Coluracetam is a nootropic compound in the racetam family, with a unique enhancing effect on high affinity choline uptake.
The mechanisms of action (as well as structute) appear to be very distinct from other racetam compounds like Piracetam or Aniracetam. Coluracetam appears to interact with a process known as high affinity choline uptake (HACU for short), which is the rate-limiting step of drawing choline into a neuron for synthesis into the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Increasing the HACU rate appears to increase the activity of cholinergic neurons, so it is a desired target for cognitive enhancement.
Coluracetam can improve memory, learning, anxiety, depression, and eyesight.
It may induce long-lasting procognitive effects in cholinergic neurotoxin-treated subjects by changing the choline transporter regulation system.
Coluracetam is also shown to improve AMPA potentiation, which is a process that triggers cognitive function and alertness.
