Chemistry:Icalcaprant
From HandWiki
Icalcaprant[1] (developmental code name CVL-354) is a κ-opioid receptor (KOR) antagonist which is under development for the treatment of major depressive disorder and substance-related disorders.[2][3] It is taken by mouth.[2]
It acts as a selective antagonist of the KOR.[2][3] The drug is also more weakly an antagonist of the μ-opioid receptor (MOR), with about 31-fold lower affinity and 27-fold lower inhibitory potency at the MOR relative to the KOR.[3]
It was originated by Pfizer and is under development by Cerevel Therapeutics (a subsidiary of AbbVie).[2][4] As of September 2022, icalcaprant is in phase 1 clinical trials for major depressive disorder and is in the preclincal stage of development for substance-related disorders.[2]
