Sunifiram (DM-235) is a piperazine derived research chemical which has anti-amnesiac effects in animal studies with significantly higher potency than piracetam.^[1] Sunifiram is closely related to, and derived from, unifiram.^[2] The anti-amnesiac effect of sunifiram and unifiram has been shown to involve AMPA-receptor activation.^[3]

As of 2017 it had not been subjected to toxicology testing, nor to any human clinical trials, and is not approved for use anywhere in the world.^[1]
