Davunetide · NAPVSIPQ

NAP (NAPVSIPQ) is an 8-amino-acid neuroprotective peptide derived from activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP). It stabilizes microtubules by interacting with tubulin, protecting neurons against tau pathology, amyloid toxicity, and oxidative damage. Phase 2 trials in schizophrenia and progressive supranuclear palsy have been completed; research is ongoing for Alzheimer's disease and autism spectrum disorder.
