Amerigo Scientific Launches LioPep-5 for Cosmetic Applications – Digital Journal

Amerigo Scientific recently announced the launch of its new cosmetic peptide – LioPep-5 – to protect skin from toxins and pollutants.

New York, USA – October 28, 2022 – Amerigo Scientific, a distributor focused on providing critical products and services to the biomedical and life sciences community, recently announced the launch of its new cosmetic peptides – LioPep-5 – to protect skin from toxins and pollutants. These peptides are synthetically manufactured and free from animal products, making them stable and non-toxic to human cell culture.

Venom is a mixture that animals have developed for protection and predation. Although composition varies from animal to animal, most venoms are heterogeneous mixtures of inorganic salts, small organic molecules, peptides, and enzymes. Many species of animals secrete venom and include almost all the different phyla of the animal kingdom, such as molluscs, arthropods, and vertebrates. As natural products, the most diverse toxins offer almost unlimited opportunities to discover possible clues. Venom-derived products and tools are now widely used in cosmetics and medicine.

Poisons contain a variety of antibacterial and antifungal peptides that are not only functional but also biodegradable. Some venom peptides that modulate ion channels (such as NAV, K2PS, ASIC, and CAV) can be used for anti-wrinkle, rejuvenation, and sensitive skin. Amerigo Scientific has partnered with the world’s leading suppliers to offer cosmetic products with active toxic peptides such as anti-inflammatory peptides, anti-pollution peptides and other novel skin-improving peptides.

Amerigo Scientific now offers a range of venom-derived screening tools and novel peptides for drug discovery, cosmetics and plant science such as B. the newly released LioPep-5. Lionfish (Pterois spp.) are tropical reef fish that can quickly colonize new reefs that deal with toxins from marine pollution by attaching themselves to toxic substances (heavy metals and organic chlorides), thereby keeping the toxin off their skin. Similarly, the same toxins are present in polluted city air and can accumulate on human skin.

LioPep-5™ is a bioactive peptide derived from lionfish that binds zinc and other metal ions. Meanwhile, moisturizers can be formulated to protect the skin by binding ions and sequestering them. Exfoliants, cleansers, and face washes can also be formulated to remove toxins. Last but not least, LioPep-5™ has been shown to reduce zinc contamination by up to 89%.
