| Application | Coluracetam (MKC-231) is a synthetic racetam drug purported to be a nootropic compound. It does not have a large body of evidence investigating it, but the mechanisms of action (as well as structute) appear to be very distinct from other racetam compounds like Piracetam or Aniracetam. |

Coluracetam powder General Description
Coluracetam powder, with CAS 135463-81-9, is also known as BCI-540 and MKC-231. Coluracetam was invented in Japan and only first registered in 2005 by the Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharmaceutical Corporation, and then its patent has been transfer to BrainCells Inc.
Coluracetam powder is a brain supplement for cognitive enhancer, memory improvement as well as also treats Major Depressive Disorder(MDD) and also anxiety problems.
Coluracetam powder (135463-81-9) History
Coluracetam (INN) (code name BCI-540; formerly MKC-231) powder is a nootropic agent of the racetam family. It was initially developed and tested by the Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma Corporation for Alzheimer’s disease. After the drug failed to reach endpoints in its clinical trials it was in-licensed by BrainCells Inc for investigations into major depressive disorder (MDD), which was preceded by being awarded a “Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Program Grant” by the state of California.
Findings from phase IIa clinical trials have suggested that it would be a potential medication for comorbid MDD with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). BrainCells Inc is currently[when?] out-licensing the drug for this purpose.[full citation needed] It may also have potential use in prevention and treatment of ischemic retinopathy and retinal and optic nerve injury.[medical citation needed]
Coluracetam has been shown to reverse the loss of choline acetyltransferase production in the medial septal nucleus of rats exposed to phencyclidine (PCP), and is considered a potential therapeutic drug for schizophrenia.
Coluracetam (135463-81-9) Mechanism Of Action
Coluracetam enhances high-affinity choline uptake (HACU), which is the rate-limiting step of acetylcholine (ACh) synthesis. Studies have shown coluracetam to improve learning impairment on a single oral dose given to rats which have been exposed to cholinergic neurotoxins. Subsequent studies have shown that it may induce long-lasting procognitive effects in cholinergic neurotoxin-treated rats by changing the choline transporter regulation system.
Benefits of Coluracetam (135463-81-9)
Coluracetam is a nootropic compound in the racetam family, with a unique enhancing effect on high affinity choline uptake.
Coluracetam can improve memory, learning, anxiety, depression, and eyesight. It has potential use in prevention and treatment of ischemic retinopathy and retinal and optic nerve injury. It also can improve learning impairment on a single oral dose given to rats which have been exposed to cholinergic neurotoxins.
It may induce long-lasting procognitive effects in cholinergic neurotoxin-treated rats 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.
Coluracetam (135463-81-9) side effect
Additionally, standard racetam side effects also apply to users of Coluracetam. Some people struggle with a headache due to a lack of acetylcholine (remedied by alpha GPC or citicoline). Other people have Colurracetam side effects such as overstimulation or jitteriness, nausea, or irritability.
