Hodoodo CAT#: H328083

CAS#: 135463-81-9

Description: 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.
