Isobionic-Amide a new lightening agent technology
- Isobionic-Amide is a part of the vitamin B3 family, which are naturally occurring molecules.
- Isobionic-Amide has a pyridine structure in para-isomer configuration.
- Isobionic-Amide related INCI function is skin conditioning. It is as well use pharmacologically to increase the bioavailability of other molecules by formation of co-crystals
Increased potency
- Scientis discovered in 2011 the depigmenting effect of Isobionic-Amide
- The effectiveness of Isobionic Amide was first hypothesized by analysing the chemical isomer configuration of the pyridine family in comparison of the biphenol family
- Similarly to hydroquinone vs. resorcinol, the hypothesis was that a pyridine in para configuration would be more potent than in Meta configuration
- In-vitro evaluation confirmed the greater potency of Isobionic-Amide vs. niacinamide
- Scientis patented in 2013 the synergy between Cysteamine and Isobionic-Amide
Excellent safety profile
- Considered as hydrophilic with a partition coefficient: Log P= -0.282, which is favorable to penetrate through corneal layer.
- Considered low molecular weight at 122,125 g/mol, which is favorable to diffuse in epidermis.
- Considered readily biodegradable
- Negligeable Acute Toxicity
– LD50 (oral, rat) is > 2.000 mg/kg
– No death observed at oral dose of
>875 mg/kg in rat3 - Not considered teratogenic & mutagenic
- Low Melanocytes & Keratinocytes cytotoxicity
– None up to very high concentration (500µM), as for
Niacinamide.4,5
– Considerably less toxic to melanocytes compared to
other depigmenting agents (25µM for hydroquinone and
hydroquinone-acetate7 ; 100µM for kojic acid and arbutin8) - Non-Carcinogenic
– Not carcinogenic at 5g/kg bw/day (mice, 1% solutions in
drinking water during their lifetime, equivalent to 5g/kg bw/day)
