Cerebrolysin is a standardised porcine brain-derived neuropeptide mixture containing low-molecular-weight peptides (<10 kDa) that cross the blood-brain barrier. The active fraction contains peptide sequences with BDNF-like, NGF-like, CNTF-like, and IGF-1-like neurotrophic activity. Mechanism involves: TrkB receptor activation (BDNF pathway), TrkA receptor activation (NGF pathway), PI3K/Akt and MAPK/ERK neuroprotective signalling, and reduced glutamate excitotoxicity. Cerebrolysin has clinical trial evidence (stroke rehabilitation, Alzheimer's disease) making it among the best-characterised neuropeptide preparations. 85% amino acids, 15% peptide fragments by composition.
Research Applications
Neuroprotection
TrkB/TrkA activation for neural survival in ischaemia and excitotoxicity models
Cognitive Enhancement
BDNF/NGF pathway upregulation for synaptic plasticity and memory consolidation
Alzheimer’s Research
Amyloid reduction and tau pathology modulation — clinical trial evidence
Stroke Rehabilitation
Post-ischaemic neurogenesis and functional recovery — multiple RCTs
Neurogenesis
Adult hippocampal neurogenesis stimulation via BDNF-like peptide activity
Cerebrolysin is a standardised porcine brain-derived neuropeptide complex containing low-molecular-weight peptides that mimic BDNF, NGF, and CNTF neurotrophic activity. It crosses the BBB and activates TrkB/TrkA receptors for neuroprotection, cognitive enhancement, and neurogenesis. It has clinical evidence in stroke and Alzheimer’s research.
How is Cerebrolysin supplied?
QSC Cerebrolysin is supplied as a ready-to-use injectable solution — no reconstitution required. Store at 2–8°C refrigerated. Do not freeze. The solution is slightly yellow, which is normal for this neuropeptide complex.
What purity is QSC Cerebrolysin?
QSC Cerebrolysin maintains ≥99% HPLC purity specification with peptide profile confirmation on every batch. COA is published and verifiable at verify.janoshik.com.
