P21 (Cerebrolysin-derived)

P21, also known as P021, is a small peptide derived from the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF). It acts as a CNTF small-molecule peptidomimetic that inhibits leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) signaling while promoting BDNF expression and neurogenesis. Research shows promise in Alzheimer's disease models, cognitive enhancement, and neurodegenerative conditions.
