Résumé : |
Melanin, is a dark pigment produced by the skin as a natural sunscreen in response to ultraviolet radiation exposure. Although a tanned skin is considered attractive, the long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation entails serious risk of skin damage.
The melanin production pathway in melanocytes is regulated by the interaction between steroid hormones and its respective melanocortin receptors (MCRs). The usage of synthetic peptides allows it to mimic that effect. The chemical synthesis of these compounds allows modifying or introducing changes that increase the affinity to these receptors and modulate melanin production. In the present work we present a new synthetic peptide for cosmetic application, which allows melanogenesis via MCRs activation. The new peptide developed by Infinitec Activos enables the formulation of a natural sunscreen without UV exposure and prevents possible skin damage. |
