Nebracetam is an investigational nootropic drug belonging to the racetam family, known for its potential as an M1 acetylcholine receptor agonist. Initially studied in rats, it has shown promise in enhancing cognitive function, similar to other racetams like piracetam and aniracetam.
Research conducted in 1991 suggested its effectiveness as a human M1-muscarinic receptor agonist, indicating its potential in improving memory and learning. Despite its promising profile, nebracetam has not yet undergone human clinical trials as of 2025.
