Chemistry:SXC-2023
SXC-2023 is a cystine–glutamate antiporter (SLC7A11; System xc- or Sxc) activator or glutamate modulator which is under development for the treatment of impulse control disorders such as trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder).[1][2][3][4][5] It is also being studied for treatment of cocaine-related disorders and smoking withdrawal.[1][2] The drug is taken orally.[6] The effects of SXC-2023 in animals have been studied.[3] SXC-2023 was first described in the scientific literature by 2018.[3] It was originated by Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee and is under development by Promentis Pharmaceuticals and the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA).[1][2] As of June 2025, the drug is in phase 2 clinical trials.[1][2]
