Fasoracetam (NS-105, 5-oxo-D-prolinepiperidinamide monohydrate) is a research chemical of the racetam family.^[1]

Effects

Fasoracetam appears to act as a GABA_B receptor antagonist. It has been shown to block memory disruptions caused by Baclofen, a GABA B agonist.^[2] Fasoracetam upregulates GABA B receptors after repeat dosing.^[3]

Fasoracetam may act as a mGluR agonist and research into the efficacy for treating ADHD and cognitive impairment is currently being conducted.^{[4] [5]}

Similar to Coluracetam, Fasoracetam enhances high affinity choline reuptake (HACU). ^[2]
