N-(substituted-aminoalkyl)-2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetamides which are useful as pharmacological agents, especially cognition activators, are disclosed. They can be produced by reacting a 2-oxo-1-pyrrolidineacetate ester with an appropriate amine.

A series of N-[(dialkylamino)alkyl]-2-oxo-1- pyrrolidineacetamides was synthesized. The title compounds reversed electroconvulsive shock (ECS) induced amnesia in mice when administered subsequent to the ECS treatment and were inactive in a general observational test for central nervous system (CNS) activity. Active compounds exhibited an inverted U-shaped dose-response curve. Among the compounds with
