Description
Coluracetam (MKC-231) is an orally taken choline uptake enhancer. Coluracetam can improve the reduced acetylcholine levels in the hippocampus of rats and mice, enhancing learning difficulties, memory deficits, and cognitive impairments. Coluracetam induces a lower degree of hepatic venous hyperglycemia[1][2][3].
