neurogenesis

Spadin TFA, a natural peptide originating from a propeptide in blood, acts as a powerful TREK-1 channel inhibitor with an IC 50 of 10 nM. It boosts dorsal raphe nucleus 5-HT neurotransmission in mice, activates hippocampal CREB, and promotes neurogenesis. This compound is useful for antidepressant research [1] [2].

MR 409, a selective growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) agonist, exhibits notable neuroprotective properties by augmenting endogenous neurogenesis in cerebral ischemic mice and demonstrates the ability to inhibit in vivo lung cancer growth [1] [2] [3] [4].
