Meccanismo d'azione
Cerebrolysin
Cerebrolysin is a mixture of low-molecular-weight peptides (predominantly below 10 kDa) and free amino acids obtained by enzymatic cleavage of lipid-free porcine brain proteins. The manufacturer and preclinical literature describe a neurotrophic and neuroprotective mode of action said to mimic endogenous neurotrophic factors; cell and animal models have reported effects on neuronal survival, synaptogenesis and anti-apoptotic signalling (including PI3K/Akt). Because it is a complex, incompletely characterised mixture, the precise mechanism in humans remains unclear.
Lanreotid
Lanreotide activates somatostatin receptors (chiefly SSTR2, additionally SSTR5), thereby suppressing the release of growth hormone, IGF-1 and various gastrointestinal and neuroendocrine hormones. It is metabolically far more stable than natural somatostatin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Cerebrolysin and Lanreotid?
- Cerebrolysin is classified as "Ricerca (altro)", while Lanreotid is classified as "Ricerca (altro)". Cerebrolysin: Cerebrolysin (FPF-1070) is not a single peptide but a porcine-brain-derived preparation of low-molecular-weight peptides and free amino acids, produced by standardised enzymatic proteolysis. It is approved in several countries (including Austria, Russia and parts of Asia) for stroke, dementia and traumatic brain injury, but is not FDA-approved in the United States and not centrally approved by the EMA. Its efficacy is contested: Cochrane systematic reviews found no convincing benefit and flagged possible harm signals. Lanreotid: Lanreotide is a synthetic cyclic octapeptide analog of somatostatin. It binds preferentially to the somatostatin receptors SSTR2 and SSTR5 and is approved for treating acromegaly and certain neuroendocrine tumours. This page contrasts both neutrally and source-based — with no usage or dosing recommendation.
- Which peptide is better supported by science, Cerebrolysin or Lanreotid?
- The highest available evidence level is "RCT sull'uomo" for Cerebrolysin and "RCT sull'uomo" for Lanreotid. A higher evidence level means more robust data, but says nothing about suitability for an individual. The full body of evidence is on each peptide's own page.
- What is the legal status of Cerebrolysin and Lanreotid in Germany and the United States?
- Germania: Cerebrolysin — Non chiaro, Lanreotid — Su prescrizione. Stati Uniti: Cerebrolysin — Non approvato, Lanreotid — Su prescrizione. These are factual summaries with source and review date on the individual pages.
