Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Coluracetam, also known as BCI-540; MKC-231, is a AMPA receptor agonist potentially for the treatment of major depression and anxiety. MKC-231 antagonizes phencyclidine-induced behavioral deficits and reduction in septal cholinergic neurons in rats. MKC-231 ameliorates working memory deficits and decreased hippocampal acetylcholine induced by ethylcholine aziridinium ion in mice.
