Trofinetide
Trofinetide is a synthetic analog of glycine-proline-glutamate (GPE), a naturally occurring N-terminal tripeptide fragment of insulin-like growth factor-1, that modulates neuroinflammation and synaptic function in the brain. It is approved for the treatment of Rett syndrome in adults and pediatric patients, a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by MECP2 gene mutations, where it reduces core symptoms. Its mechanism involves reducing neuroinflammation and supporting synaptic integrity in affected neural circuits.
