Usmarapride (INN Tooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code name SUVN-D4010) is a serotonin 5-HT4 receptor agonist which is or was under development for the treatment of cognitive deficits in Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. [1] [2] [3] It is taken orally. [1]

Contents

Pharmacology

The drug is a potent and selective partial agonist of the serotonin 5-HT4 receptor. [2] [3] It is highly selective against the serotonin 5-HT3 receptor and other closely related receptors. [2] The drug shows cognition- and memory-enhancing effects, neuroprotective effects, and antidepressant-like effects in preclinical research. [2] [3] [4] Its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics have been evaluated in humans. [2] [5] In terms of chemical structure, the drug is an indazole derivative. [6]

Development

Usmarapride is under development by Suven Life Sciences. [1] As of September 2023, no recent development has been reported for treatment of Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. [1] The drug has reached phase 1 clinical trials for both of these indications. [1]
