CNS stimulants can be classified as Psychomotor stimulants compounds that display a stimulatory effect primarily on brain functions and which activate mental and physical activity of the organism. They are made up of methylxanthines (caffeine, theophylline, pentoxifyllin), amphetamines (dextroamphetamine, methamphetamine), and also methylphenidate and pemoline. Respiratory stimulants or analeptics compounds, which cause certain activations of mental and physical activity of the organism, and primarily excite the vasomotor and respiratory centers of the medulla (doxapram, almitrine).Drwgi that suppress appetite or anorectics drags that activate mental and physical activity of the organism, but primarily accentuate the excitatory center of satiation in the hypothalamus (phentermine, diethylpropion).In order to increase mental capability, nootropics — drugs that increase the functional state of the brain — are sometimes used, the effect of which is associated with blood flow and metabolism of the brain. [Pg.117]

Piracetam is a so-called nootropic drug, one of a class of drugs that affect mental function (1). In healthy volunteers it improves the higher functions of the brain involved in cognitive processes, such as learning and memory. Its mechanisms of action are not known but may include increased cholinergic neurotransmission. [Pg.641]

Compounds that positively modulate the AMPA receptor have been reviewed [146, 147]. The first reports of AMPA receptor modulators, appearing over 20 years ago, were plant lectins (e.g., concanavalin A) that inhibited rapid non-NMDA receptor desensitization [148]. Shortly after, the nootropic drug 12 (aniracetam) (Fig. 3), which was reported to effect learning and memory, was found to selectively... [Pg.104]

Dihydroxypyrrolidinones, which can be considered as cyclic GABA derivatives, are potential nootropic drug candidates. All four possible diastereomers 794—797, as shown in Scheme 174, can be prepared from tartaric acid. Treating L-tartaric acid sequentially with acetyl chloride, methyl glycinate, and then acetyl chloride provides in 81% overall yield the C2-symmetric succinimide 790. In order not to reduce the methyl ester, the very mild treatment with sodium borohydride at —40 °C is employed to prepare the cw-hydroxylactam 791 in an 80% isolated yield. Esterification of 791 with trifiuoroacetic anhydride followed by triethylsilane reduction yields to the extent of 79% the pyrrolidinone 792. This is deprotected with sodium methoxide to provide in 97% yield (3i ,45)-3,4-dihydroxy-A -methoxy-carbonylmethyl-2-pyrrolidinone (793). Ammonolysis of 793 affords (3i ,4 S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-oxopyrrolidine-A -acetamide (794) in 60% yield. Subsequent modifications to 793 allow for the preparation of (35, 4S)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-oxopyrrolidine-A/-acetamide (795), (3R,4R)-3,4-dihydroxy-2-oxopyrrolidine-A -acetamide (796) and (35, 47 )-3,4-dihydroxy-2-oxopyrrolidine-7V-acetamide (797) [234]. [Pg.442]

Five-membered ring lactams also named y-lactams or 2-oxopyrrolidines are present in biologically active naturally occurring products and also found in approved drugs. Compoxmds of the same class derived from N-substituted-y-lactams are known as nootropic drugs such as piracetam 36 or related compoxmds, oxiracetan 37, or pramiracetam 38 (Figure 10). [Pg.393]
