High quality CAS NO.72432-10-1 Aniracetam

Levetiracetam class brain cell metabolism drugs

Aniracetam, also known as aniracetam, together with piracetam and nefiracetam, belong to the same class of piracetam metabolized drugs of brain cells. 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.

Pharmacological effects

Aniracetam, a cyclized derivative of γ-aminobutyric acid, can improve the brain function. It can selectively exert effect on central nervous system through penetration into blood-brain barrier. It can activate the metabolism activity of brain cell and protect the nerve cells. This product can also promote the intelligence by affecting the glutamate receptor system. Moreover, it improves skin’s resistance to hypoxia, preventing the occurrence of malfunction of learning and memory caused by a variety of chemical substances, hypercapnia, scopolamine and electrical shock. This product has no sedative or excitation effect. Animal experiments show that this product promotes the memory recovery in normal rats’ learning process. It can fight against hypoxia-induced memory recession and relieve the memory malfunction caused by certain reasons.
[Indications] It is used for the treatment of mild or moderate malfunction of learning, memory and cognition in vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease. It can also be used for treating memory recession after stroke, memory defect in old people and children who undergo development retardation.
