Product Overview
Oxiracetam (4-hydroxy-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamide) is a hydroxylated derivative of Piracetam also known as ISF-2522 It is recognized in laboratory settings for being significantly more potent than the original molecule and for its unique influence on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels and cerebral metabolism.
In analytical studies, Oxiracetam is utilized to investigate the modulation of excitatory neurotransmission and the enhancement of energy utilization within neuronal tissues.
Research Specifications:
- Chemical Formula: C₆H₁₀N₂O₃
- Molecular Weight: 158.16 g/mol
- Purity: > 99%+ USP Pharmaceutical Grade
- Form: White Crystalline Powder
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water; poorly soluble in lipids.
Primary Research Applications:
- Glutamatergic Signaling: Researchers use Oxiracetam to study its role as a positive allosteric modulator of AMPA receptors, focusing on how it facilitates synaptic transmission without direct receptor agonism.
- Cerebral Metabolism: It is a key subject in research regarding the stimulation of phospholipid metabolism and the increase of high-energy phosphate levels (ATP) in the brain.
- Acetylcholine Release: Studies often utilize Oxiracetam to observe its effects on the spontaneous release of Acetylcholine in the hippocampal region, particularly in models of chemically induced cognitive deficit.
Research Notice: This chemical reagent is provided in pure powder form strictly for laboratory research, analysis, and developmental use. It is not for human or animal consumption.
