Leteprinim potassium salt (AIT 082) is primarily researched for its neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. It has shown potential in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, by promoting nerve growth and improving memory function. Additionally, it is being studied for its ability to enhance the survival and repair of neurons, making it a candidate for addressing conditions like stroke or traumatic brain injury. Its mechanism involves stimulating the release of neurotrophic factors, which support neuronal health and function. Research also explores its application in mitigating the effects of aging on the brain and improving overall cognitive performance.
