Topical compositions containing desthiobiotin and its derivatives and a method of treating skin
View Patent ↗Topical compositions and methods of use to treat symptoms of reduced skin elasticity are provided comprising desthiobiotin and certain desthiobiotin analogues. These compounds are effective in stimulating LOXL-1 activity and can thus increase elastin remodeling and improve appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, skin sagging and other symptoms of reduced elastin function.

11. The method according to claim 10 wherein said compound is D-desthiobiotin.
12. The method according to claim 1 wherein said one or more signs of skin aging includes wrinkles and/or fine lines.
13. The method according to claim 1 wherein said one or more signs of skin aging includes skin sagging or atrophy.
14. The method according to claim 1 wherein said one or more signs of skin aging includes thin skin.
15. The method according to claim 1 wherein said one or more signs of skin aging includes enlarged pores.
16. The method according to claim 1 wherein said one or more signs of skin aging includes loss of skin tone or coloration.
17. The method according to claim 1 wherein the composition comprises from about 0.001% by weight to about 5% by weight of the compound or salt or prodrug thereof.
18. A method for treating one or more signs of skin aging associated with a loss of elastin comprising topically applying to skin in need thereof, a cosmetic composition effective in treating said one or more signs of skin aging associated with loss of elastin, said composition comprising, in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle, an effective amount of a compound having the structure:
or a salt or ester thereof; wherein said one or more signs of skin aging are selected from the group consisting of fine lines or wrinkles, skin sagging or atrophy, thin skin, enlarged pores, and decreased skin resilience or turgor, and combinations thereof.
19. The method according to claim 18 , wherein said compound is D-Desthiobiotin or a salt or ester thereof.
20. The method according to claim 19 , wherein said one or more signs of skin aging is wrinkles or fine lines.
21. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said compound that is topically applied to the skin is a prodrug of the compound of formula I.
22. The method according to claim 1 , wherein R N is H or C 1-6 alkyl.
23. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound or salt or prodrug thereof is present in an amount effective to enhance lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) activity, thereby treating said one or more signs of skin aging associated with loss of elastin.
24. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound or salt or prodrug thereof is present in an amount effective to enhance Fibrillin-1 activity, thereby treating said one or more signs of skin aging associated with loss of elastin.
25. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the compound or salt or ester thereof is present in an amount effective to enhance lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) activity, thereby treating said one or more signs of skin aging associated with loss of elastin.
26. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the compound or salt or ester thereof is present in an amount effective to enhance Fibrillin-1 activity, thereby treating said one or more signs of skin aging associated with loss of elastin.
27. A method of treating one or more signs of skin aging associated with a loss of elastin comprising topically applying to the skin a composition effective in treating said one or more signs of skin aging associated with loss of elastin, said composition comprising:
