Abstract The term ‘nootropics’ (from Greek, noos—mind, tropos—turn) was originally coined to denote chemical compounds that were reported to enhance cognitive function, including learning and memory, without possessing other significant effects (Giurgea 1973). The best known are piracetam and structurally related compounds (Giurgea 1973;

Piracetam and other structurally related nootropics
Brain Research Reviews, 1994Nearly three decades have now passed since the discovery of the piracetam-like nootropics, compounds which exhibit cognition-enhancing properties, but for which no commonly accepted mechanism of action has been established. This review covers clinical, pharmacokinetic, biochemical and behavioural results presented in the literature from 1965 through ...

Nootropic effects of ACE inhibitors in mice
Psychopharmacology, 1990The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors captopril and enalapril and the nootropic piracetam reduced the amnesiogenic effects of cerebral electroshock treatment in mice. These compounds also directly improved passive-avoidance learning if administered before the learning trial.

Towards Better Brain Management: Nootropics
Current Medicinal Chemistry, 2007The learning and memory deficits have been recognized as severe and consistent neurological disorders associated with numerous neurodegenerative states. Research in this area has gained momentum only in the recent past after the biochemical and physiological basis of these processes have been understood.

Nootropic drugs and brain cholinergic mechanisms
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, 19891. This review has two aims: first, to marshal and discuss evidences demonstrating an interaction between nootropic drugs and brain cholinergic mechanisms; second, to define the relationship between the effects on cholinergic mechanisms and the cognitive process. 2.

Nootropic activity of Albizzia lebbeck in mice
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2002The effect of saponin containing n-butanolic fraction (BF) extracted from dried leaves of Albizzia lebbeck on learning and memory was studied in albino mice using passive shock avoidance paradigm and the elevated plus maze. Significant improvement was observed in the retention ability of the normal and amnesic mice as compared to their respective ...
