Description
Ercanetide (NNZ 2591) is a synthetic analogue of a small peptide of cyclic glycine proline (cGP). Ercanetide shows orally active and cross the blood-brain barrier. Ercanetide shows neuroprotective after ischemic brain injury. NNZ 2591 improves motor function in a rat model of Parkinson's disease. Ercanetide has the potential for the research of ischemic brain injury and angelman syndrome
