A peptide is proposed having the general formula acetyl-X-ARG-ARG-amide, where X=-(D-ARG)-ARG-; -(D-LYS)-LYS- or -(D-MET)-MET-. On the basis of the combination of pharmacological properties identified, a preparation could have potential for future clinical use as a nootropic, neuroprotective and antidepressant agent.
