Nefiracetam is a non-peptide small molecule in the racetam (pyrrolidinone/2-oxopyrrolidine acetamide) class, investigated as a cognitive enhancer. It was never approved by the FDA, EMA, or Japan's PMDA; Daiichi Seiyaku withdrew its Japanese NDA (Translon) in February 2002 after a repeat Phase III trial in dementia failed to demonstrate efficacy. A US/Canada Phase II trial in poststroke depression (600 mg and 900 mg/day) showed no overall separation from placebo, though a subgroup analysis suggested benefit in the most severely depressed patients at 900 mg. No validated therapeutic dose or approved indication exists; it is sold by research-chemical and laboratory-reagent suppliers for research use only.

How are Nefiracetam prices verified on Disclosed Labs?
Every listed vendor holds a Grade C or better trust score, computed independently from lab Certificates of Analysis — not from payments or sponsorships. Prices are scraped and fact-checked daily. Vendors cannot pay to improve their ranking.
Check formulation: Lyophilized powder requires reconstitution before use. Pre-mixed solutions are more convenient but may have a shorter shelf life and higher prices.
Compare per-mg cost: Different strengths and quantities make direct price comparison difficult. Calculate the per-milligram cost to find the true best value.
Verify COAs: Look for vendors that publish per-batch Certificates of Analysis from named, accredited labs. Use the Full safety panel filter to require endotoxin, sterility, and heavy-metals testing on the current batch — not just HPLC purity.
Human clinical data are limited and largely negative or mixed. Japanese Phase II/III trials in dementia/cognitive sequelae after cerebrovascular disorders showed improvement over placebo in some early trials, but a Ministry of Health-mandated repeat Phase III trial under revised guidelines failed to demonstrate efficacy, and Daiichi Seiyaku withdrew its Japanese NDA (Translon) in February 2002. A US/Canada multicenter randomized double-blind Phase II trial (28 sites, 1999–2001, n=159) tested nefiracetam 600 mg and 900 mg/day vs. placebo for poststroke depression; the drug did not separate from placebo overall (response >70%, remission >40% in both arms) but showed significant benefit in the most-severely-depressed subgroup at 900 mg (Robinson et al., J Neuropsychiatry Clin Neurosci 2008). A related post hoc analysis examined apathy outcomes in the same cohort. Preclinical findings include: rat cortical neurons showed potentiation of native α4β2-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor currents via a G(s)-protein-dependent pathway; rat dorsal root ganglion neurons showed dual concentration-dependent effects on GABA_A receptor-channel currents mediated via cAMP-dependent protein kinase and Gi/Go proteins; rat neuronal preparations showed enhancement of high-voltage-activated N/L-type Ca²⁺ channel currents and modulation of NMDA receptor function via PKC-dependent phosphorylation; rat passive avoidance models showed reversal of apomorphine-induced amnesia and preservation of hippocampal NCAM-mediated memory consolidation during scopolamine disruption.
