SNAP-8 (200mg)

SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3) is a synthetic peptide that mimics a key fragment of the SNAP-25 protein, competitively binding to components of the SNARE complex to destabilize its formation and reduce acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. With a molecular weight of 1075.16 g/mol, it effectively reduces muscle contractions to soften dynamic wrinkles, inhibiting neurotransmitter release by up to 43% in vitro and reducing wrinkle depth by an average of 35% in vivo. Its action is distinct from botulinum toxin, working subtly by capturing SNAP-25 for temporary muscle relaxation, and it exhibits humectant and antioxidant characteristics, synergizing with other anti-wrinkle peptides like Leuphasyl.
