Atypical dopamine reuptake inhibitor with additional phenethylamine-like stimulatory properties. Increases the density of acetylcholine, NMDA, GABA, and dopamine receptors in the brain. The phenyl group addition to the piracetam backbone enables blood-brain barrier penetration at 20-60x greater potency than piracetam, with added psychostimulant and cold-tolerance properties.
