Aceglutamide is a psychostimulant and nootropic[1] used to improve memory and concentration.[2] Chemically, it is the acetyl derivative of the amino acid L-glutamine.

The salt aceglutamide aluminum (also known as KW-110 and Glumal) is effective in the treatment of ulcers.[3][4][5][6]

Aceglutamide can also be used as a liquid-stable source of glutamine to prevent damage from protein energy malnutrition.[7][8][9]
