Synthetic TREK-1 channel antagonist

Overview

Synthetic nootropic peptide that enhances cognition through TREK-1 potassium channel inhibition.

Mechanism of Action

Potently blocks TREK-1 potassium channels (~100-fold more than spadin), increases neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission, upregulates BDNF expression, promotes hippocampal neurogenesis within 4 days, enhances serotonergic transmission.

Key Benefits

  • ✓Rapid cognitive enhancement
  • ✓Improves memory and learning
  • ✓Reduces depression and anxiety
  • ✓Promotes neurogenesis
  • ✓Enhances executive function
  • ✓Fast-acting (effects within days)
