Coluracetam is believed to have nootropic properties, but lacks pronounced cognitive enhancing effects.
Coluracetam enhances high affinity choline uptake (HACU). This is the process by which cholinergic neurons take up choline, which is acetylated in the cytoplasm to acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter associated with memory; acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are Alzheimer’s drugs.
Coluracetam increases cholinergic transmission indirectly by increasing choline uptake and acetylcholine synthesis. Another nootropic agent that affects this signaling pathway is Nicotine.
