Special pharmacological features of pyracetam

Antihypoxic properties of organic compounds (A review)

“…Antihypoxic properties are observed among nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs [9, 10, 111, 1 t 2], nootropic agents [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], anticonvulsive drugs [I7, 20,21,25,42,110,130,134,145,153], and antiamnestic preparations [27,47,116,118].…”

Synthesis and psychotropic activity of new 2-pyrrolidone derivatives

“…Animals in the control groups were injected with the pure suspension. Reference drugs were represented by the tranquilizer phenybut [13] and the nootropic agent piracetam [14]. Each compound was tested in a group of 10-25 animals.…”

Modulation of long-term memory by delayed administration of the amide of L-pyroglutamyl-D-alanine, a nootropic agent, in spaced and massed training in rats

“…These substances, which stimulate higher integrative brain functions, can act on memory formation [5,6,26]. In terms of the objectives of these studies, it was particularly important that their effects should be associated with the quite selective potentiation of longterm memory [21], at the same time as characterizing massed and spaced forms of learning.…”
