Phenylpiracetam (PT)

Phenylpiracetam is a phenylated derivative of the nootropic drug piracetam. Phenylpiracetam reverses the depressant effects of the benzodiazapine diazepam, increases operant behavior, inhibits post-rotational nystagmus, prevents retrograde amnesia and has anticonvulsant properties. Phenylpiracetam is typically prescribed as a general stimulant or to increase tolerance to extreme temperatures and stress. In rats, it has been found to decrease the number of nACh and NMDA receptors and increase the density of D1, D2 and D3 receptors.Phenylpiracetam has recently gained niche popularity from online nootropics suppliers in the US and other countries outside of Russia. Given its lack of abuse potential, Phenylpiracetam is not scheduled by the DEA, and is legal for personal use.
