This is a post from 13 July, though it looks like it's referencing an earlier report from October 2012

maybe I haven't been reading properly but I always thought 2566 was seen purely as a treatment; I hadn't seen it suggested as a preventative treatment.

NNZ- 2566 is a pill developed to improve the outcome after an acute brain trauma. According to U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC), which develops technologies to protect soldiers, a fighter could swallow the pill before the risk of head trauma even comes up. The drug would protect the neurological tissue in the event of a blow to the head. Beyond protection from initial injury, a drug that could stimulate or improve neuronal healing and repair could also help reduce long-term damage. An analog of a naturally occurring small-molecule neuro-protectant, it has been effect in numerous in vitro and in vivo models of brain injury, whether taken orally or intravenously. NNZ- 2566 is currently being examined for safety and efficacy in a 260-patient Phase 2 clinical trial.
