Cerebrolysin® is a multi-modal neuropeptide drug with a fast onset of action that helps to regain and maintain the independence of patients suffering from stroke, TBI, dementia and cognitive impairment
Cerebrolysin® improves the brain’s ability for self-repair by stimulating neurorecovery
Cerebrolysin is a synthetic nootropic drug which consists of low-molecular peptides and possesses neuroprotective and neurotrophic repair properties. The active fragment of cerebrolysin is made of proteins with very low molecular masses that do not exceed 10.000 daltons. This means they can penetrate the blood-brain barrier and reach neurons directly.
Cerebrolysin has been proven to have neurotrophic action similar to nerve growth factors, which cause peripheral and central neuronal stimulation. It improves efficiency within the brain’s aerobic metabolic processes and improves intracellular peptide synthesis.
The neuroprotective properties of this nootropic agent help to shield neurons from lactocidosis to prevent formation of free radicals. It has been used for treating stroke, traumatic brain injury, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Read on to learn more about the benefits and side effects of this peptide
Benefits of Cerebrolysin
Cerebrolysin has numerous potential uses for the brain. Here are some of the key benefits and uses.
Brain Protection and Cell Growth
Cerebrolysin protects brain cells and prevents their death due to harmful conditions (such as stroke and traumatic brain injuries). Cerebrolysin improved the recovery and outcome of patients after stroke and traumatic brain injury in 6 studies (including two DB-RCTs and over 600 subjects). It also improved communication skills in infants after severe brain injury (DB-RCT with 158 patients).
Additionally, cerebrolysin:
Promotes the growth of new brain cells (neurogenesis)
Lowers inflammation in the brain
Improves brain cell communication, which enhances learning capacity
Increases brain energy (by increasing glucose uptake by brain cells) and protein production in cells
Cerebrolysin significantly increased the number of new synapses in the hippocampus
Has been shown to promote neurovascular protection and repair
Beneficial effects on the improvement of cerebral endothelial cell integrity
Can significantly reduce the production of free radicals
Alzheimer's, Dementia, Depression, TBI & ADHD Treatments
Cerebrolysin increases brain levels of beta-amyloid deposits, which are linked to Alzheimer’s disease. A review of 15 clinical trials including 2,446 subjects found that high doses of this drug reduced psychological symptoms and slowed disease progression in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Further, in a study of 60 children with ADHD, cerebrolysin improved symptoms in 70 to 86% of subjects.
Finally, a combination of cerebrolysin with antidepressants was more effective in improving symptoms in patients with treatment-resistant depression than antidepressants alone
Conclusion
Clinical trials have reported that cerebrolysin can improve cognitive function in older people with memory problems and in those with schizophrenia, although the effects are modest. In a trial with schizophrenia patients, cerebrolysin treatment improved cognition and memory. Another trial of older adults with memory loss found that a peptide preparation derived from cerebrolysin improved memory performance but not verbal fluency. The effect on memory was lower than that of currently approved drugs for Alzheimer's disease. An uncontrolled clinical trial reported that healthy elderly people had better memory performance after one dose of cerebrolysin but this result could have been caused by the placebo effect.
No clinical studies have tested whether cerebrolysin can prevent dementia, but some preclinical research supports the idea. In preclinical studies, cerebrolysin protected neurons and brain slices from damage, reduced inflammation, promoted the formation of new neural connections (synapses), lessened cognitive impairment and reduced the plaques and tangles common in Alzheimer’s patients.
