More Info
Biological target:
Rapastinel is active in vivo when administered intravenously and passes through the blood-brain barrier. In animals, Rapastinel blocks neuropathic pain, enhances learning and memory, and significantly reduces anxiety. Rapastinel induces rapid antidepressant-like effects in animal models and rescued normal behavior in a rat model of autism.
In vitro activity:
Extracellular binding of rapastinel to the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) produces a long-range reduction in affinity of the Ca2+ inactivation site on the NMDAR C-terminus accessible to the intracellular space. This study shows that this action underlies the enhancement in NMDAR-gated conductance elicited by rapastinel. Reference: Neuroreport. 2022 May 4;33(7):312-319. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35594441/
In vivo activity:
This study suggests that the accelerated loss of withdrawal signs and blunted relapse to morphine conditioned place preference in rapastinel treated rats could provide an adjunctive therapy for opioid dependence with rapastinel. Reference: Pharmacol Biochem Behav. 2022 Nov;221:173485. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36302442/
