AMINO ACID AND PEPTIDE CONJUGATES OF ARYLALKYLIC ACIDS FOR COSMETIC USE

摘要

The invention provides novel compounds of general formula (I), wherein R<1>, R<2> and R<3> are independently hydrogen, OR<4>, C1-C6 alkyl or C2-C6 alkenyl, R<4 >is hydrogen, C1-C6 alkyl or C2-C6 alkenyl, -N-(AA) represents the residue of an amino acid or of a peptide which is bonded over the N-terminus of the amino acid or the peptide and the peptide is composed of 2 to 6, that means 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, amino acids, wherein the C-terminus of the amino acid or the peptide is optionally esterified with a C1-C16 hydrocarbon moiety and n is an integer of 1 to 5. The compounds are in particular useful for cosmetic applications.
