CX1739 is an ampakine drug developed by Cortex Pharmaceuticals. It has similar pharmacological effects and favorable safety profile to older "Type II" ampakines such as CX516 and CX717, but with higher potency and improved bioavailability, unlike "Type I" ampakines such as CX614 which have been found to produce neurotoxicity at high doses. As with related ampakine compounds CX1739 has nootropic effects, and was originally investigated for applications such as treatment of ADHD and dementia, but in the course of testing it was found to be effective as a respiratory stimulant and for facilitating nerve repair, so recent research has focused on potential use for conditions such as sleep apnoea and recovery from spinal cord injury.
