These results demonstrate that the small-molecule ghrelin receptor agonists profiled here readily cross the blood/brain barrier and elicit pro-cognitive effects in recognition and spatial learning and memory tests. Based on these observations, the central ghrelin receptor would appear to be a chemically tractable receptor and perhaps should be considered as a new drug target for therapeutic approaches to treat diseases affecting cognition.

While further clinical study is essential, our preliminary finding suggested that medical practitioners need to be prudent when managing epileptic patients who are co-administered with both VA and LA.
