Syn-AKE

Syn-A-KE is a synthetic peptide with the sequence beta-alanyl-L-prolyl-3-aminomethyl-L-alanine benzyl amide acetic acid known as tripeptide-3. The structure of Syn-A-KE is composed of the amino acids alanine, proline, and diamino butyrate, which are linked by peptide bonds. The peptide is designed to mimic the activity of Waglerin-1, a polypeptide. Waglerin-1 is a muscle relaxant that is considered to block the action of acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junction, leading to a decrease in muscle contractions.

Syn-AKE

When developing Syn-AKE, researchers aimed to develop a peptide with similar activity on muscle contractions as Waglerin-1. The peptide’s intended mechanism of action is temporarily inhibiting muscle contractions, which typically leads to a decrease in the depth of wrinkles on the skin of test subjects. This compound has been extensively researched for its potential anti-aging properties for the skin of various species, including reducing fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin texture, and increasing skin hydration solely because of its muscle-relaxing properties.
