PEPTIDES EXHIBITING EFFICACIES OF IMPROVEMENT IN SKIN CONDITIONS OR TREATMENT OF PERIODENTAL DISEASES

摘要

The present invention relates to a composition for improving a skin condition or treating a periodontal disease, which comprises as an active ingredient a basic fibroblast growth factor-derived peptide. The peptides of this invention exhibit superior efficacies and much better stability and skin permeation than natural- occurring bFGF. In these connections, the composition comprising the peptides of this invention can exhibit excellent efficacies on improvement in skin conditions and treatment of periodontal diseases. In addition, the peptides of this invention can be advantageously applied to pharmaceutical compositions, cosmetics, toothpaste and compositions for mouth cleaning and caring.
