I'd like to suggest omberacetam (noopept) be migrated to the racetam class (in spite of it being a peptide).
'''Omberacetam''' is the nonproprietary name proposed for '''Noopept''' (see p.68, www.who.int/medicines/publications/druginformation/innlists/PL117.pdf?ua=1).
I think this would be appropriate due to the similarities in molecular structure and mechanism of action which its new non-proprietary name reflects.
Strictly speaking it does not belong to the racetam class of compounds (as it is a peptide). However, given its similarity it is often compared and categorized adjacent to other racetams.
 
On a purely pragmatic basis, I suggest we consider migrating [[Noopept]] to the racetam section. The INN may supplant the brand name in future but it's more important we set a standard in terms of naming conventions.

Omberacetam is the nonproprietary name proposed for Noopept (see p.68, www.who.int/medicines/publications/druginformation/innlists/PL117.pdf?ua=1). Strictly speaking it does not belong to the racetam class of compounds (as it is a peptide). However, given its similarity it is often compared and categorized adjacent to other racetams.

On a purely pragmatic basis, I suggest we consider migrating Noopept to the racetam section. The INN may supplant the brand name in future but it's more important we set a standard in terms of naming conventions.

Update: PubChem now refers to Noopept as Omberacetam [ https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Noopept ] Please see above regarding INN and re-categorizing Noopept into the racetam family on a pragmatic basis. -- (unsigned) Mydriasis, 14 January - 13 October 2018‎

We still haven't get the drug class changed yet. While omberacetam is not technically a 2-pyrrolidone because the C=O bond just ain't there, it's developed to be an analogue for one, so I think it deserves a double class designation like "peptide; racetam analogue". --Artoria2e5 (talk) 08:46, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Omberacetam is not illegal to produce/supply/import in the United Kingdom. Legality is of that similar to other countries, where it cannot be sold for human use.
