ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8 (ARGIRELINE®), a hexapeptide Ac-EEMQRR-NH2, is an anti-wrinkling agent. It significantly inhibits neurotransmitter release with a potency similar to that of botulinum toxin. ACETYL HEXAPEPTIDE-8 (ARGIRELINE®) is a mimic of the N-terminal end of SNAP-25 which competes with SNAP-25 for a position in the SNARE complex, thereby modulating its formation. If the SNARE complex is slightly destabilized, the vesicle can not release neurotransmitters efficiently and therefore muscle contraction is attenuated, preventing the formation of lines and wrinkles.
