Biochem/physiol Actions

Ac-EEMQRR-NH2 is a SNAP25 N-terminal-derived peptide that inhibits the SNARE complex and possibly blocks neuronal exocytosis. Ac-EEMQRR-NH2 exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-wrinkle activity. It is used as anti-wrinkle cosmetics ingredient.
Ac-EEMQRR-NH2 trifluoroacetate salt is considered 4000 times less toxic than botulin toxin. It has restricted transdermal penetration and hence has limited application for topical usage.

Facial wrinkles are the predominant phenotypes of skin aging. To date, one of the most effective ways to improve wrinkles is botulinum toxin type A (BoNT/A) injection, which inhibits muscle contractions by reducing acetylcholine release from neurons. However, since BoNT/A
