Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 Structure

Synonyms: Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12, N-Myristoyl-L-prolyl-L-prolyl-L-tyrosyl-L-leucine, Myristoyl-Pro-Pro-Tyr-Leu-OH, Myristoyl tetrapeptide, CAS 959610-54-9 (assigned by analogy)

Myristoyl Tetrapeptide-12 is a synthetic lipopeptide composed of a myristic acid chain attached to a tetrapeptide sequence (proline, proline, tyrosine, leucine). The myristoyl group enhances the peptide’s lipophilicity, allowing it to penetrate the stratum corneum and deliver bioactive amino acid sequences to the deeper layers of the skin. This peptide is designed for cosmetic applications, particularly in anti-aging and skin-restructuring formulations.

 

In advanced cosmetic products, this peptide is used at low concentrations (typically 1-5%) to stimulate collagen production, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall skin firmness. Its compatibility with a wide range of emulsion systems makes it a versatile ingredient for serums, creams, and lotions targeting mature or stressed skin.

Function

  • Anti-aging: Stimulates collagen synthesis and improves skin elasticity.
  • Skin restructuring: Helps to reinforce the dermal matrix, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant activity: Tyrosine residue provides free radical scavenging properties.
  • Moisturizing: Enhances skin barrier function and reduces transepidermal water loss.
  • Soothing: May help calm irritated skin due to its peptide composition.

  • Source: Synthetic peptide, produced via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
  • Extraction: Not applicable (synthetic origin)
  • Standardization: ≥98% purity (HPLC)
  • Forms: White to off-white powder
  • Applications: Cosmetic anti-aging products, skin care serums, creams, and lotions
