Description | Davunetide is an eight amino acid snippet derived from activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), a neurotrophic factor that exists in the mammalian CNS. Davunetide possesses neuroprotective, neurotrophic and cognitive protective roperties. Davunetide, a microtubule-stabilizing peptide, interacts with and stabilises neuron-specific βIII-tubulin in vitro. Davunetide penetrates the blood-brain barrier and is non-toxic. Davunetide inhibits Aβ aggregation and Aβ-induced neurotoxicity[1][2][3]. |

In Vivo | Davunetide (2 μg/kg; Intranasally; daily, 5 days a week, for 16 weeks) shows protective effects for central nervous system complications in a diabetes rat model[3]. Animal Model: Male Sprague-Dawley rats (Induced by an i.p. streptozotocin (STZ) injection)[3] Dosage: 2 μg/kg Administration: Intranasally beginning on the day following the STZ injection and were given daily, 5 days a week, for 16 weeks Result: Impaired spatial memory of the diabetic rats was observed in the water maze by attenuated learning curve and worsened performance in the probe memory test. Davunetide treatment significantly improved both measurements. |
