Abstract

The safety of a new nootrope and neuroprotector--calcium N-(5-hydroxynicotinoyl)-L-glutamate (ampasse)--has been evaluated. It is shown that ampasse at a dose of 6.7 mg/kg (10 times the maximum therapeutic dose for humans) did not affect the reproductive function in experimental animals and did not produced any embryotoxic and teratogenic effects.
