Traneurocin (developmental code name NA-831), also known as cycloprolylglycine (CPG), is a racetam-like drug which is under development for the treatment of COVID-19, Alzheimer's disease, fragile X syndrome, Rett syndrome, major depressive disorder, and other neurological disorders. [2] [3] [4] In the case of COVID-19, it is specifically being developed for treatment of COVID-19-induced neuropathy. [5]

Pharmacology

Pharmacodynamics

The mechanism of action of traneurocin is either unknown or undisclosed. [6] [7] However, it has been described as acting as a positive allosteric modulator of the AMPA receptor and has been found to increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels. [2] [8] [4] [9] It has also been found to act as a positive allosteric modulator of the GABAA receptor. [10] The drug is described as having neuroprotective, neurogenesis-stimulating, and pro-cognitive or nootropic effects. [11] [12] [5] [1] [4] It has also been reported to have antihypoxic and anxiolytic properties. [13] [4]

Pharmacokinetics

It is known to be an endogenous compound present at micromolar concentrations in the rat brain and readily crosses the blood–brain barrier. [1] [4]

Chemistry

Chemically, traneurocin is a synthetic cyclized dipeptide composed of the amino acids glycine and proline. [3] [14] [15]

Clinical trials

As of September 2024, traneurocin is in phase 3 clinical trials for COVID-19, phase 2 clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease, [16] fragile X syndrome, and Rett syndrome, and phase 1 clinical trials for major depressive disorder. [2] No development has been reported for treatment of other neurological disorders. [2] Traneurocin was first developed, under the name cycloprolylglycine (CPG), in Russia in 1991 as a drug related structurally and pharmacologically to piracetam. [13] [4] [17] Cycloprolylglycine is also related to and known to be the major metabolite of omberacetam (Noopept). [13]

Another drug, vineurocin (NA-704), is also being developed for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. [18] [19] This drug is described as a recombinant growth hormone with neuroprotective and neurogenic effects. [20]
