R C Simpson et al.
Journal of chromatography, 631(1-2), 227-232 (1993-02-12)
Reversed-phase HPLC methodology utilizing pre-column derivatization and post-column reaction fluorimetric detection has been developed and applied to the determination of oxiracetam in human plasma. The method involves preliminary isolation of oxiracetam and internal standard from plasma by solid-phase extraction prior
C Mondadori et al.
Behavioural brain research, 77(1-2), 223-225 (1996-05-01)
The memory-enhancing effects of a single treatment with the GABAB antagonist CGP 36,742 (10 mg/kg) or the nootropic agent oxiracetam (100 mg/kg) given immediately after a learning experience ('post-trial') remain detectable for at least 4 months thereafter. This indicates that

Brain research, 768(1-2), 197-207 (1997-11-22)
Previous studies demonstrated that DBA/2J (DBA) mice performed poorly while C57BL/6J (C57) mice performed normally on a number of complex learning and memory tasks. Chronic oxiracetam treatment dramatically improved the performance of DBA mice but not that of C57 mice

European journal of pharmacology, 272(2-3), 203-209 (1995-01-16)
Oxiracetam, aniracetam and D-cycloserine, three putative cognition enhancers, were examined in a functional assay for NMDA receptors. Rat hippocampal slices or synaptosomes were labeled with [3H]noradrenaline and exposed to NMDA or glutamate in superfusion. NMDA (100 microM) elicited a remarkable

A method was developed for the determination of oxiracetam concentration in serum and urine by HPLC. Acyclovir was used as an internal standard. The analytical column was a stainless-steel column (30 mm x 4.6 mm ID) filled with 10 microns
