SNAP-8 (Acetyl Octapeptide-3):
Type: Synthetic octapeptide developed as an anti-wrinkle cosmeceutical ingredient; a structural extension of the peptide fragment from Argireline® (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8).
Sequence: Ac–Glu-Glu-Met-Gln-Arg-Arg-Ala-Asp–NH₂
Molecular weight: ~888.0 Da
Main functions: Muscle contraction modulation. Inhibits catecholamine release by interfering with SNARE complex formation, mimicking the mechanism of botulinum toxin at a much lower potency.
Topical anti-aging activity: Reduces expression wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing facial muscle tension in cosmetic formulations.
Skin barrier support: Contributes to hydration and smoothness when used in peptide-based dermal research models.
Synergy potential: When combined with peptides like Argireline or Matrixyl (Palmitoyl peptides), may enhance collagen support and neuromuscular relaxation effects in anti-aging and dermatologic research applications.
