Aniracetam, also known as N-anisoyl-2-pyrrolidinone, together with piracetam and nefiracetam, belongs to the same class of piracetam-metabolized drugs of brain cells. It is a non-NMDA receptor agent useful for the treatment of cognitive impairment. These drugs can enhance the activity of synaptic neurons phospholipase, increase the ATP formation and transport in the brain, increase protein synthesis and RNA, promote the usage of the brain on amino acids, phospholipids, glucose, and oxygen, increase the patient’s response, excitability and memory. Aniracetam modulates AMPA receptors which are involved in how glutamate is used in your brain. More of the neurotransmitter glutamate is available. Which means better neural signaling across synapses. Your brain is working optimally despite stress, fatigue, and anxiety.
