Poster summary
- Melasma has a complex pathophysiology with different cell types and signaling pathways involved, including paracrine factors secreted by keratinocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells act stimulating melanogenesis on melanocytes. The aim of this research was to find a novel synergy between compounds to effectively treat skin hyperpigmentation conditions such as melasma. Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) algorithm was used to select the best combinations among 12 selected depigmenting compounds. The proposed combination of compounds by artificial intelligence had a synergistic effect in vitro. The combination reduced the levels of COX-2 and ET-1 in fibroblasts. The combination also inhibited αMSH-induced dendricity in melanocytes. Finally, the combination significantly reduced pigmentation in a reconstructed human epidermis model after 8 days of treatment. This combination of compounds shows promising results for the treatment of skin hyperpigmentation conditions such as melasma by regulating the key pathways involved in its pathogenesis (inflammatory, vascular and hormonal pathways).
