Abstract:Piracetam is a nootropic drug that has been used in clinical trials for decades, but is still a mystery due
to a lack of understanding of its mechanism of action. In this research, sixteen novel piracetam derivatives
were synthesized in three steps and characterized by IR, NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques.
Based on the docking studies, two derivatives were identified as more active based on the drug receptor
interactions studies and were further subjected to animal studies for the evaluation of the activi… Show more
