Oxiracetam – Powder, 50g

Oxiracetam – Powder, 50g

This premium, laboratory-grade research compound delivers ultra-pure raw Oxiracetam powder at ≥98% purity, representing the highest standard for modern scientific investigations into AMPA receptor agonism and cognitive enhancement mechanisms in neuronal signaling. The lyophilized crystalline powder form provides investigators with a single-compound reference standard ideal for analytical testing, in vitro cell culture modeling of glutamatergic and cholinergic pathways, and in vivo preclinical research applications where precise Oxiracetam administration is critical for studying memory enhancement, focus improvement, cognitive decline prevention, and neuroprotective effects.

Oxiracetam is a pyrrolidone-derived nootropic compound belonging to the racetam family, structurally related to piracetam, featuring an additional hydroxyl (-OH) group that enhances hydrophilicity and bioavailability in aqueous environments. This chemical modification distinguishes it from piracetam and contributes to its enhanced water solubility and neuronal uptake.

Technical Specifications & Chemical Profile

Research Applications & Storage Protocols

AMPA Receptor Agonism & Cognitive Enhancement Profiling

Oxiracetam functions as a positive AMPA modulator similar in mechanism and potency (but not binding site) to both piracetam and Aniracetam, demonstrating AMPA receptor agonist activity. The compound is an AMPA receptor agonist, confirming its primary mechanism of action as a glutamatergic pathway activator. It is structurally related to piracetam, featuring an additional hydroxyl (-OH) group that enhances hydrophilicity and bioavailability in aqueous environments, distinguishing it from parent piracetam. Oxiracetam interacts with cholinergic and glutamatergic pathways, influencing AMPA and NMDA receptor activity, demonstrating dual neurotransmitter system modulation. The compound has an additional benefit of increasing glutamate, acetylcholine, and D-Aspartic Acid release from activated but not resting neurons, demonstrating selective neurotransmitter release enhancement that may contribute to cognitive benefits. This unique mechanism positions Oxiracetam as a critical tool compound for investigating improved memory and cognitive function research, enhanced focus and concentration studies, increased mental clarity pathways, support for learning and retention models, cognitive decline due to aging treatment, neuroprotective effects, and glutamatergic/cholinergic neurotransmission in preclinical models, offering potential therapeutic insights for cognitive enhancement with selective neurotransmitter release properties. Oxiracetam is particularly popular for addressing cognitive decline due to aging, demonstrating specific therapeutic relevance for age-related cognitive impairment. Oxiracetam undergoes hepatic metabolism primarily through hydroxylation and conjugation, with excretion occurring predominantly via renal clearance, confirming predictable pharmacokinetic profile. Oxiracetam bulk powder has been shown to have an 8-hour half-life, indicating moderate duration of action suitable for twice-daily dosing regimens.
