gt0198

Asoxime dimethanesulfonate is an oxime reactivator used for counteracting intoxication by nerve agents. It is able to reactivate acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibited by cytotoxic nerve agents such as sarin or soman.

GT-0198 is a novel glycine transporter 2 inhibitor showed activity in a mouse model of neuropathic pain. GT-0198 inhibited the function of glycine transporter 2 (GlyT2) in human GlyT2-expressing HEK293 cells and did not bind various major transporters or receptors of neurotransmitters in a competitive manner. GT-0198 is considered to be a comparatively selective GlyT2 inhibitor. GT-0198 is a structurally novel GlyT2 inhibitor bearing a phenoxymethylbenzamide moiety with in vivo efficacy in behavioral models of neuropathic pain.
