Also known as: Carphedon, Phenotropil
Phenylpiracetam is a phenyl-group-modified racetam derivative developed in Russia, historically noted for use by cosmonauts in the Soviet space program, and grouped among the first-class racetams (piracetam, aniracetam, oxiracetam) in the pharmacology review literature. It is reported to be substantially more potent than piracetam and to carry a stimulant-like component distinguishing it from other racetams, though independent Western clinical trial data remains more limited than for piracetam itself.
