Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Aniracetam is a nootropic agent and positive allosteric modulator that selectively targets AMPA receptors. By modulating AMPA receptor gating kinetics and enhancing glutamatergic synaptic transmission, it promotes long-term potentiation and synaptic plasticity to support downstream cognitive functions. Furthermore, aniracetam exerts neuroprotective activities and demonstrates marked anxiolytic-like effects across multiple preclinical animal models of anxiety. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
