Oxiracetam
CAS 62613-82-5
Oxiracetam is coveted for its purported nootropic abilities to improve memory and learning while helping support the brain and keep it healthy.It also has mild stimulant properties.
Studies have shown that Oxiracetam can support semantic memory, verbal recall, and reading.
Research has shown that Oxiracetam does this at least partly through its ability to bring about long-lasting increases in neurotransmission in certain synapses. This is not the only possible mechanism, however. Oxiracetam may also be blocking NMDA-receptor antagonists.
In other words, what is probably happening is a system linked to high functioning in the brain is protected from blockages through Oxiracetam.That being said, there is also the possibility that it increases NMDA-receptor sensitivity, requiring less activity for greater effect.
While the racetams are similar, it appears that Oxiracetam works a bit differently than Aniracetam or Pramiracetam, even though the direct mechanisms of the racetams are still up for debate. What is not up for debate are the multitude of positive effects that keep this family of nootropics a popular choice in the nootropic community.
