Biochem/physiol Actions

Nefiracetam (NEF) is a pyrrolidonetype nootropic agent with various pharmacologic as well as cognition enhancing effects. In amygdala-kindled seizures, nefiracetam inhibits both electroencephalographic and behavioral seizures. NEF has a distinct anticonvulsant spectrum.
Novel pyrrolidonetype nootropic (condition enhancing) agent with anticonvulsant spectrum.

The occurrence of renal papillary necrosis (RPN), seen only in dogs after repeated oral administration of nefiracetam, a neurotransmission enhancer, at a relatively high dose, is because of inhibition of renal prostaglandin synthesis by the nefiracetam metabolite M-18. In this

The cholinergic and glutamatergic systems are known to be downregulated in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients. Galantamine and nefiracetam have been shown to potentiate the phasic activity of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in the brain. Stimulation of nAChRs is

In this work, we are the first to identify thirteen cocrystals of Nefiracetam, a poor water-soluble nootropic compound. Three of which were obtained with the biocompatible cocrystallization agents citric acid, oxalic acid, and zinc chloride. These latter have been fully

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are known to be down-regulated in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients. We have previously demonstrated that the nootropic drug nefiracetam potentiates the activity of both nicotinic acetylcholine and NMDA receptors and that

Nefiracetam is a novel pyrrolidone-type nootropic agent, and it has been reported to possess a potential for antiepileptic therapy as well as cognition-enhancing effects. We investigated the anticonvulsant and neuroprotective effects of nefiracetam in kainic acid-induced seizures of rats, compared
