Piracetam is a cyclic derivative of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA), originally marketed in 1971 by UCB Pharma. It was the first “nootropic” drug, an agent that acts on cognitive function without causing sedation or stimulation. While the mechanisms of action of piracetam have yet to be fully elucidated, it influences neuronal and vascular functions.
