, it has been surprisingly discovered that two particular classes of compounds are adapted to beautify and enhance the condition of mammalian skin-namely, beta-ionol analog and fatty acid analog compounds. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the compounds of the present invention are thought to function, alone and in combination, as RXR, RAR and/or PPAR nuclear hormone receptor ligands that stimulate and improve mammalian skin.

The compounds of the present invention are adapted to encourage mammalian skin differentiation and discourage excess skin proliferation. Further, it has been surprisingly discovered that notable synergy is achieved via the combined administration of two or more analogs from the same or different groups of the above-described compounds.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention addresses and resolves the problems associated with the employment of conventional skin care compositions and products. To reiterate, it has been surprisingly discovered that the employment of specific, nuclear hormone receptor ligands, both individually and in combination, serves to enhance and beautify mammalian, and particularly human, skin. Indeed, the compounds of the present invention constitute an actual and viable advancement in the realm of skin care, particularly as contemporary skin care compositions have sought to simply conceal, rather than improve, the condition of mammalian skin. Specifically, it has been surprisingly discovered that the compounds of the present invention, which alter, in vitro, the partitioning of cells between a state of undifferentiated proliferation and a state of differentiation, serve to convey numerous beautification benefits to human skin, while discouraging the onset of skin disease and irritation.

Thus, in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, novel compounds for beautifying and improving the condition of mammalian skin are disclosed. Without wishing to be bound by theory, said compounds are thought to function, alone and in combination, as nuclear hormone receptor ligands for the stimulation and/or improvement of, mammalian skin. In application, the beta-ionol analog and fatty acid analog compounds of the present invention function as ligands for RXR, RAR and/or PPAR receptors to beautify and improve the condition of mammalian skin. Specifically, the compounds disclosed herein are adapted to encourage skin differentiation and discourage excess skin proliferation upon application to mammalian skin. In another aspect of the present invention, combinations of the present compounds are employed to beautify and improve the condition of mammalian skin. Indeed, it has been surprisingly discovered that certain beta-ionol analog and fatty acid analog compounds, both of which individually demonstrate skin-enhancing activity in vitro, convey synergistic benefits upon employment in combination.

In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention, products, consumer and otherwise, incorporating the beautifying compounds of the present invention are disclosed. Such products may take an assortment of shapes and forms depending on the precise applications for which deployment of the product is desired and the needs and/or abilities of the formulator. In any instance, the products of the present invention are effective in beautifying and improving mammalian skin, by encouraging the differentiation of substrate skin and discouraging proliferation thereof. The products of the present invention, too, are adapted to convey actual skin care benefits to the substrates to which they are applied, rather than simply conceal skin imperfections like traditional skin care products.

In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, methods of using the skin care compounds and products of the present invention are disclosed. The methods of the present invention are adapted to provide enhanced and permanent beautification benefits to mammalian, and particularly human, skin. Moreover, in another aspect of the present invention, methods of treating cancer employing the novel and nonobvious combinations of the present compounds are disclosed. As will become apparent, the compounds of the present invention, a few of which have exhibited anti-cancer activity when employed individually, provide heightened anti-cancer synergy when administered in combination. Indeed, numerous, novel synergies among traditional anti-cancer compounds (e. g. , bexarotene) have been surprisingly discovered and documented via the present disclosure. The present invention further encompasses methods of treating RXR-containing mammalian tissue in need of stimulation using the compounds disclosed herein.

FirstAspect : ComnositionsofMatter In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, novel and nonobvious compounds for permanently beautifying and improving the appearance and/or condition of mammalian skin are disclosed. Indeed, the compounds of the present invention are adapted to alter, in vitro, the partitioning of cells between a state of undifferentiated proliferation and a state of differentiation, and thus, convey numerous beautification benefits to human skin, while discouraging the onset of skin disorders. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the ability of the present compounds to encourage skin differentiation and discourage skin proliferation serves the fundamental goal of maximizing the number of useful, productive cells, while minimizing the number of less desired, undifferentiated cells. The ability of the present compounds to maximize the number of differentiated cells, in turn, serves to increase the thickness of the mammalian skin to which they are applied. As the proportion of proliferated (i. e. undifferentiated) skin cells is minimized, the mammalian skin onto which the present compounds are applied fits more tightly around mammalian flesh and experiences reduced sagging and wrinkling as a function of time. The maximization of useful, differentiated skin cells further improves the barrier function of skin, and thus, its resistance to abrasions, cuts, sores and other physical ailments associated with poor skin conditioning. Whether employed individually or in combination, the compounds of the present invention exhibit heightened performance and synergy in the beautification and improvement of mammalian skin.

Beta-ionol Analog Compounds It is a fundamental goal of the present invention to identify and deploy certain beta-ionol analog compounds that are adapted to convey material beautification and improvement benefits to the mammalian skin onto which they are applied. The beta-ionol analog compounds disclosed herein constitute a particularly novel aspect of the present invention, as they are adapted to actually improve mammalian skin, rather than simply conceal skin imperfections. The present compounds, and the vast benefits achieved via their practice, further serve the fundamental goal of preventing the onset of physical ailments and irritation of the mammalian skin to which they are applied by maximizing the number of differentiated cells and improving the barrier function of skin. Thus, in accordance with a first aspect of the present invention, a beta-ionol analog compound, illustrated by the following, general structure, is disclosed : wherein"X"is a single or double bonded moiety comprising from 0 to about 12 substituted or unsubstituted carbon atoms and from 0 to about 2 heteroatoms, selected from substituted and unsubstituted, cycloalkyl or aromatic moieties of NH, S, O and combinations thereof."Z"is a single, double, or triple bonded moiety containing from 0 to about 12 carbon atoms in a chain, optionally including a cycloalkyl or aromatic ring, both of which may be further substituted."Y"is (CH2) n, wherein"n"is a variable having a value of from 0 to about 3. "R"is a group which may be substituted onto any ring if two or more are present and is selected from up to three independently selected substituted and unsubstituted, alkyl, cycloalkyl or aromatic moieties including CH3, CH2CH3, NRiR2, SR, OR and combinations thereof. In another aspect of the present invention, the optical isomers, diastereomers and enantiomers of the above-depicted formula, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts, biohydrolyzable amides, esters, and imides thereof are encompassed as suitable skin care agents herein. Said compounds, too, exhibit enhanced beautification and improvement benefits upon application to mammalian skin, while preventing the onset of physical ailments and irritation.

In another aspect of the present invention, beta-ionol analog compounds encompassed by the above-depicted general formula and characterized by a heightened ability to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cell lines, and particularly HL-60 cells, are disclosed. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the ability of said compounds to inhibit the proliferation of tumor cell lines serves the fundamental goal of preventing the excess proliferation of undifferentiated cells. Said excess proliferation encourages the wrinkling and sagging that often typifies aging mammalian, and particularly human, skin.

Further, said excess proliferation encourages the onset of cancer cell proliferation, and reduces the rate of said proliferation of established cancers.

Representative Beta-lonol Analog Compounds Indeed, there exists an abundance of compounds useful herein that are encompassed by the general formula set forth above in relation to the present beta-ionol analog compounds. It should be noted and underscored that the above-depicted beta- ionol analog general formula is intended to encompass obvious variations of the preferred, differentiation-inducing compounds of the present invention. The below-listed compounds are intended to serve as representative structures of the compounds that are particularly desired for use in the present invention. Other compounds that may be described by the above-listed, general formula and/or compounds that constitute obvious variations thereof are also suitable for use in the present invention.

The following non-limiting examples illustrate the compounds, compositions, and uses of the present invention. For purposes of this disclosure, the examples of suitable beta-ionol analog compounds set forth herein have been divided into the following subclasses : monocyclic core compounds, bicyclic core compounds and tricyclic core compounds.

permanent beautification of mammalian skin are disclosed. Said compounds may be employed individually or in combination with other Beta-ionol and fatty acid analogs to provide numerous beautification benefits to the mammalian skin, while discouraging the onset of skin disorders. To reiterate, the fatty acid analog compounds disclosed herein, like their beta-ionol analog counterparts, serve the fundamental goal of encouraging skin differentiation while discouraging excess skin proliferation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the fatty acid analog compounds disclosed herein function by entering the cells and engaging in complex interaction with one or more nuclear hormone receptors or their ancillary proteins. This complex interaction leads to the modification of relative rates of production, and thus, the ratios of mRNA in the cells. Such modification ultimately results in the formation of more"productive"cells, and thus, an increased skin matrix per square centimeter of skin-thereby providing a youthful and healthy appearance to treated skin.

The fatty acid analog compounds of the present invention may be illustrated by the following, general structure: wherein"A"is selected from hydrogen, methyl group, ethyl group and mixtures thereof; further wherein"n,""o,""p,"and"m"are variables comprising a value of from about 0 to about 8; further wherein methylene is saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted, and/or a constituent of a ring structure, including heterocyclic rings.

In another aspect of the present invention, the optical isomers, diastereomers and enantiomers of the above-depicted formula, as well as pharmaceutical acceptable salts, biohydrolyzable amides, esters, and imides thereof are disclosed and claimed.

Said compounds, too, exhibit enhanced beautification and improvement benefits upon application to mammalian, and particularly human, skin. In yet another aspect of the present invention, particularly desired fatty acid analog compounds for use herein are those that are characterized by decreased saturation. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the ability of said compounds to restrict their rotation serves the fundamental goal of increasing the proportion of molecules in the active conformation, thereby reducing the entropy of the subject molecule, and thus, making the molecule more effective against the catalysts of aging mammalian skin.

Representative Examples of Suitable Fatty-Acid Analog Compounds Indeed, there exists a plethora of suitable fatty-acid analog compounds that may be described by the above-depicted general formula. The below-discussed compounds are intended to serve only as representative structures of the preferred fatty-acid analog compounds for use in the present invention. Other compounds that constitute obvious variations from the above-depicted general formula or the below-listed representative compounds, are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.

In one aspect of the present invention, dihomolinolenic acid, alpha-linolenic acid and similar compounds thereof represent particularly preferred fatty acid analog compounds for use in the present invention.

Beta-ionol Analog and Fatty Acid Analog Combinations In yet another aspect of the present invention, the beta-ionol analog and fatty acid analog compounds disclosed herein are employed in combination to beautify and improve the condition of the mammalian skin to which they are applied. Indeed, the precise analog compounds and amounts in which they are combined will depend upon the specific needs and/or abilities of those who seek to practice the present invention.

Nevertheless, it has been surprisingly discovered that the ratio of the amount of material of the fatty-acid class to the beta-ionol class in molar terms should parallel their individual ability to induce proliferation, and, in any event, not be less than about 1: 100 nor greater than about 100: 1 on a molar basis, for optimum activity. The synergy achieved via the combined employment of the beta-ionol and fatty acid analog compounds of the present invention serves not only to beautify and improve mammalian skin, but further to convey anti-cancer benefits.

It should be noted and underscored that it is a fundamental goal of the present invention to disclose various combinations of the present beta-ionol analog and fatty acid analog compounds. In one aspect of the present invention, two or more compounds from the beta-ionol analog class, as disclosed herein, are employed in combination, to achieve various mammalian beautification and anti-cancer benefits. In another aspect of the present invention, two or more compounds of the fatty acid analog class, as disclosed herein, are employed in combination to beautify mammalian skin and discourage the onset of skin disorders. Indeed, a few such combinations have surprisingly demonstrated immense synergy in the treatment of mammalian skin. The below-listed combinations are intended to serve only as a representative facet of the present invention. It is envisioned that other combinations of the present compounds will also demonstrate synergy in the beautification of mammalian skin, as well as anti-cancer therapy.
