Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate
DrugBank Accession Number
DB11269
Background

Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate is a UV filter with high absorption in the UV-A range. Minimizing the overexposure of human skin to ultraviolet radiation that may lead to acute and chronic photodamage, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate is an oil-soluble UV filter that may be incorporated in the oil phase of emulsions 4. Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate was approved in Europe in 2005, and is also marketed in the U.S., South America, Mexico, Japan and Taiwan. It has a chemical structure similar to the classical benxophoenone drug class, and displays good photostability 1. It is used in concentrations up to 10% in sunscreen products, either alone or in combination with other UV absorbers 4.

Pharmacodynamics

Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate is an organic UV filter that attenuates the exposure of UV radiation on human skin 2. In vitro, topical application of diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate exerted an anti-inflammatory effect on inflammation-evoked mouse ears by inhibiting oedema formation 3.

Mechanism of action

Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate absorbs in the UV-A range with the peak at 354 nm 1.

Absorption

Based on the findings of a rat study assessing dermal or percutaneous absorption, only a minor amount of diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate will undergo percutaneous absorption and most of the compounds will remain in the upper layers of the stratum corneum 4. In rat and porcine skin, the percutaneous absorption was 0.10 ± 0.12 μg/cm^2 or 0.04 ± 0.05% 4.

Volume of distribution

No pharmacokinetic data.

Protein binding

No pharmacokinetic data.

Metabolism

In steady-state and transient photolysis experiments in vitro, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate may be oxidized by H2O2/UV to form degradation products 2. Like other UV filters, diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate may be subject to photodegradation upon absorption of UV radiation, which results in the compound passing from a ground state to either a singlet or triplet excited state 1.

Route of elimination

No pharmacokinetic data.

Half-life

No pharmacokinetic data.

Clearance

No pharmacokinetic data.

Toxicity

In a rat acute oral toxicity study, median LD50 value was reported to be >2000 mg/kg 4. No case of overdose has been reported. Diethylamino hydroxybenzoyl hexyl benzoate was not shown to be mutagenic, clastogenic, or phototoxic in vitro 4. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) 200 mg/kg bw/day for maternal toxicity, and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (highest applied dose) for prenatal developmental toxicity 4.
