PE-22-28

aka PE 22-28

Nootropic / Cognitive

Mechanism

PE-22-28 is a 7-amino-acid synthetic analog of spadin, a peptide fragment (residues 22-28) of the 44-aa propeptide (PE) released during post-translational maturation of sortilin (the neurotensin receptor-3). It is studied in preclinical models as a fast-acting antidepressant that works by selectively blocking the TREK-1 two-pore potassium channel. There is no established use for hair growth — that is a separate compound and the two should not be confused.

Shortened Spadin Analogs Display Better TREK-1 Inhibition, <i>In Vivo</i> Stability and Antidepressant Activity
Djillani A, Pietri M, Moreno S, Heurteaux C, Mazella J, Borsotto M. · Frontiers in pharmacology (2017) · animal

Depression is a devastating mental disorder that affects 20% of the population worldwide. Despite their proven efficacy, antidepressants present a delayed onset of action and serious adverse effects. Seven years ago, we described spadin (PE 12-28) as a promising endogenous peptide with antidepressant activity.
