Fipexide is a psychoactive drug of the piperazine chemical class developed in Italy in 1983. Fipexide acts similarly to other nootropics like piracetam and shares structural similarities with centrophenoxine.
Fipexide has been shown to improve cognitive performance by modulating dopaminergic neurotransmission and reducing striatal adenylate cyclase activity. It was also used in research for senile dementia and as a chemical inducer in plant callus formation and shoot regeneration.
