Pramiracetam

Description: Pramiracetam (also known as CI-879) is investigated for its cognition-enhancing properties. A lower dosage of pramiracetam (100 mg/kg i.p.) was inadequate on NOS mRNA expression and chemical action. Interestingly, organization of pramiracetam (300 mg/kg i.p.) in rats pretreated (24 h before) with lithium chloride (LiCl) (3 mEq/kg i.p.) yielded a 40% expansion in cortical NOS action. Be that as it may, in LiCl-pretreated rats this nootropic neglected to influence cortical NOS mRNA expression; LiCl (3 mEq/kg i.p.) given alone delivered no impact. In summary, the present information show that pramiracetam given alone or in blend with LiCl builds NOS movement in mind cortical homogenates of rats and this might add to the components fundamental learning and memory change created by this nootropic.
