Nefiracetam is cognitive enhancer with an IC50 of approximately 150–200 μM for Ro 5-4864. It displays various pharmacological effects. It activates L/N-type calcium channels, cholinergic, monoaminergic and GABAergic systems. It displays potent neuroprotective action in the retinal ischemia-reperfusion model in vivo.

| Preparation method | Transferring the injected oocytes to the recording chamber 24 to 48 hours after incubation and continuously superfused at room temperature (20 to 22 °C) in a standard frog Ringer's solution (115 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 1.8 mM CaCl2, and 5 mM HEPES, pH 7.0). Ca2+ -free extracellular solution consisted of 115 mM NaCl, 2 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 5 mM HEPES, and 1 mM EGTA, pH 7.0. To remove the effect of the muscarinic ACh receptor, adding 1 μM atropine the extracellular solution. Using two-electrode, voltage-clamp techniques to record ACh-activated currents. Analyzing the currents on a microcomputer using pClamp software. ACh is bath-applied to oocytes. Nefiracetam is dissolved in distilled water at 1 mM for stock solution and diluted into concentrations which are required with the extracellular solution. |
