What is Ang IV?
Angiotensin IV is a hexapeptide fragment of angiotensin II that acts through the AT4/IRAP pathway. In cognition research it is associated with memory processing and synaptic plasticity, with effects linked to central cholinergic modulation.
Key Benefits & Mechanisms
spatial memory
learning consolidation
synaptic plasticity
cholinergic support
Research Summary
Angiotensin IV has been used in animal studies as a memory-enhancing probe rather than a routine therapeutic. The strongest findings point to improved learning-related signaling in brain regions tied to attention and memory consolidation.

GPE
Glycyl-L-prolyl-L-glutamic acid
Glycyl-L-prolyl-L-glutamic acid (GPE) is a tripeptide derived from IGF-1 processing that has been studied for neuroprotection and synaptic support. It has been explored in models of learning, memory retention, and injury-related cognitive decline.

Activity-Dependent Neuroprotective Protein fragment NAP (NAPVSIPQ)
Davunetide is an eight-amino-acid peptide, also known as NAP, derived from the ADNP protein. It has been studied for microtubule stabilization, neuroprotection, and potential effects on cognition in neurodegenerative and injury models.
Cognitive EnhancementNoopept
N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester
Noopept is a peptide-derived cognitive enhancer used as a research compound and sold in some markets as a nootropic. It is studied for memory, attention, and neurotrophic signaling, especially in animal and limited human data.
Cognitive EnhancementArginine Vasopressin
8-Arginine Vasopressin
Arginine vasopressin is a naturally occurring nonapeptide hormone that also has documented CNS effects on memory and social cognition. In research settings it has been studied for its potential to influence consolidation, recall, and arousal-linked learning.
