2-[[(2S)-1-(2-phenylacetyl)prolyl]amino]acetic acid ethyl ester
Noopept is a synthetic nootropic that is primarily investigated for its potentially neuroprotective and cognitive-enhancing properties. It modulates glutamatergic receptors and may increase the expression of neurotrophic factors, which can contribute to the improvement of memory and learning ability. The substance is being studied in research regarding its effects on neurodegenerative diseases, with safety during intended use being assessed as relatively high.

IUPAC: 2-[[(2S)-1-(2-phenylacetyl)prolyl]amino]acetic acid ethyl ester
Receptor Profile
Der NMDA-Rezeptor ist ein ionotroper Glutamatrezeptor, der eine zentrale Rolle bei synaptischer Plastizität, Lernen und Gedächtnisbildung spielt. Er benötigt sowohl Glutamat als auch Glycin als Co-Agonisten zur Aktivierung.
Der AMPA-Rezeptor ist ein ionotroper Glutamatrezeptor, der die schnelle exzitatorische synaptische Übertragung im ZNS vermittelt. Er arbeitet eng mit NMDA-Rezeptoren bei der synaptischen Plastizität zusammen.

Avoid uncertain dosage claims and do not infer numbers when data is unclear.
Dose sensitivity varies greatly between individuals. Body weight, tolerance, route of administration, combinations, and pre-existing conditions significantly affect outcomes. These figures are not dosing recommendations — they describe reported ranges, not safe amounts.
