“…14 15 Most of the potential therapeutic applications of TRH are based on its broad spectrum of stimulatory actions within the CNS. Moreover, TRH has been found beneficial in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, 16 depression, 17 18 epilepsy, [19][20][21] spinal trauma 22 etc. The use of TRH as a CNS-active agent is, however, hampered by factors such as its short half-life that does not allow its effective penetration into blood brain barrier.…”

“…The use of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) in the treatment of intractable epilepsy such as infantile spasms, Lennox−Gastaut syndrome, myoclonic seizures and refractory partial seizures, is clinically well-known. 2,3 However, TRH has poor oral bioavailability and short plasma half-life, which limit its clinical utility. 4,5 Various TRH analogues synthesized by substituting the C2 position of the imidazole ring with alkyl groups of varying sizes have been reported.…”

“…Therefore, epilepsy remains a significant therapeutic challenge despite current advances in the treatment. The use of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) in the treatment of intractable epilepsy such as infantile spasms, Lennox–Gastaut syndrome, myoclonic seizures and refractory partial seizures, is clinically well-known. , However, TRH has poor oral bioavailability and short plasma half-life, which limit its clinical utility. , …”

“…Importantly, a recent study using the JK4D Trh peptide analogue showed it can improve KA-induced cognitive deficits, reduce KA-induced free radical production and neuronal damage in the striatum, and improve disease progression and functionality in transgenic G93A-SOD1 mouse model of ALS [228]. The administration of Trh analogues has also been assessed in the clinic, with modest results in seizure suppression [229], whilst the therapeutic potential of Trh analogues for other neurodegenerative diseases such as AD and PD has been long recognized [230].…”
