Chemistry:NMDA receptor antagonist
NMDA receptor antagonists are a class of drugs that work to antagonize, or inhibit the action of, the N-Methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR). They are commonly used as anesthetics for human and non-human animals; the state of anesthesia they induce is referred to as dissociative anesthesia.
Several synthetic opioids function additionally as NMDAR-antagonists, such as pethidine, levorphanol, methadone, dextropropoxyphene, tramadol, and ketobemidone.
Some NMDA receptor antagonists, such as ketamine, dextromethorphan (DXM), phencyclidine (PCP), methoxetamine (MXE), and nitrous oxide (N2O), are sometimes used as recreational drugs, for their dissociative, hallucinogenic, and euphoriant properties. When used recreationally, they are classified as dissociative drugs.
Uses and effects
NMDA receptor antagonists induce a state called dissociative anesthesia, marked by catalepsy, amnesia, and analgesia.[1] Ketamine is a favored anesthetic for emergency patients with unknown medical history and in the treatment of burn victims because it depresses breathing and circulation less than other anesthetics.[2][3] Dextrorphan, a metabolite of dextromethorphan (one of the most commonly used cough suppressants in the world[4]), is known to be an NMDA receptor antagonist.
Numerous detrimental symptoms are linked to depressed NMDA receptor function. For example, NMDA receptor hypofunction that occurs as the brain ages may be partially responsible for memory deficits associated with aging.[5] Schizophrenia may also have to do with irregular NMDA receptor function (the glutamate hypothesis of schizophrenia).[6] Increased levels of another NMDA antagonist, kynurenic acid, may aggravate the symptoms of schizophrenia, according to the "kynurenic hypothesis".[7] NMDA receptor antagonists can mimic these problems; they sometimes induce "psychotomimetic" side effects, symptoms resembling psychosis. Such side effects caused by NMDA receptor inhibitors include hallucinations, paranoid delusions, confusion, difficulty concentrating, agitation, alterations in mood, nightmares,[8] catatonia,[9] ataxia,[10] anesthesia,[11] and learning and memory deficits.[12]
Because of these psychotomimetic effects, NMDA receptor antagonists, especially phencyclidine, ketamine, and dextromethorphan, are used as recreational drugs. At subanesthetic doses, these drugs have mild stimulant effects and, at higher doses, begin inducing dissociation and hallucinations, though these effects and the strength thereof vary from drug to drug.[13]
Most NMDA receptor antagonists are metabolized in the liver.[14][15] Frequent administration of most NMDA receptor antagonists can lead to tolerance, whereby the liver will more quickly eliminate NMDA receptor antagonists from the bloodstream.[16]
NMDA receptor antagonists are also under investigation as antidepressants. Ketamine has been demonstrated to produce lasting antidepressant effects after administration in a clinical setting. In 2019, esketamine, an NMDA antagonist enantiomer of ketamine, was approved for use as an antidepressant in the United States.[17] In 2022, Auvelity was approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression.[citation needed] This combination medication contains dextromethorphan, an NMDA receptor antagonist.
Neurotoxicity
Olney's lesions involve mass vacuolization of neurons observed in rodents.[18][19] However, many suggest that this is not a valid model of human use, and studies conducted on primates have shown that use must be heavy and chronic to cause neurotoxicity.[20][21] A 2009 review found no evidence of ketamine-induced neuron death in humans.[22] However, temporary and permanent cognitive impairments have been shown to occur in long-term or heavy human users of the NMDA antagonists PCP and ketamine. A large-scale, longitudinal study found that current frequent ketamine users have modest cognitive deficits, while infrequent or former heavy users do not.[23] Many drugs have been found that lessen the risk of neurotoxicity from NMDA receptor antagonists. Centrally acting alpha 2 agonists such as clonidine and guanfacine are thought to most directly target the etiology of NMDA neurotoxicity. Other drugs acting on various neurotransmitter systems known to inhibit NMDA antagonist neurotoxicity include: anticholinergics, diazepam, barbiturates,[24] ethanol,[25] 5-HT2A serotonin receptor agonists,[26] anticonvulsants,[27] and muscimol.[28]
Potential for treatment of excess excitotoxicity
Since NMDA receptor overactivation is implicated in excitotoxicity, NMDA receptor antagonists have held much promise for the treatment of conditions that involve excitotoxicity, including benzodiazepine withdrawal, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's. This is counterbalanced by the risk of developing Olney's lesions,[29] and studies have started to find agents that prevent this neurotoxicity.[25][28] Most clinical trials involving NMDA receptor antagonists have failed due to unwanted side effects of the drugs; since the receptors also play an important role in normal glutamatergic neurotransmission, blocking them causes side-effects. These results have not yet been reproduced in humans, however.[30] Mild NMDA receptor antagonists like amitriptyline have been found to be helpful in benzodiazepine withdrawal.[31]
Mechanism of action
The NMDA receptor is an ionotropic receptor that allows for the transfer of electrical signals between neurons in the brain and in the spinal column. For electrical signals to pass, the NMDA receptor must be open. To remain open, glutamate and glycine must bind to the NMDA receptor. An NMDA receptor that has glycine and glutamate bound to it and has an open ion channel is called "activated."
Chemicals that deactivate the NMDA receptor are called antagonists. NMDAR antagonists fall into four categories: Competitive antagonists blocks, binding to neurotransmitter glutamate sites; glycine antagonists blocks, binding to glycine sites; noncompetitive antagonists inhibits, binding to NMDARs allosteric sites; and uncompetitive antagonists blocks, binding to a site within the ion channel.[10]
