Abstract
Polymers such as sodium polyacrylate; polysaccharides in starch; polyamino acids, which are the products of alpha-amino acid condensation; and polypeptides are widely used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. They are used as viscosity agent, emulsifying agent, and carriers for drug delivery. However, we studied the function of polymers as activity agent, especially that of synthesized poly(aspartic acid). Poly(aspartic acid) is a biocompatible synthetic polymer. It is a water-soluble polyamide containing carboxylic pendants prepared from polysuccinimide, the polycondensate of aspartic acid monomer, by hydrolysis. In this study, we prepared poly(aspartic acid) derivatives conjugated with L-lysine or L-lysine and other materials. The chemical structure of these polymers was confirmed by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, these novel poly(aspartic acid) derivatives stimulated typeⅠcollagen biosynthesis and inhibited MMP-1(collagenase) activity. We could conclude that the microfludization process improved skin permeability and confirmed better permeability than that achieved with existing nano emulsions.
