S-17092
S-17092
is a
drug
which
acts
as a
selective
inhibitor
of the
enzyme
prolyl endopeptidase
. This enzyme is
involved
in the
metabolic
breakdown
of a number of
neuropeptide
neurotransmitters
in
the brain
, and so
inhibiting
the
action
of the enzyme increases the
activity
of these
neuropeptides
. This produces
nootropic
effects
which make S-17092 a promising and
novel
treatment
for
neurodegenerative
conditions
such as
Alzheimer's disease
and
Parkinson's disease
.
