BGT™ 9-P1 is a biomimetic peptide specifically designed to inhibit melanin synthesis by interfering with the action of tyrosinase in melanocytes. Nonapeptide-1 effectively antagonizes α-MSH (Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), which binds to the MC1-Receptor to activate melanocytes for melanin production. By blocking the α-MSH from binding to receptors on melanocytes, BGT™ 9-P1 prevents further activation of the tyrosinase receptor, reducing hyperpigmentation and lightening areas damaged by sun exposure and certain diseases. Clinically, it shows a significant whitening effect on Asians, has no cytotoxicity, and does not affect melanocyte function, making it an ideal skin whitening agent effective in controlling poor skin tone and age spots.
