Fasoracetam is a research chemical of the racetam family.[3] It is a nootropic, and has been in clinical trials for vascular dementia and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.[2][4]

Fasoracetam appears to agonize all three metabotropic glutamate receptors and has improved cognitive function in rodent studies.[5] It is orally available and is excreted mostly unchanged via the urine.[6]

Fasoracetam was discovered by scientists at the Japanese pharmaceutical company Nippon Shinyaku, which brought it through Phase 3 clinical trials for vascular dementia, and abandoned it due to lack of efficacy.[5][7]

Scientists at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia led by Hakon Hakonarson identified fasoracetam's potential use in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder[5] and Hakonarson started a company called neuroFix Therapeutics, LLC to try to bring the drug to market for this use; neuroFix acquired Nippon Shinyaku's clinical data as part of its efforts.[7][8] neuroFix was acquired by Medgenics in 2015.[8] Medgenics changed its name to Aevi Genomic Medicine in 2016.[9] Clinical trials in adolescents with ADHD who also have mGluR mutations started in 2016.[8]
