A synthetic heptapeptide (TKPRPGP) based on the immunomodulatory peptide tuftsin, studied in Russian pre-clinical anxiolytic research.

Education Hub

Pre-clinical mechanism

Animal models describe modulation of GABAergic tone, BDNF and enkephalin expression, with anxiolytic-like behavioural effects in rodent maze paradigms.

Key pre-clinical findings

  • Rodent elevated plus-maze and open field: anxiolytic-like effects comparable to medazepam (Kozlovskii & Danchev, 2003).
