What is the current status of Noopept?

Regulatory: UnscheduledWADA: WADA status unclearVerified: Verified Sep 22, 2026
FDA and compounding
Noopept has never been nominated to or reviewed for the FDA 503A or 503B bulks lists and does not appear on the FDA Category 2 page (current as of April 22, 2026). It is not a component of any FDA approved drug. In the United States it is sold as a dietary supplement ingredient, but it is a synthetic drug substance approved in Russia and does not meet the definition of a dietary ingredient, so its sale as a supplement is not an approved use. It is not compoundable under 503A or 503B.
WADA
WADA status unclear
Access path
  1. Prescription product in Russia and some other former Soviet countries.
  2. Not an FDA approved drug and not compoundable in the United States.
