Aniracetam

Aniracetam is a white or colorless solid. It has a molecular structure that consists of an organic compound with a methoxy group attached to one side of a benzene ring, and a carboxylic acid group attached to the other side. It forms crystals when dissolved in ethanol, and has a melting point of 121-122°C. Exhibits acute toxicity in rats and mice, with LD50 values of approximately 4500mg/kg and >5000mg/kg when administered orally.

개요Aniracetam, also known as N-anisoyl-2-pyrrolidinone, together with piracetam and nefiracetam, belong to the same class of piracetam metabolized drugs of brain cells. It is a non-NMDA receptor agent useful for the treatment of cognitive impairment. These drugs can enhance the activity of synaptic neurons phospholipase, increase the ATP formation and transport in brain, increase protein synthesis and RNA, promote the usage of brain on amino acids, phospholipids, glucose and oxygen, increase the patient's response, excitability and memory. Aniracetam has a higher effect than piracetam, but with a relatively minor side effect. It is well tolerated and efficacious in improving velocity and accuracy of the saccades, complex reaction time, and other aspects of performance.

용도Aniracetam is AMPA receptor potentiator with Cognition enhancer related to Piracetam. It is used as a nootropic drug to ameliorate memory and attention disturbances accompanying cerebrovascular diseases and degenerative brain disorders. Compound with anti-depressive properties used as a mental performance enhancer. Slows the rate of ion-channel closing.
