Leteprinim (Neotrofin, AIT-082) is a hypoxanthine derivative drug with neuroprotective and nootropic effects. [1] [2] [3] It stimulates release of nerve growth factors and enhances survival of neurons in the brain, [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] and is under development as a potential treatment for neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and stroke. [9] [10]
