Cerebrolysin

Meaning

Cerebrolysin is a neurotrophic drug, typically a peptide mixture derived from porcine brain proteins, utilized clinically for its neuroprotective and neurorestorative properties. It contains low-molecular-weight biologically active peptides that mimic the action of endogenous neurotrophic factors, supporting neuronal survival, differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. While not a classic hormone, its impact on central nervous system function is relevant to the neuro-endocrine axis and cognitive health.
