Multifunctional peptides with antibacterial and healing properties
Innovative peptides designed for enhanced skin penetration and efficacy in wound healing and skin repair. Delivered via PEGylated liposomes, these peptides promise long-lasting effects and improved skin health, targeting aging and rejuvenation.
Overview
The proposed technology involves multifunctional peptides designed for superior skin penetration and efficacy. These peptides are derived from natural proteins and target skin issues such as wound healing and skin repair. The innovation lies in the peptides' ability to deliver targeted anti-aging and skin-enhancing effects, addressing common challenges in the skincare industry like wrinkle reduction, skin smoothing, and rejuvenation. By enhancing permeability and stability, these peptides aim to outperform existing solutions, offering long-lasting benefits.
Technical specifications
- High permeability and efficacy: Designed peptides show higher effectiveness compared to existing peptides like Syn-Ake and Argireline.
- Delivery system: Utilizes PEGylated liposomes for improved skin permeation and sustained effect.
- Screened candidates: Approximately 200 peptides screened, with novel designs based on natural enzyme mechanisms for better skin interaction.
Technology readiness level
This technology is currently at Technology Readiness Level 3, indicating that it has been validated in a laboratory setting and is ready for further testing and development using in vitro methods according to OECD guidelines.
