Nizofenone (Ekonal, Midafenone) is a psychostimulant/nootropic. It has been shown to have neuroprotective effects and protects neurons from death following cerebral anoxia (interruption of oxygen supply to the brain). It might thus be useful in the treatment of acute neurological conditions such as stroke.
