Кинетин

Описание

Kinetin (or Vivakin) was introduced as Kinerase in the US as a new ingredient for the treatment of age related photodamage of skin. This 6- furfurylaminopurine is a synthetic cytokinin, a family of plant growth factors, and was shown to be a highly potent growth factor. In vitro, it was able to delay or prevent the onset of age-related changes in skin cells without affecting cellular lifespan. In a double-blind clinical trial, Kinetin (0.005%) partially reversed the clinical signs of photodamaged skin and demonstrated a good safety profile. It could have potential in psoriasis as well as in other proliferative skin disorders.
