aprepitant

Aprepitant (Aprepitant`) is a Substance P/Neurokinin-1 Receptor Antagonist. The mechanism of action of aprepitant is as a Neurokinin 1 Antagonist, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inhibitor, and Cytochrome P450 2C9 Inducer, and Cytochrome P450 3A4 Inducer.

rac-Aprepitant-d4 (enantiomer) is a deuterated compound of rac-Aprepitant. rac-Aprepitant has a CAS number of 170729-80-3.

Fosaprepitant dimeglumine (MK-0517) is the dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, a water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug of aprepitant with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid conversion to aprepitant, this agent selectively binds to human substance P neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS), inhibiting receptor binding of endogenous substance P and preventing substance P-induced emesis.

Fosaprepitant-d4 Dimeglumine is a deuterated compound of Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine. Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine has a CAS number of 265121-04-8. Fosaprepitant Dimeglumine is the dimeglumine salt form of fosaprepitant, the water-soluble, N-phosphorylated prodrug of aprepitant, with antiemetic activity. Upon intravenous administration and rapid conversion to aprepitant, this agent binds selectively to the human substance P/neurokinin 1 (NK1) receptors in the central nervous system (CNS).
