Bioactivity | Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate (GLYX-13 Trifluoroacetate) is an NMDA receptor modulator with glycine-site partial agonist properties. Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate has the potential for major depressive disorder treatment. |
Target | NMDA receptor |
In Vivo | Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate is an NMDA receptor modulator with glycine-site partial agonist properties and currently in a phase II clinical development program as an adjunctive therapy for major depressive disorder. Mice given Rapastinel Trifluoroacetate (1.0 mg/kg) prior to acute ketamine (30 mg/kg) show clear preference for novel compare to familiar objects (P0.05][2]. |
