CS-003 free base (CS-003) is a triple tachykinin receptor antagonist with high affinity for human (neurokinin) NK1, NK2 and NK3 receptors, with Ki values of 2.3 nM and 0.54 nM, respectively And 0.74 nM. CS-003 free base (CS-003) has therapeutic effects on
Rolapitant, also known as SCH-619734, is an orally bioavailable, centrally-acting, selective, neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor) antagonist with potential antiemetic activity. Upon oral administration, rolapitant competitively binds to and blocks the activity of the NK1-receptor in the central nervous system, thereby inhibiting the binding of the endogenous ligand, substance P (SP). This may prevent both SP-induced emesis and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). The interaction of SP with the NK1-receptor plays a key role in the induction of nausea and vomiting caused by emetogenic cancer chemotherapy.
Vestipitant, also known as GW597599, is one of the most potent and selective NK(1) receptor antagonists ever discovered, showing appropriate pharmacokinetic properties and in vivo activity. Its actions support the utility of NK(1) receptor blockade in the alleviation of anxiety and, possibly, depression. It is under development as a potential antiemetic and anxiolytic drug, and as a treatment for tinnitusand insomnia.
Hemokinin 1 (mouse) is a selective excitogen 1 receptor agonist with Ki values of 0.175 nM for the humanNK1 receptor and 560 nM for the humanNK2 receptor.
