Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for synthesizing sinapoyl malate comprising the steps of (a) (i) reacting syringaldehyde with acetic acid anhydride and an alkali metal acetate; or (ii) reacting sinapinic acid with acetic acid anhydride, and (b) cleaving the anhydride of the acetyl protected reaction product of (a) by exposing to water and an aliphatic alcohol to form protected sinapinic acid, (c) esterifyinig the protected sinapinic acid by reacting with an alkyl protected carboxylic acid ester to form protected sinapoyl malate, and (d) reacting the protected sinapoyl malate with aqueous acid to yield sinapoyl malate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a topical composition comprising an extract of Tiger lily (Lilium tigrinum) enriched in low molecular weight RNA. The invention also relates to a method of cosmetic care including the topical application a composition comprising an extract of Tiger lily (Lilium tigrinum) in a physiologically acceptable medium, in order to reduce skin signs of aging and photo-aging. The invention is also directed to a cosmetic method of treatment to improve cell viability, to improve cell protection against particulate matter and against DNA damages, and to reduce cellular senescence.
