Nonapeptide-1 Usage And Synthesis
Description    Nonapeptide-1 is a skin lightening peptide, derived from the melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH). It prevents the activity of tyrosine in the melanocytes, melanin synthesis inhibition and helps to even out your skin tone by lessening hyper-pigmentation. This process reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation, allowing for the control over skin tone and brown spots.
Uses    A skin whitening nonapeptide. It can be applied to various kinds of whitening or spot corrective products.
Application    skin radiance, skin Lightening-whitening, anti-dark spot
Definition    Nonapeptide-1 is one skin whitening nonapeptide. It can be applied to various kinds of whitening or spot corrective products.
benefits    Nonapeptide-1inhibits melanin production originally induced bya-MSH.Whitening, spot-removing as well as preventing hyperpigmentation.Its recommended dosage in skin care products is 0.5~3%.
Biological Functions    1. Inhibit melanin synthesis by interfering with the action of tyrosinase in melanocytes. Reduce hyperpigmentation and lighten darker areas that have been damaged by the sun and certain diseases.2. Interfer with melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH). MSH increases during pregnancy, as a result of certain medical conditions (e.g. diabetes, Addison’s disease), and as a result of excessive sun exposure.3. Nonapeptide-1, at a concentration of 200 ug/mL, is capable of fully inhibiting the synthesis of melanin in fungi.4. At 100 micromolar concentration, nonapeptide-1 can inhibit 25-35% of tyrosinase activity in animal models and can reduce the melanin content of melanocytes by 27-43%
Biotechnological Applications    Nonapeptide-1 acetate salt, a peptide hormone, is a potent α-Melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) antagonist, with an IC50 of 11 nM. Reduces synthesis of melanin and helps decrease skin pigmentation to a substantial degree[1].
Side effects    May cause drowsiness, dizziness, hypotension, or a headache as side-effects when using Nonapeptide-1 Topical medicine. Patients not drink alcohol with medicines as alcohol intensifies drowsiness side-effects.
storage    Common storage 2-8℃, long time storage -20℃.
