CE-123, or as the active enantiomer (S)-CE-123, is an analog of modafinil, the most researched of a series of structurally related heterocyclic derivatives. [1] [2] [3] In animal studies, CE-123 was found to improve performance on tests of learning and memory in a manner consistent with a nootropic effect profile. [4] [5] [6] [7] (S)-CE-123 has pro-motivational effects in animals, reverses tetrabenazine-induced motivational deficits, and could be useful in the treatment of motivational disorders in humans.
