PNA5 Mechanism of Action
PNA5 Mechanism of Action
• PNA5 is a glycosylated-Angiotensin-(1-7) peptide related to the Renin-Angiotensin family
• PNA5 binds to small GPCR Mas receptor
• PNA5 activation of Mas results in inhibition of inflammation, ROS and increased brain blood flow via activation of e-NOS.
• Through these mechanisms, PNA5 actions result in neuroprotection and improved memory function.

PNA5 Mechanism of Action
Validated Mas receptor biology enables expansion into additional neurovascular, neurodegenerative, and neuroinflammatory disorders.
NEUROVASCULAR: Active human studies in traumatic brain injury and post-operative cognitive impairment with PNA1 demonstrate ready translation of PNA5 to human studies.
NEURODEGENERATIVE: Preclinical program in Parkinson's cognitive impairment and exploratory work in cerebral amyloid angiopathy extend the platform's reach into chronic disease.
NEUROINFLAMMATORY: NIH-funded development in neuropathic and inflammatory pain confirms mechanism continuity in peripheral and central inflammation.
Each expansion uses the shared biomarker suite and regulatory system, requiring no new infrastructure.
