NMDA receptor antagonists have potential for therapeutics in neurological and psychiatric diseases, including neurodegenerative epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, substance abuse disorder (SUD), major depressive (MDD). (S)-ketamine was the first of a novel class antidepressants, rapid-acting to be approved medical use. The stereoisomer, (R)-ketamine (arketamine), is currently under development treatment-resistant depression (TRD). compound has demonstrated efficacy multiple animal models. Two clinical studies disclosed TRD bipolar depression. A study by drug sponsor recently failed reach priori endpoints but post hoc analysis revealed efficacy. value supported experimental data humans rodents, showing that it less sedating, does not produce marked psychotomimetic or dissociative effects, than (S)-ketamine, produces models range disorders. mechanisms action antidepressant effects are hypothesized due antagonism and/or non-NMDA mechanisms. We suggest further experimentation with will create improved medicines some disorders underserved current medications.

Arketamine, the (R)-enantiomer of ketamine, exhibits antidepressant-like effects in mice, though precise molecular mechanisms remain elusive. It has been shown to reduce splenomegaly and depression-like behaviors chronic social defeat stress (CSDS) model depression. This study investigated whether spleen contributes arketamine CSDS model. We found that splenectomy significantly inhibited arketamine's CSDS-susceptible mice. RNA-sequencing analysis identified oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway prefrontal cortex (PFC) as a key mediator splenectomy's impact on effects. Furthermore, oligomycin A, an inhibitor OXPHOS pathway, reversed suppressive Specific genes within pathways, such COX11, UQCR11 ATP5e, may contribute these inhibitory Notably, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, along with appears modulate Additionally, SRI-01138, agonist TGF-β1 receptor, alleviated Subdiaphragmatic vagotomy also counteracted These findings suggest PFC play significant roles arketamine, mediated through spleen-brain axis via vagus nerve.

Relapse is common in remitted patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Arketamine, an (R)-enantiomer of ketamine, has persistent prophylactic actions inflammatory model depression. However, the precise mechanisms underlying these remain unknown. Given role brain-spleen axis depression, we sought to identify splenic molecular targets that play a arketamine. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1.0 mg/kg) was administered 6 days after single injection arketamine (10 or saline. RNA-sequencing analysis found altered expression heme biosynthesis II pathway. Quantitative RT-PCR revealed pretreatment blocked increased genes involved pathway LPS-treated mice, namely, 5-aminolevulinase synthase 2 (Alas2), ferrochelatase (Fech), hydroxymethylbilane (Hmbs). Interestingly, there were positive correlations between and spleen weight plasma levels pro-inflammatory cytokines. We also higher ALAS2 FECH from MDD patients. Pretreatment key intermediate precursor heme, 5-aminolaevulinic acid (300 mg/kg/day for 3 days), caused splenomegaly, cytokines, depression-like behavior low-dose LPS (0.1 mg/kg)-treated mice. inhibitor, succinyl acetone (120 had effects These data suggest novel inflammation-related Therefore, could be new target prevention relapse
