Decapeptide-12

Decapeptide-12, a competitive inhibitor of mushroom tyrosinase with an IC50 of 40 µM and a Kd of 61.1 μM for the C-terminal residue of tyrosinase, is a small oligopeptide that reduces melanin content in melanocytes by interacting with tyrosinase and increasing transcription of SIRT. It is utilized in researching melanogenesis, senescence, and inflammation [1] [2] [3].

Delmitide acetate (RDP58) is an orally active d-isomer decapeptide with potent anti-inflammatory properties, suppressing TNF-α, IFN-γ, and interleukin (IL)-12 production, while enhancing heme oxygenase 1 activity. It is utilized in research related to ulcerative colitis [1] [2].
