Popis: NAP (NAPVSIPQ) provides broad neuroprotection through microtubule interaction. Here, NAP was investigated for neuroprotection in an in vivo tauopathy model. Transgenic mice (2-month-old) that express the human double mutant tau protein [P301S;K257T] fused to the tau promoter, were subjected to daily intranasal drug treatment for ∼5 months. Results showed increased performance in the NAP-treated mice compared to controls, as demonstrated in the Morris water maze, (p
