Description Research Excerpts Clinical Trials Roles Classes Pathways Study Profile Bioassays Related Drugs Related Conditions Protein Interactions Research Growth

Meclofenoxate hydrochloride, also known as centrophenoxine, is a cholinergic drug that has been studied for its potential cognitive enhancing effects. It is a synthetic derivative of dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) and is thought to increase acetylcholine levels in the brain by inhibiting its breakdown. Research suggests that meclofenoxate may improve memory, attention, and learning in healthy individuals, as well as in patients with Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive impairments. However, more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety. The synthesis of meclofenoxate involves a multi-step process that starts with the reaction of DMAE with phenoxyacetic acid. The resulting compound is then converted to the hydrochloride salt. Meclofenoxate has been studied for its potential to improve cognitive function in a variety of settings, including healthy aging, Alzheimer's disease, and other neurodegenerative disorders. However, its use is controversial due to a lack of robust evidence for its efficacy and potential side effects. '
