Cortexin — living evidence map
The Atlas page holds the claims; this is how its evidence evolved.
Summary
In a Russian multicenter randomized study in 189 patients with chronic cerebral ischemia, intramuscular cortexin reduced neurological symptoms, asthenia and sleep disturbance in a dose-dependent way compared with basic treatment alone. · pmid:30335070
Classification
Cortexin is a lyophilised extract of animal cerebral cortex containing neuropeptides, amino acids and trace elements; it is not a single defined compound. · pmid:26356623
Mechanism
In rat models of acute and chronic brain ischemia, cortexin improved recovery of neurological function and reduced tissue damage; labelled cortexin crossed the blood-brain barrier in mice at 6-8% of blood levels. · pmid:34260655
Identity
No public registry record is shown for this page: PubChem gave no record that proves it is this substance.
Where the evidence actually sits
Proportion of the 3 claims about Cortexin standing at each tier. Community volume is shown on the Consensus tab beside this and is never averaged into it.
Living evidence history
3 resolved citations, oldest to newest, coloured by tier. Retractions and contradictions land here as they are recorded.
Structure
No structure representation on record. PepJunkie draws only what an authoritative record supplies; for a peptide that is the residue sequence, and none has been curated for Cortexin yet.
Dose evidence, rung by rung
No established safe human dose. Nothing on file establishes one. That is a statement about the evidence PepJunkie holds, not a promise about the molecule.
