Snake venom-like tripeptides are synthetic tripeptides, also known as snake venom-like peptides. Researchers have detected a new peptide, Waglerin-1, in the venom of the viper Waglerinus venom, which has been found to be a more potent inhibitor of the skin's acetylcholine receptor (AChR).

Active Peptide: Snake venom-like tripeptide is a small peptide that mimics the activity of Waglerin I, a snake venom toxin. SYN-AKE is a synthetic tripeptide derivative and a novel snake venom-like active compound, acting as a muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nmAChR) antagonist.

Mechanism of Action for Wrinkle Reduction: Snake venom-like peptides act as effective smoothing and wrinkle-reducing active products by relaxing facial muscles. They act on the postsynaptic membrane and are reversible antagonists of the muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nmAChR). Snake venom-like peptides bind to the ε subunit of nmAChR, thereby blocking the binding of acetylcholine to the receptor, ultimately leading to receptor blockage. In this blocked state, sodium ions cannot be taken up, depolarization is impossible, nerve excitation transmission is blocked, and muscles relax, thus effectively removing various expression lines.

Uses: Snake venom-like peptides have anti-wrinkle and anti-aging effects and can be added to beauty and skincare products such as lotions, masks, day and night creams, and eye serums.
