Product Overview
Noopept is the brand name for N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester, also known as GVS-111 or Omberacetam, a synthetic peptide-derived compound. While often grouped with the Racetam family due to its similar mechanisms, Noopept is structurally distinct and demonstrates significantly higher potency on a milligram-per-milligram basis in laboratory models.
In research settings, Noopept is primarily utilized to study pro-sensitizing effects on acetylcholine receptors and the modulation of neurotrophic factors within the central nervous system.
Research Specifications:
- Chemical Formula: C₁₇H₂₂N₂O₄
- Molecular Weight: 292.33 g/mol
- Purity: > 99%+ USP Pharmaceutical Grade

Primary Research Applications:
- Expression of BDNF and NGF: Researchers use Noopept to investigate the up-regulation of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which are critical proteins for hippocampal plasticity.
- Glutamate Toxicity Mitigation: Studies often employ Noopept to observe its potential neuroprotective role against oxidative stress and glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in neuronal cultures.
- HIF-1 Induction: Noopept is a subject of interest in research regarding the Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) pathway, studying how cells adapt to low-oxygen environments.
Research Notice: This compound is a highly concentrated reagent provided strictly for laboratory research and development. It is not for human or animal consumption.
