PEPTIDES4ALL Cerebrolysin – Neurotrophic Peptide Mixture for Neuroprotection & Cognitive Research
PEPTIDES4ALL Cerebrolysin is a pharmacologically active peptide and amino acid complex derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of porcine brain proteins.
This low-molecular-weight neurotrophic mixture is designed to mimic the activity of endogenous neurotrophic factors, supporting neuronal survival, synaptic repair, and neuroplasticity.
Because of its multi-modal mechanism, Cerebrolysin has been extensively investigated in models of ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and neurodegeneration, making it one of the most studied neuroprotective compounds in peptide research.
At the cellular level, Cerebrolysin acts as a broad-spectrum neuropeptide modulator, influencing several overlapping pathways that govern neuronal growth, inflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.
Unlike single-target agents, it provides a multi-target approach to neuroprotection, mimicking the synergistic effects of natural growth factors such as BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and GDNF (glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor) (Frontiers in Neurology, 2023).
Its components cross the blood–brain barrier and interact with neuronal and glial cell populations, enhancing synaptic transmission, mitochondrial function, and neurite outgrowth, while simultaneously reducing oxidative damage and excitotoxicity (Lippincott Journals – Stroke, 2021).
