Pyratine
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The results have been prolific, resulting in over a dozen new compounds that have been successfully screened for biological activity and lack of cellular toxicity and two commercially ready, advanced and revolutionary cytokinins, Pyratine®and 4HBAP. Both compounds have been clinically tested in humans at leading Universities and have shown attributes more beneficial to treatment than any predecessor compound in ameliorating the signs of aging, including the only FDA approved anti-aging product, Renova®.

THE EVOLUTION OF CYTOKININ TECHNOLOGY
In 1955, the researchers at Pyratine LLC discovered the first cytokinin, kinetin, which became the leading selling anti-aging product in the US physician market.
Cytokinins are a class of plant growth factors which have been widely studied for their beneficial activity in plants and are well known for delaying senescence (aging) of leaves. Pyratine LLC scientists evaluated cytokinins’ beneficial effects in humans and found that particular cytokinins such as the active in Pyratine® products delayed the destruction of the fibroblast, the unit in the cell that produces collagen and elastin, significantly increased the mitochondrial activity thereby increasing the production of cellular bioenergy to ensure the skin’s vitality, demonstrated powerful antioxidant activity and helped repair your DNA.
Pyratine LLC conducts extensive tests on each cytokinin in humans to insure that they are non-toxic and have beneficial biological activity; these positive findings are then validated in FDA controlled studies measuring the specifics of therapeutic benefits and recording any adverse events. Furfuryl tetrahydropyranyl adenine (Pyratine®) has undergone several controlled clinical trials at major medical institutions showing that it is virtually side effect free and provides multiple benefits to include anti-inflammatory response, amelioration of the signs of aging, increasing the water content of the skin and sun protection against UVC rays.
Our controlled human clinical trials and various laboratory tests also ensure that we avoid other mistakes that can compromise the efficacy and stability of products. One example of such an error occurred in the late 1980s and early 1990s when many cosmeceuticals in the retail market were formulated using the wrong pH, causing the active ingredient to “die” before the products even reached the shelves. Had strict testing been conducted, this mistake would have been realized before being purchased and used by countless consumers.
At Pyratine, we put your safety first and spare no expense. We do not test our products on animals, only on humans who volunteer for our trials. Further, our emphasis is on developing plant based compounds that are naturally occurring in nature, staying away from acids and harsh chemicals in our products. As stated throughout our website, our products have been formulated for sensitive and irritated skin, making them suitable for all skin types.
