What Is Oxiracetam?
Oxiracetam is a racetam nootropic known for its stimulating cognitive enhancement. It improves memory, focus, and logical thinking while providing mild stimulation. Often considered the 'speedy' racetam.
Oxiracetam Research & Studies
01 Co-administration of Nanowired Oxiracetam and Neprilysin with Monoclonal Antibodies to Amyloid Beta Peptide and p-Tau Thwarted Exacerbation of Brain Pathology in Concussive Head Injury at Hot Environment ▸
Heat exposure worsens concussion-related brain injury. Combining oxiracetam with specific antibodies and enzymes significantly enhanced neuroprotection under elevated temperatures.
View Study (PubMed)02 Safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of oral (S)-oxiracetam in Chinese healthy volunteers ▸
The (S)-oxiracetam variant was safe and well-tolerated in healthy Chinese participants, demonstrating favorable absorption and dose-proportional exposure.
View Study (PubMed)03 Oxiracetam in dementia: a double-blind, placebo-controlled study ▸
Over 12 weeks, oxiracetam improved quality of life and specific cognitive domains compared to placebo, though some participants experienced mild adverse events.
View Study (PubMed)04 Oxiracetam in the treatment of primary degenerative and multi-infarct dementia ▸
Among 289 participants with various dementia types, oxiracetam treatment produced measurable improvements on dementia rating scales with minimal adverse effects.
View Study (PubMed)05 Oxiracetam in the treatment of multi-infarct dementia and primary degenerative dementia ▸
Testing on 73 patients demonstrated significant word fluency improvements in both patient groups, though daily functioning declined in primary degenerative dementia cases.
View Study (PubMed)06 Effects of Oxiracetam and Physical Activity in Preventing Post-Stroke Cognitive Decline ▸
Oxiracetam did not meaningfully prevent post-stroke cognitive decline, whereas regular exercise maintained cognitive performance and improved quality-of-life measures.
View Study (ScienceDirect)07 Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Combined with Oxiracetam Influences the Expression of B-cell Lymphoma 2 in Rats with Ischemic Stroke ▸
Combining bone marrow stromal cells with oxiracetam enhanced neurological recovery in stroke-affected rats by increasing protective protein expression and reducing cell death.
