Biochem/physiol Actions

Pramiracetam is a potent nootropic agent that is a member of the racetam drug family. Pramiracetam improves cognitive deficits associated with traumatic brain injuries. Also, pramiracetam is a specific inhibitor of prolyl endopeptidase.
Pramiracetam plays an important role in spatial learning and memory in rats. It is considered as a memory enhancing agent and is stronger than piracetam.
