In 1964 , Piracetam (CAS NO.7491-74-9) was first synthesized by scientists at the Belgian pharmaceutical company UCB led by Dr Corneliu E. Giurgea. The drug was the first of the so-called nootropics ("smart drugs" or "cognitive enhancers"); that is, substances can increase brain activity, mental performance, and vigilance. The term nootropic was coined by Giurgea. Nootropil was launched clinically by UCB in the early 1970s and remains an important product of that company in Europe.
Piracetam (CAS NO.7491-74-9) is a drug which may enhance cognition and memory, may slow brain aging, may increase oxygen and blood flow to the brain,may improve Alzheimer's, may aid stroke recovery, Down's syndrome, dementia, and dyslexia, among other diseases and conditions. Piracetam may be classified as a psychoactive stimulant.
