Product Description

Mechanism of Action

Product Description

1. Mechanism of Action (MOA)

Decarboxy Carnosine Hydrochloride is a stabilized derivative of L-carnosine with enhanced bioavailability and cellular penetration. Its primary mechanisms include:

Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs) Inhibition
Acts as a potent carbonyl quencher, neutralizing reactive dicarbonyl species (e.g., methylglyoxal, glyoxal) that drive protein cross-linking and AGEs formation. Protects collagen and elastin fibers from glycation-induced stiffness and yellowing.
Mitochondrial Protection
Reduces glycative and oxidative stress in mitochondria, preserving cellular energy production and delaying senescence.
Anti-Inflammatory Activity
Suppresses NF-κB pathway activation and downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-6, TNF-α).

2. In Vitro Efficacy Data

  • AGEs Inhibition: 92% reduction in methylglyoxal-induced collagen glycation at 0.05 mM.
  • Carbonyl Quenching Capacity: 4.5-fold higher than L-carnosine in glycation simulation models.
  • Collagen Protection: 80% decrease in fluorescent AGEs formation in human dermal fibroblasts.
  • Cellular Viability: 40% reduction in ROS levels under glycative stress.

Clinical Results

Study Design: 8-week randomized trial on 50 subjects (35–60 years) using a cream containing 1.5% Decarboxy Carnosine HCl.

📈 Skin Elasticity

21% improvement (cutometer R7 parameter).

Wrinkle Depth

28% reduction in periocular wrinkles by 3D image analysis.

🛡️ Skin Clarity
