| Bioactivity | Argireline (Acetyl hexapeptide-3) is a non-toxic, skin-permeable, antiwrinkle peptide. Argireline significantly inhibits Ca2+ dependent neurotransmitter release (acetylcholine) at the neuromuscular junction. Argireline has antiwrinkle and anti-aging activity[1][2][3]. | ||||||
| Invitro | The incubation of Argireline solution in different concentrations with human embryonic kidney HEK-293 (IC50 of 34.862 μM) and neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells (IC50 of 68.458 μM)) for 48 h have dose dependent antiproliferative effect. Argireline solution incubated in different concentrations with HSF has a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect on those cells. Cellular proliferation is not effected in Argireline low concentration[2]. | ||||||
