Product Profile—Pentapeptide-18/Leuphasyl
Pentapeptide-18 / leeuorphin is a new wrinkle-removing polypeptide. Mimicking the natural enkephalin mechanism in vitro: outside of nerve cells, binding to enkephalin receptors, ligands binding to receptors, The conformational change initiates a cascade within the nerve cell, leading to a decrease in its excitability: the activity of the nerve cell is “down-regulated” and acetylcholine release is adjusted, and muscle contraction will slow down, thus reducing wrinkles.

Mechanism of action—Pentapeptide-18/Leuphasyl
Pentapeptide 18 is a modified enkephalin that binds to enkephalin receptors outside nerve cells and releases the G-proteome (α, β, γ). In this way, calcium channels are closed, vesicles can not fuse, resulting in the release of acetylcholine blocked, neurons in a non-excited state. As a result, the muscles contract less, preventing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
