CAS Number: 157115-85-0
Format: Encapsulated Dipeptide Reagent
Chemical Description
Noopept is a proline-containing dipeptide chemically designated as N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester. It functions as a prodrug that metabolizes into the endogenous neuropeptide cycloprolylglycine. In biochemical research, Noopept is investigated for its capacity to modulate the DNA-binding activity of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) and its downstream effects on neurotrophin expression. It is a key reagent for modeling synaptic plasticity mechanisms and cellular stress responses in vitro.
