1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

VA-β-MSH: Acts as a potent agonist at melanocortin receptors (MC1R, MC3R, MC4R, MC5R). It binds to MC1R on melanocytes to stimulate tyrosinase activity and melanin synthesis, and interacts with MC3R/MC4R in the hypothalamus to regulate energy balance and suppress inflammation.

    γ-Lipotropin: Promotes lipolysis in adipocytes by activating hormone-sensitive lipase, releasing free fatty acids into the bloodstream. It also serves as a precursor to β-endorphin, exerting weak opioid effects on the central nervous system.


      2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

      Skin pigmentation disorders and photoprotection mechanisms

      Obesity and metabolic syndrome pathways

      Neuroendocrine regulation of appetite and energy homeostasis

      Anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory responses

      Opioid peptide biosynthesis and pain signaling


      3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

      VA-β-MSH: Effective in inducing skin darkening for photoprotection in UV-exposed skin, and reducing inflammation in models of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.γ-Lipotropin: Shows potential in mobilizing stored fat in animal models of obesity, with implications for lipid disorder therapies.Both peptides are being investigated for their role in regulating stress responses and mood disorders via the POMC pathway.
