Esketamine, sold under the brand names Spravato (for depression) and Ketanest (for anesthesia) among others, [10] [12] is the S(+) enantiomer of ketamine. [5] [13] It is a dissociative hallucinogen drug used as a general anesthetic and as an antidepressant for treatment of depression.
A slightly different version of ketamine, called esketamine or Spravato, was approved by the FDA in 2019 for treatment-resistant depression. Esketamine is given as a nasal spray and must be ...
An enantiomer of ketamine – esketamine commercially sold as Spravato – was approved as an antidepressant by the European Medicines Agency in 2019. [63] Esketamine was approved as a nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression in the United States [64] and elsewhere in 2019 (see Esketamine and Depression). The Canadian Network for Mood and ...
At week 32, 49.1% of patients in the esketamine group and 32.9% of the patients in the quetiapine group were in remission. The study had limitations. It compared nasal esketamine to only one other ...
Arketamine (developmental code names PCN-101, HR-071603), also known as (R)-ketamine or (R)-(−)-ketamine, is the (R)-(−) enantiomer of ketamine. [1] [2] [3] Similarly to racemic ketamine and esketamine, the S(+) enantiomer of ketamine, arketamine is biologically active; however, it is less potent as an NMDA receptor antagonist and anesthetic and thus has never been approved or marketed for ...
Current ketamine treatment is in the form of a nasal spray (in the form of esketamine) or injection. Both require that the patient stays in the clinic to be monitored for around 2 hours. This ...
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.
The researchers on the new study say that infusions of racemic ketamine (which uses two forms of ketamine molecules, in contrast with esketamine’s single form) are cheaper than esketamine and ...
