Noopept is a dipeptide-derived compound structurally related to the racetam family. It features a phenylacetyl group linked to a prolylglycine ethyl ester, resulting in a highly stable, non-hygroscopic solid. In laboratory and chemical research, it is explored for its structure–activity relationships, stability in peptide-like frameworks, and synthetic versatility as a proline-containing derivative.
