Aniracetam, a chemical cousin of
piracetam, is also known as Draganon, Ro
13-5057, and Sarpul. It is considered even more
powerful, and is used to treat more conditions.
Aniracetam has much the same effect as
piracetam without problems of toxicity or side
effects. Its use as a smart drug is less common.
The U.S. patent holder, Hoffman-LaRoche, has
had problems gaining FDA approval for treating
Alzheimer's disease. So far the drug has not
been officially approved in any country. Though it
has great potential, aniracetam is primarily used
in research, and is not yet widely available as a
smart drug.
