Noopept (Russian: Ноопепт; GVS-111, N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine ethyl ester) is a medication promoted and prescribed in Russia and neighbouring countries as a nootropic remedy. It is derived from the racetam family of drugs and shares similar mechanisms of action, but is up to 1000 times more potent than the prototypical racetam drug, piracetam. Animal studies have shown noopept to be neuroprotective and enhance memory in various different tests. Unusually for a peptide-derived compound, noopept displays both high oral bioavailability and good blood-brain barrier penetration, and human studies have shown promising results, with potential application in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
