2-(2-oxo-4-phenylpyrrolidin-1-yl)acetamide
Phenylpiracetam is a derivative of piracetam with stimulating and nootropic properties. It modulates AMPA receptors and influences acetylcholine release, which can lead to improved cognitive performance and increased physical endurance. The substance is used as a medication in some countries; however, long-term effects and safety have not been extensively researched.
