Description

Nebracetam CAS NO 116041-13-5 is a synthetic nootropic compound belonging to the racetam family, known for its potential cognitive-enhancing properties. This high-purity intermediate is critical for pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the study of neurological pathways and memory function. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and advanced chemical synthesis facilities focused on developing novel neuroprotective and cognitive therapeutics.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of advanced nootropic drugs and investigational new drugs (INDs) targeting cognitive disorders.
• Neurological Research: Used in preclinical and clinical research to study mechanisms of memory enhancement, neuroprotection, and synaptic plasticity.
• Reference Standard: Employed as a high-purity analytical standard in quality control laboratories for method development and compound identification.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for the development of novel racetam derivatives and structurally related cognitive enhancers.
• Biochemical Assays: Utilized in in vitro studies to assess biological activity and receptor binding affinity in neurological models.

Quality Control

Our Nebracetam is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and stringent controls for residual solvents and impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
