Cerebrolysin
Cerebrolysin
Also known as: FPF-1070, Brain Peptide Complex
Overview
Key Facts
Primary Goal: Research and therapeutic applications of Cerebrolysin
Mimics endogenous neurotrophic factors (BDNF, GDNF, NGF-like activity). Promotes neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity.
Dosing Information
~30 minutes (active metabolites persist longer)
5–30 mg
1x daily for 10-20 day cycles
10-20 day infusion cycles, repeated as needed
Benefits
- Promotes neuronal survival and brain plasticity
- Accelerates recovery after ischemic stroke
- Improves cognitive function in TBI patients
- Neurotrophic factor-like activity (mimics BDNF, NGF)
- May slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease
- Enhances synaptic density and dendritic branching
Side Effects
Mechanism of Action
