What is the IUPAC name, molecular formula, and structural diagram of Neurocept's active ingredient(s)?
Executive summary
Available reporting shows two different products called “Neurocept.” One is a prescription combination pill sold as Neurocept‑PG that contains methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12) and pregabalin; 1mg and MediBuddy list those actives for Neurocept‑PG [1] [2]. A separate set of commercial dietary‑supplement products named “Neurocept” or similar are marketed as botanical nootropic blends (Bacopa, Ginkgo, phosphatidylserine, DHA, etc.) on multiple official sites and press releases [3] [4] [5] [6]. The supplied sources do not give full IUPAC names, precise molecular formulas, or structural diagrams for the supplement blend (not found in current reporting); for pregabalin and methylcobalamin, the sources name the compounds but do not provide IUPAC, formula, or structures within these links [1] [7].
1. Prescription product vs. supplement: two different “Neurocept” brands
Reporting splits into two distinct uses of the name Neurocept: Neurocept‑PG (a prescription capsule for neuropathic pain containing methylcobalamin + pregabalin) appears on Indian pharmacy sites such as 1mg and MediBuddy [1] [2] [7]. Separately, multiple commercial nootropic/supplement sites and press releases present “Neurocept” as a natural brain‑support formula with botanicals and nutrients (Bacopa, Ginkgo, phosphatidylserine, DHA, Rhodiola, etc.) [3] [4] [5] [6]. Those are not the same product and carry different regulatory and informational expectations: the prescription product is an indicated drug mixture, the others are dietary supplements marketed with ingredient lists and promotional claims [1] [3].
2. What the drug listings explicitly state: active ingredients named, not chemically described
Pharmacy listings for Neurocept‑PG explicitly list methylcobalamin and pregabalin as the active medicines and describe their therapeutic intent—methylcobalamin as a B‑vitamin form involved in myelin and nerve repair and pregabalin as an α2δ ligand modulating calcium channels to reduce neuropathic pain—but these pages do not provide IUPAC names, molecular formulas, or structural diagrams in the cited snippets [1] [7]. Therefore the sources confirm identity but do not include the detailed chemical nomenclature or structures for those two actives [1] [7].
3. What the supplement sites list: ingredient families, not single chemical actives or structures
Official Neurocept supplement sites and related press coverage list ingredients like Bacopa monnieri, Ginkgo biloba, phosphatidylserine, omega‑3 DHA, Rhodiola, and vitamins and frame the product as a blend of adaptogens, antioxidants and nutrients; these materials are promotional and describe ingredient classes rather than specific single‑molecule IUPAC names, formulas, or structure diagrams [3] [4] [5] [6]. The press releases and reviews repeat ingredient names and claims but do not provide chemical nomenclature or structural diagrams in the provided excerpts [6] [8].
4. What the supplied sources do — and do not — answer about chemical details
The sources reliably identify the active ingredients of Neurocept‑PG as methylcobalamin and pregabalin [1] [7]. They also list many botanical and nutrient ingredients for the various Neurocept supplements [3] [4] [5]. However, the provided reporting does not present full IUPAC names, molecular formulas, or chemical structural diagrams for methylcobalamin, pregabalin, or the numerous supplement components — so those specific chemical data points are not in the current reporting (available sources do not mention full IUPAC names, molecular formulas, or structural diagrams for these actives).
5. How you can get the missing chemical specifics (actionable next steps)
To obtain authoritative IUPAC names, molecular formulas, and structural diagrams you should consult primary chemical databases or reference monographs (PubChem, DrugBank, or official pharmacopeias). For example, the PubChem entries (not included for methylcobalamin/pregabalin in these sources) typically list IUPAC names, formulae and downloadable structure images; the supplied search results include PubChem pages for unrelated compounds (acetaminophen, aspirin) but do not include PubChem pages for pregabalin or methylcobalamin within the provided results [9] [10]. If you want, I can next pull the precise PubChem/DrugBank records for pregabalin and methylcobalamin — but I must use sources you provide or explicitly allow; the current source set does not contain those chemical details for citation.
6. Context and caveats for readers: naming ambiguity and marketing motives
Be wary of name ambiguity: “Neurocept” as a label applies to at least one prescription combination drug (Neurocept‑PG) and to multiple dietary‑supplement products with overlapping but different ingredient lists [1] [3] [4]. Supplement marketing materials and press releases emphasize natural ingredients and cognitive claims but are promotional in tone and do not substitute for regulated drug labelling or peer‑reviewed chemical data [6] [3]. Always check the specific product packaging or an authoritative chemical database for precise IUPAC, formula, and structural depictions when you need exact chemical identification; those specifics are not present in the supplied reporting (available sources do not mention those chemical specifics).
