Lack of Antidepressant Effects of (2R,6R)-Hydroxynorketamine in a Rat Learned Helplessness Model: Comparison with (R)-Ketamine
Background (R)-Ketamine exhibits rapid and sustained antidepressant effects in animal models of depression. It is stereoselectively metabolized to (R)-norketamine and subsequently to (2R,6R)-hydroxynorketamine in the liver. The metabolism of ketamine to hydroxynorketamine was recently demonstrated to be essential for ketamine's antidepressant actions. However, no study has compared the antidepr...
متن کاملMechanistic Target of Rapamycin–Independent Antidepressant Effects of (R)-Ketamine in a Social Defeat Stress Model
BACKGROUND The role of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in the antidepressant effects of ketamine is controversial. In addition to mTOR, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) is a key signaling molecule in prominent pathways that regulate protein synthesis. (R)-Ketamine has a greater potency and longer-lasting antidepressant effects than (S)-ketamine. Here we investiga...
متن کاملCorrection to "Antidepressant Potential of (R)-Ketamine in Rodent Models: Comparison with (S)-Ketamine".
The rapid-acting and long-lasting antidepressant effects of (R,S)-ketamine have recently gained much attention. Although (S)-ketamine has been studied as an active isomer, recent evidence suggests that (R)-ketamine exhibits longer-lasting antidepressant effects than (S)-ketamine in rodents. However, the antidepressant potential of (R)-ketamine has not been fully addressed. In the present study,...
متن کاملBeyond Ketamine: New Approaches to the Development of Safer Antidepressants
BACKGROUND Ketamine has been reported to exert rapid and sustained antidepressant effects in patients with depression, including patients with treatment-resistant depression. However, ketamine has several drawbacks such as psychotomimetic/dissociative symptoms, abuse potential and neurotoxicity, all of which prevent its routine use in daily clinical practice. METHODS Therefore, development of...
متن کاملKetamine and the potential role for rapid-acting antidepressant medications.
Ketamine appears to be the first medication to produce a rapid, although short-lasting, antidepressant response. This finding emerges from two studies: the first was a pilot study published in 2000 by a group of investigators at Yale University [1], and the second was a larger study published last year by an investigative team based at the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health Intramural Res...
