P21
Synthetic nootropic peptide researched for synaptic plasticity.
Mechanism of Action
A synthetic peptide derived from cerebrolysin. Research suggests it promotes synaptic plasticity by enhancing BDNF expression and inhibiting prolyl endopeptidase, an enzyme involved in neurodegenerative processes.
Research Areas
Common Research Protocols
Intranasal administration studied for direct CNS penetration in cognitive research.
Protocols summarized for educational reference from published research. Not dosing guidance.
Cited Research
