Oxiracetam is substituted with yet another hydroxy group at R4, that is a chiral center with the molecule. Oxiracetam is presumably made as a racemate of its enantiomers. Oxiracetam is structurally analogous to piracetam, which lacks the R4 hydroxy substitution of oxiracetam.His research is characterized by a meticulous approach, combining rigorous
