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.

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
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
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 preliminary trials, nefiracetam, a gamma aminobutyric compound, enhanced blood flow and improved mood following stroke. Within 3 months following stroke with major depression, 159 patients were enrolled in a double-blind trial of nefiracetam or placebo. Repeated measures analysis of
Animal models of drug discrimination have been used to examine the subjective effects of addictive substances. The cAMP system is a crucial downstream signaling pathway implicated in the long-lasting neuroadaptations induced by addictive drugs. We examined effects of rolipram, nefiracetam
