1-(4-methoxybenzoyl)pyrrolidin-2-one
Aniracetam is a nootropic racetam derivative that primarily acts through the modulation of AMPA receptors, thereby supporting synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions. It additionally influences the cholinergic system, which may contribute to the improvement of memory and learning ability. The substance is being researched for neuroprotective effects and potential applications in cognitive disorders. Side effects are generally mild and rare.
