Usage

Description

N-anisoyl-GABA, also known as 4-[(4-Methoxyphenyl)formamido]butanoic Acid, is a derivative of Aniracetam (A672800), which is a cognition enhancer related to Piracetam. It belongs to the class of nootropics, compounds that have the potential to enhance cognitive function, particularly memory, creativity, and motivation.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
N-anisoyl-GABA is used as a cognition enhancer for its potential to improve cognitive function, including memory, creativity, and motivation. It is related to Aniracetam, a well-known nootropic compound, and may offer similar benefits in enhancing cognitive performance.
Used in Research Applications:
N-anisoyl-GABA is used as a research compound for studying the effects of nootropics on cognitive function and neural mechanisms. Its structure and relationship to Aniracetam make it a valuable tool for understanding the underlying mechanisms of cognitive enhancement and potential therapeutic applications.
Used in Nutraceutical Industry:
N-anisoyl-GABA may be used as an ingredient in dietary supplements and nutraceutical products designed to support cognitive health and enhance cognitive performance. Its nootropic properties could make it a popular choice for consumers seeking natural ways to improve their mental capabilities.

Hazard

A poison by ingestion.

Safety Profile

A poison by ingestion. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of NOx.
