ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the fields of fatty substance chemistry, specifically of the ceramide-type compound synthesis. The invention resides substantially in the synthesis of ceramide-type compounds. Specifically, the aim of the invention is a new enzymatic synthesis method, comprising at least one amidification step and one esterification step, achieved through lipases, among fatty acids and/or esters thereof and amino alcohols. The resulting ceramide-type compounds can be used as cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical compositions, in particular as dermatological compositions in conjunction or in admixture with one or more suitable cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical excipients or carriers. The method has an interest particularly in the synthesis of active compounds useful in the fields of cosmetology and/or pharmacology and specifically of dermatology.
