What is PE-22-28?
PE-22-28 is a synthetic 7-amino acid peptide analog of Spadin, a natural neuropeptide that inhibits the TREK-1 potassium channel. TREK-1 blockade increases serotonergic neurotransmission, producing rapid antidepressant-like effects in preclinical models within 4 days, compared to 2-3 weeks for classical SSRIs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does PE-22-28 differ from SSRIs?
PE-22-28 blocks TREK-1 potassium channels rather than inhibiting serotonin reuptake. This mechanism produces antidepressant-like effects in 4 days vs 2-3 weeks for SSRIs in preclinical models, and does not cause the same desensitization patterns.
